Brainstorm as a 4-of is okay in Legacy and not in Vintage, because in Vintage, the cards you are drawing are more powerful. The same isn't true for Workshop - the most stupid card you would be...

You just mentioned four.

This would be awesome, if there also was some kind of a reward for being correct. Otherwise, this rule would probably kill the discussion after the most active people already had their first warnings.

The following is a conclusion drawn from recent discussion in The Source's Format & Article Discussion forum: Nobody's complaining about Time Spiral and Entomb because they are being ran in decks...

If they printed it, they wouldn't ban it.

Why would you do that?

If the card isn't doing anything bad for the health of Legacy metagame, why ban it? Legacy ban list isn't a list of powerful cards, it's a list of cards that are bad for the...

Reanimator is not the deck you would play Yawgmoth's Bargain in anyway (I think so - I'm not a Reanimator player so I'm not sure). In a storm combo kind of deck, nobody's going to play Entombs and...

It is indeed much more castable. For combo decks, the difference between 4 and 5 isn't big, but the difference between 5 and 6 is already worth noting. The difference between 6 and 8 is enormous. The...

I'm not convinced on the Recruiter unbanning being safe. Mind Twist and Earthcraft wouldn't cause a deck do anything that's not already done better by an existing deck as far as I understand though,...

Sure. Brainstorm isn't too powerful. All it does is manipulate the order of the cards in your hand and the top three cards of your library.

Blood Moon doesn't actually make the nonbasic lands basic, they just become nonbasic mountains.

So what? It's a strategy game, you aren't supposed to win if your strategy is bad. Also, this might be worth reading: http://www.sirlin.net/articles/playing-to-win-part-1.html

This argument is ridiculous. How does filming matches make any difference to the power level of the cards the winning player uses?

More like, dumb cards let dumb players think they can win, but the dumb players end up losing anyway.

The DCI don't care about the prices of the cards.

To those who were discussing the unbanning of Vampiric Tutor: why not discuss unbanning Imperial Seal instead? It's still probably too powerful, but at least it's way safer than Vampiric.

My edicts were mostly instant-speed, except for Gatekeeper.

Show and Tell lets you drop an uncounterable answer for free. Sneak Attack doesn't. The answer that you've got prepared for Show and...

I put together a The Gate list and tested it for a while. Now I'm 100% sure that Show and Tell is not a problematic card and neither is Griselbrand. SnT isn't even a strong card, it's easier to...

The meta hasn't turned into this. Griselbrand is new, so everyone is trying it out. Same was true for Jace2 a few years ago, and these days you don't see many Jaces around. Same is still somewhat...

No. In fact, I forgot about whole Karakas while making that argument.

They can't draw 14 in response to two Griselbrands committing suicide after seeing each other on different sides of the...

...right, and Belcher probably isn't a combo either. It's one spell that has a drawback of you have to have six of 49 separate cards in your deck in your hand as well.

Also, you can't ban a card...

You don't need Ritual to cast Hypnotic Specter. You don't need Hypnotic Specter to take use of your Ritual. The ultimate goal of your deck isn't resolving a Ritual and casting a Specter, you're not...

Show and Tell has been legal in Legacy for ages. You have been able to put Progenitus onto the battlefield with it for years. I remember that one didn't simply win games when the opponent had...

I don't find it weird at all. If you don't like a format for any reason, you're allowed to quit it. However, whining about it and making it worse for the rest of the players is not very polite. Hanni...

Show and Tell doesn't have to be banned, because it isn't too powerful by itself, doesn't allow a deck that's too powerful to exist and doesn't make any relevant decks nonviable. However, I think it...
