>in fact that's not even remotely a consideration in the same text you quoted you disingenuous fuck
Maybe if you actually read the damn announcements, instead of constantly making shit up, you'd be smart enough to infer that.
>>Coming down for no mana on turn one, it's quite possible to have the explosive start of Mana Crypt into a Signet or Talisman, land, and another Signet, leaving that player untapping five mana on turn two.
Mana Crypt is probably the closest in power to Sol Ring, and this is what it says about it, going into the math. Sol Ring does not reach this speed. Sol Ring gets you 3-4 pre-untap instead of the 4-5.

>without sol ring there still would be explosive starts,

>they didn't ban sol ring because it's "iconic"
Yes, they're NOT banning the card that's already engrained in the format (unlike what you said in >>96901423), and they're not intent on cutting out all explosive starts, just the most powerful, because, if you actually played the game, you'd know how cancerous the other three were.

Mouthbreather.
