That would destroy modern and many beloved archtypes in the format. Scapeshift, Goyf, kitchen finks, geist of st, Martyr, Emrakul, etc.
Why should these be banned?

Ive tried it and goyf doesn't really compliment the deck very well. You just make yourself vulnerable to removal spells that might otherwise be dead cards while having a card that tends to be pretty medium without the proper backup. Not a fan but it has been done and there have been modest results. With the printing of fatal push I imagine this problem only gets worse. I have toyed a little with thing in the ice and its a better two drop IMO. It can provide another crypticesk effect. You can still block with it early game and it compliments the goal of this deck a lot more.
Im wondering, is it possible to have a fairly balanced maindeck of straight beatdowns but with the ability to turn really really hateful in the sideboard for a mixed meta of grind but also your typical linear decks?
The problem I have with the sentiment is exactly this. Why buy into the best deck if I will just lose money. There will always be a best deck that is slightly better than the rest of the decks and there will always be a deck that is on the chopping block. And the twin ban in terms of meta distribution was only slightly higher than affinity of burn or grixis or bgx. The fact the justification was meta participation is just wrong and scary.
Rug moons and rug midrange/control come to mind as well. If you are really cheeky, tarmoshift
Because then literally anything that becomes strong is on the chopping block. Which means affinity is probably justified if twin is as well.
I think Kozileks return could be a thing
There tends to be a few twin decks a few grixis and a bug deck so it would be a thing. I think I will try it.
How do you like eyes. It seems pretty sweet. You dont really need it for twin mirrors since we are already favored there but it seems pretty decent as a thing vs grixis where they probably wont be able to remove it and counterspells become real liabilities or basically just uncastable
Its not something I am going to run. Lands that come in tapped are not something we want on our curve or in our gameplan.
Bans I said nothing but I could see summer bloom go and maybe esnaring bridge. Twin, as much as I love it could also be on the block. The problem is that I dont see bans as doing anything productive whatsoever. Nothing is a problem. Things are annoying but they arent huge problems.
I disagree heavily. Its horrendous for this deck. You can cantrip for a land or a creature a little more than half time. Ok great, if I get a land it isn't good and if I get a creature I feel happy sort of but wonder why I am just not playing sleight of hand.
And then you have an enchantment with essentially flavor text, the only planeswalker worth playing is sarkhan unbroken or jace and you dont need this to cast those spells.
So we are left with a bad cantrip that turns into flavor text. Tell me why you would want to play this?
How do you know?
And in response to the question of the thread, I have no faith. I am an agnostic atheist. I make no positive or negative statement about the existence of god because I have not been demonstrated either position. Atheism is simply a lack of beliefs, not the ascertain that god does not exist. Thus I am an atheist.
