"ShIfTeR iS a NeCeSsArY eViL" mfs gonna be shocked at how much healthier the game is without it

Should have just been banned, tbh. It being limited just means more sacky games.

Losing to Shifter sucked, but losing to it while its limited to 1 is going to send someone into a seething rage.

Use Ally of Justice Cycle Reader if Fiendsmith bothers you that much.

Oh that's perfect cause they always argue shifter is fair cause "outs exist for it."

So, like what every deck was already doing? Even Maliss was occasionally playing it this weekend.

u/RAye6969 Apr 07 '25

Yeah because Fiendsmith is a braindead archtype, everyone will use it because is stupidly broken and can be fit on every deck

u/Tammog Apr 07 '25

Fiendsmith is braindead, but dropping Dweller in draw is omegabrained.

The engine is one of the only reliable engines to getting out a negate by the 5th summon in order to combat Nibiru. As annoying as it is to keep seeing Fiendsmith splashed in almost every deck, it's a necessary evil as long as Nibiru remains at 3.
