Wow. Calling me a crybaby? Over what? I've never had a bad experience over the card. My driving point before was that the Faeries deck kept me out of standard due to an environment with a lack of variance (which is horrible for any era of magic).
I never asked for you to retract your nomination but merely gave my (heated) argument as to why I believe it shouldn't be considered.
I mentioned I'd be insulted as a casual player, but I'll get over being insulted (have you SEEN what the guys on this site have called me over the years?!?!).
Did I ever, EVER mention that limited wasn't fun or casual? Absolutely not. I love sealed deck and draft. BUT, I do keep separate hats when I play this game. I would build a tournament ready deck in a much different way than I would build a deck for me (i.e.: Competitive) and my buddies to mess around with (i.e.: Casual).
There is a HUGE difference to being adamant about ones own opinion and being a crybaby. Being a crybaby would be being irrational because you don't agree with my opinion about something and whining when you don't change your mind due to what I say. I don't expect to change your mind about the card, but I will take every advantage I can to sway the judges opinions away from that choice.
Lastly, and please don't take this as an attack against you because I'm not intending it to be, I think that you have too much of a competitive, serious sense of what casual means in the big picture. You have proven yourself to be a very competent and intelligent magic player, but I fear that you confuse "cards that are good" and "cards that are fun." Look at the
list of HOF selections we have so far. Radiate? Two-Headed Giant? Phage the Untouchable? Marrow Gnawer? Jhoira of the Ghitu? How many times have you played with these cards without thinking "This card is lame," if at all.

I'd rather lose every game in any tournament ever than stomp people who can't put cards in their deck that actually improve the level of quality of the game.
So, you wouldn't find MrPestilence's Razing Snidd deck or Zadok's Greater Good decks (pre-Kamigawa) worth time playing against because they chose to make a decent deck out of cards they enjoy over following the tournament scene and reading articles to streamline their deck?
Ransac, cpa trash man
