@salieri @MysticKetchup it's technically possible, but fairly difficult to organize millions of players across the world, especially for something so decentralized. And we just had a community controlled version that collapsed due to online hate. Who wants the job now?
@mike @nokturne213 I fully agree from this, especially with corporate's push to minimize costs (aka employees).
@mike @blubfisch
I feel the same, though I do think it's correct for them to step in to create a shield if the community is going to be garbage like this. *sigh* This is why we can't have nice things
@luxyr42 @mike Obviously we haven't seen this enacted yet, but I wonder if it'll end up being similar to the Arena Historic Brawl ranking system.
I know Amazonian has run into issues where including a high-power card in a low-power deck bumps her up to a high-power tier despite playing a pile of durdle cards.
I guess that's what the conversation is for.
But also, there's never been a good way to rank commander deck power so *shrug* can't be worse than what we already have
@mike I think with the "shouldn't have been printed vs should be printed into the ground" thing, the idea is it shouldn't have been printed in the first place because it's bad for the format, which is also why it should be banned. But given the reality that it was printed, it should at least not be strongly gate-kept due to price, creating a high amount of inequality. Especially because that high price limits options later.
@driving_crooner @nokturne213 if it could have been anything like Arcane, it would have been fantastic
@andrew @MysticKetchup I'm also surprised they didn't ban around it. I guess it's because they originally intended it to just be a commander card, so they're okay with it not being in Modern?
@Postmortal_Pop @KoboldCoterie isn't all this covered under the explicit Rule 0 discussion point? Where you say "yeah this card is in my deck but I'm not using it optimally so think the deck is a lower tier"
