You said recently that when analyzing complaints you identify the underlying cause vice taking face value. As a blue commander player I admit our toolbox is just better than other colors, and I think that's what this is really about. Power Vac seems very blue to me, but it does further cover one of our very few weaknesses. Yes, this imbalance is due to old magic, but it might be nice to scale up the efficiency for other colors to meet blue. For lovers of EDH, abandoning it isn't on the table.

Here’s the problem. We’re not going to unbalance current Magic to make up for early imbalances in the color pie. As I often say, we can’t hold the future of Magic hostage to the past.If you play a format where you allow cards from the first seven or so years of Magic, it’s just going to lean towards certain colors, especially blue. There are a plenty of formats to play that don’t make use of the early years and thus are more balanced colorwise if that’s an important issue to you.
