I'd just call it "really bad." Six counterspells is not enough disruption for a monoblue deck to function with a control-based strategy, and it's not going to help as part of an aggro strategy. There might be some strange decks that use 4-6 counterspells with good reason, but I don't recall ever...

Was that his "wild card" deck?

I know I already mentioned it once before, but Lotus Petal is nice for mana acceleration. It allows for Muscle Sliver or even Crystalline Sliver as a one-drop, which is a lot better than first turn Metallic Sliver.

Heh, too bad High Tide wasn't reprinted...

"I" can consult any good dictionary and find that abuse means (among other things) "application to a wrong or bad purpose." As in "abuse of authority." As in "drug abuse." As in "Nether Void decks abuse Sinkhole." As in "Exalted Angel can seriously abuse Mana Drain." Nothing about the word...

It seems that with the new layout on the site, forums which were last updated on the current date or the previous one say "today" or "yesterday" accordingly, instead of the actual date. I really don't like this because the clock on the CPA or whatever is not set to the same time zone as my own...

Because the whole world is out to get you. Why are we all trying to get Izaryo?

There's no sauerkraut on the moon either... :(

Blastoderm

1) I'm not sure. I think it should be bigger than Arabian Nights. 2) I don't see any need for "mechanics." Every set has some sort of theme and I don't see why ours would not. 3) A good set should work well with both. I think we should keep as many formats in mind as we possibly can. 4)...

I think Lunkheads without Soap.

It will take some getting used to...

Eternal Witness is pretty fun in Survival-based decks... Regrowth is a stronger card overall. I would rather deal with Witness, personally...

Wow, I've encountered bad playing a lot, but playing blue control never seemed to me to be something that was all that difficult (compared to certain other strategies).

Whoa, I said that they were staples which had been around since the beginning of the game. I didn't say that they were staples because they had been around since the beginning of the game. I don't think that they are seen all the time anymore. Nothing in my reasoning would indicate that Pearled...

To be fair, just taking out the artifact lands and replacing them with basics would possibly weaken the deck more than allowing the whole thing to be built from scratch with a lack of artifact lands taken into account...

Yeah, this guy definitely has potential in casual play. Ancestral Knowledge might be really cool here...

I still think Swords to Plowshares...

No, I don't think that abusing a concept is the necessarily same as "breaking" it or finding an infinite combo of some sort. In any case, morph is a mechanic that works outside of Limited (although not very many of the morph creatures are particularly good). I don't know about ninjutsu yet though...
