Ban everything until Tarpan is the best.

I think most North Americans would tell you that Zoo was killed by Show and Tell and the decline of Merfolk.

I think it's interesting that everyone has a different explanation for the disappearance of Zoo. Might just be the different metagames in North America and Europe at that time.

When I tuned in the glare on the cards was so bad you couldn't recognize them, life totals were not correct, deck names were just dumb jokes, and at least one person was literally just screaming into...

Moderator of /r/mtglegacy here. Thanks so much! "Be less awful than the Source" is definitely part of our moderating philosophy. We don't put up with personal attacks, slurs, etc.

I agree that the...

The "past performance" argument is what everyone runs out when I tell them I think Mana Drain could be unbanned (in a post-Miracles environment).

"B-b-but I used to play three in Vintage!...

I get the sense from the comments that Sam Black's article is mostly about Modern, but he does argue for banning Sensei's Divining Top in Legacy on the basis that 1) Miracles is too dominant in...

I've played Personal Tutor in Storm to try to do Past in Flames tricks like that. It isn't that good; you can't actually ever resolve a one-drop after turn one right now.

Mystical Tutor is too good, but only because it's nuts with Show and Tell or Counterbalance or both.

I like that in this conversation about how dominant Counterbalance and Chalice of the Void are, we're now discussing the conditions under which High Tide could make a comeback.

The worst thing about this thread is that it's making me agree with Lemnear about anything. Ugh.

Also, Ronald Deuce is a good person with good ideas and you should listen to him.

Comparisons to Force of Will and Wasteland mean either that you don't understand what's being argued, in which case you should probably not post here, or you're being disingenuous, in which case you...

Necropotence would cause an interesting shift in the way Tendrils decks are built. You'd play three or four Tendrils and probably zero engines other than Necropotence, hope to Tendrils on turn two or...

Not everyone who plays Abrupt Decay plays Deathrite Shaman. And again, the problem isn't that Abrupt Decay is too much better than the alternatives, it's that the alternatives are so bad, and the...

What doesn't make sense about this? People feel railroaded into playing Abrupt Decay because it's the only way to fight the current lock-based metagame. The format might be made more fun and...

You might be on to something here, but even if the problem is only that there isn't a great enough variety of good answers to cards like Counterbalance and Chalice of the Void, the only option is a...

I've been saying this lately too. You don't want to give combo free rein, but it feels like the pendulum needs to swing back toward actually letting people cast and resolve spells sometimes.

Trying to preserve the original intent of a card can be pretty tricky after major rules changes (the stack, mana burn, etc.) It's not like the original designers are always around to explain how they...

There's always MTGO data. I know they sometimes look at which cards are most correlated with victory, etc.

Announcements for changes to the Banned & Restricted lists are done all together on the Monday after a new set's Prerelease, to go into effect with that set's release.

Desire for two or three seems pretty risky to me.

Ban Top, unban Drain.

I think some very early Miracles-type decks played Land Tax, but people pretty quickly came to their senses.

And Werebear was a big deal. 2004-era Type 1.5 says nothing about Legacy in 2016.

Drain is fine in Legacy. If you want a turn three Jace you can already have it. Maybe it's too much in High Tide though.
