All,
My desire to have all fetch lands banned remains. That is all.
-Peace
Balance is one of the few cards that can rival the power 9 in terms of raw strength. This would be a patently bad idea. If you think the card is for creatures, I think you missed why the card is...
All,
I played Dreadstill back when that was a thing in the first Chicago Legacy GP, which at the time was a gigantic tournament. I believe that was near the end for Mystical tutor in Legacy. Top...
So, I think fetchlands getting banned in Legacy has quite a few upsides.
1. Modern and Legacy would have better identities if fetches were banned in Legacy. You can play fetches in Modern, you...
Sign me up! I want this so much. I hate to lose money on cards, I really do. But I am so over fetch lands. They have pretty much ruined competitive Magic for me.
End personal opinion rant.
Fixed that for you. Banning fetches would be a big change, but lets not get out of hand here.
Bigger changes that occurred after the creation of formats are:
Requiring sleeves
Mythic...
I choose misty rainforest, seriously.
These are the changes that I am looking for, but they are likely the changes that only I am looking for. I will give you that.
For what it is worth, almost every deck would have similar needs for...
I wouldn't say that Wasteland and Blood Moon would become incredibly oppressive, I would say that they would help reshape the balance between using more colors or not. Currently there is no...
I agree with your analysis, but not the conclusion. Colored mana requirements are supposed to be a restriction. Fetchlands pretty much nullified it, in my opinion. The only thing that people are...
I have said it several times for several years, but I think that fetchlands should go.
The only reason I am bringing it up again is because they have a very positive synergy with the current topic...
I almost got confused and wanted to vote for Patrick J. Buchanan, but I found my center and decided to return the vote to Wizards.

I am happy that you are confident in your proposal. However, these are my questions to you.
It appears like your proposal is not well thought out, it is more of a general idea. I don't expect an...
I completely agree. If players had this kind of control, it would be a complete unmitigated disaster.
Although there have obviously been both design mistakes and inappropriate banning/unbanning...
I agree with your post. Especially the part about terrifying short-sighted pack animals. That is the nature of teen and twenties men with something to prove, a bit of money, and an affinity for...
A large reason of why it was $20 dollars for quite some time is because people were speculating that it could be unbanned in modern. It has some playability in legacy because in legacy you can play...
Price spikes are silly for the unbanned cards. They make no sense. Ancestral visions will not make a winning deck unless better cascade cards are printed. This is how value is destroyed. People...
I agree that it is a long shot, but one thing I have found to be pretty true about the changes is that they aren't timely and don't always make sense. A ban of brainstorm, although well earned,...
Most likely is always no changes.
If there are changes, I would guess
Urban Earthcraft
Ban Brainstorm
Changes I would like to see
The miracle of technology allows us to program reminders into our phones easily enough. I got the reminder and created the post this morning. I was not holding a grudge or anything, but I did...
On April 17th of this year, I had come to an impass on a discussion of the viability and banworthyness of a card that was only spoiled at the time. I offered a pretty big bet, which was refused. In...
My best guess is:
No changes in standard
No changes in Legacy
My hope is:
No changes in standard
Brainstorm banned in Legacy.
My fear is:
I can see you are not interested in my offer, which was and remains sincere. Either way, I will post that I was right on October 17th.
I have no more to say on this issue
We can arrange it with a trusted third party somewhere else, PM me if you are willing.
I have made my case. You disagree. You have made your case. I diagree. There is nothing more to do than...
