Thank you so much for taking the time to write this reply . It really hit home for me , and makes me feel like I can do this and not only can , but need to . I know it it will be hard , but it really helps to think that the future could be so much better than the present . I hope you and your boys had a wonderful Thanksgiving . <| sep |> There are some good points you pointed out in your article but there are some things i would like to highlight Not all phyrexian mana spells are bad actually the only bad one is gitaxian probe , 1 Mana pay 4 life removal for Merfolk in form of Dismember isn ' t bad , what it do is introduce interactiveness to the format You talk about price of standard and suggest unbanning $ 80 card . That is not something which makes modern great again it simply makes modern more expensive . Jace is just 4 mana repeatable brainstorm engine with fetchlands in modern you have option for draw 3 or simply ancestral Why you don ' t argue ban fetchlands fetchlands are the real deal in modern , and without access to perfect 45 mana colourbase format would be a lot different . New format SfM argument imho is simply bad , unband this and ban this . card is broken and whenever Wotc wants to print equipment it has to look at this 2 mana tutor . i think modern without Force of Will can ' t have this card . why not suggest FoW for modern ? I know you hate blue colour but , why not simple elegant stop all crazy shit spell ? EDIT also Amalgam could stay , real problem is Narcomeba if you want to ban a card , ban Narco and dredge is done .
