    posted a message on Do you enjoy modern right now?
    The only thing I dislike from modern is how whinny have the players become. Every B&R announcement everyone is calling for a ban in the best deck. But there will always be a best deck. This is almost turning modern in a rotating format. I like non-interaction, and that should not be a reason for banning cards (like KCI) I can understand people who don't like linear strategies, because it's boring to play against them. It's also boring to play against UW control that goes t1 spell snare, t2: remand, t3 Mana leak and t4: cryptic command. If we would ban any deck we don't like, wouldn't have a format to play. People is screaming now for a faithless looting ban, without acknowledging how it is a pillar on the meta, and is important that it allows graveyard decks to exist. The "Phoenix" syndrome of a super popular deck is just a symptom of how wotc took it's design phylosophy since the end of theros block. MH isn't going to fix the problem just because wizards barely know something about modern. Is up to the players to understand that not everyone wants to play the game in the way they like it and that's a feature, not a con of the game. There's people who will play the best deck in the format just because it's the best, there's people who will play counter.dec because they want zero sum fun in the game. There's people who will play storm because they like counting to 20. Players should ask for unbans, not bans, and trying unbans should be done more often. Stoneforge, twin, preordain, and other cards are completely safe. But thanks to the players, the list just keep growing
