Re: [s-d] Re: Card and Arena Play

Hmmm. Maybe repeal a set core of rules for a time period and then have a 
vote whether to reinstate them or continue with the new ones (holding the 
other rules until such a time as a majority decide that they aint going to 
be used anymore) ?

Just one suggestion that doesnt necessarily cause any dramatic changes.
