I mentioned on my other post "Winning cardboard" that UFS has seduced me as of late. I bought into it at GenCon 50 last year and loved the thrill of opening booster packs again. I grew up in the mid 90's when everything was a card game and as a result, I deeply hate Living card games. I realize the merits to the LCG format, but as a consumer and player, I do love buying a box of boosters. I have easily dumped over $2000 into UFS so far and have now played in a couple of tournaments. The shocking thing:
Each round they play 2 out of 3 matches!
The mechanics are different (I will concede that), but it burns me when our local tournaments cannot finish a match within regulation time. Decks are so defensive nowadays that most of the time when players begin taking ability loss in overtime, they are at maximum. Now with "Doors of time" a player simply hangs on to two of these and they will easily win once overtime starts.
The game is too defensive which lends itself to broken strategies making the game un-fun, and in turn slows the pace of tournament rounds. You are all free to disagree with me. But unless you are running at least a monthly 8 person tournament, you won't understand.
