Just keep in mind that any set from Invasion to Fifth Dawn is going to me largely unsophisticated, with tons of cards focusing on the same particular thing (depending on the block). However, as far as brokenness goes, Mirrodin block is certainly the best place to look since Urza's block.

Yes, but you are excluding the bad cards in the original set and only applying "boundary" to the very best cards. It makes perfect sense that the cards which were found to be too good when the game was new are not being improved upon. The ones that sucked or were merely mediocre, you choose not...

I think Limited is right. The only card I can think of that can put itself in your opponent's graveyard is Tempest Efreet...

Not sure. It doesn't seem like it would be very problematic...

Volcanic Hammer is pretty bad. I'd stay away from it when possible. It shouldn't be difficult to get some burn cards that are better (Incinerate comes to mind, but even Shock might be better than Volcanic Hammer).

I first thought of Spellbane Centaur too. There are not a lot of untargeted blue spells that deal damage to creatures. I can't think of any right now...

I never did this much myself (maybe I should have), but for building on a budget, you might get affordable ideas from decklists for the Peasant format, which cannot use rares and has limited access to uncommons. If nothing else it can give you a vague idea of which commons and uncommons are...

I don't really have a clue about that... What sort of positions does WotC have in North of Houston?

Inebriate

Really?

I'm thinking it should be a creature enchantment. But I guess it could be anything (although it doesn't look at all like an artifact).

The Abyssal Knight seems a bit too good. Black Knight is already pretty nice, but if it can save itself from removal spells and the like, that's even better...

But some of what might be termed boundaries HAVE been surpassed. The best example I can think of is the Counterspell one. Mana Drain was printed in a later set. The quality of a straight counter with UU for the cost was surpassed in Legends. Most other examples I can think of do have some...

So yeah. As you can probably tell, Darthferret, they did the artifact-heavy block thing and made a lot of really good cards. Mirrodin was easly the most broken block since Urza's block. It wasn't so bad as Urza's for broken cards, but it has had quite the impact on every tournament format where...

That's what everyone calls anywhere, unless they live there--then it's "this godforsaken country."

Protection from blue spells? Well, it's never been done before, but it seems like it could work--as well as making things more fair to blue players...

I don't know why you would be using Sage Owl... I guess it would only be fair to make the colorless damage crappy, since they did the same to red...

:eek: The whole "tasteless joke warning" only made that more hilarious. Wow...

Not sure what you're referring to there...

I'm sure that's what he had in mind (well, he already confirmed that anyway). But it wasn't stated in the post... You could say the same about any set though, now that I think about it. Those sets just won't have as many broken cards... I could say, "no set surpasses the limits created by...
