Definitely agree with you there! Booster draft is where the rubber meets the road, when it comes down to deckbuilding. Everyone gets the exact same chance at good cards, and it all comes down to who can use their resources the best.

No-rares is also an excellent format.

Standard is the best, because it is the most balanced format.

No way. Just play Ents and forest nazgul and it’s over. No balance.

Both of which are possible in any other format except Block format, no-Rares format, and booster draft. Bib said it was the "most balanced", not that it was entirely balanced. Move to Expanded or Open, and now all you did was make those decks relatively less broken, since there’s even more broken decks out there.

Yeah, you can run those combos in Expanded, but your ents will have to face Shotgun Enquea and Co.

In other words, Expanded is the most balance because the bigger card pool allows more combinations specific for killing.

Okay, Standard is now EXTREMELY unfair since it X-ED MADRIL!!!!!!!

That’s right. Madril, Defender of Osgiliath is now X-ed!!!!!!!! That stinks. ITS NOT FAIR!!!!

Well...I am now going to continue playing expanded and open.

I never saw Madril as an NPE. Ithilien Blade should have gone... or Isengard Ruined with Saruman, Servant of Sauron around the corner.

Luckily Courtyard Parapet is only X-ed in Standard format... otherwise that would have completely ripped apart one of my Expanded decks.
