It's all good. This thread is a guilty pleasure.

You know, with all that experience I am sure you can see that High Tide players would LOVE to have Frantic Search.

In probably 1998 I played it...

I suppose that is aimed at me. I am not interested in getting into a debate with you. I would just say that you need to actually play High Tide a bit before making such passionate claims.

Kanti, use "[.q.u.o.t.e.]" to begin. Use "[./.q.u.o.t.e.]" to end. (Don't include the periods. :tongue:)

Frantic Search may have some value in Show and Tell decks. But its real value is as a...

Hanni, I think there is an argument to be made that banning fetchlands allows the unban of some interesting cards. It’s not really a solved issue.

And just so we are clear. That is a good result. More colors comes at a price.

I think that if fetch lands do get banned, it would shake up the format so fundamentally that all bets would be off. I really feel that it would be like 2005 all over again. And let me tell you. ...

Lemnear, I am really coming around to your point of view on this. This most recent banning drives this point home even more. I am reiterating here...Without fetchies, Brainstorm would also be a...

It may end up being the best combination of colors. But this ban pretty well kneecaps it. The deck is going to have to actually work to get its mana base correct. Three colors and Wasteland is not...

Is there anyone who has a defensible reason why he objects to this ban?

Just interested.

Not hate cards. Cards that don't play well with cantrips.

Kinda, don't take it personally. Ban discussions are routinely nasty, ill-informed, and fruitless. Experience has taught us all to keep the awful in a single, quarantined basket. Box was just...

I was just reading Cedric Phillips’ comments in the state of magic thread. What struck me was the bit about too much shuffling to cover Legacy. Considering how helpful it was when scg hosted Legacy...

This seems to me to be an ideal situation for Legacy. I'm not advocating anything, mind you. But if duals (or fetchies or both) are gone, you get Legacy all of the sudden become a showcase for all...

Sometimes I just don't care about whether I agree with Dice_Box. I like the way he says it.

Seth, on this site, possibly this thread, a few years ago I asked the Miracles players to weigh in on an extended conversation about what Miracles would look like without Brainstorm. In a strange...

While the conversation in this forum in particular tends to be circular (due almost entirely to transient Magic players with outsized opinions), I feel the the extended conversation is largely...

I think Phoenix Ignition called you out on this one, Lemnear. Call the spade what it is. With the exception of the original Sligh deck from 1996, pretty much every aggro ("fair"?) deck has had some...

I have been rolling this around in my head for a bit, and dice_box's update (as well as the dialog in here) really has me thinking. Perception appears to be the rub of it all. Lemme get an...

Yeah, my question really was sincere. The ensuing specifics have filled me in, but I had not been aware of the acute annoyance with DRS. DnT players tend to face all of the cantrip decks in a very...

Crimhead, you really do not want to start with me.

I’m going to hate myself for this in the morning, but I have to know...don’t all of these DRS decks also play Brainstorm, and then lots of other decks also play Brainstorm too? No judgments here...

Honestly, you could have stopped there. Only in Legacy is such a manabase even imaginable.

Dice_Box, don’t lose track of your magic buddies as you fade from tournament play. There are others who feel as you do. But I just don’t think what drew you to this game will ever go away, and...
