I disagree with the Initiative MU being favorable. They have a better clock with stronger, more game-impacting creatures, Chalice to lock down CMC/1 pieces and assorted artifact and hand disruption...

Keeping tradition alive:

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Painter deck in the works.

Needs more Anarchy ;)

Lol.

That card would be preemptively banned in Legacy. Book on that.

I rarely post anymore but here we go. It's basically a straight-shot to dismantle control and combo/8-Cast/Echo-LED shenanigans. That's it. It's extremely powerful if you hit the right match-ups, get...

I agree with this, but let's be honest here, too: Magic as a game started in 1993. And now, it's 2022 - so that's 29 years the game has existed. Of those 29 years, fetches have existed for 26 -...

But aren’t the vast majority of players immediately dropping themselves four to six life points a game because of a higher density of fetchlands in their decks? And what about Ancient Tomb decks just...

All-in:

I quit playing Magic over a year ago after playing for almost 27 years and haven't looked back and don't miss the game itself a bit. I always said there was "no such thing" as a "pro"...

Is it, though? If the format becomes stale and unfair with these cards that just turn players off prior to a theoretical future ban, is it worth the satisfaction of these printings in the short term...

If you do choose to play Scheming Symmetry in a deck with Extractions, isn't Thought Scour an ace? I mean, you mill their top two and then hit whatever it was they wanted?

Main-deck Leyline and no love for Ill-Gotten Gains? :)

That's one of my all-time favorite combos!

Are we really sure this is a children's game, though?

Exactly. Because believe it or not, white and black can actually coexist in a smaller world where they have nothing to do with human color. It's astounding.

I don't buy that for a second. You can't tell me with a straight face that the weight of someone's opinion in the decision-making process of this doesn't have final say or influence over the decision...

I don't understand what you mean. When you have a group of people with a hidden agenda outside of strictly banning cards based on their "racist" nature bleeding into the point of absurdity, then it's...

This is one of the best posts in this thread. And it's 100% accurate. They opened the Box when they did what they did because now they have to bob and weave the line of acceptability without looking...

Some cards have racism depicted in their artwork. They should go. But you (Wizards) have to be careful delineating what's acceptable versus unacceptable. Anyone who directly (not indirectly) projects...

But that's politicizing the game, and they can't do that. It's a disaster. That's like someone saying the person who owns the only white car in a parking garage full of parked black cars is racist,...

I think Wizards personally opened Pandora's Box, because the fact is that black and white in the context of Magic: the Gathering have nothing to do with black and white people. There are cards that...

Wonder how this will bleed over to Old School. Some of those cards are pretty good, like Crusade.

I wonder what Harold McNeill has to say about this.

That’s pretty bad, too. Wasn’t that printed in 4th, too?

The only card I could see getting banned in this context is Invoke Prejudice. I think the name is probably fine since its flavor virtue of its mana cost (strictly blue) and what it does is pertinent...

Goblin Wizard? Also, isn't Skirk Prospector broken with Snoop?
