Hello everyone, usually my posts on this site are related to decks I make, or ones I try out. But the "new" keyword Infuse really frustrates me as it devalues everything the design team did well with a keyword like dredge.
Infuse is just a recycled mechanic from Nethrandamus. Only, the card never saw play as token support was non-existent. Nethrandamus reads "Infuse Endlessly upto (10)" if it was re-written today. Sad to see the design team regress after their recent triumph.
Such occurrences have happened before with Rush and Charge before but rush became an evolution into an evergreen mechanic, infuse wont be.
What do you guys think, is this lazy design? Or are you all okay with them repackaging old mechanics to sell expansions??
Most keywords are recycled mechanics, the whole point is to put the mechanic into one tiny word so they can add more words around it and do fun things with it.
Is this your first HS year? This happens all the time, and this is even a happy circumstance, because they built a theme around it, with extended support, literally turned it into a keyword. Not sure why you're arguing that is a bad thing.
There will be always be some overlap, but infuse doesn't sell the expansion by itself. You just sound like another doomsayer that this game has seen for so long, asking for a revolution because they reprinted a card.
