black being the weakest control color does not mean it's the weakest color

Aristocrats needs black, no 2 ways about it

and aggro with black is pretty strong

now none of this is strong enough to be a mono color deck imo, but it's basically the same situation as White had in Orgins

I wanted to thank ender1313 for explaining how matches work as it would have been a pain for me to type that all out. Hopefully infamous will shut up now

I'm glad WotC decided to not include Ruinous Path. They obviously wanted planeswalkers to be really strong in the Duels meta, and I think it's more flavourful because of that decision.

We have a 2 mana Disperse and a 3 mana Exquisite Firecraft to deal with them though. With BB in its cost it wouldn’t be so OP in my opinion.

Green have trample creatures to deal with them, white has Bonds, blue and red I've already mentioned. Black has a huge problem at the moment, in my experience with mono-b and B/X decks. Ruinous Path would've solve it just well.

Agree 100%

Black has no answer for Planeswalkers, Enchantments, Artifacts.. and it doesn't have it's signature ability.. tutoring. Ruinous Path would be a godsend for black.

Also, while browsing the comments under Mobius's latest match I've found that he also agrees with us on this topic:

"I'm still confused why we didn't get Ruinous Path in BFZ. Blue can counter walkers and White has Suppression Bonds, but that's really it. Sure red can burn them out but a lot of these walkers have such a high starting loyalty count".

Also, I share his fear of more and more upcoming Planeswalkers who will shift the meta to who casts them first, wins. It already looks that way at least on Steam. Path would be a staple in this meta.

I wonder if we'll get devour in flames kills every walker in Duels other then Jace, Telepath Unbound and Ob Nixilis Reignited, and that's only if they + the turn they come in

Imo they seem torn between keeping the game balanced and giving us the most "important/flavourable" cards, hence we end up with a cardpool where they seem terrified of making ally's too good so leave out all the good green ones + some other important ones (zulaport cut-throat) , and yet still get cards like Gideon which is pretty much an auto include in any white deck.

His name is 'permabanned'.

Send him a message on Xbox. You can download the Smartglass app for your phone and send Xbox messages from your phone.

yeah he got into a few skirmishes with someone that knew how to push his buttons. Poor guy, I miss him and the community is worse for it. Have we ever seen a conversation between, say, Mobius and Yumi? That's the kind of stuff we've been robbed of. Or Beast and Mobius? Or really Mobius and anyone with head-of-rock.

That would be two heads of rocks in that case, Barns...
