You an say SoP Soft counter SoSac too?

Your creatures don't attack = he don't heal

[Jenkar]

SoP & sundial. Sundial is very soft though.

All I have to say is they are pretty awesome

I like Shards, I dont even mind how they are implemented. I dont like how OTHER is implemented because OTHER is impossible in its current form to balance between rainbows and mono/duos.

I almost agree. (I only disagree about whether it is impossible.) Cards that cost can be balanced between rainbows and duos. HOWEVER such balance is difficult and restrictive. Alternative implementations of OTHER would reduce the difficulty and restrictions.

There are many such ideas in the Design Theory section. (X quanta of your mark, X quanta of a single type, ...)

You an say SoP Soft counter SoSac too?

Your creatures don't attack = he don't heal

problem is, the opponent will still damage you for 2 turns

So? That happens regardless of the presence or absence of SoSac.

I must say i don`t like idea of shards. First thing is they don`t belong to any elment so rainbows are favoured by implementing them and I don`t think this is something we really need. But that`s not really a big deal, the worst is they are killing creativity. Almost every new deck posted on forum contains at least one (usually more) kind of shard. I have a feeling that community members don`t try to develop new strategies and combos anymore but focus on attempts at fitting shards in every possible deck.
