3. Card Slot Discussions
Quote from Ben Brode
Seems like you guys are interested in more statistics, so here you go! Keep in mind these aren’t related to any decision-making regarding deck slots. I just mentioned the stats because I don’t think it’s super healthy when a single person represents themselves as “everyone”. The truth is there are lots of types of players.
