There is only one flamingo, that is Megiddo
it's Megiddo's club we just post in it.
Welcome to Club Flamingo! If you aren't familiar with the rules for gentlemen's clubs, open the spoiler right here. If you've posted in "the Winner is Judge" before, you'll be fine.
1. Submit an entry that fits the current criteria along with a suggestion for the next challenge (an "IIW").
2. If you win, you are the judge for the next round.
3. If you're the judge, evaluate all of the entries and choose the best one.
But isn't this Club Flamingo? Yes. This automatically makes it classier than basically every other thread on here. But this thread isn't made just for me to dress up like a flamingo. In the next spoiler you will find the special rules for this club.2. If you win, you are the judge for the next round.
3. If you're the judge, evaluate all of the entries and choose the best one.
1. I will facilitate proceedings by sending out PMs and things when needed.
2. If you are the judge and fail to judge in a reasonable time frame, I will judge for you, using whatever criteria I feel like. Don't subject your fellow posters to this. Have a heart.
3. If you do not post an "if I win" challenge, you cannot win.
4. If you DO post a challenge and it's dumb and/or nobody enters, I will take over with a new challenge. You may still judge this challenge if you want, but I'll do it otherwise. If you choose not to judge, see rule #5.
5. This isn't intended to be Club "Megiddo Does All of the Work." Please try not to abandon things, though I understand that real life is more important than the internet. It really shouldn't be, though.
6. As detailed here, double posting and certain spammy posts are not allowed. Please review that link before posting.

Use any criteria you want for the judging! It's up to you (and sometimes me)! If you can't be bothered, use the below rubric.
Card Balance /10: Is the card printable?
Card Innovation /10: Is it new and exciting?
Card Extras /5: Flavor, punctuation, whatever.

See, things like this are why I think MJ/Amuzet are the remaining Bolas agents.

When Gilded Pallium enters the battlefield, creatures you control other than the enchanted creature get +1/+2 until end of turn.

Ultra-fast aggro if fine, play Wrath of God if it's a problem.
Combo is fine, play Counterspell if it's a problem.
Mass Land Destruction is fine, simply because it is no more game-breaking than many other cards.
Stax is fine, because there is nothing inherently powerful about it. Same with extreme control.
Infect is fine, because it allows games to end and isn't especially powerful.
Annihilator is fine, because for the cost of Eldrazi you can get cards like Omniscience.
Casual EDH isn't about power, it's about consistency. Ban the efficient tutors and Sol Ring/Mana Vault/Mana Crypt, as well as ABUR duals.

If you draft perfectly, your deck sucks, but it can cast spells. sometimes. maybe.

So Fblthb card confirmed.
Humongulus is searching for Fblthb in the rain while referencing rain.
FBLTHB!!!!

I don't agree with Charging Monstrosaur, Dive Down, or Typhoid Rats. Monstrosaur is just not where aggro wants to be and there are a million other Typhoid Rats variants.
Maybe also Icy Manipulator, Ethereal Absolution, the Gearhulks, Ravenous Chupacabra, the Titans, Ulamog the Ceaseless Hunger, Emrakul the Promised End, and Jace Vryn's Prodigy for fairly iconic cards(just guessing Absolution will become an iconic bomb).

The reason Storm is a 10 on the Storm Scale is because it is overpowered and has very small design space. In Modern, there are decks that can keep up with Storm.
I wouldn't mind if lands cost 78325473498578934758934 mana to play, it would make them unplayable! Yay! YOu know what enables all the broken things in Modern? LAND! BAN THE ISLAND!
Look, we get you don't like combo. But combo is part of Magic. I, for one, absolutely HATE aggro, and if all the aggro cards were banned I would be happy and durdle for hours. But other people like aggro, and it is important to the meta.
If you hate storm, do one of 3 things: Race storm, interact with the combo, or just don't play older formats.

Don't.
This sounds like casual magic.
Armageddon is an awful thing to do in casual magic, and makes the game unfun.
I fully advocate for using it in more powerful metas, and run it myself in a few EDH decks.

Imagine a world without control.
Now imagine a world where MTG dies.
Now imagine a world where those worlds are not identical in every way.
There is no such world.
Control is necessary to
A: Prevent degenerate combo deck from saying "I win"
B: Keep midrange in check
C: Keep aggro in check
D: Force decks to be relevant early
Without control, you don't have MTG.
