@GoingMadlem why is "show up in legacy" the power benchmark? Spell pierce is amazing in legacy but bad in standard, cards have context

@MeditronS CONTEXT - if a card is only good in standard, it does not have a "pushed power level" ... it means the rest of standard is weak

@GoingMadlem so is rev a weak card to you?

@MeditronS like Jace TMS wasn't that powerful in relation to Bloodbraid ... pushing all the power of a set to a few cards is not a set make

@GoingMadlem minds desire saw next to no standard play and would still be unplayable

@MeditronS agreed, some cards are good in the WHOLE of magic, like Mind's Desire but unplayable in standard. HIGH POWER LEVEL

@GoingMadlem no it's contextual power level based on the confines of the format

@MeditronS compared to Theros, Ironclaw Orcs would be powerful ... that doesn't make it pushed power level
