[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6282495, member: 2525"] I raised the issue with Mearls on Twitter. Bottom line, he will think about it and raise the issue with the Dev team, but he justifies the rule. Sorry for the poor formatting, no time to go back through and do it right. This is in reverse order, and my questions are not shown just his answers. My questions are in the quote at the bottom.
