Having fun is entirely subjective and implying optimization isn't/can't be fun is disingenuous at best
Absolutely nothing is wrong with optimization...but when that completely strips away another fun aspect of something. Maybe we need to find a middle ground with it. As it is very clear that many people are not happy with the card system that replaced the old. Something else could have been done instead of making it which color of balance do you want.
