Well according to this poll here at the top; Sensei's Top, Gofy, and Counterbalance are more likely to see the ban hammer than Brainstorm.

This is why I never dove into Modern from the start, all my favorite decks/cards from the block they picked were banned.

Thopters, Dredge, Elfball, storm, among others.

Since then, I have kept...

Not quite Drago.

Modern isn't a mess because Wizards doesn't know how to handle an eternal format. It is a mess because it is a eternal format designed to cater to standard players.

Imagine...

I hate to agree with you Drago, but I believe you are right. Most people on this forum seems too blinded by their love for Legacy to realize this is what WotC is doing.


Also, Earthcraft on the...

I don't think they will ban bullshit posts from Drago.

Sorry to bring up the power level of Brainstorm to illustrate why Gush should never be unbanned.

Can't we just discuss something that we can all agree on now like the unbanning of Mind Twist.

There are a few people who believe Brainstorm should be banned in Legacy, but you think blue needs more card drawing in Legacy? Interesting.

As stupid as both of those cards are, neither are dominating. I believe either/or will be banned one day; however one or two more ridiculous card(s) need to be printed first.

I am glad the whole g/b combination got some competitive cards. It is a nice shake up in Legacy, out with Reanimator and in with BuG and Junkesque decks.

Everytime a new competitive deck or card...

Actually because the argument has already been done before, on this very thread.

Oh. I didn't notice.

My last post was somewhat misleading. I don't feel as if Show and Tell is banworthy at the moment. I do feel as if Show and Tell becoming banned is inevitable though.

I think there are some...

It wasn't so much an argument, but rather me trying to nudge you to think for yourself.

If one of these are banned which one of these has more raw power?

Survival of the Fittest is a one card...

Perhaps, but which one is banned in Legacy?

People seemed to have forgotten that Survival decks could easiily win without Vengevine. And they also ran Force of Will and Daze to combat Surgical Extraction(despite this not existing at the time....

I would like to see Mana Drain unbanned, barring a reprint to keep the price down. The only counter-argument I have heard for not unbanning Mana Drain is that it is a spell that could enable a turn...

If we are being over the top ridiculous, I forgot to mention Norin the Wary as well.
I was talking about playable creatures at the one mana slot.

I think black does need some super bad ass...

This is an excellent point as to why monoblack has declined.

Black used to have the only 2/2 creatures at one mana, with life loss draw backs. Then white got 2/1s and 2/2s with little to no...

Can we just make every November "Brainstorm Awareness Month"?

This way we can contain the ban Brainstorm discussion to one, expected, month every year.

What you are describing sounds sort of like another format I have heard of, but I forget which one.

What a silly argument that has developed in this thread.

Firstly, "graveyard strategies" generally use creatures with few exceptions like Yawgmoth's Will and Past in Flames.

Secondly, why all...

Vintage has it's pillars of the Power Nine, Workshop, and Bazaar. These three pillars separate Vintage from Legacy. There are other smaller differences like Will, Time Vault, etc., but the three...

@IBA: I don't think anyone is going to jump on the 'let's unban Mishra's Workshop bandwagon'.

You misunderstood me.

I am not saying Workshop should stay banned because it is a pillar of Vintage, but rather was saying I have seen the card in action. It does broken stuff, quickly. If it...

Anyone who has played half a game with or against vintage MUD realizes why Workshop doesn't need to be in Legacy. Quite the jump in power level there.

I do think Mana Drain would be...
