Thoughts on land hate in EDH?

I completely agree, Dudecore. I hope you weren't assuming the comments I made were  indicating that ANY piss needs to be drained from LD. Rather, I do believe EDH has a great propensity for balancing out both in terms of house rules (when banning cards for an evening is fine) or when 2 or more players band together to shut down the guy who comes out swinging. I think its delightful when everyone goes balls to the wall after the player who sets out an Uril or Kaalia (I've been that guy ;) ) or against the guy who starts blowing up lands on turn 2 or 3 (I've LOVED being that guy). You can bring whatever deck you want but it might bring down the gauntlet from everyone else. 2 player EDH is a bit more touchy. I think you have to establish some expectations for which decks to play with your opponent so you get a more even and enjoyable match.

As for competitive play, I simply have no interest in it or knowledge of its rules of etiquette.
