Dave's suggestion involves fewer games, and the chances of easily making it to the top 2 are higher. "Illumination" is, let's say, an average option. Although I also agree that we should play "everyone against everyone." They say there will be a number of insignificant games. I don't think so; the players and the level of competition here are too high to play carelessly. Personally, even if I lost 2 games and lost all chances of winning prizes, I would play the 3rd game with full dedication, just for the sake of prestige.
Regarding dungeons – I'm for it. Regarding scouts – I'm against it because then you would also have to ban specialists with 4th-level magic, and so on.
You just didn't like Beatrice at level 30))... in the center. But I did! And I didn't even need to buy more heroes to do scouting. This immediately destroys all concepts of the Zekral when some useless Castle player with useless skills enters there.
