Technically, MB, points 1 and 2 aren't so bad in the Eternal formats because they're true of Force of Will too, and that's been a staple of both Legacy and Vintage for years (admittedly, FoW is -1 card while Mental Misstep is 1-for-1). It's the 3rd point--the fact that Mental Misstep can be played by literally any deck that really made it format-breaking for Legacy--FoW requires you to be in blue to have a blue card to throw away, while you have no such restriction on Mental Misstep--any deck can play it.
Sort of.
The need to pitch a card (and specifically a Blue card) to use Force of Will for free is a big deal. 2-for-1'ing yourself means you have to deploy the card really selectively. Typically you use it to break up a combo that trying to go off (or at least threaten to break it up, so the combo player needs to play around it) or if there's a turn 1 card you absolutely have to stop then and there because otherwise it will quickly take over the game (like Goblin Lacket).
In fact in a lot of matchups, the Blue control deck with actually sideboard out Force of Wills because it's not interested in 2-for-1'ing itself. But you still keep it in your main deck to try and keep those pesky combo players honest.
True, it's still a free counterspell that has no tempo cost so it's still very powerful and awkward for some decks to play around so parts of points 1 and 2 still apply. However, Mental Misstep just takes it to a whole 'nother level and the need to 2-for-1 yourself with FoW is a big, big deal. I just found it easier to write about Mental Misstep that way and not bother with opening a whole can of worms about Force of Will and the intricacies of that spell...

I remember always being sad when it wasn't *tho I didn't know the name then* #13. Like immensely sad because it was and still is by far my favourite one outta the bunch.

I remember the "More Bells and Whistles" video from a tape me and Monte had. I think was some kind of computer animation awards thing. It had the chomp chomp eat a record bit and styro the dog, but it also had other things that I can't remember off the top of my head. I just glanced through Imaginaria though and everything else wasn't familiar to me.
Jeez, that takes me back.

Moonbear! Comeh on LD OT is asking the hard questions about Pokemon, like how does Digett talk, do you have an answer because now I'm curious.

Well I mean, at least Thorin isn't passive aggressive.

Yeah I mean, the polish comment was overblown in my opinion. He clearly likes stirring the pot and I doubt with a straight face he'd use "I've talked to people and they all say x" to formulate his opinion of the entirety of a country. He's dumb but he's not stupid.

I mean, what he said wasn't any more offensive than the usual Top Gear digs at other countries in their monologues and rants.
