I mean let's be real it's ponder and preordain, but those 2 as options are definitely a step down in terms of power more in line (and yet probably still better) with the rest of the format

Being an idealist isn't bad though. Especially in a world where legacy is pretty much dead at this point. I know many people are just over with what the format has become and moved on. And that's...
I came here to say this but I'm glad someone else beat me to it
It's kind of funny that the "Most Played Cards" section below those decks for whatever reason doesn't take into account companions
Plus at least for legacy you'd need to ban both Mishra and Urza's Bauble. And I mean c'mon. It's a fucking joke if you think those are the problem cards
I don't mean to splice up your entire quote, much of what I agree with, but I remember the same day of Breach being spoiled that there was talk of brainfreeze being a good kill condition with the...
I hate companions, I hate Planeswalkers. You've successfully described my personal hell
I don't mind a changing format. It's just not changing in a way that I like or think is good.
Or everyone can just quit because it's miserable.
This is actually one of my favorite source posts in a long time. I very much agree with all of this. Storm can be a fun match up even if I'm a non blue player because my SB decisions, and my first...
The difference is chalice requires real build arounds, has restrictions in deck building, and the best answer to chalice isn't more chalice. It can be warping in a way, but it's never enough % of...
Unless that card was aggressively costed or very color dependent it would just be absorbed by Xerox decks. At the end of the day the best thing to do in legacy will be to play 4x Brainstorm, 4x...
Thalia still seems fine imo (though maybe at this point at least being an X/2, maybe 3/1 could be reasonable). It would be tough I think to make a good white hate bear that is both powerful and...
I'd poop my pants from a walker ban. I would truly be happy to see a walker null rod (not one that is one sided and costs 6 Mana). Even if it's just an eternal only legal set I would love it
TO be fair to Pioneer, the format was created without a banlist basically so this could happen. I think they are being a bit too aggressive by banning multiple things at a time preemptively, but...
Whatever. We'll just keep banning things and wondering why the format can't correct itself when the answer has been apparent for years.
Sounds like we should just ban fucking Griselbrand to me
It's almost like brainstorm has always been the issue but it will never be touched and therefore in reality nothing will ever actually change
I look at it as more of that they understand more now how powerful cantrips are and are much more willing to nip them in the bud before it gets out of hand. This one also fixed Mana and added to...
I actually like that decks like that can exist somewhere. Those decks are actually interesting and produce some fun games. It's a lot more interesting than, Delver, flip attack for 3, waste you...
I like how the theory is that if Deathrite were legal more non blue DRS Wren decks would pop up than DRS Wren Blue decks. How many times do you need to lie to yourself that all these cards are...
I think almost everyone agrees with the bans and unbans in modern. Looting is the best draw spell/graveyard combo enabler in the format. Gaak is just fucking stupid. Stone forge I'm not sure will...
I think (perhaps falsely) that with GP ATL looming they didn't want to ban or unban anything in fear of people getting pissed for whatever reason and complaining or cancelling their GP trips
I don't think I knew anyone that thought Hogaak shouldn't have been banned. I think the people that played it were just like, yeah this deck is dumb as shit but I'll play it and win while it's legal
True about Stoneforge the card in standard was pretty busted, but I feel like good answers just didn't exist. Also the deck had Jace, ponder, leak, preordain, and spell pierce. Was pretty nuts
