Balance and Diversity after the latest patch
Despite all the complaining in some other threads I must say that the latest patch really added some more diversity and balance to the game.
I play ranked currently at rank 9 and since the patch I see a lot more different decks than before. To me it seems that there is no no-brainer cheese deck anymore that you either play or try to counter (like PFI or Axemen). Maybe that is different on lower or higher ranks but in my experience balance really improved with the last patch.
I still encounter Axemen or Radovid from time to time, but the diversity of decks and strategies is significant.
I play NG currently - I lose, I win and quite often it is a really close match with just a few points advantage for either me or the opponent. But it feels more balanced.
Anyone else feeling this way? Or have statistics that proof me wrong? (Unlike the US-Government I do believe in statistics!)
