This is the first part of the two CRTs that will massively revise Magic: the Gathering. This will revise the AP and Speed of the profiles, the next (which will likely come out this summer) will revise the hax. Now, without further ado, lets get into it.

Section I: 6-C Downgrade

We have characters that currently scale off of Polukranos destroying Akros and Meletis. The problem with this calc is that it assumes Polukranos generated a massive blast, but this is likely not the case. Due to Polukranos's nature, Polukranos likely destroyed the two cities over a short time by rampaging through it, not by generating a massive blast. The strongest planeswalkers being 6-C would make no sense, since none of them could physically or magically harm the Eldrazi titans, who are consistently 7-A.

Polukranos (and those who scale) will be receiving a 7-A rating for being above Arixmethes, who is massive enough to have an entire city built on a small portion of his back.

Section II: 4-A and 2-C Downgrades

Currently we accept all planes being universal in size, along with Theros being a starscape. Both of these are not true.

To start, we have this source (link will be provided later if you are viewing this sandbox) stating that most planes consist of a planet, a moon, and a sun. Some planes are fully fledged universes, and some are infinitesimal specks. So unless proven otherwise (I.E, planes that contain stars and likely a full universe such as Ravnica or Innistrad), we should assume that planes are 4-B in size.

Now for Theros's structure. At a glance, it may seem that Theros is a plane that contains actual stars. However, there are many things contradicting Theros containing an actual starscape.

(Quotes will replace this part if you are reading this sandbox)

Due to these quotes, instead of being an actual starscape, Theros is likely a dome that is a skybox. This dome is planetary in size, and likely contains a moon and a sun.

The Gods of Theros are going to be High 6-A, possibly 4-B for being able to shake the plane of Theros, but whether or not the entire plane or just the planet is involved is unknown. Xenagos is going to be 4-B outright for being above all the gods and creating a void being able to swallow the entire plane.

Nicol Bolas will also be affected by this, but we will get to him in a minute.
