    You just right click and uncheck the "symbol" option now. Simple fix, but it forces you to use it because of it's default settings And ][ works too, apparently

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I can say with plenty of usage experience that it's perfectly fine. Strong, but easily removed. And there are cards we run that are just about as swingy. Offa the top Goblin Bombardment and other powerful auras like rancor come to mind. On ACS madcap often either comes down T2 for about +3 to +6...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    That is pretty hideous... shouldn't it at the very least say "that an opponent chooses to block", or "that the defending player"? I do like the wolf, I like the frenzied G, I also like: madcap skills

    Fair enough, everyone makes assumptions. Me, and everyone else that I've interacted with has liked it quite a bit. And I tend to over review things anyway, cuz it keeps me happier, ya know? My assumption is only from MTGGoldfish, where he Ebays them back to arbitrary people, at a loss from...

    Bans are obviously important. I think the important question is whether an eternal non-power-max environ can exist without seemingly arbitrary bans. Yes, 100%. You yourself have argued that Splinter Twin was a bad ban. If they hadn't banned twin, our format wouldn't have taken a weird inverted...

    Legacy has as many or more non-conspiracy/ante cards banned. List is >70, as opposed to ~35 for modern. They don't have to cyclically ban things to get a T4 format. They ban things < T4, things settle. You've argued against their recent bans so I'm sure you are aware of this. They do not need to...

    You guys sure are fun to bash heads with on a rainy day. You assume there are fewer constraints. And maybe there are. Still, opening X amount = X dollars worth of value according to MTGgoldfish's EV, so we don't lose money buying it, the drafting is pure gravy already. I don't have any...

    It seems that the logical solution is to introduce another extended format, which is how they addressed Legacy back in the day (give another outlet besides legacy). Want to have your standard cards retain value? Easier if there's "Post-modern", which has been popularly going around the internet...

    To be fair to "normal sets", all sets are expert-level, and specifically designed to be drafted. They have the same amount of time to test out this set as any other. Does that mean they should be charging 7.50? 6.50? 5? Maybe. Still, the format works. Jesus, I didn't think yall get worked up...

    If you read closely, you'll see my usage of the median just a few short words later. 1.75 is certainly lower than 7. Both are lower than 10. I probably couldn't find you a set in existence where the average value isn't lower than the pack price. Why is price comparison not a good metric? Did...

    Just break the restriction dude! o_O I think doing it like this is important to actually make the product fun in of itself. MM was/is actually fun to draft, so there's incentive to use it beyond "reducing scarcity of all modern/legacy staples". They are a company working to build a happy...

    Seeing FoW and wasteland gives me hope on the art end of things :) (and on the contents quality tbh). Yeah, I don't see FoW warping draft so much that it's a problem at rare.... it's just a counterspell, sometimes with card disadvantage, in limited. And being a limited run, they've never had...

    I'm down for either of those. Top being as expensive as it is... a crime against humanity as far as I'm concerned. Why not knock out the whole counterbalance pair while we're at it. Fetchlands would be on the right power level for a reprint. Hell, why not all ten. I've never ever seen SCG be an...

    Obviously you've made your choice. Your choice was to bend the color pie to fit what you wanted instants and sorceries to be doing in your environment. Here's what I would have started with if I thought those card types needed more help (I don't think they do honestly, but I won't even get into...

    If they were to put any rare slots into lands plz fastlands. Only five slots, and they are ridiculous nowadays. Even Razorverge is $8.5 now :confused:

    To take a look at the side of "MM doesn't do anything to affect prices!". I'm actually doing a by-the-numbers cuz it's fucking annoying me how little empirical data is used to make assumptions around that argument.I'm not saying anybody on here is saying stuff like that and that it's annoying...

    Unfortunately, those are costs associated with the colors! Not every color is supposed to be as good at removing creatures the same way. With green, you are supposed to have bigger/more creatures, and to use your creatures to kill other creatures, fight just comes down to waiting for the right...

    I personally think that Epic Confrontation or savage punch are "doom blade-y" enough. 2 mana, powerful removal effect, in color. That's the biggest sticking point I have with your white and green designs above. There is little to no color precedence for this sort of effect in these colors. Now...
