Posted Dec 15, 2018 (Rastakhan)Yeah, but that's not because there is no playable archetype. The Pro players just do not want a control deck with a clear win condition other than outlasting the opponent.

Posted Dec 15, 2018 (Rastakhan)The chinese stream is totally unwatchable, lol. At least if they had an English website. The number of chinese ads running on the stream is ridiculous (those are ON stream, not on the website so no, adblock would not help). Shame.

Posted Dec 15, 2018 (Rastakhan)That's what I'm asking, even Reynad and sintolol not bring any new card from latest expansion in their odd face hunter. Maybe just for punishing combo/Kingsbane deck
