A thread that I've been meaning to do for a long time: what does it mean to be "strictly better" in Magic? This word is often used improperly, but it actually has a precise (and pretty restrictive) meaning. I won't be able to cover all the corner cases, but I'll do my best. 1/14

@golgariguy Ooh can I try? Price of Fame is strictly better than Hero’s demise because it costs the same if it targets a legendary creature, can hit a non legends for 2 more and it surveils.
@releasethedogs @golgariguy Another fun case because it’s strictly better but not always better. Chalice of the Void on 4 for example
@NathanTanzosch @golgariguy Strictly better doesn’t mean always better.
