Would you still play HSR if the healing rule were fixed and reverted? Until this season I was never a big fan of it, but it's a must-have since it stops all healing now. Is it worth the slot without that boost?

yeah i think it is.. so much cloud, pc, and tec search and recur a lot. i think it's the best def art in the game atm (outside of healing restrict etc)

HSR has been a staple in almost all of my decks this season, T1 and T2. Its inclusion has way more to do with Armor of God/Judges speed/Music Leader than it has to do with healing. CoW is going to make it an even stronger artifact which is why we also made some new artifact counter cards. Even if the healing ruling were reversed it would still be going in all my decks.

HSR is basically a staple right now.  In any deck.

Sorry for the double post - wanted to separate my HSR comment from my deck commentary...

Is Stalks of Flax missing?  You have a deck that uses Corrupt People, Continuous Evil, and Rahab, and you don't use Stalks of Flax?

I never said it was a highly-refined deck...  ;D

I just assumed that was the whole reason behind pairing a Joshua offense with an Antediluvian defense...  You know, other than the fact that they both contain new cards, and your job was to playtest them   :D
