Wait, what? How can they just remove Priority?

Uhh, so instead of fixing the rules, we're all gonna ban certain things so there are no more exceptions to these bad rules?

...

great.

I'm being hypocritical because I like Priority because it makes sense and I dislike Missing the Timing because it doesn't make sense. You ken?

Then ban the god damn card. Jesus, how is this a hard concept? If a card is broken, then ban it. If it's at 0, then it can't very well hurt the game now can it? And in order to prevent such things from happening in the future, DESIGN BALANCED CARDS.

...Listen.

These cards are perfectly well, right now how they are.

If they applied your suggestion, and removed the missing of timing...

Well, the become broken. So, leave it as it is, and they are perfectly fine.

There are TOO MANY cards which would cross the "broken" like, would missing the timing be removed.

Point is, it's even worse card design to ban cards.

It's better for a game overall to revise the rules. It's why Magic regularly revises its rules, while keeping bans to a minimum.

What breed of insane troll logic is this? "Oh, no, we printed a broken card, let's revise the core rules of the game just to keep a card that didn't deserve to exist in the first place in the game." Making your game's rules change whenever you screw up and print a broken card is a horrible idea - especially when you print broken cards with as much regularity as Konami.

Also, Magic doesn't decide how to revise its rules by looking at the list of cards that exist, seeing which ones are broken, and then seeing what rules of the game can be changed to save them. Instead, it just tries not to print broken cards in the first place (with more success than Konami) and revises the rules to make the game flow better (like removing mana burn, which was more odd and fiddly than it was worth).

Dang it, I take a break to eat lunch, and am missing out on a good Hikaru topic.

Frankly, you got it backwards.

Priority turns ignition effects into trigger effects. Which is flat-out retarded.

Missing the timing keeps cards from being ABUSABLE.

How does that mean that Priority doesn't make sense and that Missing the Timing does?

I personally approve the removal of priority, because I think that there should be a difference between cards that activate when summoned, and cards that just have a once per turn ability that can be activated anytime during the main phase. doing this, doesn't really strengthen or weaken the cards that lose priority directly,
it instead strengthens the cards that destroy on summoning, meaning that THINKING AHEAD MATTERS MORE.
yes I know this is a novel concept to you otk happy idiots, but planning ahead is a good thing.

No, seriously. Ancient news is ancient.

Along with priority not making sense, here's the thing about it: it ensures your boss monsters pay for themselves as long as there isn't a Solemn waiting for them. If you BTH my Hyperion, that's a +1 for me. If you BTH my JD, that's a +??? for me. If you BTH my Volcasaurus, that's a +1 for me. If you BTH my Brio, it might not be a +, but I've cleared your field. Now, in Pudding's perfect world, three of those cards are banned (hell, maybe you think Volcasaurus is broken, too), but idgaf, and [acronym='Konami Doesn't Give A Field Spell']kdgaf[/acronym]. It's Konami's prerogative to change the rules, particularly when they forgot to write those rules in the rulebook (or do they have it now?).
