Sygg, River Cutthroat

Rules Versus Design

I think the underlying issue on commander is that you're looking at the vantage point of a designer, while some of us are looking at it through rules point of view. Is Sygg, River Cutthroat targetable for Dark Banishing? No, he is black. Can Red Elemental Blast counter it? Yes, it is blue.

Of course I’m looking it as a designer. Magic is many games connected by a unified set of rules. When one version works differently than all the other versions it increases confusion and makes it harder to transition between formats.
