Re: All B/R update speculation.
Every time I see "no changes," I kind of get a sinking feeling a little bit. I like seeing things shaken up, especially in Legacy where it's rare you get an unbanning.

Also if Echos of Eons exist. Why not unban Memory Jar? Lets go for the big fuck up, instead of durdling with Earthcraft, Mind twist or Survival.
I really want something big for this summer.
i'm right there with you brother ^^^
brainstorm's sins: sensei's divining top, probe, deathrite shaman, dig through time and treasure cruise
now imagine an unbanning of the above along with frantic search, earthcraft, mindtwist, fastbond and even mana drain

I didn't think of it. But surely the broken card is the timetwister, not the careful study
Re: All B/R update speculation.
I argue that the format hasn't had chance to even remotely settle from the bans of last year because the last 2 or 3 sets have all been extraordinarily impactful on the format and the matter of what is good or maybe even too good isn't even close to being answered yet. We will have to see how Karn, Dreadhorde Arcanist and Narset change the format in the long run. My suspicion that one of these cards will reach a point of power that's inacceptable at some point in the near future similiarly to DRS. Karn's absurdity has been widely recognized but my impression is that the brokenness of Arcanist isn't fully appreciated. It's capable of pulling of stuff it's most certainly not meant to do with all the 0CMC spells like Vision etc. and I expect this to become a problem at some point. Narset on the other hand has got an effect which should have never been printed on a CC3 card which is so easy to cast. I think people will eventually get severly upset about one or more of these cards and that they could therefore suffer a similiar fate as DRS once the meta has settled.

Knock it off. If you think Dig and Cruise are anywhere close to the others, you're fooling yourself.

Actually, Brainstorm is so good, it caused all of those cards to be banned in a format it has never even been legal in, as well as in Legacy!

Re: All B/R update speculation.
I was thinking about this. Brainstorm and Legacy. Now while I know that the idea here is that shit needs somewhere to live. Transgressive cards, blah blah. I do not think Brainstorm will get banned ever in the format, its just too much a part of Legacy, good or ill. I want that in plain English. I am past fighting over this card.
That said, Pauper is now a sanctioned format. Brainstorm is legal and if the stated reason for having the card is that transgressive things need a place to live, well Legacy is not the only game in town now. Not that I expect that it will change anything, but its an interesting thought.
Edit:
Just for clarification as to wtf I am talking about.

Re: All B/R update speculation.
Brainstorm's actually the weakest of the big three cantrips in Pauper, with Preordain being the default go-to. In Pauper you actually need a justification for playing Brainstorm. Shows how much the fetches being slower matters.

Ancestral Recall ain’t do that.
Brainstorm > Ancestral Recall, don't @ me.

I actually miss winning with Probe and losing to DRS.

I don't think any changes are expected in the near future especially since there will be a legacy GP a month from that announcement
