Yeah, I'm kinda excited to see how that Prophet will do. He's probably not aggressive enough in Legacy (RW/x SFM, maybe?), but I think he might be pretty neato al fresco in Modern. I'm also glad that...

To be fair, "deicide" is Medieval Latin. It was almost certainly coined to refer specifically to the crucifixion of Christ; in that light, I can see why someone would be upset at casual usage of the...
I'm with Aggro_zombies on the complexity thing.
There's definitely a space for shenanigans, and it's something of a sacred space -- I think the game's better when there's an occasional blind-side...
This has been my thinking of late, too. I don't play nearly as much as Freggle – probably not as much as anyone in this thread, really – but I've been unsatisfied with the deck's heavy reliance on...
I'm serious like cancer when I say this -- this card gives me so much hope for enchantress.

I keep looking at Perplexing Chimera and wondering about it.

Clearly, casting cost is a problem (4U ...), but it...
At a recent Legacy tournament, I faced a guy running a list very similar to this -- same breakdown on the Hymns / Thoughtseizes, if I recall, but I didn't see a TNN or a Tombstalker -- and it wrecked...
I'm pretty passive-aggressive; I usually just leave the shoes lying around and come back later to see who's been trying them on.
To be fair, a lot of us are uncultured swine. I mean, I'm not; I'm more of an uncouth cur, but you know.
Sort of on-topic: Modern's looking a lot more interesting to me, as an uninvested outsider,...
A first-striking red Delver (b/c of pie, dontchaknow) + Young Pyromancer would be a deck core I could get excited about.
I'd actually be interested in seeing how much of a boost Thoughtseize and Co. would get w/o Brainstorm around. I'm pretty sure that mana-free counterspells are just better than targeted discard, but...
Excellent, so we can agree that there are people who play around in the format. That's all I was trying to say -- that there are a few dedicated people who play constantly AND try new things out....
The only abilities on the three big equipment groups hit by Humility are vigilance, lifelink and protection. Everything else on swords and Jitte are always on, and I think we can all agree that, if...
C'mon, IBA, you can do better than to sidestep the issue like that. Of course most players aren't pushing the bleeding edge; that's always been true, for every format. But you've been here long...
It's a hard card to justify. Terminus and Rest in Peace both more-or-less do everything it does, and both cost much less mana. I have a singleton in my side in Enchantress to deal with Sneak and Show...
Arsenal, don't forget that things outside Legacy can have an impact on the format. I'd be willing to bet that Jund's boost was at least partially due to its dominance in Modern and the ease of...
I've often wondered if MM would have worked as intended (ie, Force of Will for ERRYBODY) if it had read "counter target noncreature spell".
Of course, that's still a lot of pseudo-shroud for...
Your opponents pull your cards from your sleeves? Where are you playing? Because it sounds a lot like hell.
To reiterate HammafistRoob's point -- why do they need the real back? Seriously, make the front as drool-inducing as you want -- I'm all for it. I support proxies 100%, and I suspect that just about...
Man, I'd wet myself if some Legacy brew playing Sylvan Basilisks and Silklash Spiders with Intruder Alarm and Tangleroot and Glimpse of Nature ended up being this insurmountable matchup for TNN.
...
Apologies if I'm jumping the gun in responding, nedleeds -- your post looks cut off.
But I'm not convinced that ubiquity and card-enabling are, alone, worthy of banning; part of the problem is...
Re: Brainstorm skillz – For the most part, I find Brainstorm decision trees lack branches. Maybe I'm overthinking, but when you have land + fetch, tap for BStorm, the question of "fetch away trash"...
I'm of two minds about it, myself. It adds a ton of consistency to the format – and that's a huge amount of pressure to keep decks trim and cards efficient. I mean, its mere existence chokes out more...
They look unusually shiny, too. Is that just an artifact of the lighting?
This is worth quoting in its entirety. While there are a lot of fun engines and interactions in the game pushed out by high-power threats and answers -- hell, Swords to Plowshares on its own forces...
