Shadowverse

I'm not sure if it's worth using Lysandra in artifacts. Yes, it's an additional win condition, but at the same time, it's an anti-synergy with the main gameplay through Deus, and that's a serious drawback... From my observations, Lysandra is much more effective if you go for full control and build a deck specifically around her. When playing with Deus, as Vish rightly pointed out, it's much easier and faster to win with Radiants than to try to make Lysandra work with artifacts. However, I wouldn't say that even a specialized deck is much better; it's still Tier 3. And perhaps that's even a good thing; something like this, as well as Mystery, shouldn't become too strong. In general, I feel that OoT will be remembered as the expansion that spawned a whole host of decks that are often just awful to play against – and that includes pre-nerf DFB (already history), post-nerf Shadow, and Highlanders, all in the same vein... I qualified for the Grand Prix with Gigahimera (4-1), so now I can safely quit for 30 rupees, which is what I advise everyone to do – this Grand Prix promises to be unpleasant, given the current situation in the game... When the meta is such that the ladder (and, consequently, the Grand Prix) is flooded with the same Tier 1 deck that beats anything, then it's a terrible meta. Right now, that's exactly what's happening in the rotation, and in Unlimited, as far as I understand, things aren't much better either (at the top, there's Shadow of Ectar and a couple of decks that can counter it). Before the nerfs, of course, everything was stronger, so Shadow wasn't as much of a problem as it is now. Sigames decided to tackle everything at once and failed to achieve their goal, ultimately ruining the meta again, as 3-4 decks at the top are obviously better than one. I guess I was lucky again to get GM at a more or less normal point in the expansion, before they messed up again. Now, I would immediately refuse such an idea, just imagining a hundred Shadows standing in the way... What can I say, hello Bots 2.0.
