This would be awesome, if there also was some kind of a reward for being correct. Otherwise, this rule would probably kill the discussion after the most active people already had their first warnings.

Yes, it would stop the same 20 people from repeatedly crying wolf, I fail to see the problem. Also notice the not so subtle difference between debating the power level of a card and aggressively arguing for bannings.

Well I don't know, how would you really quantify/qualify that? And what if the meta self corrects itself but then a few months later the card returns in full force and dominates the format even worse?

What? The card never dominated anything!! Maybe your minds.

More likely, Karakas is everywhere (o hai Mavriq) and still beating the shit out of Show & Tell -> Legend half the time. Or Spell Pierce on Show & Tell from Merfolk / RUG Delver. Word on the street is that Merfolk in large numbers helped to suppress the efficacy of Combo during this tournament, but this has yet to be substantiated.

Name the last time that happened without a new card being printed that changed the formula.
Re: All B/R update speculation.
I want Black Vice back so I can play Stasis. Mmmmm....stasis...

That's a hard criteria to meet. New cards are added at least every 3 months.
Otherwise, if we slacken those requirements,
Entomb in the era prior to Mystical Tutor ban (early Summer 2010).
Entomb in the era past the Mental Misstep ban (late Summer 2011).
Re: All B/R update speculation.
I was being rather tongue in cheek. The main point being the same 10-20 people cry endlessly about banning cards and are wrong 95% of the time, and these people need to shut the hell up.

Tribal was very prevalent from what I saw, though as the day went on it wasn't near the top tables.
I can't wait to see the TMI the Hatfields post on this one, especially considering they were there themselves.

- Yes, lets kill all banning related discussion because people are afraid of getting banned.
Worse idea I have ever seen on this forum.

Let's do a trade:
Unban Mystical Tutor
Unban Earthcraft
Ban Entomb
Ban LED
Fair?

You Forget MT's interaction with Delver. T2 guaranteed flip? YESPLOX!
MT needs to stay away a little longer.

Unban Miracle Tutor? Really?

That scenario is not that good. This deck already runs nearly 30 instants/sorcery, thats almost a 50% chance of a delver flip. Why waste 4 slots on tutors...what are you really going to tutor? Lightning bolt?
Re: All B/R update speculation.
Good points about new interactions with Spell on Top:
Imagine being able to tutor up Temporal Mastery EOT. This would make baby Jesus shed a tear. It might make Temporal Mastery worth more than a $6 burger.
