My group has a 50+ card banlist so i guess we do that all the time
i started to loathe craterhoof behemoth (even if i loved the card when it was spoiled) because it was too easy to win with it. i took it away from every deck of mine (and i had 3 token decks).
my playgroup quickly understood i was right and we housebanned it (even if only another player was using it).
right now i never play a Sword of X and Y. They feel too goodstuffy.
also, skullclamp is feelig too easy to and i'm thinking about removing it
Could you share your banlist? Just out of interest.
As per what they said in the vid, I agree that hating on tutors is stupid. A tutor is only as good as what it gets. If you're just trying to make something janky work, then why not play demonic tutor?
I disagree. Tutors represent a specific subset of your deck (or all of it) so that you can get the best thing fpr the situation. Need removal? Your wincon? Your combo piece? The tutor is all of them.
There's a reason DJ got the reaction he did when playing Vampiric tutor. It has a reputation. His opponent might not have known his deck was jank.
It's true you can get something subpar with the tutor, but if I see it, I'm going to assume you're getting something that will lead to you winning shortly thereafter.
In light of Sheldon's article and the CommandZone episode are there cards you refuse to play because they're too powerful or not fun to be on either side of?
Personally, I play very few high end tutors (or tutors in general), and I won't play MLD, Craterhoof Behemoth, or infinite combos.
I have found that this approach leads to an arms race, with each person just building faster, and harder decks. But if this works for you, go for it.
