@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

@GoingMadlem so rhino, knuckle, sarkhan, butcher, murderous cut, not pushed power level?

@MeditronS they are along the lines of Thragtusk, Huntmaster, Falkenrath Aristocrat ... big fish in a shallow pond

@GoingMadlem but those are all powerful cards too, you're just taking an eternal format perspective. Standard isn't legacy/vintage/modern

@MeditronS I think Khans is weaker than ravnica block, so I see no context where the "power level" of Khand is higher at all

@GoingMadlem I'm comparing standard to standard, in the context of standard formats this is one of most high powered since the ala-zen-sca
