Eggs are done

Ah I see.  My bad, then!

No, it's all good I am just annoyed that WotC says one thing then does another. Imagine how easy it would be to reprint staples for modern. They could make a lot of money by reprinting staples in the side projects (FTV, Duel Decks, Planeschase, etc). The secondhand market is a stupid argument too. Magic is a game first and an investment to make money second. The need to do what is best for the game, not for the collectors. Let the collectors have their Power 9 and duals. But was there any reason Remand could not have been printed in DGM? Blue already is weak, that card could have easily thrived there. What about the FNM promos? Why unplayable standard garbage? Why not an alternate art Inquisition of Kozilek? This is an easy problem to fix with many solutions. WotC is just too incompetent and greedy to do what is best for the game.

I'm just praying for some blue powerhouse counters and fetch reprints.  Onslaught or Zendikar.  Make standard enjoyable for everyone.  Balance the sets.  Don't favor one archetype in this block/set, then totally screw it over in the next block/set.  Allow all players to enjoy the game.  It seems like it should be somewhat simple.  RtR was pretty nice.  Gave {Sphinx's Revelation}, {Syncopate} (no {Remand}, but whatever,) and still kept some quick little guys like {Ash Zealot}, {Rakdos Cackler}, etc.  WotC is just messing up here.  Hopefully something changes soon and MtG doesn't just become a sinking ship that'll end up with just a few devoted players after the dust settles.

I agree. Control might as well be dead in standard. The new Hatebear mythic, the green flyer with pro blue, notion thief, etc. They just printed a bunch of cards to deal with Sphinx's Revelation. I am so tired of this nonsense. Magic is still a fun game, but why do they print all of this unbalanced crap? Remand would have been a nice one in DGM. With all of the control hate, it would have been a nice nod to blue. It would have also put more $10 uncommons back into circulation. Another wasted opputunity by WotC. Honestly, does it seem like they even care? I proposed this idea the other day. But if WotC does not even care, why should I?

I just hope the reason they banned eggs is because they are going to throw a lot of diversity at us in the theros block. Otherwise ill be PO'ed

Hopefully that is the case, but don't hold your breath. You know what Theros block needs? Onslaught fetches. That would help modern and legacy both. I doubt they will do that though. They will just make a special set when the decide to reprint them. Something along the lines of a product with a MSRP of like $80. That way stores like SCG and CFB can go ahead and charge $200+

TL;DR

DG is a little PO'ed

[Birdbrain]

Oh and DG. I say all this not realy liking eggs all that much. I just think it was stupid to ban the deck altogether. They should have just seriously crippled it, then slowly brought it back up as new decks emerged in modern

Again I agree (even though I play the deck). The excuse they gave about time was a lie (good eggs players can finish before time). They just said time was an issue because they did not want to admit they hate the deck and want stupid goodstuff decks to rule the format so they can sell their new unbalanced BS. I would have had more respect for WotC if they just would have said the deck was boring or to consistent. But time is just a lame excuse.

This. I'm glad to not have to see eggs, but this is too far, really.

I bet they would have said they were banning it because its boring if they could. Obviously wizards cares more about there reputation and were afraid people would quit the game if they said they were banning it because it was boring. I want to make a combo deck that opperates similar to eggs now, and find a way to qualify for the pro-tour, and show the deck to former eggs players

[Bozo_Law]

Eggs was a reasonable deck before Faith's Reward so I could see it being a fringe deck.

It would have sounded stupider of they said it was boring to play against. But at least  they would be telling the truth. I would be annoyed, but I would still have respect for the company for night trying to cover up their motives. Honesty goes a long way with me.

lets try to come up with eggs like decks and find a way to show them to former eggs players that play in the protour and world championships. Not to get back at wizards, but as a peaceful protest to the banning of the deck. Then maybe they might bring it back

I have already been working ideas in my head since this morning. Please pm me a list of that modern deck you are trying to build. I cannot open it up in the deck viewer for some reason.

[Crapshooter]

You know, this may be late in the discussion, but the least they could do is unban something fun, I'm voting for at least  {Mental Misstep} make the format more enjoyable and help new decks
