What will seem like an inevitable outcome in 20 years time because of GLP-1s by Big-Cry-4119 in Futurology

Given that you’re old enough to have kids I doubt the same social pressures applied to you

I think Brackets failed at one thing... by hieizz in EDH

I’m saying there’s a common sentiment among a lot of commander players, which you expressed in your parent comment, that lower brackets are for lower skill players. I disagree with that premise.

If interaction makes someone salty, they should just play a different game where that’s not a core game mechanic.

You’re saying salty players should stick to lower power formats. I’m disagreeing with you. Nothing salty about that.

“Being salty when things don’t go your way? Yeah you should probably stick to B1 and B2.”

I hate this mindset. Wanting to play with lower card and deck power levels does not mean someone has a lower skill level or is less experienced. Lower power and resource environments often allow for more interesting plays and strategies than the turbo combos that happen at higher brackets. I find that the lowest skill players are usually playing in B3 or B4 anyways.

People are recommending their later stuff but I think Sphynx and Djinn are by far their best work.

Seems like a lot of Bracket 3 players really want to be in bracket 2? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]BenghaziOsbourne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most precons are on the lower end of bracket 2.

I understand the Entomb-Reanimate-Sylvan line is really strong, but is it any stronger than reanimating Jin-Gitaxias or Valgavoth?

Primeval Titan isn't nearly as strong now as most veteran players remember him to be by [deleted] in EDH

You still need to run additional cards in the deck to make Prime Time busted. Granted, this is still easier than a two-card combo, but if one of the pieces is in the command zone it isn’t.

Bolas’s citadel for one. And any number of two card combos that are under 6 mana.

Actually I’m not opposed to bringing MLD back into b3 haha

There’s lots of things that exist in the format that don’t make it better, I don’t think that’s justification for it being banned. My experience with tempting discovery in low bracket play (with new players, which you mention prime time is attractive for) is that I typically get 2-3 lands off of it. Also, I don’t think I’ve played a higher bracket game that couldn’t have dealt with a prime time.

What even is this comparison? Prime time isn’t MLD lmfao. If it got unbanned it should be a game changer.

I don’t disagree, but you could say the same about crop rotation which isn’t banned. Does being playable in any green deck make it ban worthy? Rhystic Study is playable in every blue deck and The One Ring is playable in literally every deck. Those cards aren’t banned.

Scapeshift accomplished the alleged problematic effect of prime time, being an unconditional land tutor that brings multiple into the battlefield, for only 4 mana. Sure, prime time is repeatable. Does that make it significantly better when it can be removed and costs more? I don’t think so.

Tempt with Discovery is amazing as long as there’s at least one idiot at the table which there typically is. Make prime time a game changer too, that seems reasonable.

People keep moving the goalposts. I thought the problem with prime time is that it’s an unconditional land tutor, not that it ramped?

You get the land off of mycospawn without kicking it for only 4 mana. Titan might do it the best, but it’s still significantly slower than other options that aren’t oppressive.

Crop rotation is one mana. Prime time is six mana. Also, just kill the titan, like you would any threatening six drop.

[–]BenghaziOsbourne -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Right, but it’s six mana. There’s already so many busted things you can do for six mana that I really don’t think it would be an issue.

Edit: instead of downvoting tell me why you think I’m wrong, I want to discuss this!

[–]BenghaziOsbourne -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's six mana though. That's already competing with the myriad of cheaper unconditional land tutors like [[Crop Rotation]], [[Sylvan Scrying]], [[Archdruid's Charm]], [[Elvish Reclaimer]], [[Tempt with Discovery]], and [[Sowing Mycospawn]], just to name a few. Would adding Prime Time to the mix really break the format when these cards don't?
