Why was Treasure Cruise banned but not Dig Through Time? DTT seems much stronger.

Except that isn't really the case.

There's really no reason for survival to remain banned. Legacy has more than enough ways to combat it.

Yes.

Well regardless I'm glad no one thinks Show and Tell is ban worthy anymore. Now lets hurry up and ban Brainstorm so the format can collapse.

TNN is a fair and balanced card. Not sure what the fuss is about.

I pretty much agree with you. Nothing ban worthy.

I've been busy with life.

What happened to all the TNN hate?

Wait what?

That's really all you had to say.

Holy Light

Celestial Flare.

Which is why IBA is better than most of you: the entertainment value is priceless.

While we have 0 control over WotC being utterly stupid in what they print, I am seeing a pattern here:

All of the "good stuff" is blue, while all of the answers are "non-blue".

Of course people have opinions on what will make the game interesting or uninteresting. The trick is to not use opinions as the basis for determining whether a card is warping the format or not....

People can objectively be wrong.



That's sorta what I wanted to discuss with you.

"I don't like Brainstorm because it allows broken plays" is poor reasoning for a card to be banned.
"I...

Without an objective means, you're pretty much left with mob rule. Even in the world of MTG there are times when a ban is clearly needed. Skullclamp and Jace, the Mind Sculptor during their time in...

What objectively determines whether a card should be banned or not because it makes the meta "unhealthy"? (short of WotC deciding they want to ban it)

The last 300+ pages of this topic is my...

AKA: go play Modern if you want frequent bannings designed to balance the format.

AKA2: Go play Modern if you dislike Brainstorm.

Could Brainstorm be banned? Sure. Tarmogoyf could get banned. Sensei's Divining Top could be banned.

Will Brainstorm be banned? Brainstorm is unlikely to be banned.

So I like how the best Legacy deck doesn't use TNN or Show and Tell.

Maybe TNN is fine afterall?

I can say with great confidence that you are wrong.

Brainstorm is a very powerful cantrip that allows broken plays. But, it's still a cantrip.

It causes more butthurt to claim that Brainstorm is the reason.

Blaming TNN is boring and uninspired.

Hey guys, Brainstorm was fine before Delver and TNN got printed.

Hey guys, Survival of the Fittest was fine before Vengevine and Necrotic Ooze got printed.

The default color for cards WotC makes is blue. Show and Tell was supposed to be green, Snapcaster was supposed to be red, Tnn was supposed to be white, and someone accidentally made Goyf green...
