This month are continuing our dominant strategies series, a long-form series looking at dominant strategies and how games prevent them. This is third of five intended episodes.

In this episode, we focus on how games encourage players to try new things, buy always giving them different tools to try, and avoiding giving them the same options too often. We look at Magic The Gathering, Shiren The Wanderer, Lost Dimension, Unlimited Saga and Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.
