Not true. Rule of Law. GG Holmes.
Counterspell also went from uncommon to common, usually rarity does go up though, but sometimes it goes down.
Good god the Goyf just went up to 25$ on Starcitygames!?

Goyf's selling out all over the place. He'll be a $50 card at some point during this cycle cuz he's that much better than any other standard legal critter.
He's a four of in... almost everything in every format. Yeah, he'll get there until he gets banned.
I told people to buy 'em when they were 3$ each just after Future Sight came out. No one ever listens to Jack.
For my confessions, they burned me with fire/
And found I was for endurance made
I pre-ordered a playset for $5. Best investment I ever made.
Do you really think they will ban him in one of the formats?
My guess is Standard most likely, maybe extended. Not the Eternal Formats though.
Actually, I think he's far more bannable in Legacy, where literally everyone can run him, than in Type 2, especially once they lose the shocklands.

God, I hope they ban him in Standard and Extended so he becomes more reasonably priced for Legacy. The only critter that should cost more than a dual land should have a name that starts with "Juzam" and ends with... umm... damn, how do you spell "Djinn?"
I don't think they will ban him. Reason being he's pretty powerful but with all the testing that Wizards do before making sets they must have something up their sleeves. They can still mass produce goyfs till their prices regulate down to 10$ a piece. That's absolutely ridiculous for a brand new card to be 20$ a piece. If they were going to ban him, they wouldn;t have made him... He's strong for sure and Legacy should be called Goyf Splooge.format but it won't get banned. If he trampled then it would be a different story. I just have a feeling they'll print a monstrous anti-goyf creature or something like that. Pro Green is more tech than ever now, Spectral Lynx ftw.
This is my Signature
Funny how they printed a card thats... .50 cents... and is damn near the same thing as Juzam.
Juzam has the hawt artwork though.
Regardless... poor Goyf is getting too much spotlight.
I'm rethinking my position on him in Legacy. He's better than every other critter but he's green and I don't know that I mind that so much, especially given that critters are going to become endangered as win conditions except in combo.
There are some Legacy decks that try to win with critters that won't use him so maybe he's just a new definition of bad-ass beatdown.
Edit: and of course Jotun Grunt and Tombstalker, two other critters that will see a lot of play tend to negate Goyf to a certain extent.
I also agree. If he hard trample or some other evasion/piercing ability then he would have been banned without a doubt.
I'm kind of glad I got my foil set for $3 a piece on ebay. What are they now foil, like 50?
Team Unicorn is too hetero for me.While this is close it's still wrong. Every one knows it's an orgy of unicorns.******s?
TeaM NOVA for life.
Arguing that just because 'Goyf made it to print he wont get banned isnt really valid, Mind's Desire got restricted in Type 1 and banned in Type 1.5 before it was even tournament legal, and Memory Jar got emergency banned once Urza's Legacy was released. Sometimes WOTC makes a mistake and prints a card that is way to powerful for its time, I can almost gaurantee WOTC didnt test the card (specifically in Legacy) extensively enough to know that it often is 1G for a 4/5 or 5/6, with little to no drawback.
That being said, I dont think it will get banned, although I'd be happy if they did ban it. It just obsoletes pretty much any other beatstick in the game, and break the established ratio of P/T to mana cost by so much, and also is a pain in the ass to get a hold of on account of hes needed for so many decks. However he is still just a vanilla dork that can be chumped to high Hell, my solution is just to play combo and ignore the damn thing.
Goyf is going to make O-Naginata a frequently played card in Legacy.
Heres a rule I live by, if I have to look a card up, its not good. So I'm gunna go ahead and doubt you on that one, no offense.
Artifact-Equipment
1CC
O-Naginata may only be attached to a creature with 3 or more power.
Equipped Creature gets +3/+0 and Trample.
Equip 2.
It makes Goyf into a 3 turn kill and sticks around when he gets plowed if that happens. And there's no chump blocking him.
I looked it up after I posted that to make sure I wasnt just being a jerk (and also for shits and grins), then I also saw it was in Saviors (LOL). Honestly that card doesnt look too bad in a vacuum but I cant think of a good deck that plays Tarmogofy that would also want that. First off, the card cant be dead when you dont have Goyf, so there would need to be other 3+ power mans in your deck, and plently of them. Also factor in that if you have Goyf your probably winning anyways, so in a way it is win more. I dont see it being good in Breakfast or Thresh, the 2 best decks in the format and where Goyf truly shines the brightest.
