Hey @cardeegel this isn't annoying. I would say that you underestimate the complexity of the situaion, and its complicated because it needed to be complicated to solve the issues tackled and still pass. It didn't start out this way, it ended up this way through compromises. So moving pieces around will just lose votes.

You are welcome to put up a different proposal, and I'm sure if you get a reasonable amount of people that would pre-agree to your proposal (without large objections), then we can find a way to fund that proposal for you. I think you will find when you shop it around though, that you will lose votes very fast if it differs materially from what is presented here. But you can try.

To answer your questions, yes we do need CP and the conflict score to be different things. First this is an attempt at solving a problem with the conflicts, not anything else. There are people that don't want the Black Foils nerfed at all, so this is a compromise they accepted. You can try to nerf them further by reducing their CP, but I'm positive it will lose a lot of votes and won't pass.

There's many spots where CP is used, including the biggest one - burn value. On top of that like you said tournament calcs, plus the conflict score only applies to a temporary set of conflicts, it doesn't apply permanently like CP. We have never altered CP and therefore its the one that players rely on to give an underlying value to the card.

In my opinion, you and others that say this is complicated simply don't understand that the alternatives are:

1. vote for this proposal
2. find a better solution that will pass
3. do not have conflicts for the Mini-set

In my opinion, a vote against this proposal is likely going to lead to not having conflicts, which is fine if that's what the players want. Its possible that someone can come up with a better solution, but doing so will mean speaking to many players and finding out where they stand on the deal.

I have worked on this with Clay and we've been through the process, I'm confident that you will find that changing things will lose votes really quickly. That's my assessment, you can do your own of course.
