Field in standard
Astrolabe in pauper

Not shocked.

As I said, the issue is not the power as a Shatterstorm will do massive harm to the deck, the issue is the time it can take to win.

If Field of Ruin was still legal do you think that would be making a difference?

Standard I can not comment about, but I was talking to someone who does play Standard and he did bitch about Field. I asked why Ruin was not used against it, told it rotated out. Great. They had an...

Steely Resolve is so fucking good fight now. As is Pithing Needle. I don't love the match but I'm not going on without a plan. Oh and helpfully, Gaak and Lage are Avatar's.

It's not Thopter Sword at all. That combo is losing favour for Paradoxical Outcome. Sometimes used with Jeskai Ascendancy and Emry. Sometimes without the Ascendancy.

Outcome, Urza, a token...

Takes it from 7 Moxen to 4. I'm not sure that's good enough to change anything. No, I think Urza is the issue.

I have been watching vids of the Uzra deck, the Paradoxical one. While I do believe that no changes will be made this cycle the playstyle of the deck will force intervention soon. Even if it comes up...

Nope, I'm saying that since the best deck in the format is moving towards having Crop Rotation and Karakas, Depths is looking like it's going to have a harder time steamrolling events unaposed.
...

No, you are objectively wrong. porcupinetreeman has shown us all the error of our ways and the card MUST BE BANNED FOR THE GOOD OF ALL THAT IS HOLY. Until you know, next month when it gets pushed out...

Oh no, I quoted you perfectly. Your out of your dam tree on Depths.

In other news, there is no world where banning Hymn and leaving DRS in the format was going to solve anything. And I say this as...

So the card is doing really well in the format and it's beating up on Wrenn. I am going to go with a solid no on this foolish idea. Or, to quote someone better than I at this:

As someone who has spent the last two weeks playing Hogaak Depths, I am willing to state with compleand total certainty that Faithless has played no part in my broken Hogaak plays.

As someone who...

It they are all silent, how do you know?

Meh. Just ban TNN and then do nothing for 24 months.

I think with the new rule, an argument can be made that some stripe of Hex Depths might be the best deck in the format right now.

Na man, my spelling is miles worse, I just thought it too funny to leave on the floor.

Persephone was banned?

I was thinking about this. Brainstorm and Legacy. Now while I know that the idea here is that shit needs somewhere to live. Transgressive cards, blah blah. I do not think Brainstorm will get banned...

It would be a rather odd UG Combo Tempo deck. I don't think it would be a lot of fun to play against consistency but I think it would be cool to see now and again.

That's said, a top tier deck...

I am just going to cover this, as this is the part I was making a point around. The opportunity cost of playing one card over the cost of playing a deck built around one card is very very different....

Thats a card that was banned because of its effects when paired with Jewellery. Seeing as thats never been an issue in Legacy... Quaint.

Is there really? If your in the wrong colours your answers are really really limited. Red and Green have very few outs, white has a few dedicated ones. So if your in Black or Blue your ok? Thats not...

I disagree. One of the cards is a three drop that asks little of the player other than be in Blue and want creatures, the other asks you to build your whole shell around the card and then take...

Oh I am aware that the card is not egregious enough on its own to eat a ban and likely never will. That does not mean I do not think it should be legal to play against. Cards have eaten bans in the...
