I thought Jack topped often prior to TKs. Ah well. I don’t exactly research early meta lol. But I do agree that the major power creep started with Exec. Any major creep prior to that was usually kept in check by either a card or a worthwhile strategy (like Kaizerion being checked by Barbed Wire). I do think the “nail in the coffin” (so to speak) was the introduction of Over skills. Too few decks got them and it’s still kind of the case. It’s hard to power creep those.
