Oooh that’s weird! Thanks for the heads up

I strongly approve.
Read moreI think the Round Start could be more easier with two steps:
-No more Delayed - Board Effects being two different things. Because If P2 played last round a Sappling Toss, the P1 Ember Maiden always will kill the 2/1.
That's the whole point of why I need to make a big post with a lot of informations and examples besides just put "If you click End Round you're going to be the first to resolve your Round Start Effects".-Or keeping this way, but having more clarity about those rules.
The several issue I had is "how to determinate what matters and not matters" to Round Start. A lot of people made comments like "you can reduce this to a sentence" ignoring the fact that with no clue I start to guessing some bizarre stuff like cards in hand or even if having more units matter.
Once I "figure it out" the order is P1-P2 with who last click end round matters I was so relief. And then I played a Pick a Card and don't being P1 triggering the "delayed effect...
I think making this clearer to players is a good idea. This post was as useful to us on the dev team as it was to all the folks who chimed in!
You didn't come across as hostile at all! Your English is excellent, you say you don't speak it... but you sure do write it. And happy cake day! :)
Thanks for the research, DivinityOfPhilosophy!
u/RiotExis could the Player1/Player2 determination be simplified so the attacking player's effects resolve first? That would be much easier to remember (and explain) than basing it off who initiated the last action stack.
Sorry I'm so late replying! And my answer won't be very satisfying: I don't want to step on the design team's toes so I'll keep it general.
The responses to your comment do a pretty good job illustrating the tension around complexity! Sometimes more layers of deterministic (or narrowly probabilistic) complexity can add meaningful strategy, but sometimes it's overwhelming, or worse it's uninteresting. There's a balance to find where things are still straightforward for players to learn and retain (and evaluate in the moment).
The trickiest part is that everyone who responded to you is making good arguments... because the right balance is different for different players! It sounds like u/Lareyt is excited by the extra layers of decision making, while you and ...
