EDH - When does a deck become 'too good'?

If you can reliably win on turn 0 then you're being a dick; otherwise tell your bitch-ass little friends to settle down, strap in, and shut the fuck up.

I wouldn't know.

I'm always curious in situation like this: what is you hope to achieve by cherry picking and ignoring the evidence you yourself provided? I mean, I thought that you already looked like an idiot when the link you posted shot down your own point, but what could you possibly hope to gain by persisting on this course. I mean, I know you're an idiot, anyone who is knowledgeable about this subject knows you're an idiot, and I'm pretty sure you know you're an idiot too; are you merely trying to win votes from the uninformed?

Which is fucking scary; as a Canadian I can testify to the fact that about 95% of Canadians are morons.

No, there really isn't. Outside of religious sources there is almost no indication that he existed.

Spirit of the format? Sounds like somebody sucks at EDH.

Planeswalker format is the best format in Magic.

He's being an overzealous moron; there's nothing wrong with having this article posted in the science subreddit.

All I ask is that you show some kind of judgment and refrain from being a douche.

The six books taken together form the greatest story in the history of science fiction. Dune is nothing but the prologue. God Emperor is by far the most important book in the series, but it is a more difficult read.

All six books form one story. Dune and Dune Messiah are the introduction, they tell the story of Paul Atreides, the man who was failed because he was too weak to take the necessary path to save humanity. Children of Dune and God Emperor tell the story of Leto Atreides, the true Kwisatz Haderach who took the path his father was too much of a coward to take and who sacrificed his own humanity to save humanity. God Emperor is by far the most important book in the series; the only purpose of the first three books is to set it up. Heretics and Chapterhouse are the denouement, they are mostly concerned with illustrating the consequences of Leto's Golden Path.

You are a douche.

What you should do is remove all the non planeswalker cards and play planeswalker because it is hands down the best format in magic.

Have you figured out why you're wrong yet?

Yes, I do. Do you?

The important thing is that the frame in the buffer when the monitor updates is fresh, so that every time the monitor refreshes there is a recent frame to draw. Because graphics cards don't render at a consistent rate (they tend to produce burst of frames) if you don't have a render rate far above your refresh rate then a lot of the time when the monitor refreshes there is not a new frame ready and therefore it misses a cycle (or several). My rule of thumb is that you need to render at least twice as many frames as the refresh rate of the monitor (although truth be told 3-4 times is probably ideal) in order to get a playably smooth render.

USA prisons and harsh punishment caused drastic decline in crime-rates.

Well, no.

Yes, because graphics cards don't render consistently, they often render in bursts. Rendering twice the refresh rate (almost) always ensures that there is a new frame ready in the buffer when the monitor refreshes. If your card is only rendering 60fps then there is a good chance that there will not always be a new frame ready in the buffer when the monitor refreshes, and in a high speed game like Quake Live missing an update is often enough to kill you at competitive levels.

You need to have a framerate 2-3 times the refresh rate on your monitor to avoid dropped frames.
