    The problem with Brainstorm isn't that you draw 3 cards, but that you can access to up to three cards from the future, so if you have brainstorm in hand is equivalent to begin the game with a "10...

    Red has a lot of cards that hate on blue, maybe it would be a good start to play them.

    I was told by Aaron Forsythe on twitter that the criteria for bannings is when people stop playing the game. Bannings happen due to disinterest in a format. Having only one deck making Top 8s isn't...

    It's quite ironic that you say so, when Tinker requires two cards as well, and has to actually cast the two in order to win. :rolleyes:

    The problem isn't in the effect, but in the cost. An appropiately costed brainstorm wouldn't see play simple because then it would be a fair card.

    It would have sufficed to say "It's better than vampiric tutor in the decks that run it".

    Entomb is a tutor and it got unbanned. So clearly that wasn't the sole reason. Maybe it had to do with the fact that you only had to cast that single spell to win, and it was very easy to find ways...

    Actually, he didn't say it was the red miracle. He said it was a nonblue miracle. There are a lot of reasons to believe it was reforge the souls, but he didn't specifically stated so.

    Temporal Mastery is only marginally better than Time Walk in that it can't be countered with Spell Snare. Even if you get to play it at instant speed with Sensei's Divining Top, you don't get any...

    The problem is not as much Temporal Mastery as all the other blue cards that place blue on top. Accelerating blue tempo one extra turn is always a bad idea, haven't we learned the lesson from Mental...

    I think that Time Walk is pretty busted, but so are many mistakes that WotC has printed in the latter blocks and that has refused to ban. I think this card would deserve one, but I feel the red wheel...

    Do you think a person with a decklist able to rape a legacy tournament is going to post it here for all people to see just so you can say if you agree with the card being too good or not?

    It isn't totally fair to call these old discussions absurd. WotC has since then printed a lot of answers to these cards that weren't available at the time, which have weakened their effect on the...

    Yes, people don't consider a deck that splashes misstep a "blue" deck, and want to take that out of the equation.

    It would have been more useful the lists that run at least 1% white, 1% blue, but not tundra, to account for the missteps.
