Oh good. I look forward to playing even more matches of legacy where the game ends because my opponent was skillful enough to be able to tap 2U and have a broken card in their hand.Irony Be My Shield posted:I agree they should have reprinted cards that are banned in legacy Personally I don't see a difference between "printing actually good cards" and "reprinting Timetwister."

mandatory lesbian posted:Which one is Sneak Attack? This. He's a Heirarch, from Bant, who jas a +1/+1 ability under the right conditions, taps for mana and costs one G. I think the big issue though is people bitching (though not people here necessarily) that they made a lovely/differnt Noble Heirarch and then arguing about whether or not it should be directly compared to it's fore-bearer. The answer is if your deck wants Honored Heirarach, it would be better with Noble

I'm still confused as to why people would think a younger Noble Hierarch would be stronger than an older one. Maybe Bant was still a Baby Bant, with Baby Hierarchs and Baby Derevis.

It's pretty good as a green aggro creature. It probably won't be in tournament decks but it's not ludicrously unplayable in the temple pass format.

God I hate retarded people. I just had a facebook "discussion" with a local player who is just shocked Something from that Grishoalbrand deck didn't get banned, because it is soooo good. It is currently about 1.8% of the meta.quote:I'm not the one throwing percentages around...I'm the one saying the deck is broken and needs banned. Clearly we agree to disagree, see you at the PPTQ smile emoticon Right, decks that don't win a lot are broken. rofl.

Glad to see nothing banned from Amulet Bloom, though I admit it's a bit of a selfish reason. I got within ~10 cards of finishing Pod at the time it was banned (though it was the 10 most expensive cards so it wasn't like I had drop a lot of money, and was able to use the leftover cards or trade them immediately); I'm within 5 cards of finishing Amulet Bloom so I was worried that I was about to go 2-for-2.  mandatory lesbian posted:eeeeeeeeh it's a bit of a stretch, to be honest that seems closer to Splinter Twin then Sneak Attack Fair, though the similar cost to cast and to use the ability while using a 'fixed' version of Sneak Attack's ability (what we see today with stuff like Splinter Twin and Twinflame, etc.) is what caused me to compare them. bhsman fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Jul 13, 2015 |

It's perfectly reasonable to want that deck banned. I think decks that like that are bad for the modern format no matter how much they win.

I remember when birthing pod was surprisingly not banned last year when everyone said it was taking over the format, then acted surprised that it was banned this year.

Modern is bad with that deck in the format, but it will be that much worse if you cut yet another interesting deck from it. Either way Modern's bad.

Count Bleck posted:When was the last time Legacy had a playable card printed that wasn't Dig Through Time/Banned Cruise, anyway? Literally every set since? Kolaghan's Command, Ugin, Swiftspear and Mentor are all played in real decks. This set is coming up short with that white 1W card being fringe playable as a sideboard card and aerial volley being a potential (but unlikely) sideboard card as well but core sets are usually a wash. Pretty much every set though has new cards for legacy, it's just on the order of 1-3 cards instead of 40-50.

Four Score posted:so do judges call judges on themselves when their opponent doesn't know how rules work or do they flash their judge promos like badges e.g. "See this promo Piledriver? It means that when I say you cannot resolve a Snapcaster without passing priority, I am not making that poo poo up!" I never make rulings on my own matches. If another Judge isn't available an experienced player or a player considering getting into the program performs the role of a Judge. It's good in that players never feel cheated when you make a ruling in your own match and also provides a good way to help L.0 candidates gain experience and feel more comfortable.

Modern gets more hate than it deserves because it's not legacy but it's got a lot of interesting decks. Let's not pretend that magical christmas land reanimator decks are really that busted.

However I think that if you are going to have a reasonable discussion about the B&R you have to evaluate the way Wizards does, and not just "gut feelings" Also this person brought up Pod. So I looked up some numbers. Pod top 8'd 70% of modern GP's and PT's in 2013 and 2014. The real shock is people were surprised when it was banned. jassi007 fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Jul 13, 2015 |

Because since none of us in the thread know the guy I feel like supporting your actual friend does not make you an evil person. Actually y'know what nevermind, gently caress this. I don't give a gently caress about Zach and the last time he was the thread topic it became a shitfest.
