well standard has become a giant snoozefest lately. We have the exact same decks we started theros with and you could literally play the original lists and be successful. Hate to say it but this standard sucks, since theros there has been zero innovation. All the decks are extremely boring and formulaic. Wish that U/W heroic deck could have at least made top 16 to shake things up a bit. I've stopped playing at this point, just waiting for October now. I think we haven't had threads for the past 3 events because there is literally nothing to discuss.
Yeah I kind of agree IronPlushy.. there is basically no innovation since theros, It is still technically diverse, you can play the deck style you like to play its just the same deck you were playing at the start of the year. It has just got stuck in a meta game loop, rather than real innovation.
It is weird did we have the same problem last standard? it didn't feel as bad for some reason.

I was in love with standard last season, Thragtusk and all. I can't quite put my finger on it either but after this season I just feel kind of..exhausted.
Well Theros came out in october and mono blue fell into place a couple weeks later so we have had the same decks since the end of october last year, thats 8 months of scarce innovation.
