Grrrr.....http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75846/29443457/What_is_WRONG_with_you,_WotC_Grrrr.....As some of you may know, I try to keep track of the current Modern meta by looking at the daily Scheduled Event results on the What's Happening? page. Over the past week, ten events have not been reported. Judging by the dearth of results, I see othe1. Formats are being solved too quickly.This is a problem better solved by development. As pointed out earlier in this very thread, the real culprit here is mythic rarity and the corresponding decrease in set sizes, along with borked cards that sliphttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75846/29443457/What_is_WRONG_with_you,_WotC_Grrrr.....?post_id=532097345#5320973451.

It's been 6 months now. Has the "solving" of Standard and Block slowed down any? Has your experiment yielded concrete results? By what I can see, no it hasn't. From where I'm sitting and what I'm seeing, all this decision has done is keep informahttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75846/29443457/What_is_WRONG_with_you,_WotC_Grrrr.....?post_id=532038437#532038437So.

Looking at all the deck tech vids, articles, blogs, posts, and tweets about Standard, I don't see this redaction policy slowing down the "solve for x" at any appreciable rate. But, I don't have all the data. And who'http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75846/29443457/What_is_WRONG_with_you,_WotC_Grrrr.....?post_id=529256057#529256057So here we are, 2 weeks into GTC.

All the brouhaha around the office keeping you too busy? Cute office personnel distracting you? Too bad. This cranky old fart can multitask quite well. Why can't you?
