It’s probably an alternate-cost to a more expensive cost. Sac a creature or “if you attacked with a ninja this turn” or something.

Taking away the graveyard interaction, GGT concession in a vacuum is "your deck is green, has creatures, and can reasonably play a 5 drop."

If you play GGT like this the card is unquestionably bad so I don't know what you're arguing here.

If we're doing power level errata now, I would like to see Historic with

1) Oven at sorc speed
2) Oak to 4 mana, just to move one piece of the combo out of CoCo.
3) Sprite Dragon loses Haste.

But that probably just pushes us into a Auras/9 Lives/Niv format, which is different but I'm not sure better.

You bin creatures with the Delve. Don't think it's a card you should be playing from hand.

They won't ban alchemy cards, will they? By nature I feel like they're meant to be nerfed as needed.

For my money, they could keep all these cards as they are if they had some kind of Hushbringer effect still in the format. Then all of those horrible ETB creatures wouldn't feel so oppressive.

I think the past two years have very much shown certain mtg players are very willing to whale for magic. Is it really milking if enough people happily shovel thier slop into thier mouths?

Most of the time it's fine. The way the arena economy/historic/alchemy is managed is not fine.
