Doing so while also completely neglecting Historic to the point of absurdity just feels like they're admitting Arena is gonna stay the 'standard and lovely sealed/draft variants' platform for the foreseeable future. They have stated over and over and over that the purpose of Arena is Standard and all other game modes are just there to supplement it.

Mike N Eich posted:Its too bad Wizards doesn’t do content errata (well, often) because Oko could be a fair card if you lowered his starting loyalty, turned the Elk into a minus loyalty and maybe turned the plus into merely a plus 1. It’s like somewhere in development they turned every single number into a bigger number, except his costing cost. You cant do an errata like that, because of just how much confusion it would cause. Banning the card in literally ever format (a thing that would never happen) would cause less of a headache. That being said, if literally the only difference was that oko came in at 3 loyalty and ticked up to 5, the card would be way more balanced as it would at least die to fry. Red would be able to exist as a color.

Ate My Balls Redux posted:A ton of other CCGs in the past have done content errata and it works fine. Never understood why Wizards won't. Magic has, and does, do erratas. Many cards have been erratad. The issue here is that changing literally every meaningful number on a single card creates an extremely unfriendly player environment and is less of an eratta and more of a complete redesign.

GrandpaPants posted:Aren't most Magic errata stuff like adding that oops, this effect ends at the end of the turn or stuff like that? Has there ever been a "balance" errata? Like Bust Rodd said, erattas have been to clear up unclear rules interactions or to add for unforeseen consequences that R&D didn't catch. Sometimes they are used to fix flat out printing errors. The Hostage Taker eratta is probably the best example of one, and its recent.

The idea that R&D is like incapable of making mistakes seems really short sighted and not everything comes down to corporate meddling. If anything, corporate has an increased incentive to *not* print things like Oko, because a healthy standard is now imperative to the continued health of Arena, which is a major product. When you work with a small group of people in a closed environment it is easy to just gently caress up sometimes and overlook something. People are not perfect, yo.

Doltos posted:There's been too heavy of a trend towards powerful planeswalkers which finally resulted in Oko. That looks like an ongoing issue with the R&D team. That explanation just linked makes me feel like they don't understand the issue that makes planewalkers overpowered. She said they underestimated the +1's defensive capabilities by shutting down opponent's answers. That ignores the high health, two powerful plus abilities, low mana cost, and instant pay off before even touching the -2. I mean that much is obvious, they want to push the powerlevel of planeswalkers in general. We just had an entire set built around them. That does not mean that they printed oko knowing they just printed the best planeswalker ever made and said "Good job team"
