Sure, I have no problem with what you’re saying here about the card itself. But, saying “I guess Dynomatic is unplayable then too. Someone should go tell all the Control Warriors when someone says, “hey, this card might not be good” isn’t really an honest comparison at all.

On paper, sure, they both deal damage split randomly to minions. Okay, but then why aren’t we also leveling comparisons against, say, Mana Reservoir and Malygos. Both of those give spell damage bonuses, right? It’s because we understand that these cards, while both say “spell damage + x” on the card, behave wildly different in practice and play. You would never see mana reservoir get revealed and be like “well, if malygos already sees a ton of play, this should too! it’s weaker, but it’s also cheaper, and you can run two!”

But hey, that’s just my take, at least.

Ah, yes, I forgot that Dyn-o-matic also has probably one of the hardest deck-building restrictions ever introduced in the game on its card text. And I forgot it’s a legendary card, so you can only play one copy of it! Wow, what an apt comparison!!

That’s such an incredibly stupid statement to make because it is so easy to look up the actual data these days with sites like HSReplay. Looking at HSReplay, for example, in the last 30 days, the most popular Cubelock list with 24,000 games recorded runs Umbra. The second and third most popular lists, with 22,000 and 15,000 games recorded respectively, also run Umbra. And that’s in a meta where Cubelock has been consistently sub 50% winrate across the board.
