Yes. This x 10000. I didn't think of conveying it that way but I love what it articulates, the player's decks can help level out dominate decks and the format should be as open as possible.
But.....I was surprised that where wasn't some kind of restriction for something in vintage shops, that shit is broken, even for vintage.
That was sort of my point. I wasn't pretending to be you above, I was pretending to be me. My deck is totally nichie-er.
I don't think my deck is as good if Brainstorm and Top are banned. Old fashioned Sneak and Show wrecks me though, so Show and Tell could be banned. I shouldn't be allowed to have any bad match-ups since my deck loses mostly to itself.
So, for the next three month's (at least) we either play with DTT (Omni, Miracles or Grixis) or play with something specificly against DTT (Loam/Wasteland with enough angles to attack it)...
Did I say that shops should be restricted? No, B/c it shouldn't. I'm no vintage expert but some kind of restriction to slow the utter explosiveness of the deck. what that looks like is certainly not up to me.
Also I wasn't commenting on the prevalence of a card...that one you assumed for yourself.
DTT remains legal in the format? While I'm not suprised that Erik Lauer is a lazy PoS, it's terrifying that he leaves DTT in the format, even if it's just for another 2.5 months.
Oh well, time to consider buying some Lilianas and switching to Aggro Loam.
Have fun having to actually mulligan, let us know when in round 6 you are deciding whether to keep that 3 land, liliana, punishing fire mull to 5 without the Magic-unmulliganer whether you are satisfied with your choice. I gave up and played cantrips last Thursday. Was pretty sweet not having to worry about ever being without action.
Hermit inconsequential? Have you tried putting up an hermit druid list in like, 5 mins? Hermit druid would shit all over the format, no thx.
WotC don't care about legacy they've proven this time and time again. 0 reprint support, reserved list, ban of format defining age old cards (sotf), basically no unban ever after the first 2-3 years when they created the format.

Anyone on the "ban blue goodstuff" train ever thought that maybe THE reason why Wotc does not want to ban them, is that it could result in an unhealthy metagame with at least half the field playing masturbation decks (combo) ?
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

Wow! That happened quicker than I thought. Let the circular arguments begin!
Remember to jump to conclusions and put as many words in your opponent's mouth as you can fit.
Great so I guess I'll sell Elves.
