    I'll agree that there are a whole lot of SFMs around these days... It's basically a better (but slower) Tarmogoyf that's in White. I'm not sure how much of a problem that is exactly, especially since...

    I mean, the meta sure seems reasonably healthy at the moment. It's true that True-Name Nemesis didn't implode the world. Decks like Jund seem to be popping back up. Like Zilla said, it still doesn't...

    Because a skill-intensive card that does nothing but improves the consistency of decks and allows for greater diversity in the format is public enemy number one.

    I was referring to 20 cards between Goblins and D&T, but I suppose it's more if you discount the cosmetic differences between Plains and Mountains.

    Soft counters are fine at forcing through spells/fetchlands against RUG. Counters are much worse against BUG since your hand is under constant threat.
