Blue players know that Cotv kills all their cantrips and their fancy cmc 1's, but this doesn't stop them from running all the good stuff, because it's too strong.

On the other hand, up until International Master level, nobody knows 20 moves of theory and everyone plays their pet opening trying to win with both white and black no matter what. Even at...
Let's say you and I were to duel to death. Each one of us has 3 seconds to open a box, find a weapon in it and shoot.
Box A has got a 95% of chance to be empty and 5% of chance to give you an...
I think this is true and very interesting. My idea is that it has something to do with power level. In a lower power-level format, I might as well allow you to do your thing, then do my thing, and...
I said that multiple times when comparing Omnitell to Spiral Tide. Resolving one spell, putting an overcosted enchantment into play and then laughing at your opponent is way easier than calculating...
So being tier1 twelve years ago makes solidarity more successful than Spiral Tide? Holy crap you make bold claims, and there goes your irony.
Gaddock Teeg is irrelevant, to be fair. It's a hate...
Yeah, in retrospective that was kinda silly. :tongue:
Alright, reasonable. Well, i'll try to put it as simple as I can.
1. As a (former-potential) player of that deck, I already want to cry...
Nice to know, since playing the deck has given me tons of fun throughout the years. I was there during the early days, but didn't really pay attention to who was posting what. By the way, he could...
You said that FoW > Discard and basic lands > non basic lands and that a faster combo is not strictly > to a slower -but more controllish- approach. I pointed out that there is a discard-based, 3/4c...
Oh no. When I think about High Tide my first concern is consistency: Time spiral is essential because it gives this deck some much needed consistency, and so does FS. I think Frantic Search would be...
I can.
Frantic Search is still bad pre-combo. Spira Tide does not really want to cast a -1 card when looking for gas. Therefore it would be a combo-card. It's not like Spiral Tide would have...
The magic world of internet, where you can find arguments supporting pretty much every theory.:laugh:
In fact, if you think about it, people on the internet also tend to overreact with surprise (and...
Woha. I disagree with pretty much everything you said.
This is flat out false. Eldrazi stompy thread's has not been a constant presence in the DTB section over the last 6 months. It has gone in...
I love how his post has got disgusted replies by four people in a row.
Force of Will is a blessing to the format. It's the glue that holds it together. People are talking about cantrips, not counterspells. Here in legacy we need powerful counterspells because we play...
#Tinker: We already covered that so many times. Just think of Show and tell being the best two-card combo enabler of the format, for :2::u:.
Now, Tinker is a Show and Tell + Demonic Tutor that...
This.
As far as combo decks are concerned, only Aluren and Show and Tell variants featuring both Omniscience and Cunning Wish have the ability the win the game in their opponent's turn, and most...
What.
1. Blue Delver decks (now in the reincarnated UR shell) have been tier 1 in pauper forever. The format is not "xeroxifying" or whatever it's called.
2. I came from vintage, like many of...
Now, this is a way fairer post. That I like.
I get it. You know, I used to play vintage back in the day. I have this idea about FOW and Daze, they are great to keep the metagame in check,...
The only serious unbans that one should consider are:
-Earthcraft (maybe creating a new deck...maybe. Combo is green heavy and weak to needle effects)
-Frantic Search (So Spiral Tide becomes t1.5...
Congratulations, you just looked like a jerk. Stop making assumptions on what I'm starting or not starting to do. Just because I share some of your opinions doesn't mean I'm "starting" to do...
Grixis Delver has 3 maindeck free plays: Gitaxian Probe, Daze, and Force of Will. You can play probe in your deck too, and I strongly advise against advocating for a metagame without Daze and Fow....
Disagreed 100%. It's not about being tier 1. It's about being unplayable to the point of no-top8 in like, the last 15 big events. And that's precisely because of drs benefitting the grixis delver...
I believe Eva (Golgari) based aggro would be better off without DRS in this format, for the simple fact that the card benefits blue-based fair decks way more. If DRS goes, Junk simply replaces it...
I'll be the first one to take this post seriously.
Show and Tell is considered to be a format-defining card, being one of the strongest enablers for cheating massive pokèmons into play for a very...
