Whether banning a bunch of decks would make other decks better is debatable, but that isn't why it would kill the format. There is an implied premise here which I think is false; the idea that when...

All attempts to “fix” color balance (I.e. give every color the same metagame share) will be ultimately fruitless. If blues metagame percentage dips too low, fast combo comes and takes over. Have fun...

In 2-3 color format shouldn’t one expect each color to hover around 40-60% of the field?

Even in the world where this was a change that would lead to a more balanced format, it would kill the format.





Your non-blue decks fall into two categories, raw power (i.e. DnT) and...

How much B and R discussion is based around misrepresentation? Is “Cantrip a deck? Is UB a single deck? My favorite is the claim that Delver and Czech Pile are the same deck.

Legacy players do have the ban-happy attitude that Modern players had back then, and it had had a similar impact on the format. I think it’s warranted for comparisons sake at least.

Ah, a more consistent turn 2 Jace then vintage. Or turn two mentor cantrip. Or turn 2 Chandra, torch of defiance without needing to warp your deck around it. Or a more consistent t1 Show and Tell....

Aren't all three of those decks soft to combo? Whatever the case, playing underpowered decks and complaining about how underpowered they are is sort of unimportant data. There are tier one decks that...

So, what you’re saying is that when you played tier 1 blue decks they felt more powerful than tier 2+ non-blue decks? That’s not exactly shocking.

I’ve played DnT for the last 3 Years. I just 6-2d day one of scgcon with Elves. Brainstorm is fine.

So in your 28% BUGx decks you have included 2 Grixis decks and an Esper deck. You have lumped midrange, aggro and control into one category. Its not a meaningful number. Its just the number you get...

This is why I hate using numbers. You can make them say whatever you want if you frame them correctly. Sure, this pile of five distinct strategies is 28% of the metagame if you decide to group them...

So 4c runs red and K Command, Jace and Snapcaster Mage while Team America runs Delver, Tarmogoyf and Daze. If you're talking BUG Control vs 4c control, I'll give you that they're pretty similar,...

I feel like the reason to not unban the stuff thats probably fine is because it doesnt really gain much either way it goes. We either have Scenario A, where they're as bad as people think they are so...

Lotta buzzwords here. If the format is so warped, why is the most popular deck just over 10% of the metagame, and a ton of other decks are hovering around 4-7%. Its not like you can't play non-blue...

Maybe its because a vast majority of people dont agree with that assessment

“Treating dandruff by decapitation”

That sounds less like "its oppressive" and more like "I dont like it".



Deathrite Shaman is bannable because of "grumble grumble brainstorm grumble grumble"? Whats the correlation there? The...

Is “oppressive” the word you’re looking for here?
