I'm definitely liking the DRS ban. It's a shame they didn't ban the fetches along with DRS, as it would have made Nacatl more balanced and the games much faster due to the lack of shuffling. I guess you can't win 'em all.
I thought TNN not getting banned while BB and Nacatl being unbanned was a huge win for all actually.
There are other aggro decks. Saying aggro is non-excistent shows you don't know the meta at all. There are aggro decks that are slowely getting better and could enter tier one depending on future releases. With Nacatl that cannot happen. Which is one of the reasons it got banned and probably will stay banned. Stop claiming there are no aggro decks, because there are.
I'm creating an aggro deck myself which is running really well so far. With Nacatl in the format new aggro deck creation goes pretty much out of the window. A balanced, fair card like goblin guide would be ruined.
And for the last time: The existence of removal is no argument to unban such cards. With that argument you could unban pretty much everything...
What decks are you referring to here then that get pushed out? And you specifically cite Nacatl as pushing out your creation like that's really the big deal for the Modern meta.
Having DRS, Delver, and Thoughtseize at 1 CMC, and Tarmo, Confidant, and Snapcaster at 2 CMC is what would push a deck out of the meta, not the Cat.
Affinity does pretty well. UR aggro, burn, Merfolk became better in 2013. Just check top8s / decks being played. It's not that hard to find... A turn one 3/3 makes no sense in this format in my oppinion. Saying there are NO aggro decks is just laughable.
Don't know if you read any of my posts or from others regarding this, but enough arguments are being given. If you read my last post there are arguments in there, it only asks of you that you know a little bit about what decks are being played and what decks are being created
Yeah....Nacatl really pushes out those right? Obviously I don't know the meta, but your grasp seems superb!
Robots will be robots. UR Pyromancer with Spellstutters doesn't particularly care. Ditto with any of the tribal decks. And really, your magical creation, okay, I'm sure that's really going to change the meta.
It's so strange to see a player base afraid of Wild Nacatl, it's really going to push out all those other fair aggro decks right? All those non-existent ones that will probably never exist anyway.
What creatures are you buffing? Just the 4 Tarmo? I like Tarmo defensively, but having it+Noble to play offense it a deck that isn't well suited for speed seems counterproductive.
Favorite part of playing, when you cast it a third time and the opponent has killed Curio, Skullclamp, and can counter your Titan and still get totally killed in one turn.
Remember that time getting forests was as good as getting any lands you want? No? Of course not, that's probably why Prime Time is banned and SP is still around.
You need Curio to loop Ulamog, yes, but the important part is to learn to turn your board and hand into a loop of effects that allow you to get to a point where you can go infinite or just lock up the game on the spot.
Now I wish I didn't win so many matches with Derevi on Cockatrice.....I really think it deserved more time in a world without Zur eating its bad match-ups.
I'm still a huge fan of Lingering Souls, and it plays best with Verdicts. I'd drop a Jace and Elspeth though for a Vindicate and a land. I also run Wastelands so that could be the reason.
So how is the card format warping...if there's no real evidence of it warping the format to the level at which other cards are banned? Your argument consists of, "Listen to me, because I post in this forum a lot...and.....you're wrong."
