Nice, that seems pretty solid of a plan to me then.

I would say that Mystic Sanctuary is safely in the Commander-only playable category. It's nuts in that format when you can buy back Treasure Cruise, but in Legacy it would need to be worth the same...

I know there are many factors to consider for all the variants, but I saw this deck that is just quad-laser focused on their game plan. No fussing around with numbers, just give me 4 of the cards I...

Those are fair points, which are all valid when really digging deep into how legacy as a format works. I was more interested in arguing against a simplistic view of Daze than trying to capture its...

What if...stay with me now...they never have to play into it because they are always playing around it. That doesn't make Daze a bad card necessarily, but it does change the dynamic of the different...

Come on buddy, you know that just the threat of Daze changes play patterns. That's level 1 legacy.

Does Dress Down and Suspend make mono-blue viable? I know I'm a broken record on this, so I apologize for that, but I would love to have a non-dual manabase deck for legacy. I think I'm going to get...

I don't think it's necessary to play Standstill if you're playing Uro and Ice-Fangs. Both of those are fine ways of recouping cards lost to Dreadnought and give velocity. Ponder doesn't play very...

First off, I haven't seen any lists with Mystic Reflection. I see decks playing Brazen Borrower main/side all the time, it's a legacy staple at this point. Regardless of the specific reason we play...

Often I have heard the criticism for mono-blue being that it isn't fast enough because you can't get there with one PD hit, you need a Bolt + Delver hit as well. I am convinced the difference between...

Mystic Reflection has some problems of its own, especially that it only works alongside Dreadnought to be truly valuable. I think it's a trap card that gives a high ceiling but a low enough floor...

My personal opinion is that Lazav is a commander card for fun combos, not a legacy playable threat. Scroll of Fate is just a much better card, period.

If anyone is interested, I'm trying to...

I think you're probably better off playing Shadow if you want a tempo UB list; it doesn't need any extra cards like Stifle to make a big dude, just high velocity and synergy with the mana-base.

You are alone in this sentiment, I think. For myself, I will not operate under the assumption that I need to build my decks with Hymn to Tourach and Counterbalance in mind. That just isn't reality. I...

That's ridiculous; you're the only person that I've ever read about Hymn being a ban-worthy card. The most protected card by bans is Brainstorm, I don't think there is a reasonable debate about it,...

People pay him to play their decklists, you could argue because they like to explore fun, even if bad, deck ideas. He's very honest about how good/bad the deck performs as well; he gives it a small...

Myth Realized

Check out ELD's Time Vault games on YouTube, there are a handful of matches where Rood is playing his signature Ur Dreadstill list. Pretty good insight on how to play the deck, Rodney has been...

Comparing a new card to niche matchups isn't really that productive; there will always be decks that can work around new cards. You aren't beating Maverick with your removal anyways, they have way...

Mono-blue also gets Bind the Monster, which is at least an upgrade from Vapor Snag. After getting Scroll of Fate and Brazen Borrower the deck gets much closer to U/Colorless with every new card...

This makes the card even better. I think I'll nab some copies, if only to tool around with.

If you haven't gotten a lot of time in with Dreadstill, its certainly possible to lose with a Dreadnought in play. It's actually pretty fragile against most of Legacy's removal. It's niche, but...

The big implication, at least for my approach as a mono-blue player, is to synergize it with Scroll of Fate and Dreadnought. It forces a sacrifice trigger for opponents when they play Uro/Oko so it...

Discuss.

What does red really offer? Bolts and Pyroblasts? I don't know if those are worth the splash right now. I've always liked mono-blue and a card I'd like to try out is Ashiok,Dream Render. Wasteland,...
