I am totally with you there. I thought(and still think to some extent) that it was kinda lame for them to attempt to dumb down the game. I understand wanting to make it more approachable but i enjoy my complexity and i believe that the tournament players are the ones that spend the most time and money and should also be included. That being said i ultimately dont think the game was simplified all that much. We lost some combat tricks but nothing too staggering. I think that they did a good job of taking away things such as the combat stack and improving on other aspects like lifelink and deathtouch. I honestly care more about those positive changes than i do about the sacrificing one. Also many of the changes to make the game more approachable were the term changes which is fine cause, hey im not forced to use them.
