I'm disapointed, this thread diverged from its purpose. Why isn't people discussing how Brainstorm is what makes miracles good, instead of talking about SdT?

I don't even know if I'm joking, since...

Also, top is the top of the poll in the top of this page. (sorry)

I thought Yawgmoth's Win was vintage's best card... I'm confused now.

Not true. Library isn't as much played as Brainstorm just because it doesn't have Awesome (This card has :u: symbols and can be pitched for FoW.)

EDIT: Despite the Troll, if you think about it, if...

I fully agree with this, Sylvan Library is soooo criminally underplayed...

Not really, it happens all the time against Dredge and their 3 sided Extractions. All of them seem to have around 2 or 3 extractions in their opening hand.

Yeah, considering that Maverick had 12 months of top placing before that, guess we are fine...

I see, so you think a deck is bad because it's not as played. Ok, that's your opinion, tho, and I don't agree. With that mindset, Candelabra High Tide is terrible.
And there won't be any innovative...

That was not the first list I've seen, and TBH I just opened AdN Storm at TC Decks and one of the first was it already. I've seen at least 2 reports here @TS as well with it. I think PiF is exactly...

Yeah, the exception you said that didn't exist in your example. Nice example.

Hmmm... there are Past in Flames oriented decks, and although TC decks and SCG fail to name them, I believe they are called Grinding Station and they look like this:
...

And how many Legacy GPs were there already?

Even after the hype and all, I'd still go for ban Brainstorm in this format. Even tho I don't think Brainstorm will be banned in a near future in legacy, unless someone break the existing combos...

Fuck, does that mean the world is going to end Dec 2012? :cry:

But btw, you were talking about Legacy by that time =P


I like that they went slow with Legacy, and it was my bet that there...

This is true, but there's this thing the players consider when adding a hate card to their decks, which is how useful it will be if it can't do what they are supposed to. The only exception seems to...

Or sacrifice if doesn't control basic land type X, or a number of basic lands type X, or only basic lands X during upkeep or etc etc etc...

There are endless ways, but they keep printing...

I think they are trying... they made MM and failed, and they've done a few things like Ethersworn, Gaddock and even Guttural Response, mana thite, among other hates... They will get there eventually

Really, perfect reasoning, and the format already looks more diverse. Goblins, Combos, CB+Top... good stuff, good stuff ^^

Announcement is for weaks, someone @ salvation rumor mill might find the post before it goes up, as happened to SotF

I'd use this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_dominance

I disagree with one thing here: Even without Brainstorm in the format, blue would still be the most played color because FoW is the best catch all solution. The single only other color with similar...

This is clearly not the case, but you can believe in whatever you want.

In a sports comparison, you can have a tourney where Barcelona fights Real Madrid to see which is the first, and all the...

This is convenient, the DTB math is made up so that there are 5~10 DTBs, how is this an indicator?

I think I'll stop reading in this point

Otoh, some people fail to understand why some cards are more powerful than other, and how most of the arguments used in favor of not banning a card can also...

We don't even have to go that far, 5 out of 8 DTB here uses MM maindeck, and the other 3 are Maverick, Junk and Zoo, that sometimes do so as well...

It kinda sux when every deck you start looks...
