Wow. This is literally my brothers deck. happy to see that other people understand just how degenerate this archetype really is. Great read, maybe try out building soem multiplayer deck next, preferably something with black in it
Though i do not disagree with the power of sol ring, it does not deserve to be banned according to the 3 principles of EDH banning
1. it's perfectly understandable by all players (aka, its not an Un-card)
2. it is not prhibitively expensive (32.10 to buy a precon, if you can't find a single. last time i looked JTMS cost twice that and was still legal)
3. its power level in multiplayer is, as you mentioned; though not in this specific context, far less then that in one v one.
sure, it's a powerful card. but it does not deserve to be officially banned as put forth by the three criteria.
here's something silly/awesome- Joraga treespeaker and pila-pala allow kraj to give you infinite mana ( tap for GG, untap for 1 of any color, repeat). With this, you can then put arbitrary amounts of +1/+1 counters on all your creatures, and win quite rapidly.
Hey, I'm frezon. Been playing since April 2009 and am a 100% casual player. Favorite color is black and color pair is white black. I hope to play for quite a while.
Maro said they wanted more black in Innistrad, so maybe he settled for just a bunch of black walkers instead.
