Shadowverse

Something feels off today; I think Havencraft is R.I.P.

Nah, not really... My Haven deck is still performing well, not worse than Dragon, and it hasn't become weaker with the nerfs. Although, I'm not playing with the Summit build; maybe that build isn't as good right now. And you shouldn't underestimate Snow Queen; it's the best Haven has for the early game, and I didn't hesitate to craft it.

In this regard, something like the Queen seems more dangerous – this kind of mechanic has the potential to be easily exploited. A new card comes out, they don't keep an eye on it, and that's it.

I disagree; the Queen itself isn't that easy to use. You need 10 power points, two other cards, a neutral and a class card, plus you have to discard cards... You play it at best once per match, and even then, it doesn't always guarantee a win. But yes, it's a great card and can definitely win battles.

Regarding Sword, yesterday I tested a hybrid of aggro and neutral cards, and it's working very well. It easily defeats slow decks, and with Maisy, it can even compete with Daria. A regular mid-range deck is also good; Mars carries it. I haven't tried it with Arthur; maybe it would be even better, but in principle, you can manage without him.
