I think what pettdan meant was that because you want Brainstorm to be a thing, you are now getting very linear strategies that prey on it. You can't have one without the other, or something of that...

I think what pettdan meant was that because you want Brainstorm to be a thing, you are now getting very linear strategies that prey on it. You can't have one without the other, or something of that...
Wait a moment? Are you serious? You never blew up a Sylvan Library or BoB? You never surgicalled a Loam? You never revoked a LED?? This makes no sense...
That's because you don't believe other...
And what you are missing is that a lot of us are asking for strategic and (let's call it) tactical diversity. Brainstorm (+fetches) stifles this by making cantrips the best possible engine. We just...
I think this is your problem. You refuse to see that Brainstorm is keeping a lot of beautiful decks (not only dark maverick) down because Brainstorm is just so much more powerful than what those...
Nice generalization... where the hell does this come from? Can you point me to some facts or are you just making this up?
I think Brainstorm should be banned in Legacy and Shops should be...
I don't understand how people can keep defending Brainstorm when Wizards basically admitted the only reason it's not on the banlist is because of pillar of the format whatever blabla...
Banning...
Not sure he will find logic in the last 10 (or any) pages of this thread :P
Lol the deck knowledge in this thread is through the roof. A lot of discussions start to make sense to me now that DnT and Maverick are apparently the same deck haha.
On another note, something...
I have an idea: The Island Restricted List for Legacy, which could start with these cards on it:
- DRS
- Top
The rule of this list: you can't play these cards in your deck if your deck contains...
If your read my post you would have seen that I wrote: You don't play Chalice to hose combo, you play it to hose the cantrip engine or other engines built around efficient one mana spells (like...
I don't know why you need that smiley there, that is almost insulting, but whatever... Yes, for me legacy is defined by the engines. The engines is what makes decks tick and different from each...
Indeed this!
You make no sense. You were basically saying that the current format is much better than 7 years ago because at least now your list of cards is playable. I argue that Tabernacle...
Tabernacle, Maze and Chasm didn't need that rule change: http://sales.starcitygames.com/deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=47238
Sure, that rules change and the printing of stage made Lands able to...
Why do you say these cards were unplayable? Like if anything changed?
These cards as playable as they were 7 years ago. They only see play in really niche decks because cantripping into TNN or Leo...
But where do you draw the line in that case? Why even have a ban list in that case? If you get your toys, I want to get mine too, give me workshop and you keep on casting brainstorms for 3. Don't...
You were the one throwing around expensive words like tautology, so I tried it for different years and different formats. 2012's most played cards couldn't just be scooped up into 1 pile and be...
If that would be true, than why doesn't it give me a nice legacy starter deck if I filter on `All decks of 2012`?
Why doesn't it give me a nice starter deck for modern?
That article is just more propaganda from Bob Huang on his crusade against DRS...
Wait people are know complaining about mana denial being bad for their 4 color greedy decks?? No shit... :eek:
I don't think anyone wants a format with all cantrips banned, who is asking for this? The Xerox engine should just be turned down a notch so that other engines have a proper chance and maybe then we...
I think you missed part of the question: hypothetical...
Loam was just an example, insert whatever non-Xerox engine in there. My point is that the Xerox engine is the best engine in Legacy and is...
Time for a hypothetical question: suppose the best engine in Legacy wasn't Xerox but Loam and suppose Loam decks would use all kinds of different wincons in different archetypes, you have a loam...
Again I read this thing about 'normal fair Magic'. Explain to me what this means in Legacy for how I see it: every strategy in Legacy is busted. Some do it by abusing the graveyard, some by abusing...
What is interactive normal magic in Legacy?? Nothing is normal magic in Legacy, everything is busted... Is it because your cards are blue it's suddenly normal magic?
So what? How is this...
I don't know where your numbers come from but I don't need to know the source to know what other card is in those lists with an even higher representation. Why are we not banning that monstrosity...
