Unsurprisingly, opponents chump attacking into this card has been a constant so far in MH3 draft. Priorities are so out of whack with the templating team, when there's a nonsense word at the top of textbox instead of the very relevant out of color keyword. Not great!

I don't understand this tournament structure. There are 19 players who went 4-3. 9 people make it, 10 miss. Based on tiebreakers! In an event, where the exact number of players are known for months. How is this a good structure?

the Pioneer RW convoke deck is probably not ban-worthy broken. Cool. But it is very frustrating to play against. It's brutally fast. It over-emphasizes goldfishing and being on the play. Which is really the last thing Pioneer needed more of.
