@Roaringliger1 @_Memo_4302 Just because bans are likely to come from the GC list doesnt mean the GC cards are likely to be banned

@CajunJynx @GavinVerhey I said naus and necro are non deterministic, not that they slow the game down I said cards like rule of law slow the game down I get that you dont like the card but cmon man if youre gonna accuse me of acting in bad faith at least read the message first

@TolariaEast_ Is there any chance this is viable? This is the type of stuff id jam if so

@Zakana57 @joyouswizardry @GavinVerhey Modern is a totally different format than cedh and is not really comparable at all. It should have been emergency banned there right away, but the outrage for it in cedh likely just stems from the outrage in modern

@Zakana57 @joyouswizardry @GavinVerhey One nadu trigger should take anywhere from 3-5 seconds to resolve. Add in an extra 10 for making a token on land drop. This means that nadu triggers to go through 70 cards and 30 lands that all generate a token or mana on entry should take you 650 seconds or 10 min

@Zakana57 @joyouswizardry @GavinVerhey If you get scute swarm in play and have the trigger that makes scute swarm copies go off 5 times you will have 32 scute swarms. In almost every time i have played the deck you will end that with more nadu triggers available than cards in library making it deterministic then

@Zakana57 @joyouswizardry @GavinVerhey Also if you take a 45 minute turn without slowplaying then the table is making you manually run out the cephalid coliseum loop or something, theres 0 chance that happens

@Roaringliger1 @_Memo_4302 Thats not how that list works at all though? Its specifically there SO our cards arent axed for casual purposes

@joyouswizardry @GavinVerhey Either the judges were super wrong or they werent really playing a 45 minute turn. Its not hard to determine what you need to do given 90% of flips so a nadu pilot should be able to rattle off the triggers, also once they have a scute swarm that triggers 5 times its deterministic

@CajunJynx @GavinVerhey Ad naus isnt deterministic, necro isnt deterministic Also fun is very subjective, its the most fun ive ever had playing a deck Also also, why should a card be banned bc games go to time? Rule of law, ouphe, force of will. These all make games go longer than nadu does

@ComedIanMTG If you want to play something less fringe, Kenrith has felt really good and has some major sisay vibes

@BunnyJoBurton Mld has just been hated for a while, but looping extra turns is essentially a combo which is what they were referring to. They arent saying you cant just chuck out a random time warp as a pseudo card draw/haste enabler spell

@joyouswizardry @GavinVerhey Id rather see you call a judge for slowplay, if someone really is taking that long then they either dont know the deck, are stalling, or poorly constructed their deck. Also decks like krarkashima, Flubs, and apm intensive breach decks take just as long as nadu if not longer

@HalleniumGaming They specifically said this is a guide meant for when you are playing with people you dont know and want to play around the same level. You can easily say its a one with a tithe in it. I dont really think this one case is enough to call the whole system trash…
