I started playing in Jr. High when a friend brought over a box of his older brothers' junk cards to an overnight party. We kind of learned the rules, made up multiplayer rules, built decks out of the...

I voted for Memory Jar because I want to live in a world where I can chain Lion's Eye Diamonds and Memory Jars until my opponent is bored and dead.

I also voted for pretty much everything on the...

He's Dr.Jones reincarnated! Just exchange Force of Will for "Blue Shell".

Just going to go on record and say that I don't care what color of mana is being tapped to do things, so long as cool things are being done. When I look at that top 16 and see a bunch of decks doing...

Because let's pretend the return of Shardless, Tarmogoyf, Kird Ape etc. don't represent a meta shift. Not to mention Storm, S&T, and the Delver/Blade variants being completely different decks from a...

Top 16 actually looks pretty diverse. You got aggro, mid-range aggro, spell-combo, creature combo, control, and a graveyard deck.

Seems fine to me.

Edit/PS: it also seems to demonstrate that...

If you're sporting 2100$ worth of cardboard, at an event that requires travel and/or work leave, it's not that unreasonable of an expectation.

Make it an optional feature, and if 70% of players...

That guy is pretty nutso.

What's the Over/Under for how long Jeskai Ascendancy stays legal in Modern? Standard?

Your fast mana examples are all spot on, I just didn't list every possible thing for brevity's sake.

"Powerful engine cards are allowed" could easily have its own point, but I believe my point...

The effect is blue, but the cost-reduction mechanic is decidedly black. Blue/Red is supposed to be the worst color at using the graveyard as a resource (B->G->W->U/R).

I think the railing against...

Things that define the Legacy environment:

1. Access to tier one mana selection: ABU duals + Fetches

2. Access to tier two fast mana: Rituals, Mox Diamond, Chrome Mox, Lotus Petal, LED

3....

Out of all those cards printed after Invasion none, except Serum Visions, had even a negligible impact on their respective Standard formats. The cards printed before Invasion that had any sort of...

Not at all current or up-to-date, but Legacy format cards that are my likes/dislikes shortened for brevity or uniqueness:

Favorites:

Stifle - Flexible utility card that has a target in against...

One of my all time favorite combos. Especially against new players who've never seen it before and have to wrap their minds around the combo. While bouncing it is fun, just riding the +20 Life and...

The problem with those types of cards is that they need to be cheap enough to be effective (cmc<3) and not splashable. Which leaves us with GG being the only relevant mana-cost. It probably also...

As to the blue bitch-fest:

Yeah the eternal game is unbalanced in favor of blue. Why? Because Wizards doesn't really care about Legacy or Vintage and historically, the game balance mistakes have...

Mind Twist, Black Vise, and Earthcraft I'll give you, but no one thinks those really need to be on the banned list anyways.

Mystical Tutor on the other hand? Crazy Talk.
