Feb 3, 2014frodooftheshire posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favourite magic card has to be Black Lotus. This card is the symbol of magic the gathering. It embodies the sheer power that one card can have. It's value and prestige is unmatched by any other card. It is the card that I strive to one day own a play-set of and to hang on my wall.Posted in: Announcements

I was trying to point out that your example of junk getting those cards is completely irrelevant compared to delver getting TC and swiftspear. Yes all decks evolve but delver didn't just evolve it went an entirely different level unlike when junk got those cards.

The problem is that when junk uses any of those cards it didn't warp the format towards "hey everybody lets play the same deck" and besides abrupt decay those other cards really didn't add anything super good for junk. Before TC and Swiftspear UR delver wasn't really that good. It could certainly win games but wasn't super competitive. Now it is the most popular aggro deck and the most popular deck in the format that's not evolution that's friggen mutation.
Exactly and the only thing that stops through the breach is a counterspell at the right time.
It might but I doubt it's as consistent turn 3 win and we have ascendancy which also breaks the rule and it probably doesn't take as long. Besides without golgari grave-troll I don't see dredge as having enough support. Personally I just think that paying five mana to put emrakul into play is too powerful and it takes about 0 brain power or set up if a "combo" is going to be in modern I would rather it be storm or something that is extremely mentally taxing for the player.
green - tarmogoyf
red - bolt
blue - cryptic command or snapcaster
white - path to exile
black - thoughtseize
I think that keranos, god of storms should be dropped for batterskull and I definitely agree with the 4 lightning helix I would drop a supreme verdict.
I don't run any because I think the card is better suited for combo decks and I don't think we need it.
I agreed with you on that but I think that counterflux is still a decent answer and is good against storm as well.
