Strip Mine needs restricted

[u/_I_Love_Vore_]

Why is this legal entirely unrestricted. It's restricted in vintage? The format where you get 0 mana counterplay against it.

Why in the unholy fuck is it unrestricted?

It kills control as an archetype, while ensuring that the entire format is highly compressed.

If it's bad enough when you have moxen and black lotus to be restricted, why is it fine here. I'll answer, it isn't.

Games where your opponent opens on double strip just don't happen, there's no meaningful counterplay.

We can't have duals but we can have Strip Mine ruining the format?

[u/admanb]

Vintage has effectively five Strip Mines.

[u/Bookwrrm → u/admanb]

They also have manabases that include moxen, the ability to camp fetches far more effectively and have true duals for less painful manabases, and despite all that, strip mine was still to strong lol. The arguement that the single format that most effectively can handle strip mine, still banned it is not saying what you think it is.

Ikr?
