heist ruined this game completely

[tovie]

heist is just so dumb and overpowered. mix with that, that having the cards i chose to play with taken from me and played against before ive even touched them is just not fun. as someone else on this forum said before, i know my deck is good thats why i build it, now i dont want to face my own deck every game.

it's 1 mechanic out of over 100
kinda rare to see it at all outside standard format

blame the fact the majority of the cards i have are heist. started playing during OTJ, and this game sucks when it comes to getting other cards.

every fuc.king game round ... an enemy plays Gonzo or Avend or Getaway...

Don't play the artificially contrived Alchemy format, problem mostly goes away

I never see it. Maybe it's appropriate to the power level of your decks

Heist is a part of this game for ages, now they just made it cheaper and added more of it cause its fun to play for sociopaths and other people of this kind. That corporation has no idea how their own game works and how many sets is in standard, for exmaple they printed card with the same effect across all sets that will still be in play after current rotation. That is total insanity, and they do this for many cards. As for heist there Outrageous Robbery card that lets you steal X cards where X is the mana you want to pay - fun idea for a deck, just produce 60 or less mana and steal whole deck:P, there is also Decadent Dragon - steals 2 cards, and many other cards like that. That company is braindead and totally destroying this game.

The likelihood of someone getting 60 mana and clearing your deck is very unlikely.

Heist is a designed-for-digital, MTG Arena-specific keyword action introduced in Alchemy: Thunder Junction.[1] It allows players to steal a random nonland card from an opponent's library.

Heist only exists in fake formats that don't exist irl.. Play standard or explorer.

So stealing cards is good? It dosent have the keyword HEIST but its the same thing. Outrageous Robbery, Decadent Dragon, Rakdos, the Muscle are all standard cards that steal your cards, its the same ♥♥♥♥ without heist keyword on them, and I bet there is more cards like that.

Anything that exiles the top card is basically heisting but the only difference is it's usually for that turn instead of heist which is until player, or unless unexiled.

Decadent Dragon :Exile the top two cards of target opponent's library face down. You may look at and play those cards for as long as they remain exiled.
Outrageous Robbery: Target opponent exiles the top X cards of their library face down. You may look at and play those cards for as long as they remain exiled. If you cast a spell this way, you may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast it.
So yea heist is in this game for a while, now they just gave it a keyword.
Lets hope there will be no more cards of this type in future sets.

yep exactly. heist has been a thing for a while, they just gave it an actual name. Some heist cards, like Laughing Jasper Flint, only steals cards for one turn, instead of "as long as they remain exiled" which I found interesting. I was playing, and confused by why the cards went away after the turn. There's always gonna be a mechanic or deck people hate, and trust me I get it. Heist is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and that's why it's thankfully mostly in just alchemy. Still fun as hell to play.
