However, I am a little scared about what happens when I start hitting the numerous decks that are so popular right now, like black hole discord, or decks filled with pests and EQ... because the quanta is so tight.
Play smart. DiscHole... There's not much that can be done about that except try to be faster. Devourers... Damn annoying but can get through them. EQ? Not a problem! You don't even need the Aether to win! And when you say 'stumbled', that might have been me in pvp
