I looked at this deck: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/decks/151-bant-eldrazi
For some reason, in the card mana pie chart, the outer ring mana color claims are inaccurate. (It's also unclear if it represent the land base or the mana cost of the cards. It looks like it''s meant to reflect the mana base, yet it claims the deck has no blue lands...)
PS: also, it claims the deck is worth 300$ when 4-of hierarch and 4-of cavern of souls already bust that price by a wide margin...

Both cards are not that good in standard. Standard is not a fast format, not countering the first few turns play is not essential as it is in fast eternal formats. Daze would still be strong and heavily played, but not oppressive.
1. Endlessly debating an interaction scoring system is mostly bike-shedding. Unless you plan to actual use the system to build some stats, it's just endless hair-splitting.
2. I don't think cards that interact after they're played, like ensnaring bridge and, similarly, chalice of the void are what most people consider being interactive. In fact, those two cards would pretty much fall into the non-interactive side, reducing what can be done. A prison deck should not end up being the summum of interactions.
Yes, I realized my point #2 is exactly what I'm talking about in point #1. Irony.
What are you talking about? Tron need 1 out of 4 THREE times, not 3 out of 12. With cloudpost, a single cloudpost enables your entire busted mana base, which can be done off a single map or sylvan scrying. Tron can be thrown off with a single ghostquarter, not post. There are a few scenarios where tron is better, but they're the miority. Most of the times, post is way better.
Edit: I somehow thought the batterskull germ token was colorless.
Hello Mere Opinions! How are you doing?
Did you watch the games? The final games of KCI vs Amulet was pure interactions and skill. The very first match I watch of the GP, Storm vs Jund (Reid Duke) was also very interesting from the storm player side, who showed how it's done. I liked watching them. Yes "liked" not "what a modern match should be". Opinions are just that.
If find amusing that people say SFM is innocuous and yet think she'll spike to 60$ if unbanned. Cards that reach 60$ are universal in-color power-houses, not one-trick poneys. If you speculate she'd get to 60$, it really shows your inner thoughts.
2. Most linear decks also have more dead hands. Hollow one without it's discard spells is an auto-mulligan. Non-linear deck tend to be more resilient.
3. I think this is not tied to linearity per-see. It's about average mana cost. Many non-linear decks have low curves too. It's just that linear decks tend to all be about winning quickly, so they do not play high CMC cards. Modern always has been a low-to-the-ground format, with a few obvious ramp exceptions.
4. Non-linear decks also tend to have fewer horrible match-up. Linear decks have unwinnable matchups.
5. This is the same of linear deck. The only difference is about which player drew better or won the die roll. They also need a good SB to beat the other linear decks. Linear deck also tend to have effective hate cards played against them in SB.
I agree that there is a kind of SB lottery, where what you decide to bring can put you down in a given meta-game. But I tend to favor versatile open-ended SB. I always have a few GY hate, I always have EE, I always have a few shattertorm-like cards.
That goblin sure looks bigger than a 1/1.
That horror is deliciously horrible.
The mending is nice, but slow.
You know, there is a skill of knowing when to bow out gracefully. Stop digging is my advice. You are not the one looking good here.
Kwende is just a wee bit too expensive for consideration in modern human. Making Thalia double-strike just is not enough of a pay-off.
Familiar is good in limited, maybe constructed.
Edit: oh wait, I missed that the self-replicator replicates itself... yeah, pretty bonker with moxen and sol ring.
