Real talk - when are they going to get rid of the ancient poll results in this thread? I'd be interested in seeing a new poll of which card should be banned in Legacy with "no bans" as an option.

Solitary Confinement and an Enchantress are in play, bro.

I'm loving this metagame. I'm just hoping Wizards doesn't hop on the "ban Dig Through Time" wagon. I know it's completely personal preference, but I prefer to play in a meta where the most popular...

Brainstorm is a card, not an archetype. The "I hate Bstorm people" keep acting like all Brainstorm decks are the same. Legacy is the most diverse format in Magic even if three quarters of the top 8...

Agreed. Honestly Death and Taxes is the worst matchup for many of the Brainstorm decks I play in tournaments. And Elves ravages Delver. The format is great IMO.

I'm just glad no one seems to be calling for the banning of Dig Through Time. Dig Through Time is a very interesting card, and I like where the format is right now with Dig in a lot of the decks....

You can play an 8 Blood Moon deck to beat greedy manabases with no basic lands. The tools exist in Legacy to beat a variety of decks and strategies.

The problem is still this opinion that the...

This shows a complete lack of understanding for how Brainstorm works and why it is important to Legacy. Brainstorm makes Legacy more skill-intensive because it decreases the number of losses due to...

I don't understand the Brainstorm hate. The powerful Legacy cantrips allow for tighter, more skill-intensive games and are a big reason why the format is so much fun. If you want to play a format...

I agree that there is no need for Modern to be like Legacy. My problem with the format is the manner in which they do bannings. If they did bannings like this in other formats, whatever deck is the...

It looks like a lot of people feel this way, but the problem is that Modern is supported by a PTQ season, a PT, more Grand Prixs, and even the Modern FNM option, whereas Legacy is not. I play both...

I'm pretty sure Wizards has no idea how Legacy works. Why the heck won't they unban some cards like Earthcraft?

I think it is interesting that so many people call for the banning of Show and Tell or at least think banning Show and Tell would be OK. Griselbrand is the real problem in that deck. IMO Griselbrand...

Yeah I agree that Mana Drain's cost prohibitiveness keeps it out of the discussion. As far as the colors go, I think it would be cool if the game had a more balanced color pie from the beginning,...

I want to see the following unbanned:

Black Vise
Earthcraft
Frantic Search
Mana Drain
Memory Jar
Mind Twist
Survival of the Fittest
Yawgmoth's Bargain

Article, not from Wizards though, confirming that the update is tonight:

I have received a lot of conflicting info on...

Oh I see, thanks.

Soooo is the announcement definitely tonight at midnight?

I'd really like to see an updated poll for most bannable card in Legacy. It'd also be cool to see a poll for most UNbannable card in Legacy. I laugh every time I read this thread and see Phyrexian...

I'm surprised there isn't more talk about the unbanning of Survival. Abrupt Decay, Griselbiscuit, and the general increased power level of the format makes the Survival decks much less scary... I...

I think Griselbrand is easily the most ban-able card in Legacy, although I don't think it needs to be banned right now. Show and Tell and maybe Entomb are distant seconds, but I think it's healthy...

Is the announcement tonight?

Is Earthcraft banned because of Squirrel Nest or its power level in a deck like Elves? I feel like Earthcraft is the most unbannable card in the format.

NOTHING needs to be banned, but I really hope they unban Survival; it would be very healthy in this metagame.

Banning Green Sun's Zenith is absurd, and I can't believe people are saying that. If...
