Quote from Nyzzeh »Wait a minute, just after the deck gets released and abused and is obviously broken and I point that out most of you call me a flamer or a troll, and now you are all saying it should get banned. LOL.
Next time, learn from the master...
Then I make 1 mistake out of 10 and people call me bad because I have a 10% failure rate. Suuuure :).
You have predicted and/or called for bans/nerfs on Tron cards, ETemple, Chalice, Past in Flames, Traverse the Ulvenwald, Dredge, and now Hogaak Bridge. That's one hit in Dredge, five misses (Tron cards, Temple, Chalice, PiF, Traverse), and one ommision (no KCI). If Hogaak gets banned, you'll be 2 for 7 or 2 for 8, depending on how you score. This is exactly what I was referring to when I talk about throwing darts at a board. If you throw enough, you are bound to hit and then give acclaim to predictive skills when the record clearly shows a less flattering hit rate.
Again, Hogaak may be capital B Busted. It may be bannable. But that doesn't mean we change proven ban prediction methods because the hysteria and alarm was right one time in 10+.

No, it wins on the spot in real life as well. If you shuffle your library once and exile the top card with his ability, your deck is still randomized - a judge will let you shortcut it by going shuffle, exile until you're done, and then proceed. The same thing happens with Minds Desire in paper.
Since it's "until end of turn", not at once, the lands thing doesn't even matter, too.

He's a one card combo in big mana decks. 4 mana Karn, -2, get Mycosynth Lattice, cast it for 6. Enjoy not having lands!

Man I'll just keep playing with the cards that they give me - if they ever knock me out of the format I'll just play Highlander full time.

So we've talked about this a lot in the Amulet Titan discord, but the summary is basically that Relic is very good when people are trying to Blood Moon you and lets you sneak out turn 4 Titans when you wouldn't otherwise be able too, Trinket Mage can get you Amulets or Ballista or EE and is just a good multipurpose tool, and the Sanctuary and the Paths are mainly because there are a lot of creatures these days which Dismember and Abrade can't hit and Path is just the cleanest tool we have for answering them out of the board. Path can also be a little bit of Blood Moon insurance - Pathing your own dork in response to a Moon and then landing a Titan, for example.
