    don't give players with world fire any ideas


    Players already had those ideas in the exact moment the card was spoiled, which is why it was insta-banned and never been legal in first place.

    ah, damn it, didnt read the "total power" part but only the "any number" part. Ok, it's just cute at best now.

    Only guess is that you will have cards with the held mana but there’s barely any cards that can kill all 3 opponent with one spell (something that deals 7 damage to all opponents)


    But opponents draw too, and could draw even response (like Force of Will/Negation). With Worldfire, if resolve, its just so much easier to win and setup a game ending strategy. suspend with Jhoira of the Ghitu. Cast while you got antyhing trapped with any Oblivion Ring style cards. Float even just one more mana to cast a 1 red mana general.

    This unban is dementially nonsense. Of all possible banned cards that could lead to even a slightly more interesting gameplay, the unbanned the most unfun and game ending of them all.

    Is it only me or Moorland Rescuer is completely broken? This is one-side mass reanimator at just six mana. Ok, it must die, but its not that big hoop to do. This card is totally crazy in grave based deck.

    Why didn't they unban also Sway of the Stars? at least could lead to far more interesting gameplay than Worldfire.

    Damn you can't even debate.


    It's hopeless. It will just loop all over the same exactly rant and numbers and ignoring all your objections, as always. It's a total waste of time discussing with him

    WOTC cares about money now. They don't care about the game. Magic is dying.


    LOL. Dude, this is my last reply to you, because I see you're just looping the same rant over and over, no matter that everybody else telling you why you're wrong...
    Magic is definitely not dying. WotC has probably never made so much money out of Magic, and was so popular among players since it's inception.

    YOU will very probably not survive Magic, and one day abandon the game for one reason or another.
    But Magic will surely survive and still go on without you.

    This whole new "triggers only once each turn" it's terrible here. Investigate mechanic already self-regulate itself by paying mana for the card draw.

    I'm pretty sure I already read this rant with the almost exact same words somewhere else multiple times. If you're so much upset of how the game is today, maybe is better for you to not play it at all anymore and let the other people enjoy it.

    Ah yes the good ol' "if you don't like it leave" logic, because you can't not like things in something you enjoy, because if you do then it means you hate it.


    This particular user is kinda obsessed with this argument, so much obsessed that, as I said, he even copy-paste literally the same wall of text in any contest for years. I wasn't talking in general. That's why I said if he was so obsessed for something that he got anyway no power over, it was better for him to enjoy something else instead of being so much frustrated and obsessed about EDH being popular over the old precon decks.

    "Spells can't be countered" but Lier CAN be countered because his ability doesnt work on the stack, right?

    Since when Mind Control was ever playable in standard? And for just one mana less got also a much harsher drawback. I also don't understand why this is rare since mind control effects (even on any permanent) always been uncommon effects.




    I think especially on Innistrad it's meant more for 'you GET to sacrifice something AND it even gets bigger on top of that'. if you don't use death or graveyard it's worse, but especially with blue, there are so many times that just a pure sacrifice enabler is worth a look. I think it's going to be one of the more used versions.


    Are everybody forgetting the fact that if opponent do any bounce spell / destroy enchantment effect, not only he get his creature back, but because of the "sacrifice a creature" drawback, the opponent effectively did 2x1 in this case?

    If this was a sorcery effect I was the first one saying, "yeah, cool", but all auras always comes with the drawbacks of being auras.

    Do you know what getting rid of Core Set means? It means that every set's associated precons are Commander. I hate that. Can't they just release 2 Commander Decks and 2 Planeswalker Decks? Y'know, give new players the choice?

    We used to have 24 preconstructed decks that you could buy for under $25 after taxes. You have the 20 Intro Packs and the 4 duel decks, well 2 sets of 2 duel decks. All we have in 2021 are the 2 Arena Starter Kit decks, and the next cheapest option would be the $30 challenger decks.

    We also don't know how much the Innistrad midnight Hunt commander decks will cost, but a store is selling it for $85 on preorder.

    Cardfight Vanguard has $5 Start Decks. They aren't half decks or decks where you have to do something to make a complete deck. They are full 50 card decks. There are also 5 to choose from. That's cheap, and you get some choices. In 2021, Yugioh has 4 choices of under $15 precon decks and Pokemon has 6 choices. MTG only has 2, well you buy the thing and you get both in the form of the Arena Starter Kit. Anything else is higher than $20.

    Because Commander is so popular, WOTC has no incentive to make Standard good anymore. Just keep on selling $50 commander decks, and keep releasing standard sets that people will buy without even thinking about the health of the format.

    If I made a game, and someone else took my game, changed the rules a bit, and now everybody else is playing my game by the new rules, while I am desperately trying to get new players to play by my rules, I'd give up, and get people to play by the new rules, because that is where the money is.

    There are deck construction rules, like 60-card, 100 card singleton, 40 card limited, and the gameplay rules, like your base rules, Commander, Vanguard, Archenemy, and Planechase. I've said this before. WOTC is over supporting Commander because they lack the confidence to make the base rules better than Commander. They aren't trying anymore.

    You want reprints? Try our $10 a pack masters sets.




    I'm pretty sure I already read this rant with the almost exact same words somewhere else multiple times. If you're so much upset of how the game is today, maybe is better for you to not play it at all anymore and let the other people enjoy it.
