In Legacy/Vintage. None of our decks need 8 card hands and with a flash back commander and the mulligan rule the micro game of being on the play.

Just feel like it removes games further from...

Nope, it's not my worst nightmare it is one possibility that "I don't like the idea of."

But yes turn 1 Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas is clearly good too. I would imagine said UB Academy powered...

Affinity would certainly utilize Academy. I don't know that it catapults it a dangerous level, but I don't like the idea of turn 1: Memnite/Ornithopter x2, Mox Opal, Signal Pest, Tolarian Academy,...

I don't disagree with you. I also don't see running Faith's Shield as making Death and Taxes any more playable. I'm fine with it being a poor meta choice in a meta saturated with BGx and have...

I think maybe the point that's being made is that it's very challenging to rely on synergy between 2 or more cmc <=3 permanents in a format full of Abrupt Decay. This seems supported by what...

While I agree the card is great. I will even give it that it's format-warping, top 8 evidence is showing it to be beatable, apparently by a plethora of decks because...

Usually those more...

Mind Twist does not seem overpowered in this format. I could see it finding a niche, but in general pointed discard (TS, IoK, Duress, CT) and Hymn seem like they fill most decks need for discard,...

I could see the argument that it overshadows other agro decks, but I don't like the idea of where that would leave the format if DCI were to take action against Green Sun's Zenith.

Maverick has...
