Blue-How easy is it? Debate

[LinkCelestrial]

All in all, if you're going to bitch about something so central to magic, go play something else.

I'm not bitching, merely stating an opinion based on facts. Just like you. I'd rather play this. Why is your answer "go play something else"? that isn't helpful...it solves nothing...

Opinion based on facts is still an opinion. Same goes for my opinion, this is a subjective discussion.

It is helpful. If it's as violently oppressive as you claimed (you've backpedaled a bit but I understand that as your first comments were clearly over exaggerated (or I suck at reading people)) then why play magic? If you can't handle it it's not about to change. You could make your own format, but then is it really magic?

I also like how you take the weakest part of my argument and attack it. It's a very fun technique to leave bait like that.

Again no offence. I have thick skin and don't take things personally, but I'm me.

You guys are all wrong

Colorless is the only way to play with real balls

Okay, let's be honest here, blue is an easy color to manipulate—IF you know what your blue deck is intending to do. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the other colors as much as the next guy, but the fact is, blue is a unique color in the sense that it takes actual thinking to play(not that black control is doesn't need thinking either). But the complexities of cards and interactions in blue is so vast that when you play a blue mage and they beat you, you really don't know how they won until you take a look at their deck. The famous example I can think of was Zendikar-Scars block decks that ran {Jace, the Mind Sculptor}. Yes, the cards was broken and banned, yes it was a ver very powerful card. But it was powerful in the sense that it needed to be operated by a person who knew how to use him, the other cards that one had to use to get to the point that Jave beat you, and the amount of brainpower used by your opponent. A personal favorite example of mine are {Stasis} decks. Those used to kick ass. Why? Because people were aware of the cards that needed to be used to lock down the board({Forsaken City}, Palinchron}, etc.) The deck had so little "stage appeal that you'd get bored after awhile. But when playing, the turns you take before you proceed to beat them aren't in vain. Those turns are threre to be sure you survive. As a blue player myself, I enjoy the complex decisions I have to make in my Teferi EDH deck(Kaylesh, you read the list. You know what I mean). So all in all, before I repeat myself. Blue is a hard color to learn that requires experience and a brilliant mind to even barely operate.
