Metagaming ruined my country.

When I was 15 and Magic: The Gathering was new, we had a lot of fun. We'd build decks with all our cards, 100, 200, sometimes more. Every game was different, exciting, and new. Then somebody read how you're deck would be more effective if it was smaller. In an eyeblink, we were all cutting our decks down as small as we could get. It was an arms race. We even read about deck designs that made it possible to win on the very first turn. The fun was gone. Whoever could find the most abusive way to use cards in ways totally unintended by the creators of the game would cackle with glee as they repeatedly won. Until somebody found an even more abusive way to counter them.

Now... it's not a game, it's my country, and Karl Rove is the snotty kid down the block with the Black Lotus and everything else he needs for a first turn win.

Call the company. Get that card banned.
