If anything in the above line upset you, pack up and go home, bucko-- you're on the wrong side of history.

Cmon dude, this is clownery. Say "I just want the game to be worse" and move on with your life

My position makes the game more accessible and intuitive, yours does not. You cannot elaborate on why gameplay would be harmed.
Why do you want the most common way folk play MtG to be worse?

Easy.
The hypothetical new card has the exact same hybrid cost structure (Ognis' min identity is R), we're just discussing a line of rules text that would let him violate deckbuilding the rabbits and bureaucrats and temple guards do

If we took Ognis and errata'd a line onto him (or made a new card with the same cost) to say "This card's color identity is Red", are you chill with that?

Please, ya gotta see how absurd a stance that is. "Its always been that way" is NEVER a justification when a more accessible or useful or etc path exists and is obvious.

Animar is Temur not WUBRG. Why?
The game could easily see a rules engine update that replaces all written color words with their mana symbols and the only thing that breaks is EDH, is that good game design? No, "its stupid."

See, right there you tried to quantify something and that's where your argument shatters
Why is Archelos Sultai? Why are half of these WUBRG slop "flavorfully" so?
You can say "it just is", but if there's not a unifying basis, you have to accept "that's stupid" as criticism.

If you look far enough up the branches, sure, they're discrete-- but they connect to the same trunk pretty quickly, especially when Devoid and things like Rog are also their own counterarguments

Hybrid working as it does in other formats is not only intuitive, it actually *lessens* the cognitive load by doing such. If you can't be arsed to grasp how 'minimum identity' works as a premise, you don't have to run them

Drop of Honey, Psionic Blast, etc already shatter color expectations.

I'm of the opinion that the format should have as many cards work as possible; "I ran a burn deck in standard but can't convert it to EDH with the commander I want b/c obosh is rakdos" is duuuuumb.

And actually, if its changed to a swift to rear and just changed to only stay up until it completes an action or begins a move, we have this neat 'chambering' premise, like stances in Tekken
