The whole point of a hyperbole is to exaggerate to create emphasis. It is therefore not meant to be taken literally. I would assume that by using the actual word you'd know what it meant, but apparently not.
Yes, indeed. The people winning those in-town 10-men tournaments with decks that are more often that not outright bad and may or may not contain Giant's Blood are indeed "winning big".
Sure. And RtI and PtO were fine too, right?

I think the fact that literally EVERY deck plays one nowadays is a sign of a card that has no place in the game as it currently is.
Get your facts straight before you try to use hyperbole.

but clearly other people are winning, and winning big, without it.

Then you should know the drawback to using hyperbole when not needed is that other people will stop to take you or your arguments seriously.
Except that every tournament I mentioned had 20+ players, and at least two of them had 90+ players.
Yes, get your facts straight.
When you are anvil, be patient; when a hammer, strike.

Again: For 15+ years, EVERY deck played Blood Doll....{{Giant's Blood}} is so "stupidly" good, that if you don't include it, you are shooting yourself in the foot, whether you need it or not. Which defines for me a card that has a power level that is over the top.

For very different reasons than why lots of people are including Giant's Blood now.

Which is why that comparision you keep making is irrelevant. So either you're going to stop making it or you're being a jerk. If the latter, please stop.
