Me too man. I never got good at it either, it felt pretty random to me the few times I played. Maybe it would be good if you spent time building decks, but I don’t care enough to do that.

Overall it’s just an annoyance that’s forced on you two or three times.

They play wrong.

I feel that. A few times I had to stop the stream and play the game better myself.

It’s a private MEV mempool

Are you sure there is such a thing? My understanding was that they just submit their sandwich transactions to the mempool with higher and lower gas respectively to achieve their desired priority ranking. Could be wrong though.

by fraudulently gaining access to pending transactions

That makes no sense to me. The mempool is public, everyone can see pending transactions.
