Tired of 1 day metas -> counter metas become the new meta -> 2 days later counter counter etc.

What if, there would be a real time turn based card selection before the ranked plays?
Real time team building and try to counter the enemy's hand by each turn of selection.
Maybe 1-2 cards to ban in the beginning.

Reason behind:
There is no room to modify your approach (180 degree) after you join into a ranked play with a certain deck.
You can get a full counter and there is a minimal chance to win with good augments and positioning.
But if u could build your deck as a part of the duel, in my opinion there could bring what we are missing at the moment.

I know it would longer the game loop drastically.

Feel free to comment.

interesting idea. i like the idea of a draft gamemode, where people create their decks on the go. this would be more similar to tft or battlegrounds for example.

i do think tho we should not change the pvp game design. the feeling of one meta dominating the leaderboards is stronger right now because we have such a small illuvial pool. once we have 150 illuvials to choose from, there will never be this triangle of 3 meta decks countering eachother but there will be dozens and it has proofen to work very well in similar game designs like hearthstone for example.

Could be an interesting idea for another type of pvp arena game mode - something for later down the development line. Could have a similiar bid system to legendary augments where you both get the same illuvial pool and you bid for the cards

Like a sideboard after you see the enemy deck?
