This caused the Overwatch to be made originally 30 years or so prior. The "bad" people in overwatch often refer to them as robots and junk, and obviously hanzo still has his sense of Human Life First, even if the common norm now is that Omnics and Humans lives together. It might be reading too much into it, especially with how little lore is out there. I have a link saved at home to a small wiki with it. I'll post it here when I get back to the house. Is Hanzo Japanese? Can see where this is going if so :> | ||

Oh I don't know. A older generation Japanese male that prides himself on ideas like honor that could be described as having Imperial bearing ,views a population as sub-human to justify the acts carried out on said population? Just feels familiar. It's like if they had a character that was a Dutch descendant on the tip of Africa that is part of a group that subjects the local population to years of brutality and injustice in order to retain power. Something about that just scratches at the back of the head and I can't figure out why. | ||

That's less time to play around with them, and whenever their draft formats are good it's going to feel extremely short. Can't help but feel bummed about that. That's not quite true if you figure the actual length of time, but even then, you can't tell me a set stays 'fresh' for that long anyway. SOI is fun and all but even I'm starting to bore of it slightly, and it's not July yet. Also I could've sworn the dates for the fall release set were already out well before this. | ||

I'm still not really a fan of the 4 sets per year cadence (since rotation then rotates 1/3 of the card pool every 6 months rather than 1/2 the card pool every year), but that's a separate issue. EDIT: Also Alaric, in practice 3x large set draft formats have historically tended to draft better than the 2x small 1x large draft formats anyway. So having that exist for longer is not necessarily a bad thing. | ||

I guess since I don't get to play constructed that much it helps? I need to go more "aggressively" for people's contact info post-draft when there's new people or others more around my skill level I guess. Looks like there are only a handful of people going for competitive standard decks, the rest are somewhat casual/draft-only/EDH players so I'll prob curate my BW control deck for whenever I can play it/reuse pieces along with future releases, but I doubt it fits in the local power level, too weak for modern players, too strong for most standard-casuals. Time to go for EDH and or build a janky briarbridge/journal combo deck and pretend I'm playing Nahiri I guess. | ||
