It is quite possible that this mode will unlock the full potential. Right now, everyone is using the same basic neutral units and swords, and they’ve forgotten that there are other classes and maps.

Aaargh.
I don't see the difference between "pick a class for yourself from the top 3 best" and "pick a class for your opponent from the top 3 worst." Otherwise, this mode only has downsides, in my opinion. But my opinion is suddenly the most important thing to me.

In tier 2, after the rotation, there are no clearly weakest classes; all classes are viable and strong in their own way.

Even a rune, perhaps?

Even the forest, even Allah.

Interesting ideas, let's see what comes of it.

Even a Rune, perhaps?

Played Rune today for the daily quest – managed to do 2-3 wins, just like before. The deck turned out to be quite aggressive, but something is still missing. In my opinion, the problem with Rune lies in the presence of two extensive class mechanics (Garbage and Spellboosts) that often don't mesh well with each other (you've boosted spells – Garbage cards are useless, and vice versa). Although maybe I just lack experience in the arena with this craft.
By the way, did it seem to me, or are neutral cards really offered more often now?

That's why, essentially, Rune sucks. If Sylvan has a lot of generic units created for Tier 2, then Rune also has neutral creatures and spellcasters, resulting in a complete mess.

In tier 2, after the rotation, there are no truly weak classes; all classes are viable and strong in their own way.

I haven't tried the latest expansion yet, but in the pagan one, I tried playing as Sylvan, and I got a lot of units with fairy synergy, but almost no fairy producers... So, I decided to stop these experiments for now (although I ended up winning a decent number of games, but I just got lucky with the opponents; they seemed to be in an even worse state).

In ToG, I got into the habit of playing as Sylvan. When it works well, Warden, Eyrin, Klov, Queen, Tia, and those fat bastards are all viable. It's not very difficult to defeat weaker players if you have a lot of 2-PP units, so it's quite good. I need to try the Warlord Sylvan; there's even more stuff there, and those two small bastards that give +1 to the map – I haven't used them much in Constructed yet, but in Tier 2, they could be infinite value.

I haven't tried it in the latest expansion yet, but I tried playing as the Forest faction, and it gave me a bunch of units with fairy synergy, but almost no fairy summoners... So I decided to stop these experiments for now (although I ended up winning a decent number of games, but I just got lucky with the opponents, they were in an even worse state).

There are only about one and a half of these units with fairies, and most of them are in the cut version of the original game; you probably just messed things up because you weren't used to it. Besides, they added a lot of overpowered stuff to The Great Game.

Choose a deck for your opponent. Control over the situation is limited (you can only choose one of two options), but there is some mental load involved, albeit to a lesser extent than creating a good deck.

I have a completely opposite opinion. Drafting the best units in a regular tier 2 is just mindless; anyone who plays Arena regularly won't think for more than a second when making a choice, they already know all the best and worst units. Drafting for the opponent was more difficult for me, considering that there are many normal cards, and personally, I don't often get two equally bad options or one super-awful one that would be suitable for an opponent in the corresponding mode. Usually, all my drafts look very good; the role is played only by who you get as an enemy and how the cards work out. I think we can thank the rotation for this again; Arena seems much more balanced since then.

Okay, I listened to the wise Revan and Loken, so why not give it a try...

There are only about one and a half of those fairy units; there are more of them in the original version. You probably just messed things up because you're not used to it. Besides, they added a lot of overpowered features in The Grand Inquisitor.

I took the best parts from what was available. I tried to reduce the number of maps that rely heavily on fairies, etc. But nothing came of it.

Why aren't you submitting your maps? It would be interesting to compare and evaluate maps that wouldn't normally be seen in such a contest. And the evaluation criteria would be different.

Hmm, maybe I will send it... What's the deadline?
