If magnetic pulse goes back to the anti-equip 0 ap for your oppnent every turn or ponderous half the player base will quit within hours. Nobody i repeat nobody enjoyed playing against that pile of Bane Shift, to this day i rather play against double chopping blocks and the old tomb than the old anti- equip bgs of is.
Hey genius ponderous is different to what it was before. Ponderous now just makes abilities cost +1 ap it is not nearly the same as it was before.
I actually like seeing decks in their best form, or near that. Especially when played by top players. It's interesting to watch AND it is a pretty good measure of the maximum potential a certain theme/decktype has. Is Blood truly OP? I dunno. But I feel like watching Tiny play it would give a more reliable idea than a bunch of forum posts from a community where half the people don't know what they're talking about and many of them are biased in a way that is hard to account for. So yeah, I'd have given him the runes regardless of the outcome. With the condition that he played his best when using Blood.
Still a dumb idea and broken. Ponderous makes tortuns barely playable so you think handing out ponderous to opposing champs would be okay....
