So it's 2016! I've got some ideas and suggestions and thoughts for lists this year. Of course everything here is at best just a suggestion, as Qvist does all the work (thank you!) but I'm bored and want to share some thoughts.
This year's list situation is similar to last year's - a new expansion has been out for a whole summer, but isn't out online yet and won't be this calendar year. Additionally we have gotten a lot more experience with the previous expansion since the last lists came out! Would it be valuable to make a list of our impressions of the cards before the game comes out online? I sure think so.
Especially because, we will never have a gap between online and offline releases again! Stef and SCSN "will never be late with an expansion". So it would be cool to get one last snapshot of this gap in our stats, so we should do one in 2016.
I'd also be for starting the lists a wee bit earlier next year, because, and this is pure speculation, if a new expansion comes out in 2017, at around the same time of year Adventures and Empires did, we'll have a few months of experience with it online by this time next year. I find value in getting a list done before we are all experts on the new cards, and I think others do too, so in order to do this with actually timely online releases lists would get started sooner after their release than we otherwise do.
This is rambley and doesn't make much sense, I know. Just throwing things out there.
