It was in no danger of being broken...
If they meant nontoken, they'd have said it when it was printed. It wasn't left out in any sense except maybe they realized the card would have some use if it were allowed to use tokens. The errata on Great Whale/etc. was to stop them from being broken...
That's why Fork would be so fun: it's a challenge. Regrowth would just be insane though, I'd think. You could keep digging stuff out of your graveyard, so that you could use it whenever, not just during your upkeep...
I didn't say that the banned/restricted list serves no purpose. What I meant was that it is a list for Type I or Type 1.5. Criticizing someone for posting a casual decklist that uses multiple copies of cards that are restricted in Type I, on that basis, seems to be a bit uncasual though...
I'd imagine some would, if they wanted to...
They do have some advantages over dual lands, etc., however minor those might be...
What might be more fun though...
Restrict mountain!
Balance, Demonic Tutor, Timetwister, Ancestral Recall, Time Walk, Time Warp, Coercion, Hymn to Tourach, Soul Feast, Corrupt, Boomerang, Shahrazad, Abeyance, Lightning Bolt, etc.
But what I think would be most interesting, either Fork or Regrowth...
Easy to disrupt and abusive usually don't go together in decks that aren't insanely fast or in situations where they face underpowered opponents. It's definitely fun, but what does it really win against consistently? It's not as though there's some killer deck that the errata kills, it just...
Don't see how...
Yeah, Donate and Illusions weren't inteded to work that way. I call it serendipity though. Those kinds of things make the game interesting...
20 Moxen?
What is it exactly that from looking at his decklist makes you think he has even one? The format is called casual. Sorry if you've never heard of it. It goes something like this though, you can use cards from Magic: the Gathering because they were meant to be played. It's not...
Oh, Thought Prison, I thought you meant Icy Prison, for some reason...
I think I lost to this card once, when I was doing badly already. It's not just good against mono-color decks...
What are you talking about? I just said that was a lot of cards. I mean, to try to use them all in a deck? I was only talking about the need for narrowing it down, not refraining from making suggestions...
