I really want to make a lifegain deck right now. x3 Chalice of Life  x3 Felidar Sovereign  But because they havent been errated to "10 life more then starting" and "20 life more then starting", there prices are way more then they should be, and well beyond my budget. Seriously guys, do you think the devolpers had 40 life totals in mind when designing these cards? Of course not, dont be stupid. Think about 2HG. 60 card decks, x4 cards, this thing is a 6/6 flying lifelink for  , and people are getting away with it. Its the saddest thing ive ever heard in my life. And now I cant make my deck because of an abused format.

Threw chalice of life in there. Thats a cheap card, maybe because they didnt break 40 life formats with the wording...
Why are they so scared to errata? If anything demanded it, this is it. Shocked it hasnt been done yet.

I don't think that has as much to do with it as them just being popular casual cards. They're fun even in plain, 20 starting life gameplay. Glimpse the Unthinkable  isn't particularly good in any format and look how expensive it is.

Disagree.
Because I had 4 of these online when they were 5 cents and used only for casual play.
Price shot up so hardcore when people figured out they could abuse, to 5 bucks. I quickly figured they would fix there mistake and sold mine.
They have droped to 1 since then, but I am not spending 4 dollars on 20 cents worth of card. They just need to fix there mistake.
Also, regardless if the price even drops, you cant disagree that the wording voids all forms of common sense.

They don't errata just to make things less broken, so it stays as-is. Imagine how much "fun" Felidar Sovereign is for EDH players in a "Thank God the dude with Omnath can summon Omnath and kill all the dudes playing white before Sovereign fires off." way.
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.

I would completely agree and disown my case if I have confirmed proof the devolpers had 40 life game totals in mind.
The cards from inistrad says that dont in a way. And I think they are just too afraid to change it now when people are abusing it.

they probably haven't
but an errata now would be a functional change, and they try really hard to avoid those

Yeah, that's Innistrad tech. Before that, they didn't consider EDH or 2HG that much, except with individual cards

No, its not a functionality change. Its a common sense change. Those cards have no right to be doing what they are doing.

A functionality change changes a card's functionality (exactly as it says on the tin). This would change the card's functionality in 2HG and EDH.
Why don't they change Decimator Web  too? The pun makes no sense in formats with high life totals.
By the way, you forgot Test of Endurance  on that list.
