Playing more than sixty cards
General forum

Is there any value in playing more than sixty cards in constructed formats? Other than cards that specifically care about having more cards in your deck, like Battle of Wits or Yorion, Sky Nomad or combatting a mill deck? The reason I ask this question is because I see people playing about seventy cards or more on arena.
wallisface do you know any examples of situations where there is a mathy reason to play more than sixty?

They’re extremely niche - i remember hearing of them but I can’t recall any of them sorry.
I don’t think there are any current-day reasons.

There’s no real competitive reason, and the people you’re seeing doing this on arena are just evidently bad at deckbuilding.
There is very very rarely some mathy reasons to maybe justify 61-62 cards… but even this application is incredibly narrow and the vast majority of people doing this are just illustrating to the world that they’re too lazy/inept to make a cut down to 60 cards.
