I'm actually at the point where I just stopped playing the game because of it.
I'm very sorry to hear this, and hope it doesn't end up being a permanent situation.
I think we're stuck in an unfortunate loop right now re: Borg and OS Fed.
If you suggest nerfing OS Fed (or solvers in general), it's said that you can't, because then Borg aggro decks (and lockdown/control decks in general) would dominate the game.
If you suggest nerfing Borg aggro (or lockdown/control in general), it's said that you can't, because then OS Fed (and solvers in general) would dominate the game.
If you suggest nerfing both, it's said that you can't, because then the strong dilemmas of recent CC vintage would turn every game into a long drawn-out slog without adequate offensive weapons.
It all ties back into the overarching problem of The Pace.
I've had all these conversations more than once. Heck, I've been on both ends of more than one of them! And, the thing is, nothing I just said is
wrong. It's just a Gordian Knot of interlocking escalations that we seem institutionally ill-equipped to handle, despite several institutional attempts to do so. (It's gone on for long enough that I think it's fair to say that there's real institutional dysfunction on this.)
I know the issue remains high on Charlie's radar, but... I don't know, it's a hard problem. For all his power (on paper), Charlie's still just one man.
