The forum post wasn't getting too much attention and consensus, no ? Maybe it's easier to wait for next season hoping to have more players and maybe more scenarios by then ?

If you want a truly balanced experience just have simultaneous turns with mirrored sides.

Let there be glory in playing out a lost position to its finest.

Like we have said before since Arena is a competitive format there should not be scenarios that can be won with having a certain card not giving the other player a chance, I have seen a player get 5 medals in one turn and win on the second turn
Thats why you will not see scenarios like that in tournaments.
You can play any scenario you want in Basic mode we are just asking to take the really bad scenarios out of the ARENA rotation

I think most agreed on several and if we had to pick say just 3 or 4 I think most could agree

Think most of us agreed on several.. If we had to choose just 4 I think most players would find that an acceptable number

But the definition of what a really bad scenario is was not agreed.

What you consider a really bad scenario may not be considered as such by other players.
