Just one remark : Baral was nerfed not because it was too powerful but because players were facing long AI loops

"This change will remove the infinite cycling ability Baral has while keeping his strong affinity for spells"
So the fact that it was too strong had nothing to do with it. But they should consider it is a really good reason to nerf a card and Omniscience and Swarm should in my opinion get the treatment also. And let's hope Ixalan will not come with new obviously overpowered cards

wickedwitch74 said: It feels like a "rage quit "card, for sure.That said...I just won the lottery and plucked one from the Masterpieces vault, so please don't nerf it until I have had my way abusing all of you with it.@Esdjco82 Thanks for founding a great website. Saffron's article about Puzzle Quest is what originally led me to this game. I very much enjoy your content.

I have to disagree with you slightly. New Perspectives is the issue rather than cycling itself. Without New perspectives, there isn't any "free mana" for cycling.

Yes, I should have been more explicit. When I said cycling, I meant NP, which is the engine. MtG the card game has been burned by printing "Engine" cards over the years, cards which completely break the game.MtG:PQ should learn from these examples, and be extra careful when it comes to creating cards that could potentially be used as "Engines".
wereotter said: Omniscience in this game is, interestingly, weaker than its paper counterpart as in paper magic it just makes every card you play free until the enchantment goes away (or support in this case). It doesn't get weaker based on how many spells you cast for free.
bken1234 said: The difference between Baral and Omni is that one is a mythic and one is a masterpiece — I maintain masterpieces should be more powerful than mythics and they shouldn’t be compared as to which is more broken. Also again — Omni is only broken if you have other key cards to make it sing — and also if you pull it. I have insane Omni decks that have lost simply because they depend on it and it wasn’t pulled.
