Honestly, I didn’t mind clog nearly as much as most of the community seemed to. It made sense to leave clog with some playable cards before sunset and I don’t think this is even that toxic, disrupting the opponent’s game plan should be a perfectly viable strategy in every card game imo. In fact I don’t think it could really be much better than this. Also I don’t think criticizing everything the developers do is right. Even if you think everything they’re doing is wrong (which simply cannot be true), remember they are working under a lot of pressure, plus they are working on the game purely out of passion at this point, so we should at least show that we still care about the game as much as they do (if you don’t care then downvote this and delete the game already dammit). Let’s also remember that this is patch day and we cannot be sure of anything (clog might turn out to be a b-tier deck that you see once every 100 games for all we know) so save all the criticisms for until the meta has actually settled down.
