How to save Legacy:

3. Profit!
So I don't know if anyone's paying attention to Legacy anymore but this deck is pretty damn sick with the addition of Golos, Tireless Pilgrim.
My list that made 12th place in the last Legacy...
But it's not really free if you want to play competitive decks.
I'm a good player and I've found that even though I was playing pretty frequently on ranked ladder, to stay competitive and build...
3 or so years ago I invested enough money in MTGO to build my main Legacy and Modern decks (all Ancient Tomb variants, Tron & Humans in Modern) - about $1000? - and since then I've made back that...
I haven't put any money into MTGO in years.
Whereas with Arena, to keep playing competitive Standard decks I'm going to inevitably have to buy the latest packs, or play like 8+ hours a day to get...
Any time you can monetize your hobby it's not a bad thing, imho.
Would you rather play Magic completely for free or be compensated (in any way) for playing the game? Why do people play in Magic...
Collective Restraint is so bad. So they have a Tarmogoyf and they pay 2 mana to kill you with it. And the card cost you 3U just to put in play. At that cost it should wipe the board or function as a...
They need to allow people to make real money playing Arena outside of the Top-8 players in the world or whoever is qualified for the MPL based on it.
I can make $8-$16 an hour playing Magic Online...
Love the Portal.
For all you Eastern PA players this a great shop to hold a tournament, especially Legacy.
I'll try to be there.
4 Force of Will
4 Force of Negation
4 Fact or Fiction
4 Ophidian
Profit?
I cut down to 3 Keys in my list anyway. And yeah, the second ability is somewhat worthless except in some corner cases when you are attacking ftw with ulamog or something.
I think what we really...
Beautiful!
I love it when the original artist does a creative alter like this.
Why does this mean MTGO is going away exactly?
Arena and MTGO cater to two different crowds. Until they get Pauper/Legacy/Modern/Vintage on Arena, MTGO probably isn't going anywhere.
MTGO is going? Where?
Wow. So much to unpack in this set.
No. the format is now going to be nothing but Karn.dec vs Karn.dec.
City has a devious drawback but the ability to play more than 4 sol-lands in this format helps with our ramp plan IMMENSELY.
I see people playing Urborg instead of City and I think it's a huge...
Your list looks pretty similar to the list I brainstormed for the new Karn and tried out in last week's challenge: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1859586#paper
I didn't put Ugin the Ineffable in...
I just finished the lastest Legacy Challenge on MODO. This time I only managed to place 2nd in the challenge with the "midrange" version but also playing 1 copy of Ugin the Ineffable in the main....
I believe Karn, the Great Creator will be the next card to hit the banlist in Legacy and Modern, and the restricted list in Vintage.
Card is straight busted in every constructed format except...
The difference between 3 mana and 4 mana can mean the difference between dying and winning against Storm... especially when you can get to 7 mana and Karn+Trinisphere all in one turn.
Liquimetal...
You have to play Ensnaring Bridge in the SB to make it work properly. First time you cast him, you get Ensnaring Bridge to stop the opponent from attacking him with creatures.
If they don't have...
The new Karn is insane. That is all.
Despite the rather middling result (4-3) in this challenge, I think this new version is maybe the best version of the deck yet.
Karn, the Great Creator is PURE GAS. He is insanely good, possibly...
Urborg is almost strictly worse than City of Traitors in this deck.
Think about it - all it does it make Eye of Ugin tap for 1 mana. When Urborg comes into play,it essentially reads "Tap for 2...
