How many artifacts must a mono-blue multiplayer deck contain to make the inclusion of Tolarian Academy over an Island or some other land a smart move?
Why do people ignore the b/r lists and not ignore the other rules? Because those other rules you mentioned appear in the Comp. Rules. They are a larger part of the game. The Tournament Rules, on the other hand, are just that. The Tournament Rules. Besides, nobody ever said that you have to play with these people who do these things, like I mentioned in my previous post.To me using cards beyond the Type I banned and restricted list is the opposite of casual. It is an impolite, deliberate power grab that doe not belong in a casual group seeking fun. If "casual" to some people means ignoring rules like the banned/restricted list, then why not ignore other rules like four card maximum, minimum deck size, tapping to attack, etc.? You would really have a casual game then.
You hit the nail on the head. "What you would call casual". People shouldn't have to defend their choice of "casual" or their definition of "casual". And as I said before, you don't have to play with those people.You have just described yourself as not being causal about the cards. You are casual about the rules, but not the cards. You seem to value the appearance of certain cards, which are probably power cards to help you win, as being more important than restricting cards designed to help keep the play of the game fair and what I would call casual.
