Creativity is it starting to return to the game?

First topic message reminder :

Soooooooo, Me and my friends were dueling last night. When my friend Travis said he was so glad to see original decks being played now. He said people were getting a lot more creative. As in they're playing more and more rogue decks and less and less meta? So Ill ask N.A is creativity starting to come back or is the game still as meta driven as previous formats?

Yeah to me I find them as a challenge for me to ether beat it or tie its capabilities or power.

David Sirlin, Playing to win,circa 2000 wrote:: The derogatory term “scrub” means several different things. One definition is someone (especially a game player) who is not good at something (especially a game). By this definition, we all start out as scrubs, and there is certainly no shame in that. I mean the term differently, though. A scrub is a player who is handicapped by self-imposed rules that the game knows nothing about. A scrub does not play to win.

Now, everyone begins as a poor player—it takes time to learn a game to get to a point where you know what you’re doing. There is the mistaken notion, though, that by merely continuing to play or “learn” the game, one can become a top player. In reality, the “scrub” has many more mental obstacles to overcome than anything actually going on during the game. The scrub has lost the game even before it starts. He’s lost the game even before deciding which game to play. His problem? He does not play to win.

Just another reason to look into the book, folks; the author actually knows what a scrub is.

I play to win, I said when everyone realizes its not always about winning, never that I do not play to win, but when I do try to win, I end up going overboard and banishing every card my opponent could possibly throw at me, and no I am not delusional.
