I've been aware of Ertai's Meddling for a long time, and wondering if anything interesting

(I realize it's 2 weeks later now, but:)
I too had kept checking this thread for anything more on the season, since my reply
had been the only one to the Thassa's Oracle consequence that jfb...
I like jfb's suggestion for the hand/land rule:
"If an effect an opponent controls would cause a card to
leave your hand or a land you control with no other card
types to leave the battlefield,...
other thing: Would basic lands be exempt from banning?
For Sirocco and Tyrannize, should this instead be, they are affected by the special rule if and only if the player can't pay the life? (due to either not having enough or Platinum Emperion)
Is...
I've now thought of some ways, and then realized that even the original can be clarified: Do we take the "force" part seriously?
(The alternatives I see are "can't cause" like Tamiyo,...
Meddling Mage / Curse of Silence could be handled by adding roughly
"If an effect would prevent spells with a chosen name from being cast, or increase the cost of such casting, this ...
I got curious about the Goblin Game problem (per FTW's post), so I wrote my own Python code for it.
The outcome is,
FTW is correct that 27 life is enough for Player A to kill with 4 Goblin Games...
4 tokens vs 2 tokens was due to me getting Geralf, Visionary Stitcher mixed up with a different card.
I'm guessing you think your answer remains correct after my change to 2...
On the battlefield, there is
Brutal Suppression
and
at least one nontoken creature with a "sacrifice a creature" activated ability...
Does that mana just not empty normally, or
is it also immune to things like Mana Short?
What about Kruphix, God of Horizons?
For ban-option a, note that
even with no draws, it's still...
My understanding is that that's declining to take an action ,
rather than taking an action , so still results in a draw under the MTR.
The recent-ish discussion about loops was on pages 250,251,252,253 . According to the rule that established, neither Basalt Monolith
nor Nomads en-Kor draw the game by themselves, but...
I haven't tried working this out, but your explanation makes me
suspect that you're missing the Loops rule from this thread's OP:
disagreement:
I get that you do when you are OTP:
Don't bother with Tendrils or Flashback, and only use Pendelhaven defensively.
maxx can't cast T1 PF, so you untap before maxx can cast...
disagreement:
Why can't Asthereal make progess? Asthereal double-attacks, and if
you block then Asthereal pumps whichever one you block. That means
Asthereal's Squirrels never die, so...

These are both Layer 6 effects, neither is
from a characteristic-defining ability, and
there is no dependency between them.
Accordingly, the later timestamp wins here. I don't
know what this...
At least it didn't take until the _very last_ round, when the banning
no longer matters, unlike Goblin Welder in I forget which season. :-)
Tezzeret doesn't stop you from continuing to make Squirrels, so I think you win both of these.
@dte: ah, right

Note that, if nothing else changes in silkster's results, then OTP me vs silkster OTD _will_ affect the bannings.
With that in mind, we should decide how we will, going forward,...

I don't know what normally determines set legality, so I can't comment on the "should" part, but Scryfall
lists Black Market Connections as legal in those 3 formats
and
is what I use (rather...
