Absolutely impossible to say without knowing what the deck is, what it wants to cast on turns 1-4, do you have cards like Pack Rat and Master of Waves that it's basically absurd with?
Stuff like that matters, there's no "absolute" imo. Anyone that says otherwise is lying.
if they made them without the basic land types and made them legendary they'd probably be okay, but that's way too obvious and such a boring design I don't think it'd ever happen.
Not suggesting they're too powerful, but they are too "something". People complained when we had shockland/"check" land manabases, for example. Of course most people have no clue on power level and what is "too good", but that's another topic altogether.
better mana, and a lot of the creatures aren't worth 1 for 1 removal, it's much more effective to just pack 4 Verdict and 4 Detention Sphere to get 2 for 1's or more. Black doesn't really add anything necessary, it does have some good sideboard cards, but that's about it.
A few months ago, all anybody complained about was "too much multicolor blah blah". Wizards makes a mechanic that promotes staying in 1 color and people still complain.
Honestly, you need to get over it. There's nothing wrong with it. You are putting yourself at a huge disadvantage if you aren't using a pen and paper for life total, and short note taking. A judge will ALWAYS side with somebody with pen/paper over life disputes, assuming they appear legitimate. The fact that you're on a high horse for "remembering on my own" is extremely immature and frankly, ridiculous. Time is a factor in competitive magic, sitting there trying to remember their hand, turns, cards played/drawn since then, and things of that nature add up. Instead u can jot down quickly and focus on the rest of the match.
And no, they aren't allowed to write down your entire deck, there's a big difference between 7 cards and 53.

That was such a miserable block tho.
Either you played affinity or the Green/X deck with 4 Oxidize, 4 Viridian Shaman, Viridian Zealot, and Molder Slug
I don't remember the exact deck, I know it was like Troll Ascetic, a bunch of artifact hate and like Sword of Fire and Ice.
There was the red Ponza deck too, same deal. Echoing Ruin, Detonate, Molten Rain, Flamebreak, Seething Song, Arc-Slogger
Affinity vs. pick your flavor of affinity hate.
I love Ravenous Baloth and Contested Cliffs more than most tho. Back in my day, we paid 3RR for an Avarax and were happy about it.

- Griselbrand
- Rune-Scarred Demon
- Kuro, Pitlord
- Pestilence Demon
- Sire of Insanity
are the best targets if you want some variety, but Griselband is prettymuch in a league of his own, for all creatures, not just demons.I don't think you know what sample size and confirmation bias are.
Are people really suggesting 4/4 fliers for 2 mana? jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, even a 3/4 for 2 would be too powerful.

That is the exact opposite of what I said.
4 of each is prettymuch mandatory
Vampire Nighthawk is very good also
Bloodlord of Vasgoth, is way too expensive, I guess things are different in casual magic, but I wouldn't play them.
