Did someone actually compare Magic to Chess in terms of competitive/strategic game play?
First, that's the most **** thing I've ever heard and I'm going to explain clearly why.

You should be comparing Disenchant with Wear//Tear, not EE.
EE has more applications and can wipe boards in specific match ups. I doubt ANY opponent will risk naming an additional target beyond...
It's kinda weird, but would you guys consider 3 Flusterstorms be the norm for the deck? Either 3 in the SB or at least 2 in SB/1 in the MB?
There's a lot of games where I just constantly want to...
I'm sure it does, just it hasn't been able to go toe to toe with Tier 1 strategies yet.
Actually those are dropped, so that was a c/p error on me.
I don't know, but it feels horrible top decking into rituals, even when I'm ahead on board. I dropped 1 copy in place for the tutor and...
How do you guys feel about having main board Flusterstorms?
Through testing this week, I found that I kept boarding in my 3rd copy of Entreat the Angels and 3 copies of Flusterstorms. Given the...
So after getting my butt handed to me by a few Omni-Tell/Sneak & Show/Belcher players, I had to adjust my tool box build into something much more streamlined. It didn't really change my interaction...
Not all purposes of tutors are exclusively for combo lists. In some builds of Miracles, it allows you to hand pick a silver bullet from your SB games 2-3. In that type of deck, you're usually ahead...
Jace & Lili in context of being a big spell isn't the same thing.
Both cards are great when you're ahead on board, but they're drastically different cards when you're behind. Jace at least gives...
So my friend convinced me to drop by his campus and I found out that some of the EDH players there were also into Legacy.
So I decided to drop last week just to see how the meta was in their area....
"praise the sun!"
Feel free to talk about the UK scene too.
It's interesting to hear about the metas/culture in different countries from an international listener's point of view.
Just curious, if there's a meta with heavy Jund/Cascade/Storm, would you rather have Rule of Law or Ethersworn? Assuming my current SB looks like this:
EE
Pithing Needle
Grafdigger's Cage
Swan...
Hey great show guys!
I've been listening in on your show for a few months now and it's great to hear experiences from an unbiased point of view. Keep it up!
Thank you for the compilation of the archetype! It's just fun going back to basics with Black.

Yeah...gonna have to agree too.
Lili's literally a 4 of in any Pox list. You rarely ever sideboard her out since she has all the options you want for Pox's core game.
It's difficult to say. It's really slow to set up from the videos. I'm not sure how his games will be against more aggressive lists, but once he gets where he wants, it locks up the game most of the...
He got his start there with the basics and deck building theories. He does have decent runs here in the states when he does brew Legacy lists for SCG events, streaming on MTGO and articles, so I...
Yo, I didn't post here for a dick measuring contest. Back off, especially with this Min/Max bullshit when we all know there's several builds for this deck and there hasn't been a finalized list...
Funny, that never really happens in real games. Just saying. I've watched enough Oarsman streams to know it's never that simple, otherwise he'd be 4-0 every time. I haven't found games to be straight...
My Miracles list uses a single mountain (something I picked up from playing Modern) as one of he basic land package, including the 2 Volcanics. While it does feel a bit spotty and Oarsman has pointed...
His videos are very valuable. I've learned more watching his streams than any article on SCG/CFB/ETC. Oarsman's choice for double EE is sound in so many match ups, I haven't regretted it since adding...
Tron seems to be the most annoying list. It doesn't really allow brews to exist in the format, outside of established ones. Turn 3 Karn? ...Okay.
I think I've just gradually got more responsible...
I'd love to see this site as the main community hub for external formats.
Eventually, I'd like to see a wider embrace towards the format, rather than the butt end of a joke.
Awesome thread! Thanks H3llsp4wn.
