Odyssey block was so weird. Obviously you have Wizards intentionally skewing the color balance in different parts of the block, but it also had a bunch of weird tribes like Dwarves, Centaurs, Cephalids, Bird people etc. Not to mention it was the first block to really care about the graveyard, which we've seen revisited in a number of ways. Also it had Terravore, one of my favorite cards ever but one that never sees play  E: And a cycle of cards with the rules text "you win the game"!

GoutPatrol posted:The Theros T1 decks were probably the cheapest in the past 8 years. Yeah, UW Heroic was a real deck people won tournaments with and it cost like 40 bucks f.ex Rabble Red was the cost of a playset of rabblemasters and then nothing else more than a buck

More importantly, where are the cats that were trying to get a huge stack of Bazaar Traders and Cosi's Tricksters in 2010?

That was more because I thought the card was funny than speccing, though. I haven't done that with any other card except Harmless Offering, speaking of cats.

Odyssey Block is nearly as weird as Time Spiral. Such a great, weird few sets. Judgement is maybe a bit weak.

Rinkles posted:The Huey and Cueno Pantheon talks are great They basically say ban Winding Constrictor, Heart of Kiran and Felidar Guardian or if they don't want to do that, just announce they will ban Felidar Guardian when Amonkhet comes out. Their underlying point is that having 2 drops you lose to if you don't answer them sucks, and the combo breaks deck building for anything that wants to win on Turn 6 or later.

Man I'm so glad everyone is still on this "we gotta ban things from standard" poo poo. WotC honestly wouldn't have needed to ban Emrakul and Copter if they had printed actual answers to them. Like seriously where's all the gravehate and artifact removal?

Like I don't even play standard anymore and I still think it looks like it could be fun if they'd let dumb poo poo run around with actual answers to the dumb poo poo.

Stupid dummyface prediction here: With the new practice of announcing bans/unbans 5 weeks after the pro-tour, next weekend they'll unban Jace and announce "BTW here's a reprint".
