[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 4454044, member: 51325"] Er, the reason why I say 3E is CONSTRUCTED and 4E is LIMITED isn't because of the exception based design (which applies to BOTH Constructed and Limited) It refers to how they play.... Constructed, is all about the build. You start off with almost limitless choices but you quickly realize many choices are sub-optimal and when it comes to the actual GAME itself, what determines victory isn't how well you actually play the game but how well you BUILT the deck and understand the metagame. Limited starts off with a much restricted pool of choices. However, in actual games, one actually has to have SKILL in playing magic to win. That's why I consider 3E Constructed and 4E Limited. As for the "it was better back in the day" Please, do I even NEED to remind people of the munchkinism that is the Complete Book of Elves. In the entire history of 3E and the short time of 4e, there has NEVER been a TSR/WOTC product that was SO obviously pandering to the munckins that I find any criticism of "3e and 4e are too build focused" a complete lark.
