Fuck off, /pol/.

Sorry you're out a couple hundred bucks, energyshitter

>every artifact block has had cards banned

>makes ANOTHER ONE while changing rotation so it's going to stay even more time legal

What's funny is only one of the artifacts (two if you count copter but it's been banned so long no one even remembers it) was problematic. It was all the other cards from the fucking block. In my opinion, they need to blow the format up, making Ixalan/Rivals the last block set. Once Dominaria comes out, they essentially restart it, making KAL-RIX modern only, and Dominaria the only usable set in Standard, essentially making it a one set format, then continue from there. It will never happen, but there's no way to fix this shitshow otherwise.

>muh /pol/

a few weeks late on that meme bub

>WotC makes an extremely strong mechanic with no way to interact with it
>players rightfully complain
>long while after release, MaRo says "well we could have done it differently"

Fun fact: He said this for Infect when Scars block was out. They did the exact same thing for energy and Kaladesh.

The entire design and testing teams need to be thrown off a cliff.

Energy is not "extremely strong" lol.

It's strong by it being completely impossible to interact with

Infect could easily be solved with a reverse proliferate effect. So could energy.

You guys are fucking stupid, the /pol/ position is that wotc and (((MaRo))) banned the cards to get more shekels from the idiot goyim buying new shitty sets (that will be banned in a few months anyway)

and yes maro is an actual kike

retard detected

The more incriminating fact is that Magic duels didn't have attune. They must've realized that it was broken before release.

Not being able to interact with it doesnt make it "extremely strong". Ramp decks arent "extremely strong" because we cant destroy lands.

he just heard someone say that once and is repeating it because it sounds high level, but in reality he is a poorfag shitter. he thinks that now he'll be able to afford a deck, but he won't. sad!

But you can stop ramp decks in many ways. There's no effect that removes energy unless you counter it.

Removing energy isn't how you stop energy, just like blowing up lands isn't how you stop ramp decks.

>you can't interact with energy unless you interact with it

If Amonkhet and Ixalan were strong instead of being intentionally weak we wouldn't have had an issue.

>ban announcement yesterday
>/pol/
What the fuck is wrong with your brain you screeching retard?

Just like they ruined Victoria's empire, IT, freelancing, the asian food market and islam.

Why are indians so corrosive?

Nobody cares about your boogeyman.

Not likely unless they actually adopt Frontier as a format.

Rumor has it Development and the FFL both asked for cards that targeted the energy resserve but MaRo absolutelly refusded because energy was his "magnum opus".

Stoddard and Forsythe have their own set of flaws, but MaRo is old and neurotic and if rumors are true is now pushing his weight around messing with departments that aren't his to oversee because of his seniority.

Let's hope Gardfield put him in his place for Dominaria.

Is it a rumor if its just shit you made up? I guess so, right?

Go back to plebbit shill. MaRo literally admits he didn't want energy to be interacted with in his blog.

Did I say he didnt?

The problem with energy is not a lack of interaction. A card that emptied somebody's energy wouldn't even be good. Anybody who thinks the problem with energy was that the mechanic couldn't be directly interacted with is naive. Some of my good friends believe this, but it's still wrong.

The problem with energy is that you can interact with every card in the deck, but the energy deck is filled with zero risk cards that generate value no matter what happens to them.

Look at rogue refiner. A 3/2 that draws a card and puts a +1/+1 counter on your longtusk cub generates value in three different ways. You would have to be fucking retarded to think that this would be less of a problem if there was a card that directly attacked their energy reserves.

Nah, Ixalan block will be together with Dominaria in standard.

Go look at deck representations in standard.

What's Frontier?

no actually the real reason attune was not in duels was because oath of nissa was available

source?

i think he is referring to
>if rumors are true is now pushing his weight around messing with departments that aren't his to oversee because of his seniority

not the fact that he loves his own mechanics

energy is good, but there have been plenty more broken decks

False

Zendikar was good. What broke CAWBlade was Batterskull. Before Batterskull mono black Vampires and Naya Allies could beat CAWBlade and those were Tier 2 decks.

That's the icon for Battle for Zendikar, not the original Zendikar set.

This DESU. Standard has sucked since at least DTK and the modern Eldrazi winter that came with B4Z was just icing on the goddamn cake

Well thats kinda the reason standards a thing anyway

Frontier is an unofficial format that starts with M15 and ends at current set.

DTK was fine. KTK with Fetchable Duals and DTK where everything else was really underpowered was not.

Because they shit on the streets and have disgusting delusions of grandeur.

>we can’t destroy lands

God how new can you be, there are like at least 3-5 Modern competitive ways of killing lands alone, in Legacy and Pauper you can kill lands using counterspells; just because you’re playing that Godawful Standard format doesn’t mean power doesn’t exist in Magic.
