I feel you. Had that in the TCG, first with Infernitys then with RaidRaptors. Suddenly everyone hyped the deck and was an expert because they played the deck for "such a long time" and you just copied them of course...
Yeah I know and that's what bothered me back then. Unnecessary hype for my T2/T3 deck :(
Although I defeated some nekroz and shaddolls during their prime time with RR(built the deck when sharp and mimicry lanius came out in the TCG)
