Quote from Celestial_CrusaderQuote from jace19Quote from ValanarchQuote from jace19Honestly, i think Jace being unbanned would be fine. they would just need to reprint in a core set a couple of times, bring him to not much lower than he is right now. but even though he is fine, not right now. it would need to happen when blue decks are not really a force, right now it would just create an imbalance and we would have as many blue top decks as Legacy. It would be fine the next time blue needs a boost
You are seriously expecting them to reprint Jace the Mind Sculptor in a core set, not even just once but multiple times? Are you insane? (no offense intended). Standard cannot easily handle his power-level. He will never be reprinted below a mythic and he will never be reprinted in Standard. That means that his price will not go down.
no, i get the skepicism, i really do, but hear me out. Jace is basically fair in Modern when blue is not the ultimate color. In Standard, Wizards would just do what they can to limit how broken he can be. Goyf with fetches and easy grave filling would be too much for Standard, but with no fetches, LD, or sorceries that would be able to throw in a green deck, goyf is fine, really kinda underwhelming. I think in the right Standard Jace could be the same. The problem he had last time is that they printed a really strong card, that could already be abused with plenty of Standard cards and then they made more mistakes about what could get out of hand with it. I think every card in Modern could be reprinted in Standard if they take that card into consideration. and a Core isn't in Standard nearly as long. he will always be strong, but a planeswalker should always be strong in Standard
I propose we have Goyfs in all future core sets. Being serious here.
Yeah, no.

No, I paid 4 mana for a Planeswalker that does a lot of different things. The fetchland interaction is just one of the things that combine to make Narset powerful

1. dealing 4 to a planeswalker will often kill it or make it possible for you to deal with
2. the creature mode is insane given that everyone will be playing fetches "target creature's controller shuffles it into its library" is great
3. your card evaluation skills are subpar

I meant premier events in the non-MTGO sense. GPs, pro tours, etc. I care more about high level competitive play because that is what truly define the top tier of a format. I don't care how well little Timmy did when he played Merfolk in a daily event.
No offense, but I'm not going to take your word or trust your statistical analysis. There is now way for me to verify your results, check the data you recorded, and so on. I have no reason to trust you as a reliable source. That said, there are problems with your logic as well as with your data.
Take this for example
Why would we treat every deck the same for the purposes of this analysis when there are differences between them that would explain why one deck would show up more often in one set of data than it would in the other? I don't understand why you are treating all decks the same way. This seems like a useless statistic that doesn't tell us anything.

Okay. So they lose to blood moon and the meta shifts back and forth. What's the problem? That said, I think you are overestimating how good Blood Moon would be in this scenario.

The fetches shouldn't be reprinted for standard. The shuffling is terrible and they should be kept far away.

1. Without Wasteland to keep them in check they make mana too consistent
2. They introduce far too much unnecessary shuffling
3. Because the combination of Fetches and Shocks is so powerful the fetches effectively prevent other dual lands from seeing play, which reduces diversity by limiting the ways that players can construct their decks.
4. It would remove a huge barrier to entry without ruining standard with 2 years of fetches and shuffling.
Wizards should have banned them when the format was created.

You say a lot of things bocephus, and none of them are ever supported by evidence or logical reasoning. That is why I do not address you most of the time.
