Well, Duel, if you really want an example of what Black lost, here's one. Black has, count 'em, exactly NO creatures with toughness greater than 5 in 7th. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. Nightmare doesn't count. There. That's something black lost that is fairly signifigant. No longer can black consistantly block Blasty and friends in the base set, for lack of Evil Eye of Orms-By-Gore. Not much, but that's something lost.
(Btw, how silly is this? Evil Eye sucks when it is originally printed, so they put it in the base set. Then it sucks some more, so it goes in the next base set. Not done sucking yet, they put it in a THIRD base set! And then, suddenly, people start playing it... And it's gone from the base set.
WTF is up with THAT twisted logic?)
