To be fair, I think a lot of the complaints about Blue aren't that it is "dead" (although there are certainly plenty who have that opinion), but that it is heavily unbalanced compared to the other colors in M10.(the following comments apply to Standard only)Many people respond that most of the Blue power cards don't come from Core Sets anyway, but they forget that M10 is a Core Set unlike any before, because of the new cards. It's scary to think that when Wizards designs new cards for blue, this may be the direction they are headed.Of course, we don't know what Zendikar will bring, and hopefully in a few months Blue will get some power cards. But it sure is disappointing when you've been looking forward for months to what M10 will bring, and you look around and see neo-Crusade, Duress, Lightning Bolt, Great Sable Stag et al, …and there's simply nothing that cool/interesting/powerful for you as a Blue player. Blue's best cards from M10 are cards that are already available in Standard.~Joey Pasco
