I don't play Standard, you loon. That's different from not playing Magic. There's a reason I don't consider things like filter lands or storage lands when suggesting duals—they're heinously inefficient compared to painlands, fetchlands, shocklands, real duals, and so on. Painlands are (relatively) efficient. They don't come into play tapped, they don't require turns of charging up, they don't bounce other lands, they don't deplete themselves, or any of the other downsides in random Standard-useable-only duals. If you want to toss a Gilt-Leaf Palace into your B/G deck, you're at a tempo disadvantage unless you're playing elves (if you are playing elves, though, you should get four ASAP), compared to using Llanowar Wastes. For some decks, this isn't as bad as it is for other decks. Some decks would rather be a turn behind in mana than take 2-3 damage overall. But this doesn't encompass every deck, and more games are lost due to bad tempo than an extra point of damage or three.
I also never said that you didn't need Tarmogoyf to win a big Standard tournament. All I said was that you didn't need Tarmogoyf to play green. It seems like in your haste to try and make me look foolish, you neglected to read what I actually had to say. Whoops on your part.
You also might want to notice that you don't vote on every base set card. I really don't feel like going on about Magic design and how Damnation isn't going to get reprinted, because it'll be lost on you for the reason that you don't even read what I say. You just fill in what you think I'm saying and work from there. In retrospect, I think this entire reply was a waste of time on my part, but I figured I wouldn't let you negatively impact an impressionable new player as to the validity of the advice of someone who's played for years.
