That tap tap concede is so generally correct that the unhinged, ridiculous things being said stand out really wildly.

I particularly am shocked by the idea that 'the rules committee should leave mana crypt alone and print the card into oblivion.'

The commander rules committee DIDN'T PRINT CARDS. THAT IS NOT A TOOL AVAILABLE TO THEM.

The conversation around Rendmaw was really funny too because Ben complained that it too obviously shows him a lane when I immediately went 'oh hey, how many kindred cards are there in those colours'

Also, the complaining about cards that are simple for new players in approachable content like precons is some hyper-invested tcg brained expert bullshit

I may be tainted by the experience of teaching a room full of adults to play new games every semester and watching the ways they handle new information without 20+ years of experience with one hyper complicated game, but complaining that wizards keeps making tricycles when YOU'VE not needed one for YEARS is silly.

@Talen_Lee Even if WotC wanted to print the card into oblivion, even if they printed it at rare they'd have to sell 4-5 times the annual product they usually do to bring the value of the card down.
