Is there a place (or perhaps a survey) where I can express my insactisfaction with the announced Supreme Verdict promo for the next qualifier season? I'm sure there's a public for this sort of card treatment, but surely tournament players largely prefer promos that look more like traditional cards, no?

I think we’re trying different things to see what players enjoy most.How do the rest of you feel about the Supreme Verdict promo?

There are definitely formats that want 4 mana wraths, but those formats already have them - Supreme Verdict is in Historic. Most standard formats don't have aggro decks fast enough to handle 4 mana Wraths, and you don't really want most standard formats to have aggro decks that fast. Really, people. You don't!

A good point that the formats that need it, already have it.

To the person asking about Supreme Verdict, Counterflux also costs 3 colored mana

Good point.

In your podcast you mentioned there's always a little bleed. Would you consider the "cannot be countered" ability from Blue on Supreme Verdict to be part of that?

Blue is tertiary in “can’t be countered”. Supreme Verdict was not the first time it was used. I believe it was first used on Last Word from Darksteel.

You've said that red gets uncounterable instants and socieries, and that green gets uncounterable creatures. This makes sense, as those are both of their focuses, and they both want to hate on blue, as their enemy. So why do blue and white get uncounterable in Supreme Verdict?

Blue is tertiary in “can’t be countered”. It got the “can’t be countered” counterspell a few years ago, for instance.

I see my question about black wrath effects caused some stir. Good. Anyway, what I meant was, are unconditional wrath effects in black? Other than Damnation, black wrath effects tend to be conditional (extinguish all hope) or profit off of the death of creatures (decree of pain). So, my question is: Are equalizing wrath effects such as wrath of god or supreme verdict really in black?

We don’t do many vanilla wraths because we like mixing it up and there is always great flavor in black mass kill.

Why does blue/white get a "destroy all creatures" spell like Supreme Verdict, but there isn't any kind of mass removal spell in blue/black? It seems like blue/black would be much more likely to destroy things than blue/white.

Blue/black could have a mass removal spell because monoblack can. Black is secondary in mass removal while white is primary and multicolor spells tend to go to the primary color more often.

Despite all the complaints about the power level of creatures compared to spells, and the weakening of counterspells over the years, I have to tell you that I really appreciate Return to Ravnica block for all the awesome control tools it brought. AEtherling and Plasm Capture feel like a love letter to old-school control, and Supreme Verdict brings some of Wrath of God's finality back to board sweepers. We control types may whine a lot, but I like to think we're not completely ungrateful. Thanks!

You hit upon a point I keep trying to make which is control isn’t just about spells. There are creatures that also work well in a deck with a control strategy.
