Good point actually. I still think it would polarize the metagame around Jace though. It seems like the best way to beat Jace (if you're not playing your own) would be to effectively win by turn 3.

So business as usual except you're finally have an incentivize to play a deck that tries to get to turn 5.

I was gonna say what steve said.

Caleb did a banned series on Jace. I will watch it when I get home from work. Granted the meta is way different now.

Ban all formats that aren't Vintage or Cube Draft.

But I also like EDH and Modern and sometimes even Standard, and also drafting.

The only reason you like EDH is because its fun to play sick rear end cards, which you can do in cube! No one like standard, quit fooling yourself. As for drafting, see cube.

just played my build of RG Bees on xmage (though running Blossoming Defense instead of 2x Volcano Hellion, because Xmage seems to lack that card for reasons unknown).

G1, my death and taxes opponent taxed and killed me out of the game.

G2, t2 blood moon let me pick up some tempo, then blossoming defense in response to a path on my hornet's nest, untap, blasphemous act with impact tremors, in for 13 with 13 bees made.

G3, super grindy. Also stabilized behind a blood moon, but it was quickly blown up. Took a bunch of damage from a 3/2 wingmare, eventually kill it, chord two turns in a row for hornet nests, then xenagos into blasphemous act, 26 bees woop woop.

I really don't care if I go 1-3 tonight as long as I get a few games where I make a shitton of bees.

Banning mentor made so much sense as soon as someone pointed out it's a better and more consistent play than tinker.

It also runs utility lands like the white ETB protection from a color land to help the Knight get through or pump it more.

It very rarely runs that, it's such a bad card to draw.

Early builds did, I haven't been keeping up with it at all.

Is Artificer's Intuition even remotely possible as a deck without Top? There's gotta be some way that you can build the deck without it.

I'm going and planning on leaving $10k richer and hopefully not playing this bad game at all.

Do it! Be like me where your only interaction with the game is watching vintage streams on twitch.
