In the new Archenemy format players take their turn together, so how goad works? Can they attack each other? Or their creature are forced to attack the archenemy?

Which damage gets prevented?

So in a game of @[email protected] the other day, my enemy attacked with Mons's Goblin Raiders and Ghyrson. Which would normally deal four damage total then two more from Ghyrson. But I had played a Bandage, preventing "the next" damage. If that next damage is the one from the Goblins, I don't get the extra Ghyrson damage, so that's why it matters.

There was no first strike in this particular situation.

You've probably heard loudmouth streamers (like myself) espousing that Standard is healthy and in a good place right now. But what does that mean? Those exact same streamers will load up the ladder and immediately complain about specific cards they see (yep, still me). Is the format being healthy not synonymous with the players enjoying themselves? Surely that doesn't make any sense.

So how can these two contradictions exist so passionately, sometimes even within one individual?
