i think you mean every single creature that didn't have a come into play effect, and some that did. also every useful artifact that didn't end the game on the spot.

it really depends on how people want to innovate with the format. there are definitely some strong cards and you can even say optimal cards for each given archetype. it is possible that many...

i'd wait 6 months. much easier to do so given all the virus stuff.

watching all of this stuff on modo, some brews look very fun, but at the same time it's clear that these 4/5 cards shouldn't be...

sounds like a great card for delver tbh.

There's two kinds of zoo decks historically.

1) more of a burn deck. Uses additional bolts, grim lavamancer, sometimes price of progress and even fireblast.

2)big zoo, which uses higher cc...

This is zoo with an upgraded nacatl (the elf). There's no Thalia, no kotr, no mother of runes. It's pretty far from Maverick. This has hierarchs and gsz. That doesn't mean Maverick just bc it's...

Given Urza's Saga and the related banning that the block brought for magic (academy, windfall, spiral, jar etc.) , it's only appropriate that urza is also banned.

there's some validity to the points, but it's not really a discussion worth having.

DRS would just make this format more of what it already is.

Do you really believe that the decks running w&6 wouldn't also run DRS? The format would be a no brainer 1 deck format.

not sure if that's serious or not. GGT was way too busted for dredge. dredge also hasn't played bridge in a while in modern. deck is really stable without it. i really like the deck.

i'd probably go with some mox diamond build with wren and six. this lets you cast a turn 1 druid with potential force backup. would be 4 colors, but in a deck that doesn't play basics i don't think...

bolas's citadel

I think he means the ability to mull better into LED + echo hands for consistency.

the main issue with deathrite was giving black and blue decks ability to get 3 mana on turn 2 consistently without playing with green cards like birds of paradise or noble hierarch. hymn and other...

Top unfortunately makes a pretty great combo with bolas' citadel.

Adds nothing favorable for the format as a whole. Maybe the cloud vine deck would get a new toy, that would be the only positive for me.

i played academy and dream halls when it was in standard. high tide in extended was the last time i played with time spiral + frantic search. (this was in 1998 or 1999, can't recall exactly.) the...

candelabra doesn't draw 2 cards.

i think frantic search should stay banned. it would empower reset high tide and more importantly spiral tide, and that doesn't improve the format.

something like t3 high tide, frantic search ->...

I think everyone has played games vs the cantrip decks where they had to mull to 5 with a cantrip and lost. This just helps those hands as well since they can keep a 2 land hand where before they...

a busted green creature for me would be something like

G

X/X where X is the number of forest lands you control. creature may fight with another creature when it enters. if it's "too good"...

the only deck as good as miracles with top was probably necro donate in old extended. glad to see it gone!

can i just say i'm super happy probe is banned after seeing all these phoenix decks get attention?

I think it's hard to say that something like cantrips are objectively better than other strategies is an opinion.

I also feel like every time Talpa wants to make an argument, he's making them very...
