You didn't address his point. D&T gets Wrathed by KReturn but other decks don't.

The fact is is that Maverick, DGA, Zombardment, and other decks all can handle regular wraths.
- Mav via Teeg and...

First, KReturn is the likely next sweeper because it's instant; making it cost 4 at most with Thalia on the field.
Second, Mav locks out Verdict with Safekeeper or Mom next to Teeg. Miracles...

(premise 1)
Well, and I don't see why this would still make D&T better than Maverick. Maverick, historically, rolls D&T since it has main-decked artifact-hate; meaning it gets to use its equips and...

First, you've changed your argument from "UW would go away" to "Grixis would take over"; neither of which are true. UW would stick around in stoneblade; Grixis *does* have bad MUs. You may even see...

Are you seriously suggesting that Miracles is what's keeping D&T from being a larger portion of the meta? When D&T was at its zenith, it was tied for when Jund was at its zenith. While the format was...

It's also notable that Probe was most used in Combo and DRS was most used in "Fair"; hitting both sides slowed both sides down. Combo has to go off in the dark or with protection more often, while...

I may be a week late but..
The absolute madmen!

This is interesting as I literally entered legacy right around when DRS was printed, so I've never been in a format where it wasn't the best T1...

On the Jund Junk thing; it's really just a problem of Force. Force of Black n Green isn't a thing and it won't be; as will any on-the-stack-interesting-spell.

To make it properly competitive we...

They are valuable when speaking in generalities like "Your deck will lose to all Unfair decks." Why? Because it's a way of saying "you have too much aggro/removal and no reliable interaction."

In...

Indeed, I've seen newbie storm players and newbie Miracles players who just picked up the deck blow out a tournament.
I believe there's some number of RUG Delver guys who have blown out SCGs right...

Honestly, I think the format is very accessible..

For badlands, plateau, taiga, and scrubland.

Honestly, if WotC made a couple WR,, BR, WG, and WB powerhouses you could get a player-boost a la...

I think he's saying it displays a card's power level when it's the capstone to 4+ deck archtypes (Painter, 12-Post, Miracles, DDFT) and that them all falling into relative obscurity after it's ban...

Things I find odd:
* "Don't bring your opinion in here, this is fact based !1!!"
-> This is literally an opinion thread. It's a thread specifically for people to vent their frustrations with...

Probe being banned would basically (probably) swap Grixis Delver for BUG Delver, Grixis Control for BUG Control (.. maybe*) and.. that's about it.

The main thing about Probe is that it makes the...

oh Dice... what happened to your scruples?!

If you put his pet deck in the DTB you have to everyone's decks into DTB.

I would hate to dig through years of Rosewater's blogs, but I mentioned in "Current State of Magic" that the answer I got from Rosewater himself when I queried on Mind Twist (because even years ago...

I think Ponder is way more consistent than Brainstorm. If you don't have a pair of lands in your opener, Brainstorm almost requires a mulligan or brass balls to hope your draw + BS doesn't brainlock...

If I was to whine in here, it'd be GProbe. I can't say it's OP or over-used in general, but you'll be hard pressed to make it through an MTGO match without being Probed T0. Very annoying for people...

I could be wrong, but I think Show and Tell has a good Storm MU; since it can end the game T2/T3 pretty easily, but packs reasonable countermagic. It's sideboard can also spell doom, between Blasts,...

Maybe it's the gin and tonic laughing, but I got a good crack out of this

Agreed, but that's not a typical meta IME. Most are 25-35% combo or so, in which case Force often becomes the best (maindeck) card you can get, especially in turns 1 and 2. Any ultra-fair meta will...

I really think Ponder is fine now. A lot of lists are foregoing ponder (not delver) in order to have a more diverse mainboard or just not get stuck with it in hand when our Leord and master hit the...

Probe's fine imo. I think it may actually make Storm worse a lot of the time, just because a Therapy already hits 100% of what you care about usually. It could reduce consistency since it's a "blank"...

Sort of. While you can average the manacost of Storm and get something like .75 life per card; YawgBarg gives you the ability to unrestrict the mana cost of cards again. You can just run 3 and not be...

Not to mention that it's card disadvantage. Delver can deal with 1-for-1's and try to get you early, and run some 1-for-2s; but I don't think any delver player voluntarily does a 1-for-0 except...
