Everyone has its own interpretation of the data. Of course, some interpretations are more useful than others. I tend to study the data a lot because I want this game to be the best one and want all people to have fun, and I tend to write long and reasonable feedback messages to WotC with suggestions to improve Magic. And they tend to listen to it.
In fact, I remember I made a suggestion once telling them to reduce the number of playable counterspells in Standard so that draw 'n go style decks were no longer an option. You can blame me for that one. But hey! I told them that Counterspell was fair at UU. The main reason they went for 1UU was that at 2cc they had no room to print conditional countermagic.
So basically, Counterspell at UU means you get no other countermagic in standard.
Please stop talking about whether Force of Will is broken or not. It obviously is, and rather than "the glue that holds vintage together" it would be better to call it "the rug under which you hide the filth until there's so much that you can no longer conceal it".
In response...Hypothek!
I had to think about whether or not I should reply to this or not. It certainly will not add to the discussion, but this doesn't feel like an especially serious, content heavy thread so I think it's ok.
Why do you think you have played magic longer than me? Would that make you better? I was being genuine and not taking in a shot at you in asking if you had played during Survival. I guess I'm just remembering when Goblins and Landstill were at the top of the heap.

Oh c'mon, join dates? I've been playing Magic for like almost 10 years longer than my join date. What kind of bullshit is this? Scrolling up, I realize you brought up this whole non-sense as a reply to a contentual argument. Should have better replied to that instead of talking shit about join dates. What's next? Post count? Avatar? Signature?
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
Now I feel terribly bad for having exhasperated you with my comment about joining dates. I'm very much sorry about it and I promise I won't make it again.

At least post counts are still a perfectly reliable metric.
YOU'RE GIVING ME A TIME MACHINE IN ORDER TO TREAT MY SLEEP DISORDER.
The only reason I've been so vehemently supporting banning TM before it is because I think the current meta is fine. Could I be wrong? Of course I could be.
I don't think anything else should be banned. Things have been fine since Mental Misstep got banned. Maybe I'd like to see more non-blue decks as DTBs, but I think there's room for other decks to thrive and grow. FFS, Burn was a DTB!

HAHAHAHAHA, thanks a lot you litterally just made me laugh out loud in the middle of a lecture.
Don't pat yourself on the back too hard. Standard is currently filled to the brim with playable counterspells and your long letters to WotC probably aren't rushed directly to R&D. It's cute that you think a team of professional game designers working on the most popular non-video-game in the world are taking your advice to heart and using it to shape the future of a multi-million enterprise run by an multinational corporation though. I bet Santa reads your letters too all the way in the North Pole. As someone who actually goes to school for software engineering hoping to one day be a game designer I don't know whether to find this humorous or insulting.
You should probably listen to me, I've been on this site since before Legacy was a format.

I would have an even higher post count, but I prioritize quality over quantity.

Except that I already am designing a game, I'm just not doing it for money yet. Engineering school with a game design application domain = win. I'm coding my prototype demo right now for a final project, it's due in 5 weeks. Oh and I still don't like you.
I find your arrogance insulting. Way to take credit for the current Standard environment and the new Caverns land. Meanwhile you have an average of almost 60 posts a day for the past 5 years and I can't think of a single one I liked or agreed with in any way.
At this point I'm realizing you post 60 times a day here, and write long letter to WotC, and take credit for things that you most likely had nothing to do with. All the pieces to the puzzle just came together and it's all starting to make sense now.

One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
