They could certainly choose to unban Preordain instead of Splinter Twin. Yes. That would make it something like: Preordain , Punishing Fire , Green Sun's Zenith . The latter would help the chord style of decks and Elves that are in big trouble for several years now. At the same time, those are some...

WotC said many times that they don't test for other formats than Standard and Limited. Now, Companion shows that WotC doesn't care about formats other than Standard and Limited. It was obvious that if you introduce some kind of Command Zone in all formats that everything would be on fire. For instan...

the difference between Jace and Twin is.. Jace TMS was banned from the beginning, and then unbanned. Twin was legal for a long time and then banned. So far, I don't know of any modern card that was legal for a long time.. banned.. and then unbanned. Depends on what you qualify as a "long time....

Yeah, I do miss Looting a lot. There is nothing that draws two and discards two for R or even a looting spell that you want to have in the graveyard (flashback). My current brews have been way less consistent and a lot slower than with Looting. Instead of having a positive win rate in the MTGO Leagu...

I'm just pointing out that this forum had it's head in the sand about Hogaak and looting literally from day 1. Now were on the Twin is ok bandwagon? Ok fine. But holy crap dont suggest Jitte! Because...reasons. Anyone care to argue the point I made about Modern having ZERO equipment support for fai...

Everybody and their grandmother is trying out SFM on MTGO. I am having so much fun with Shadow of Doubt right now! If no SFM is present you can also ruin someone's fetch, Summoner's Pact, Sylvan Scrying/Expedition Map, Whir of Invention etc etc. What deck doesn't tutor nowadays?

I always read Looting as: Draw two cards for one hand and put two cards in your other hand. Flashback 2R. As far as I know it was the only red card that puts the draws before a non-random discard. I will miss it in my brews, but I assume it was just a little too fast for the format. However, 5 years...

Interesting win rate analysis from the Mythic Championship IV.
- Hogaak the best deck. Hogaak with maindeck Leyline of the Void was best Hogaak.
- UW control is despite being popular pretty bad.

Shamans. I played a bunch of MTGO "Daily Events" with it, some decks got reported such as this one . There was even an article about it on SCG (probably to sell cards that otherwise never move). Anyway, the deck was actually pretty mediocre with 45% win rate and later I moved to other decks.
