Mostly agree with these. And I'm pretty happy with the bracket model so far. It does however require everyone at the table to be using the intent in good faith, and not strictly looking at the letter of the law.
I'm blown away that Mana Drain didn't make the list. I feel guilty playing it at all, and have even taken decks apart that I felt became too powerful because of it. It's one of those cards that when I see it used, I'm like "Oh, I didn't realize we were playing at that power level".
I'm also surprised to see Gamble & Deflecting Swat on the list. I feel like they looked at the list and said "We've got to also include some red cards too. But nothing in red is all that great. Well, shit. What does red have that's cheap to cast?"
@ptc075 @MysticKetchup pretty sure that literally any system is going to require that people use it in good faith. It's casual. No way to avoid the fact that lying exists.
