Just a heads up, as Vines give your creature Troll-Shroud, so it doesn't actually turn off any Berserk effect. Which is why I think Vines is pretty good in this deck, protect a guy from a removal,...

Yeah, maybe in Sneak Attack, since those lands don't stop being 8/8s when he dies, and you end up with a few 8/8s to finish the job even if you don't have any more fat to Sneak Attack into, or your...

I don't play Affinity alot, but how much do you pay for Myr Enforcers in general, and how early do you usually play him? With this guy, you could potentially do something like: Opal, land, next turn,...

So affinity gets a 1G for 4/4 guy (1G for 2/2, metalcraft, +2/+2), will it make affinity more playable, along with the Opal, and probably more metalcrafting cards?

Proliferate only adds 1 counter, it doesn't double it.

Still quite good, but it doesn't give you access to their ultimates immediately.

Also, we get a new Bonesplitter that's indestructible,...

Yeah, Snap + Wall with 3 High Tide effects is infinite mana. Which might sound like a lot to ask for, but it's actually pretty easy to do once you get going.

Once you have that, you can just use...

I don't like Grapeshot in High Tide. You essentially run 1 dead card in Grapeshot, and 3-4 subpar filter effects in Chromatic Stars.

Instead, you can just get infinite mana, Capsize all your...

Yeah, turn 4 is about right. You do get the occasional third turn kill from some decks, but they happen rarely.

Also, there is another deck that's not possible to make online, but pretty good...

They are all on the Wizards website, on the mtgo section.

Here's a link to the most recent one: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/1414884

Just check out the pauper PEs from the online meta, and see whether there are anything that you like to play. There are practically no difference between the offline pauper cardlist and the online...

It's true, sometimes when I have to go to a local tournament, and I have a headache, I often curse at myself for bringing some sort of Doomsday storm deck to the tournament. Playing through 5 rounds...

Seriously, channelfireball should just give Dave Price a writer's position and have him teach these "authors" how to actually write about legacy.

Also, the comments got pretty quiet after Dave...

Going from 4 mana to 5 mana is a pretty big deal in legacy. While there are a bunch of 4 mana playables like Humility and Moat, the most playable 5 mana card? Force of Will (jk, the most played 5...

It's actually the quote from the Goliath, hence "Goliath Sphinx".

Yeah...I play too much starcraft (note present tense too :().

I'm gonna have to go ahead and snatch up as many foil copies of Treasure Hunt as possible. I had to re-read that card 3 times before I was certain I wasn't reading it wrong or something.

It just...

This article was written a LONG time ago. There was no such thing as Sensei's Divining Top back then. During those times, there was a prevailing opinion that, it was worth playing 8 fetchlands in...

I was thinking more along the lines of if your opponent had removal/bounce, as they can't really eot double remove your guys and do whatever, since if they remove the Canonist, they still have to...

Well, Thorn + this + Canonist can be REALLY annoying, and they synergize well with each other. Don't know if it's actually good or not, but it is definitely a pain in the ass.

1 of CB/Top is not consistent enough, I suggest you either play with 3 CB/2 Top + Trinket Mages (in which case it is no longer a Thopter Foundry/Sword combo deck), or something like 1 Sword, 2...

Seriously, against decks with Bolts, don't pass priority and gain +2 if you suspect that your opponent has bolt in his hand. But you can easily still activate the Brainstorm option if your opponent...

Yeah, the problem with Dovescape by itself is that it isn't better than the other combo decks in the format. Plus, legacy decks are generally faster/more disruptive than their extended counterparts,...

Well, at least he will get played in standard for sure, given the dearth of quality blue cards in type 2, Fetch + Brainstorm is godly compared to the crap that is Divinations.

So pick up Jace...

Yeah, I don't think this card is playable in legacy, and I don't even like this for standard. Since unless they are also printing some control deck saviour, getting to the 7th turn so you can have 2...

You have to stifle the leave play trigger. Since you can't do the "activate 5 times and bounce trick" as you can only activate Parallax Nexus any time you could play a sorcery.

Plus, there's always the neat trick of activating fetches when the top card of your library isn't black, to get another chance at turning on the Nocturnus. Something small, but seems worth it if they...
