Mind Twist with Dark Ritual is not as great as it seems. Even if you resolve a Dark Rit, Dark Rit, Mind Twist for four. You only gain a +1 card advantage because of three of your cards are hitting...

Seriously, anyone who seriously thinks that Skullclamp should be legal must not have played against it back in 2004 when it was legal. Almost every creature-based aggro and mid-range deck would want...

This is an excellent point! Legacy is a much more appealing format for players who like to play "fair" decks than Vintage is. In Legacy, you can actually play a fair deck such as Aggro and win. ...

I think he meant that Brainstorm was the best card before it became restricted, because you could run four of it. Ancestral Recall is obviously strictly better, but you can only run one.

Only someone who likes Vintage would say this. Vintage is the only format that doesn't require maindeck creature removal. Every serious constructed format from Legacy to Block requires maindeck...

A format in which you have to play maindeck graveyard hate in order to compete is not a healthy one. Survival deserved to be banned and deserves to stay banned.

That's a pretty nice example of how MUD can use Mind Twist. Of course, they could also cast a turn two Karn Liberated, which can be just about as devastating if your opponent lets it resolve that...

I'm still thinking that Mind Twist is a safe unban. Maybe someone could show me a theoretical decklist in which it is broken. I think it works best in decks with Sol Lands. And sure it is strong...

Here is the official explanation from Bill Stark on Top's ban in Extended. An argument against Land Tax is that it slows the game down by having a player shuffle during every upkeep. I don't expect...

I'm inclined to agree that Brainstorm should not be banned, but your comparison of Legacy Brainstorm to Vintage Black Lotus is a poor one. Lotus is restricted in Vintage, afterall.

I can't tell if you are trolling or not. Survival wasn't banned because it was a tutor. There are lots of legal tutors. It was banned because, as DragoFireheart explains, its power level became...

I'm inclined to think that Show and Tell will be banned eventually if Wizards keeps printing new game-breaking fatties. Very few serious players played Show and Tell before Progenitus and Emrakul...

Gui, I agree. For once, the explanation for a banning decision in Legacy makes sense. R&D hoped that Mental Misstep would give non-blue decks a nice counter so that they could fight combo. ...

I tend to agree. Most likely, there will be no changes. I cannot imagine anything getting banned right now. Pehaps if a card seems really nuts at GP Providence, something could happen, but I doubt...

Mind Twist is probably safe. It's actually not that good in mono-black decks. It has the potential for the most abuse in decks that play a lot of colorless mana accelerators (Ancient Tomb, City of...
