What other "feather under the ribs" are you talking about? That's a bad analogy, it's like a kitten with a dog's fifth wheel. How does magic fundamentally differ from other skills in the expansion? It's just another passive effect; the only difference is that it's more overpowered skills from the cards... Well, he could have grabbed something physical from the cards, which would make him kill everyone; what would change?
It would change the fact that in a warrior tournament, he would win without magic, and there would be no questions about him. And I wouldn't tease him, saying that he's a cheater.
That's how I could complain, and it would sound fairer than your complaints, but in fact, it has always been a high-risk, high-reward event, and I don't find myself right in complaining, and I never have.
Secondly, if someone does get it, surprisingly, there are players who, like crabs in a pot, drown their own and don't let others have this fun with their whining. Therefore, I will be harsh, but I don't like the claims against Arts. For once, he won, and you didn't lose; you even got the same reward (this is, by the way, very correct, and it was in AA and here), so leave him alone, Neb, what are you doing for no reason?
