What was once Type II is now Type Poo

Tried Standard "MTG" for the first time in years. It was a wretched experience. Hordes of creature-enchantment combo decks with tons of redundancy. You either join them or ya go extreme control packing copious counter/removal/card draw and only about four win conditions*. I despise the latter style of pile as much as I do copying a net.deck. Ended up with a BGW mid-range creation that won maybe 25% of the time. Wrong for the meta but at least it was mine - and it appeared to confuse the odd person. Will now be returning to Brawl (~1v1 Commander), where my win rate is closer to 50% and, despite the number of broken cards, games actually seem fairer.



*It's more likely the opponent will concede out of boredom rather than wait for you to finally start attacking with a lone critter backed up by a full grip.
