@TizonaDelZid@playtowinmtg If you know that then you'd know it isn't a dead and useless card 🙄 you're the one throwing all these dismissive comments. So let's say Thoracle is an issue and is therefore in every deck. Then Angel's Grace isn't a "dead" card as you can use it in the majority of games.
@TizonaDelZid@playtowinmtg Deflecting swat is a form or counter spell. You said the colours had no counter spells. Banning Thoracle isnt going to change the interaction arms race. Blue will always have the best interaction. Banning Thoracle does nothing.
@TizonaDelZid@playtowinmtg Then with Return the Favor you can either copy the Thoracle trigger and cast your own Demonic Consult|Tainted pact and win OR copy/redirect a counter spell. There are so many options for white.
@TizonaDelZid@playtowinmtg That's literally every game of cedh.. I don't know if you know this but banning Thassa isn't going to stop the format from having tons of interaction and changing the coin toss of who has more interaction.
@TizonaDelZid@playtowinmtg If you get a god hand, turn 2. And the free counter spells were in reference to having to work to get to resolve the Thassa. There are other turn 2 combos too and breach is far more popular.
@CourtJestCowboy@playtowinmtg It isn't a rare event. It's the biggest cEDH event on the west coast.. it had 295 players. The event you are comparing it to had 95.... If any one is cherry picking, its you.
