Vinceras
Auto-translated
Jebus Cross and balanced templates are things that are poorly compatible. Both in SoD and in HotA. Anyone who wants balanced templates plays Mirror or something like XL+U. And certainly not on a blitz timer.
And in general, the best way to determine the strongest player is not tournaments, but the rating.
And the described tournament is something like a sports festival — a short and intense program with an emphasis on entertainment and excitement.
If HotA has so many innovations, even simultaneous turns were implemented, why not make balanced templates. And regarding Jebus Cross, in the tournament finals on XL+U it can easily deal a hand with no alternatives, so there's your spectacle. Mirror, when everything is the same, is not interesting to play, or you decide to micromanage neutrals like a pope, and they get 3 morale rolls in one round and goodbye.
