    I play hermit druid in EDH, and I can tell you that it is pretty broken. The deck is able to fight off three other decks and come out the victor within the first few turns on a consistent basis....

    to be fair tho, black doesnt get a 5/5 for 1 mana. Its only 1 mana on like turn 3-5? Thats far less threatening. Whether it cost 1 or 4 tapping out to cast it on turn 3-5 doesnt make much of a...

    1. Yes it generally is. It is one of Wizards criteria for justifying a card ban. Consider mental misstep. You can also look at Vintage. The power level of old cards vs new cards means that fewer...

    the obvious result that would occur is that people wouldnt play 3 color decks because you would sacrifice too much consistency. Even with shock lands its still not a great option.
