But this is no discussion. Than you need to fix that elements cant die while winning at least one Match during a every round. Like Death with his mummydeck.
To have more cards is given by circumstances war rules are stated. Air got an advantage to be alive getting one bye and we not, cause of their Deck bringing them Place 2. If they had played that Match without Access to a 4th unbeatable Deck they could have suffered a 24card loss more.
Playing fewer matches always benefits the better Decks. You can much more predict. I Guess you can try to fix that Next war but for me always war was those winning being clever enough to know rules... just like many times team aether loosing games on purpose to drop down playing fewer Matches. 🤗
