I believe they should ban it and print a new version more in line with this powerbudget. A direct swap with Careful Study , is what I would have liked. EDIT: That image was since deleted. Its just a messaged/curated data set of what could be. No way in Urborg does that turn out to be the meta, let ...

Correction: It probably is not the day 1 metagame breakdown, as some people claimed on twitter. A really good picture of Modern during the last few weeks, by Frank Karsten.

it's way to early to even consider banning w6. If we are concerned about w6 pushing out other midrange decks we should bolster them up or bring decks that punish midrange as a whole down. decks like tron and dredge hurt midrange way more than w6. modern just doesn't facilitate a bunch of midrange de...

there is no conflict in my posts the only conflict is words and your reading comprehension. games ending on turns 2 and 3 is not mutually exclusive with decks trying to win on turns 2 and 3. sometimes turn 2 and 3 decks win on turns 2 and 3.

Warning for trolling

you should not misrepresent people's statements if you want them to cool down. it matters because magic is a form entertainment and if games are over on turns 2 and 3 I get less entertainment value because you play less magic. I have played on mtgo and the situation was not much better. it's a craps...

50% of your fnm trying to turn 2/3. So, what decks are those people are on? How many decks do we have on modern than can win on turn 2, besides Neobrand? key word was trying. look at my previous posts. I do find it funny that you have twice now tried to misrepresent what I said by reducing my turns...

for sure, but it's not worth my time or money to metagame a fnm. il just do something more entertaining that doesn't require me to jump through hoops

50% of my fnm dont get it twisted. main offenders are neobrand, storm and Phoenix decks

my fmn is very competitive almost exclusively tier 1 decks played by former grinders. good luck comboing on turn 3 when half the field is on UW control with maindeck RIP and the other half is trying to kill on turns 2 and 3 as well

selling most of my modern collection was what I did. if wotc doesn't want the decks I enjoy to play in the format il just move on and get my entertainment out of modern elsewhere edit: knightfall is too bad of a deck unfortunately as I have sunk too much time and money into it. counters company brin...

I guess I picked the wrong decks to like because they either dont exist in the format or are too bad to take to a fnm . Like what? I mean a quick look at the meta proves this out, there are a ton of options. UR Phoenix - Combo/Aggro E Tron - Big Mana/Midrange Jund (<3) - Midrange UW - Control Human...

As long as you don't care about winning... This is not true though. You can care about winning, and still play nearly every archetype you can think of. The issue is, again, what are you playing AGAINST, and can you personally accept that others can play what they like, just as you can play what you...

There is a deck for nearly everyone, I don't think that should be a problem. If there is an issue, it's simply what makes up the rest of the format. I with honesty will not play if E-Tron is Tier 1. I refuse to play against that deck multiple times as I just find TKS and Smasher, completely tilting...

by all means if you enjoy modern dont let mine and others criticisms of the format stop you. I do take exception to the argument that there Is a deck for everyone in the format. that is only true if you dont care about hemorrhaging tix and tournament entry to be a savant for said decks. this is part...

agreed gsz and sfm being banned at this point is a bad joke that has gone on too long. having these cards banned makes it very difficult to take modern seriously. at what point does the state of the banned list is delegitimize modern or has it already happened?

I cant give wizards a pass for unbaning GGT before BBE or many other card they have unban. who cares if it was never legal in modern we all know that GGT does one thing and that's dredge. jund continued to dominate after BBE got unbanned because BBE wasn't even close to the problem

if modern's banned list was more reasonable, there would be much more reasonable ban talk. remember the people managing the banned list saw fit to unban goglari grave troll before blood-braid elf. there are reasons why the modern player base is the way it is. hopefully this is clear and won't be mis...

he quoted me in his post thus lumping me into an argument I didn't make. I just think it is far more beneficial for the game to not have it be broken by cost reduction mechanics and their ilk every few sets than to try to work them in

please avoid quoting me or at least address each post individualy if you are going to continue doing this.

@ktkenshinx i believe you read it wrong, you should interpret this as written and not project onto it. my statement was about wizards design philosophy and how they will print things that circumvent the games resource systems. By not printing or at least not pushing things that circumvent the games ...

maybe wotc should stop printing or at least stop pushing things that circumvent the games resource systems. they keep making the same mistake over and over

its impact on the format is undeniable as it broke the format but it's not a success or it's too early to tell. classics and IQ's are small tournaments so I wouldnt read much into them. I'm waiting for opens and grand prix

I have a hard time calling modern horizons a success given that it broke modern and we haven't had any major post bridge ban tournaments as far as I am aware.

wotc could even monetize unbans via reprints. hell they could have unbanned sfm and reprinted it in horizons. there is almost zero downside to unbaning safe cards

I'd rather have a card do nothing than break the format
