I was just about to ask the same thing. Something like this:
4 Deathrite Shaman
3 Baleful Strix
3 Snapcaster Mage
4 Monastery Mentor
4 Lingering Souls

Has anyone considered a version with an all-basics manabase and mainboard 4 Root Maze 4 Back to Basics? Seems like that would hate all over the entire Legacy format. (Other than maybe like, Death and...
A few pages back there was discussion of Sakura-Tribe Scout plus Quirion Ranger being a combo. Did people totally forget about the "Use this ability only once each turn" clause, or am I missing...
Oh god, mine too! I also added

Mist Dragon
Force of Nature
Warping Wurm
Flood
Survival of the Fittest
Plated Spider
Capsize
Dakkon Blackblade
Time Spiral
Grim Monolith
I don't see what's special about Goblin War Drums, but the others are definitely interesting, thanks!
I wonder if there's an extended discussion of "as though" clauses anywhere in the rules. I...
And in the Mirror Gallery vein:
Brothers Yamazaki
I know it's been a long thread, but Word of Command, Masako, and Laboratory Maniac have all been mentioned. I suggest Ctrl-F or the 'Search Thread' thingie.
Misthollow Griffin: Definitely invokes...
There's a few cards which let you cast your opponents' spells... but I don't know if they allow you to play lands, which Shared Fate apparently does.
Good point.
...hence not golden rule.

Winner. As far as I can find, there's no mention of these possibilities in the Rules.
Good catch.
That's what I said. :)
I'm not sure if "Players skip their untap steps." invokes the golden rule. I think "Permanents don't untap during their controllers' untap steps."...
Unique for sure (there's also Sorin Markov now, and anything else?), but, like Time Stop, this is a case where they came up with a new effect and then expanded the Rules to define what it means.

Thanks for the replies! I'm not entirely sure about Trinisphere -- cost increases and decreases are covered by the Rules -- but that's definitely a solid candidate, and a unique and strange card at...
This is a kind of thought experiment / research expedition. Most cards draw support for their abilities from various parts of the CompRules: activated abilities, triggered abilities, replacement...
Perhaps someone can point me to an earlier post discussing this, but with Top, Map, Needle, and Candelabra all being staples in the deck, do Trinket Mages really not deserve to be in it? I mean,...
This is from the perspective of someone who's been out of Legacy for a few years and slightly off topic, but: if Wrath of God for :w: doesn't beat Goblins, what does? Is there anything it loses to...
Definitely the danger of cool things, but it would be really cool to play Godo with some kind of universal haste enabler in play. For the same kind of "oops, swing for 14" reasons. But the only...
I don't think this card should be dismissed easily. For the same amount of mana as a Braingeyser, you get to cast the cards you drew for free - assuming they're instants or sorceries with CMC less...
Faerie is crap, I'm not sure why people are giving it a second look. We had a whole cycle of these in Invasion block and basically none of them were good (except Cavern Harpy in Aluren). :u: for 2/1...
This might be one of those situations where the question is harder than the answer. What do we even mean by "best card"? Is it even possible to define that precisely? In any case, one part of our...
Tendrils of Agony.
Edit: Mind's Desire
Chalice of the Void or Chrome Mox
Engineered Explosives?
Counterbalance
...upon reflection maybe they shouldn't have printed it at all. I'm reminded of the reason I hate Wasteland. Wasteland is a staple in a lot of decks primarily for the mana denial aspect, but a side...
They should've printed Abrupt Decay three years ago.
The card you want there might be Squandered Resources rather than Reprocess, but that's moving away from the Black Tide idea.
I haven't posted anything, but my inspiration is Gifts control from Vintage. Combo-control feels like one of the strongest possible archetypes, by combo-control meaning control that combos because it...
