      @@ashdog9235 Gavin pointed out in an article that the low win% is because mono-red was almost always winning game 1, but most decks have so much hate for it in the sideboard that it won game 2 and 3 a lot more rarely. So essentially, it was very strong, there's just hate for it in pauper (Blue Elemental Blast and Hydroblast in particular)... but that does completely skew the format still.

    The reason the Fury ban was so important is because fury was the 8th scannable card. Now with only one scam target (Grief) there isn’t enough incentive to run 8 undying evils and that greatly reduces the consistency of scam. Ofcourse could and probably will pivot to Orzhov but the question is, is playing the white cards anywhere near as good as the red cards? We will see

      @@stormycat0905 to a SINGLE X/1, that point can be argued. The problem is that you don't take into account the creature decks that are ripped apart by Fury. Bowmasters COSTS two mana and kills ONE creature on ETB. Fury gets as many as FOUR creatures upon ETB, while doing so for "free." It isn't even close.
      One for one trades are fine, and SHOULD be what the game encourages. I play a lot of mana dorks; I always have since I first learned about ramp way back in 1997. I've NEVER had a problem with someone "bolting the bird," because it's a one for one trade. I spend my mana and play my card, the opponent spends their mana and plays their card, and we've each spent one mana and used one card.
      Fury comes in and changes the landscape because it ignores the need to play well. It absolutely decimates Elf ramp, or Goblins, or Merfolk. At its absolute best, it's an 8 for 3, leaving a fast clock behind. Even at its most basic, it's a 4 for 2. This doesn't even allow a deck like Elves to begin to play. Goblins is even worse off. Maybe Merfolk can do better, but it can't perform well enough to bother sleeving up. Even Humans, which was a tier deck for quite a while, has completely disappeared. People want to play these decks, but they can't even begin to with Fury around.

    • @WitherFang

    I think the Pioneer bans were reasonable, but I'm a little surprised that Smuggler's Copter got unbanned. The problem with that card wasn't that it was broken, but it so ubiquitous that it went into so many decks. I get that they want to help out Aggro decks, but I'm not sure this is the correct option. Especially, if it gets banned again.
    As for Modern, I'm fine with Fury going but I don't know if it's enough to get Aggro decks relevant in Modern again. As for Up the Beanstalk, that one feels like a band aid banning. Wotc is never gonna stop printing cards that cheat on cost and they wanted something that hit Cascade decks and Omnath, but it also hurts weaker decks like Affinity.

    I am somewhat hopeful for modern. Yes scam still exists in some way or form, but the issue before was that Fury would single handedly mow down any board, thereby beating all creature based decks. Yes it was very hostile to X/1's, but the issue was that no matter how much you build up a scammed fury could do 8 damage, take out two lords and two other creatures with no effort.
    X/1 is still a risky statline with bowmaster around to be sure, but if you stick a human and a lord bowmaster won't be enough unless you draw a fair bit extra.
    Also planeswalkers can be played again without automatically dying to fury.
    That card single handedly gatekept any deck trying to stick a creature of any size to the board.

    @trevoris18 7 месяцев назад +1

    Honestly I'm willing to bet that fury going away will be enough to put scam into a reasonable place. The difference between fury and grief is that fury closes the game much faster. Where scamming a grief has the same problem as all discard decks, your opponent can just draw out of it. Using 3 cards to discard two cards from your opponent and you get a 4/3 menace is good but nothing modern can't handle. If you have removal for the Grief it's a 3 for 3. And yes you can use ephemerate to get triple discards but white and solitude sucks in rakdos scam's game plan. Scam was so good because it could kick it's opponent while they were down. Flickering solitude just gives decks more time to turn the corner. A wicked role fury is a three turn clock, a wicked role grief or solitude is 5 and if you ephemerate either of those two it's 8 since ephemerate will reset it's summoning sickeness.
    Also Orzov scam fell off the initial hype for reason, sure it wins sometimes but an unfun deck winning sometimes is not a reason to be banned. Once upon a time lantern control was a deck that won sometimes and that was truly miserable.

      @collinbeal 7 месяцев назад +3

      That would take a major rules rewrite, because right now, every single card, even tokens and lands, has a mana value and a color identity. It's a core element of how the rules allow the game to function. Tokens that aren't copies of permanents have a mana value of 0, as do lands. 0 mana value is the baseline for all things. Lands' color identity is colorless, which is why there are special rules about what lands you can use in an EDH deck. What you're asking for is a rehaul of the system that would be on par with the Sixth Edition rules changes, so for a fringe case like this, it will absolutely never happen.

    I like the Fury ban in Modern. As Crim suggested, banning all the elementals is nonsensical. Endurance is a decent card, but Fury is/was *significantly* more powerful. Granting Grief a pass is curious, while passing on One Ring is eyebrow-raising. Even as a casual player with limited purview, I noticed how many bloody decks cram the One Ring into it.
    Props for the basketball speak. Nerds and jocks need not be mutually exclusive. We can be multi-faceted creatures. I had been a pro hoops fan for a solid two decades before MtG even entered my life. I like them both. Gimme defense. I began watching in the early 90's when teams cared more about defense, while having fewer stringent rules contravening defense. Offense seems to be typically lauded as the more "interesting" style. Yawn. Scoring 140 points is lame, when each play and score holds very little value. Scoring 140 while surrendering 150 is extra mega disgraceful. Interestingly, my exclusive style of MtG play - control - translates into the brand of basketball and team I like: defense, control, mitigation, grit. Anyone else jive with that?

    Appraiser is a good hit due to the whole "single card win con" thing. I havent lost to the deck but it warps the format. Karn is a great ban, i have multiple artifact decks i cant wait to play again. Mono green karn was also so dreadful to play against. As others have echoed here and reddit, I have shown up to RCQs just to play mono G 3 games out of 4. It stagnated the format so much that no one comes to my local now. Maybe it will start firing again. Nykthos was "fine" not to ban in my eyes but I guess it will really depend on what new decks come out of the bans. I would love to see devotion decks for each other color make a resurgence.
    When it comes to modern the bans are good but not hitting grief still sucks. And I guess violent outburst just because its instant speed cascade. I went to monday night modern at my LGS right after the ban and was still griefed turn 1 of game 1, but what can you do.

      Because they want to print problem cards.
      Modern Horizons 2 was a dangerous precedent for the game because it was one of the first sets that it's tough to argue anything toxic in it was a "mistake." For one of their first spoiler previews of the set, they discussed how Grief would be generically good as another unmask, an evasive beater, and potential synergy with Ephemerate that would make it a stronger turn one Though-Knot Seer, when turn two Thought-Knot Seers were enough to ruin the format.

If this does happen, it will bw many years from now, and it wont be recognizable.

      Fury was suppressing a lot of decks down but was also a 3-turn clock on turn one. With Fury banned, we might see a resurgence of more low-to-the-ground creature decks. Bowmaster is good but isn't a 3-turn clock on turn one either.

  • @sandpiperbf9767
    @sandpiperbf9767 7 месяцев назад

    I'm glad Crim doesn't run mtg B&R. He would basically throw the whole format in the trash it seems. Most of the elementals are fine, and I think it could be argued that subtlety, solitude, and endurance are actually necessary for the format to function at this point. The format would pretty quickly devolve at this point imo if there were no elementals and nothing else to fill in the void.
    While grief is the more immediately annoying part of scam also, but fury is the reason they had a good late game vs more aggressive tempo decks. Fury can wipe an entire board when it appears that you've stabilized against scam. And generally, the card also was leaned on to some extent in almost every red deck

    I'm really glad that banned fury in modern, but beans did not deserve it. Beans would have done nothing if it weren't for all of the free elementals and the one ring is just going to run rampant again. I think that modern just shouldn't have free interaction, I don't think free proactive spells are that bad but free interaction is really stifling. Cascading into something at the cost of not being able to play much interaction is fine but when Cascade decks can play interaction is the problem, and thats what all these free spells are doing
