Does this truly neuter the Bridgevine deck in modern? Is the Bridgevine deck good enough to port to Legacy?

There have been a few 5-0 in legacy online for the deck.

Really?!? Very cool. It seems like an explosive deck for sure, and a little less susceptible to graveyard hate as traditional dredge. Seeing it in action, there are self-sustaining combos with Bridge/Hogaak/Altar, as early as turn 2 but reliably t3. Backup plan of having 12+ power on the battlefield t2-3 seems ok. I love that Altar can disrupt Terminus, probably the one card that would truly foil this deck in Legacy.
Looking at Legacy, was anyone actually expecting or hoping for a ban? I thought we might get Earthcraft and/or Mind Twist unbanned at last, but the powers-that-be seem to be more comfortable with just letting War of the Spark/Modern Horizons cause enough shake-up.

Nomenclature aside, I think the deck is still incredibly powerful without Bridge. So it becomes Altar-Vine, Hogaak-Vine, or just Hogaak, whatever, the point I'm attempting to make is this: will the deck still be oppressive by making 12+ power on t2 reliably?

It's really just a matter of working out the best way to fill the graveyard. Bridge is certainly a derpy card, but you can cast Hogaak with Prized Amalgam and Bloodghast too.

Bingo, I don't think we've seen the last of this deck.

I don't know, the less like Facebook this forum is, the better, probably... :laugh:
Re: All B/R update speculation.
With bridge from below banned in modern maybe they could unban Golgari Grave-Troll for the second time.
Re: All B/R update speculation.
not sure if that's serious or not. GGT was way too busted for dredge. dredge also hasn't played bridge in a while in modern. deck is really stable without it. i really like the deck.

I can't actually remember whether modern dredge ran bridge or not and I used to play it. I just want to sell the GGTs I have in my folder really. Also unbanning the card that was so good they banned it twice would mildly amuse me.
Re: All B/R update speculation.

Na man, my spelling is miles worse, I just thought it too funny to leave on the floor.
Re: All B/R update speculation.
Announcement coming up on 8/26, any predictions? The modern community is clamoring for a Hogaak ban, which I think is fairly inevitable, which could result in a Stoneforge unban (prisoner exchange program.) That's my prediction for modern.
I still want Mind Twist for legacy, but I think there will be no changes. Modern Horizons has really shaken up the format with W&6, Force of Negation, Urza, Yawgmoth, and lots of other cards. War of the Spark gave us Dreadhorde Arcanist and Narset, Parter of Veils. I predict no changes.
Re: All B/R update speculation.
Would guess no changes to legacy. There’s no one ban to dissuade the 4-5c stuff. Astrolabe would be the best ban, but that wouldn’t do a thing to stop 4c Wrenn. Hit Wrenn and you just Vista into Astrolabe and do the next best thing.
