[[The Fantasticar]] is a Fantastic Four themed card. It's a 4/4 vehicle, it cares about the fourth non creature spell you cast in a turn. Then it turns into four tokens that are 4/4s each. And they made that card cost three fucking mana? Are you serious?

I really don't get it. Did they really have to push a commander precon card and butcher the flavour like that? And break legacy and vintage in the process?

[[Grislebrand]] is famously a 7/7 that lets you pay 7 life to draw 7 cards and costs eight mana, hence me calling it the Griselbrand problem.

I remember a Lexiav clip from one his homm3 games. He was playing Rampart, and he does I think a Dwarven Treasury. Enters it, the autocombat loses like 4 dwarves, he declines to do the combat manually, casts mass slow and let's autocombat finish it and the autocombat loses like 3 Grand Elves or something. Was super funny lol. Does anyone know where it is?

So I've been looking at some of the streamers play. The template where you never physically meet and the game instead forces a battle every X days is very interesting. And it got me thinking that this... doesn't have to even be 1v1, right?

You could literally just let people play their days on their own generated map. And only when it's time for a final battle you would get matched up against another player who is also on the same day as you and a similar rank. You could do a system similar to autobattlers, you play until you lose X or win Y pvp fights. Then based on how well you do you rank up or down etc.

This could help with the biggest problem of homm pvp games, the matches are L O N G (and the length of a match varies a ton). For busy gamers, being able to split it up would be massive! I have a kid now, playing multiplayer is a real longshot for me. But with this I could just play out a day here and there and it's fine.

Obviously you lose some tactical stuff like the timer (you could even keep the timer in the mode), you're not doing the battles against the same guy, etc. But I think the benefits are plenty.

PS: I posted this in suggestions in the Discord, reposting this here to get a conversation going maybe.
