You have 1/9th the karma as you do posts. It seems as though no one cares to discuss anything with you at all. Still salty his favorite card was banned. But I guess you know better than they do.
At my LGS there was a vote on if it should be banned.
1 Person voted no. Out of over thirty votes.
He owned multiple copies.
We are all wrong, too, I guess.
The format is better without it. Period.
Comes from a new guy who already made a negative
karma. *slow clap*
Besides that, read a little closer what I've wrote. I haven't judged their decision, I've just wrote what I think. I don't like to insult people because they have a different opinion than mine. And the "please correct me if I'm wrong" wasn't a empty phrase. That's what I remembered from the paradox ban as the official reason. If I remembered wrong here, I've got no problems with correcting myself.
And please do me a favour and explain me why I should be still "salty" because of my favorite card banned. I've just said it's sad, but that's all. The engine wasn't even a favorite of mine and wasn't that present in my decks at the time it got banned.
Hmm.. I'm slowly asking myself, why I write this whole stuff, you've got 6 posts here right now, and not even in a single one you've tried to bring some arguments for your opinion.
@MustaKota
I've just said that it's, in my opinion, not that much better, and I've wrote the pro and con for the new card. For the typical labman combos, you've got a mana and a draw engine, draw your whole library and play the labman in between. unless you need to need to resolve the stack in between, you can just ignore alot of possible interactions.
What makes the
Oracle interesting is that she drops some cards from the library as ETB. This means you can't just play a removal on her to stop the combo. But you still need to empty your library enough so that the devotion is high enough for the win. This means the other players could for example remove other of your cards in order to reduce your devotion. And if the initial ETB fails, you can't use her anymore unless you've got some stuff to make her etb trigger again (
flicker etc.). This is far from impossible, but again requires additional cards.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to say the
Oracle is bad, I personally just don't think it's THAT much better than the alternatives.
@robort about EDH vs cEDH you're somewhat right. It isn't that easy to seperate here. It's somewhat like in alot of other games, different abilities/cards/champions/whatever do a entirely different job on different powerlevels. For example at League of Legends, I remember times where Akali was feared around Silver Elo, but at Platin+ she was next to never played.
Because of this, I often mention that I talk from my kitchen table
experience, so that others got a rough idea of my perspective. That's also the reason why I usually don't write comments for 1k %u20AC+ decks, becuase on that powerlevel, I usually don't care and therefore don't know that much about 20%u20AC+ cards.
/edit: I've just discussed with a friend about the
Oracle and at one point I have to agree with him: for
Doomsday she's better than Labman.
Btw @Danky, maybe calculate again, 382/1299 is a little more than 1/9 or 11%
