A lot of truth in your ramble <| sep |> yeah , maybe even more of monsters could farm depending on runes , i just wanted to say he alrdy have enough farmer but thx for the addition <| sep |> Oh this is such a void on how children see Santa . He ' s the dear old man who doesn ' t miss every little boy and girl ' s window to leave a present or some goodies . <| sep |> Banning pile shuffling all together seems like a bad move from WOTC perspective . It ' s a relic of casual players everywhere , and telling people to completely change their shuffling method , instead of minimizing it could only hurt new player conversion to sanctioned play . I think the current rule will help weed it out as fewer new players and fewer on camera players do it . Heck I ' m a loooonnnggg time mostly casualish FNM mostly player and I still always do one pile count per game . Mostly from habit but partially because I ' m terrible at handling cards and it ' s the easiest way for me to count without dropping flipping cards on accident . Just a counterpoint thought .
