Card is gross, covid is bad for magic, and discord is really murdering forum threads for decks that are specialist-decks, since we all just stick to the one deck community...
I need a link to this discord channel.
I'm trying to lock down my list for SCG DC next week. I'm going to have a fairly intensive week beforehand so I don't want to have to think hard (cast brainstorms).
I'm curious what people's...
So i'm returning to burn after not having played it in a couple of years (and not much legacy at all in the last 18 months). Ironically, the reasons are completely unrelated to the miracles banning....
I've been playing variations of lands or agro loam for YEARS. I'm about equally comfortable with decklists/lines of play/keepable hands/matchups for both, I just wondered what the consensus is on...
For various reasons, I've been out of magic/legacy for a while. Is old faithful still decent in the metagame, or should I be heading over to the RG lands thread and catching up over there?
So I'm sort of back after a REALLY long (like almost a year) hiatus from the source, because school. I've only seen the RG combo build putting up results--is the RUG build dead? Should I just cave...
I don't deny that RUG delver is blazingly fast. In my experience, it's also the best delver build against miracles--UWR, bug, UR, and even the weird esper-delver and 4-color delver builds perform...
I think a lot of players are missing the CONTEXT around which miracles is performing well:
1. It's over-performing in the US only (maybe Japan? I don't follow their metagame as closely). In...
Sorry if I'm late to the party; I've worked the floor at opens before; I live in VA and I'd be willing to staff these sorts of events at-cost--long as I'm breaking even on gas/food/hotel split for...
all that paperwork.... It's worse than actually having to DQ someone.
As a further treat, while I was on duty counting lists I did keep track, there were only SIX lands players in the main event, four made day two, and at least one of the two that didn't lost a win and...
Today at the open I saw a lot of omnitell players get DESTROYED by trinisphere. It not only locks them out of seriously winning when they cast the show and tell, it's also eminently castable on its...
No, we weren't trolling, we literally had to call those people up >.<
Our Favorite Oarsman's last match was apparently a super close and super awesome match--I chatted with him about it on the...
I really liked the article. The interesting things to me were the sideboarded YP tech, not the lack of enter the infinites. Also, that rain of filth tech was super spicy--feels like a good choice...
but but but strip mine...?
I refuse to even buy into MTGO for other reasons, but at least I was able to watch Julian and others stream legacy DE's. Now I can't even do that, and I'm a college student on the east coast. Like...
I commented on the article but I'll add here--I really want to see you explore the gush-gifts-lotus cobra-tendrils style. I have to feel like the combination of gifts ungiven, gush, manabond, yawg...
currently? I have manaless dredge (or mana/LED dredge, but manaless is more fun to pull out of the bag to screw with people) and burn together. Sold my trops and tabernacle to pay for school this...
If I'm out of line, let me know. Unbanning is obviously a topic that the legacy community looks at with interest in that it can shake up the format without altering the power structure of the format...
As long as there's good coverage by people who know what they're doing, either as serious legacy players or as SKILLED magic players (Hall of famers or PT winners, none of this "I top 8'd a gp once"...
If goblins wins that GP, I'll be on the lookout for someone like Feline Longmore to take down a SCG open or something with solidarity just so we can laugh and say that the demise of the 2006 metagame...
As a general testing procedure for modern (and multiple people in my group have t16'd in the last couple of elite IQ's), we begin by building a gauntlet, usually stock mainboards, and run game...
the most disappointing thing about this article was the lack of a decklist including multiple copies of gifts ungiven. Other than that, it was, as usual, the best magic content on the web for the...
Glad I didn't have to boycott. Now to dig through and see if I can manage to sleeve up a vintage gifts build with 9 or fewer proxies. I think I can make that work now that we get gifts back.
