Well decided to see if pushing to legend was more reasonable under the new rank system.

Got up to rank 1 without losing, lost back down to rank 3, and then bounced around for a long time before getting it. So kind of felt similar in the end, but this is also the first time I've gotten legend so early in the season, so eh, I suppose it's less of a grind? Still enough of a grind that I probably won't do it regularly.

I mean how does it compare to like...I dunno. The Frozen Throne/Kobolds & Catacombs meta, and how when Witchwood rolled Standard over those two sets still f***ed everything up?

It's a much more mild version of TFT/KnC meta.

Like...if you are a value oriented deck you want to run a Galakrond, but the Galakronds are nothing compared to what the KFT Death Knights were like. Hero power summon...two 1/1s oh man. Hero power add a lackey to your hand. Wowzers. (All the Galakrond cards are actually quite good, but yeah...KFT was something else).

For the most part it's just a bunch of aggro and midrange decks, with a couple control decks. The decks have cost-efficient cards in them, much like KnC, but this was the more innocuous side of Kobolds and Catacombs. Like...KnC had a lot of high power cards like Dire Mole and Flanking Strike, and spellstones and fungalmancer. They were really good, but they didn't warp the game beyond recognition.

KnC also has absurd game warping cards like Carnivorous Cube, Skull of the m'nari, and Aluneth, there aren't really equivalents for those cards in standard right now.
