Well personally I don't care about all you people who say your going to quit because of this. For every one person who thinks this is a bad idea and is going to quit, UFS will get like 5 new players who think the game is fun cause they will be able to beat up vetran players again. So just quit if your going to quit, no need to tell us just go find a new hobby that you don't have to complain about all the time. This is prolly THE best idea they have had in a long time, yes they could have given a little more notice, but your only mad cause your stuck with legacy cards.
Is this announcement about ***rotation*** REAL!?

Yes, because telling half the fans 'Bite the pillow, I'm going in dry' is a good business decision. Less players buying less cards apperantly equals more money in FFG land.
Panda, were you at Worlds?
Did you get to see the sheer amount of not fun that the environment was? I DROPPED from the tournament after the fourth round and went to draft magic with Scott Gaines and Havoc because sitting on my ass wasting 50 minutes of my life trying to win one round in a best two out of three match was not why I came to GenCon. I will mention I was playing Order and playing it aggressively and I still hated everything about the environment.
80% of the time, playing that round of UFS was not even playing it a game. It was sitting there and watching the opponent build and build and build and build and build and build and build and build and build.....then win. You so much as try and put a ***** in that grey wall of armor and you're dead.
Coming back from drafting I watched a LOT of mini-block matches (dozens of them) and everybody who played in them was enjoying them. There weren't any shoulders slumped or heads in hands. There were orange cards, green cards, and blue cards. Being able to see it first hand gave me hope. Your failure to observe and compare the two formats belies your ignorance to what UFS is supposed to be. Remember that the design window for this game is 3-4-5 turns of play.
Financially, it may piss a bunch of people off. But it's suicide to let this block continue on its current course. Yes, I'm not able to play my 8 BRT (or my 12 Owlface that were banned Earlier, or my LoTM, or my Spikes or ANYTHING ELSE FROM THIS BLOCK), but I am able to return to playing the game I like playing instead of being frustrated for 50 minutes then reporting a game loss because the opponent killed me with foundations.
Please remember that a large portion of the block that is going out was largely a product of STG designs (therefore Freeman/Yaple). Hata only came in fairly recently and it has been revealed on these boards that he only got a quick redesign run at set 11 with Set 12 being his first official design.
The playtesters are/were volunteers and can't catch everything wrong with every set ever, and I've heard complaints that they were largely ignored by Freeman (which is how cards like Addes and BRT got through).
B-Rad, if you think you can do a better job, then volunteer to play test and do it. Other wise shut the hell up and get off my lawn.
ALLELUIA!
I remember not so long ago after i beat a new player face, he asked me to trade him LotM. I laughed then said "sadly they were box topper of sold-out sets." So he had to buy 4 boxes at 80$+ of a sold out set... he never came back...
WE switched to block 4 right after the pre-release of said block, because i made everyone realise during the matches " Hey everyone, look at your faces! you have fun! that's weird... do we really play UFS ? "
ARCH: he hit this **** right on the head, ufs is about orange cards, not grey cards. fighting games are not control **** fests, althought there is control in the fighting games, through footsies, ranges of moves etc.
think of it this way, ufs right now b/f mini block is like you are basically playing the game through the pause menu, and your foundations woo your opponents buttons/control set up so they can't block, play, move etc.
now it is just like the fighting games again, attack alot, pass. attack alot, pass.
play foundations for the first two turns then get the F in there.
i'd play this all day before i'd play pause menu fighter hyper mill edition vol 7.

Archimedes, I love you.
Hey now, woah now. Confessions of love won't let you into my pants.
I expect at least a dinner and a movie.
