Seriously, this is pretty dumb.

On one hand, replacing W & L numbers by the best mle estimator of the winrate %age (pmle=W/(W+L)) + a second value to represent uncertainty (like width of the 95%...

All these cards are fine if they're paid for with mana. They're not inherently broken - they're only broken if you find a way to cheat them into play, which is true of any card the effect of which is...

I'd argue South America is the better continent. Sure, Australia is even easier to defend, but you're never going out of that hole. It's not like you're ever going to conquer Asia, are you ?

No,...

I don't see why there should be any holy cows. Not even FoW. If FoW is unbannable, it's indeed due to its own merit, "because it's the glue that holds the format together", ie allows it to not...

Indeed, it would be more powerful in a Stax scenario like you described. Given the current state and viability of Stax, I'd actually see this as a positive effect.

In any way, if Tabernacle is not...

I initially posted it in the price bitching thread, but...

Legendary Land
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, for each creature that player controls, destroy it unless that player pays 1.

This was mentioned from the start, but I'm not sure anyone would get really priced out of the format. 4c/5c just can't be built by only piling up on Duals - you're forced to run rainbow lands like...

100% right



You're exactly right, and I agree that just means the format would adapt.



I think the difference is one of perception. No fetches would still mean people having access to :...

Would they ? On the short term yes, but with manabases forcibly fairer, it's not an argument I would say is obvious on the long term. Today Blood Moon is a house because the opponent's only out is...

I thought about that, but :
- monocolor decks are unaffected
- two color decks are unaffected (they already play 4 duals), they'd just play shocklands and/or painlands instead of fetches
- 5 color...

It would be a huge shake-up, that's for sure. But I'm not traumatized by the idea. And yes, I'm a bit tired of the ubiquity of Brainstorm & DRS. Nuking the fetches felt like an interesting way to...

So, pure exercise because it will never happen, but this random thought crossed my mind this morning, and I was surprised it didn't seem as stupid as it felt it should. What if fetchlands were banned...

Yes, I'll be denying that. The fact that you dare such a comparison shows that you don't even know what you're talking about. Regarding your lazy comment about what I could or could not "incoporate",...

"A window of one turn to be dealt with before X" makes a huge difference. It is actually so huge that not seeing or dimissing it says a lot.

Also, you can still interact with mom after one turn....

Thanks.

Not that I don't believe you, but why would that be of any importance ? Are there cards, mechanics or rules that explicitly use the order in which creatures have entered play ? I can't think of any....

Quote him. I dare you.

I'm 99.999(...)99 % sure he used the same and only reasonable way to say something like that, ie among the lines of : "we're now much more cautious about doing things that...
