for sure, i think it's really easy to let that sort of bitter experience color your perspective on things without even realizing it

i deffos empathize w/ this; i was feeling super burnt after the whole aurora thing (bought into the deck and it LLed in 5 months) and a month and a half or so w/o playing any fab was really productive for me

- then i think those defense reactions absolutely did function as disruption on that turn (opponent lost permanent resources for no gain). lots of interaction in fab can have extra facets in this way because fab is a very deep and nuanced game.

i think there is room for a little bit of nuance; a classic interaction I can think of is the mind game with regards to snapdragon scalers and on-hits. e.g: if fai is attacking with a lava burst, and activates snaps with no cards, intending to utilize lynx, and gets his attack covered by a reaction-

i can appreciate that you feel exhausted with what you perceive as a certain facet of fab's design, but i think responding to someone who is being perfectly civil and constructive w/ snide remarks is a bit uncool.

The secret to gravy is to draw hot and blow them up, lol. I generally ignore allies. You're not proactive vs cindra, kayo, and a lot of random stuff. I do agree rn that into a lot of the popular and/or strong stuff we are largely racing.

Isn't sage just creating a space for the second type of thing? Pushed stuff is for 40 life formats; i think Blitz is largely being sunset for better or worse because it just isn't played.

oh, note i forgot to include
anothos is for converting aggressively; it improves your rate when casting auras (hammer cast aura is a 3 card 10/11/12 depending on aura, as opposed to fist which is a 3 card 8/9/10) so you want it when you're the proactive deck. earth heroes, rhinar, etc.
