I hate Griselbrand

[DragoFireheart]

people said "last oomphteen events show Brainstorm isn't dominating" and "top8s are disagreeing with you". I used statistic evidence to prove them wrong. It is very effective.

Alright, then we could argue that Force of Will should also be banned since it too is dominating according to your reasoning.

Funny thing about statistics is that you can use them to "prove" whatever you want.

So is this a "math is for idiots" type of argument? Because statistics are actually useful for certain things. But go ahead. Use that statistic to prove that Brainstorm should not be banned.

Add Wasteland to the list too...

You present such a sound argument and all my perceptions have been shattered. What "maths" have you actually used? It seems you haven't done any work except provide a link, good job.

Tao, your assertion, if I'm understanding you correctly, is that since Brainstorm sees the most play across all tournament placing Legacy decks, it should be banned. Fine. Let's say you get your wish and Brainstorm is banned solely because it is the most played Legacy card. Then what? Are we going to ban Force of Will (which would presumably become the new #1)? How far do we go with banning simply because it sees a lot of play?

What should be the difference between the most played card and the second in the list or the avarage number of each card played to require a ban? If the only argument derived from those statistics is Brainstorm should be banned because it's at the top of the list I wouldn't recommend giving that set of directives to a computer to process. Because..

while (Legacy == 1)
if countof(TopOfTheList) == 1
ban TopOfTheList.card

You can see where this is going..

Edit: This forum eats the space and tab characters so I hope you guys don't give syntax errors. Also the name of this thread should be changed to "I HATE Brainstorm" which actually what this is.

We need to change the name of this thread to "I Heart Griselbrand". Now I can use my attack step AND combo off in the same deck. Also, scythe hands?! What's not to love?
