Re: Do you still recommend this game?

I would probably enjoy a game against you caps.

When I look across the table and see a mass of Mass, a hoard of Stingers or walls of rats, the fun disintegrates.

Perhaps AotP will have nice counters to the commons.
The Hookmasters could lock down all the commons of any card which is really cool, so I am holding out for hope.

Re: Do you still recommend this game?

I admit that I hate playing against 4th Mass. The first NHSD tourney I organized was Take 2 (in imitation of the popular online format). I ended up playing my opponent's Stingers + Raelin against his Glads + Blasts. It was a great game, even though it was "squadscape."

I see this sentiment a lot and I don't really understand it. Almost all of my favorite armies are a healthy mix of unique heroes and common squads.
I know this expanded on in replies, but I dislike common squads because of meta game abuse.

Spam the best units to the exclusion of all else, kind of common squads.

But I think win at all costs tourney players who bring lean lists are to blame for common squads being reviled rather than common squads themselves.

Re: Do you still recommend this game?

I think Innistrad has gone a long way to keeping this game alive! It's the best set by far and really adds a lot of cool options.

I very much agree here! With the original set and Zendikar there just weren't enough options and possibilities to make the game enjoyable for extended periods of time, but with Innistrad it has opened up a wider variety of army options and army point value. So with Innistrad I would very much recommend the game!

The game is great and my underlings prefer it over classic.
