@UnPassive @MacedWindow to many old school players there are two big factors in what has changed:
* too many card variants, so you can't recognise cards by the art any more.
* too many cards being released each year. Heavily invested players used to be able to keep up with knowing the text of every card in standard. But there are more cards instandard now (all big sets) and standard legal cards are only a portion of new cards.
People didn't need to read every cardthat was played years ago, because they already knew most of them.
