I know. But if ripping ever gets to that point, well, I don't have enough cards to check in that many decks, or enough money to buy all sorts of new cards. Can you imagine paying top dollar for, say, a KoT, only to have it ripped up in it's first game? If a rule is ever made that any card can be ripped, half the people will leave the game. The other half will leave when their deck gets literally decimated.

Ripping cards is pretty permanent...
Haman's Gallows says otherwise.

Actually it says "instead."   ;)
 
Ripping cards is indeed permanent. So much so, in fact, that it cannot be interrupted.  :o

Only five cards would be ripped then bud. Assuming 50 card deck.

That would be awesome, to have a deck-rending strategy. A group of people could show up to a tournament packing decks that would ensure only the Renders have enough legal decks to make it through the first five rounds. Sound awesome to me.

I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

If it were a 50 card deck, it would become an illegal deck for next round after the first tear. But yes, I know, that's why I said "literally decimated".  The problem is, what happens at a tournament, where you have to play five, six games in a row? After the first couple games, you're deck will become illegal - for the same reason you need a 51 card deck if you're going to play with Plot.

Think positive, guys!  ;D

1. People would make bigger decks.
2. Common cards would be used more often, especially at local tournaments.
3. Decks would likely be more diverse.
4. Many cards would have an increase in value as the ripping ripples across the country.
5. We would never need to ban cards, just target them more for ripping.

What if returning from RFG was part of a strategy?

Well, Cannot Be Negated is permanent, so I say we can make removal from the game un-permanent.  ;D  There only has to be one permanent, non-reversible ability.  I vote CBN.

If we have to go that far, then I'll let you in on my stock of counterfeits...  but ONLY if we actually get to that point.

I like the idea of ripping.  It could help sell more cards, e.g.  "Rip three Unlimited cards to discard a human in set-aside."

Floridians are sometimes too distracted by the simple process of voting.   ;D

Be careful. If I hurt you, then I will ask for my trial to be held in Florida.

Imagine the horror on the faces of the 12 people who were handed ballots with perforated chads that read, "Is Casey guilty or not guilty?"   ::)

I still contend that there needs to be something that is permanent. Discard was permanent, until cards were made to bring them back. I would gather that's what caused "remove from the game" to be created in the first place. If "remove from the game" gets reversible, then we would need to create a new way to make permanent effects.
+1  The game needs something that takes cards out permanently, and I don't want to make everyone rip cards.  Neither do I want to do away with a special ability that does this ("remove") just to create a new special ability that does the same thing.  I would expect that "remove" will therefore always be permanent.
