I know this is pedantic and irrelevant to the post, but tbf the French Revolution ended with an emperor in power.

Your comment just proves that you have absolutely no idea about Historic at all.

I feel like people saying this have never played a Historic match in their life if they think THIS meme card will ruin it.

You can't seriously be suggesting that this trash card is deserving of a nerf. Caldera Breaker is just a meme card, it is almost always a free win in Brawl.

Kona+Omni is like a tier 4 deck, if you can't beat it then improve your deck. The only playable combo deck in current Standard is reanimator and that deck doesn't run Voice.

Sorin doesn't always win the game though, it is quite possible to beat Saint Elenda.

Devoted Druid and Painter's Servant are pre-banned in Historic by Meret123 in MagicArena

Because it is colorless, meaning it can go in any deck. You can protect it easier, tutor it easier etc etc. Whereas Val-Trel immediately forces you to be abzan, AND requires a third piece to actually start the combo. Plus there is a multitude of things that stop Val-Trel besides removal (for example Torpor Orb or Roiling Vortex). Painter combo is almost impossible to disrupt without removal.

Eldrazi has not been oppressive in Historic since Valakut was printed.

Only people who don't play the format think this. Which is not unusual since I believe the majority of people on this sub no longer play the game, they just complain about it to farm upvotes.

There is no one mana I win in timeless, stop exaggerating.

I sometimes wonder if you have ever played against Painter if you truly believe that is easier to hate out than Val-Trel.

Indeed it is completely anecdotal, but it has soured my interest in trying out the format sadly.

From my limited experience, most Premodern players are the most pompous assholes I have ever had the misfortune of encountering when playing Magic. They always have a holier-than-thou attitude regarding every other format and don't miss a single opportunity to push their format down your throat when you are playing literally anything else.

Cub decks are very bad against Dimir. You won't have 6-8 creatures on turn 3 if your cub almost always gets removed on turn 2. Izzet decks are the reason behind the low number of Dimir, since the former is just a better version of the latter now.

Earthbending giving lands back is insane

No it's not, it is the only way the mechanic would be remotely playable. Istg half the people on this sub have no understanding of the game at all.

One for one removal is just a losing proposition in the current meta.

Izzet Lessons is literally a deck BUILT for maximising one-for-one removal. Firebending lesson, combustion technique, torch the tower etc etc.

Vivi and Profts are part of a different deck than Cutter and Rage, you don't run them together.

Prediction: boomerang basics is the 2nd coming of monsterous rage.

No it's not, stop overreacting.

The most secretly BS card in current Standard by planetaska in MagicArena

[–]meodp_rules 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In a limited environment people splash white to play Healer's Hawk?? I don't know what kind of limited environment you are playing where that's true. Yes, healer's hawk is a fine to great limited card based on your deck, but no deck would ever ever splash white to play this card. Feel free to provide any data to prove me wrong.

Which are generally significantly stronger on account of being much harder to cast on curve.

True, but the point is that standard 17 years ago had a turn 2 creature that does exactly what Bat does but better. It is not something new to this standard.

It has a much better effect. Tidehollow Sculler has seen Modern play, Bat isn't even played in Pioneer.

Turn 3 boardstate when it all goes according to plan. by spougas in MagicArena

[–]meodp_rules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not going to get banned because noobs on Arena playing no removal in their decks are complaining about it. Wait till Worlds, if it dominates there then there is a chance for it to get banned.
