This isn't a knock on streamers. I like to watch their videos. I've just noticed over the years that streamers tend to make big claims about how good a card is going to be and a lot of the time they are way off. I first noticed this watching Swim talk about card changes. I would remember him saying a card would be bad and then it turns out to be really good and I was a bit surprised since one might think that a very high level player wouldn't be so far off.
Here is the latest one that I noticed. Here is Pumpkn talking about Koranthi Heatwave before the patch. I had thought that heatwave looked pretty strong. I listened to his prediction and wasn't sure what to think. He kind of threw water on my initial hype for this buff. Then during this season I was looking through my deck and thinking I should switch out one of my high provision cards to combat the meta. I decided heatwave would be a more flexible counter card that would fit my deck well. I put this card in my deck completely on my own without having heard anyone say a single good thing about it. I was very happy with the results of this card and thought about what pumpkn had said about it. It's just a reminder to try cards out yourself. Don't just listen to streamers.
I then heard Pumpkn say this on commanders horn and thought it was kind of funny. BTW I'll say again that I am a fan of Pumpkn. He is a really good player.
