Long way have we come since January Mulligan update. Back then Slama talked about revisting Blacklisting, if it still was a widely discussed topic in the community. However, as time passes, and the memories of 'Blacklisting' slowly fades away, either because beta players forgot about it, or because the discussions lacks momentum, as new players are not familiar with it and cannot contribute to a focused discussion concerning this very topic.
Blacklisting means that if you mulligan away a card, you wont redraw into it or the copy of it, during the current mulligan phase.
What we see from time and time again is this wide frustration, when not being able to draw certain cards, or drawing them at the wrong time, and being forced to keep them. No one actually wants to mulligan away a gold card, say Renew, despite it being useless in the first round, as the chances of drawing into the card again is low, or 1/10, for each mulligan, based on number of remaining cards in your deck. It feels bad to be forced into a decision that was predetermined by an RNG factor.
Yet no one discusses this topic, and I think that we as community can use a little help from moderators, or anything, making it a 'red tracked post' where we could debate consistency of this game, how it effect overwhelming majority of net decks we started to observe, and the way you basically are forced to construct your deck, eg. consistent, with no slight variations with regards to minor combos or other shenanigangs, that can surprise your opponent, like a true strategic game should.
Now to my question.
Is it possible to have a red tracked post where we can discuss the consistency of this game? This is a major issue that would need the attention of the majority of the players, as the change would fundamentally affect the current game play.
And how do the developers themselves feel about the consistency, the amount of playable decks that we observe, and the overall need to bring back the old black-listing system?
