Still, especially now with Iona's printing, Survival and Entomb were pretty much necessary bans.
This is exactly the kind of thinking that gets us into these discussions.
"Uh-oh, there's a new card that makes X, Y, and Z broken! We should ban X, Y and Z."
WRONG! Ban the new card! If everyone has such a problem with Iona, ban her! Why ban multiple cards when you can just ban one?
Now, don't get me wrong, I agree with the banning of Survival and Entomb, I'm just using this as an example. (Sorry to pick on you, Dreamer )Quote from: Kassow-Rossing on 09-04-2010, 12:01:50 AM
And well to the Kiki-Jiki combo Buried Alive:
As the council tells us. The combo is a too fast and dangerous. Will be boring to play with and against.
Kiki-Jiki is the most fun and less overpowered of the two, so it should stay. Buried can be abused in many ways. Kiki-Jiki is just a cool card for FIVE mana lets you combo. Can also be used on a casual level for anything else. Buried is just always bad for a format.
So Kiki got unbanned, Buried got banned. Everybody should be happy because it can't be any other way.
The combo isn't Buried Alive/Kiki, it's Kiki/Pestermite and the combo still exists! Doesn't anyone else see this?
IMHO, there is no reason why Buried Alive should be banned.
You´ll also need karmicguide in grave ;-)
Not necessarily. If I draw Kiki and Pestermite, I still win.
