Wait so opponents now running a spell than can kill tarmogoyf makes your goyf easier to survive? Instead of the opponent running a bolt that can’t kill your goyf? Your argument actually doesn’t make any sense….

What Mikefon said. Besides, it’s not like all the blackless red decks have suddenly dropped red for black, although some have. And besides, Bolt was often played at 4 copies because of its flexibility; Push is more common to see at 3 copies (source: mtggoldfish). And besides, many players in W or BR colors are trimming some number of heavy-duty removal (Terminate, Path) for Push, which also plays to our favor, since it means fewer cards that deal with our larger threats.

Yes, we’re aware of the weird sports card post. Our account got hacked. As of now the post is deleted, and it looks to be an isolated incident.

It is not logical fallacy. He said that he’s glad opponents use FP on nacatls instead of goyf which it would have been in many case bolt proof anyway. If opponents use a 1 mana spell on a 2 mana creature you get tempo disadvantaged. 1 mana spell on a 1 mana creature is tempo parity. Nacatls make Goyf (your biggest creature) easier to survive.

Anyway to get rid of this?

Also, your argument that nacatl is now good because of less bolts is a logical fallacy, because it’s simply been replaced by fatal push.
