My vote is to ban Delver, Snapcaster, and Terminus. You can throw TNN in there, as well.
Alternatively, ban things until Wild Nacatl is good. And then don't ban Wild Nacatl.

I was literally just talking with some friends about this very issue. My buddy asked if I wanted to go to the prerelease for the new set, and I was like "I have no idea, I haven't thought about it at...
Hey all, with GP: Las Vegas coming up, I finally have an excuse to get myself back into Legacy. It's been several years since I last played, and even longer since I played seriously. Junk was the...
Hey guys, it's been a couple years since I've played Legacy, but I had the chance to jam some side events at GP:SJ, where I went 8-1-1 overall (4-1, then 4-0-1).
First, the list!
22 Land - 8...
That Misthollow Griffin beatdown...
I just sold my MTGO collection to them; the whole process was very smooth and easy. I sent in my list for appraisal last Friday evening and received an offer yesterday. I accepted the offer and...
Hey all, I'm getting back into the game after some time off, and I've been playing Jund at the last couple of local tournaments. I played one tournament with Punishing Fire and one without (in...
Does this start at 6 or 7? The OP says 7, but SDG&C's site says 6...
I'm for sure going to show up this week, wielding a completely outdated Zoo deck. I haven't actually played this format in like a year and a half. Looking forward to it!
I'm usually busy on Thursday nights, but I hope I can start making out to some of these.
If this was on Tuesday, I would be soooo happy. But, I'll probably stop by this Thursday, and I hope to...
Your opponent should probably take Brainstorm. You basically have to go runner-runner-runner Land in order to do anything and you're not really interacting with him, at all. Taking Brainstorm means...

Excellent article, Chris. Thanks for taking the time to do the research and analysis!

Ari makes some valid points. I tend to agree that MM is definitely not...
I definitely agree with a lot of what you've written, Chris. The issues you bring up are basically why I've basically stopped posting.
I feel the really important take-away from the article is...
Treetop Village is insane.
Windswept Heath is the most important fetchland, so you should be playing four of that.
I suppose it depends on your meta, but I dislike Umezawa's Jitte, especially...
The first step is to understand what you want to be doing in each matchup.
Here's my current list:
21 Lands, with 11 Fetchlands, 3 Basics, and 1 Treetop Village
4 Steppe Lynx
4 Wild...
You should be SB'ing Steppe Lynx out against Aggro decks.
People probably have no idea 1) how to build a good sideboard and 2) how to sideboard correctly. Also, people are probably not building their maindeck correctly in relation to the current metagame....
Crazy Fred's (www.crazyfreds.com) in La Mesa holds weekly Legacy tournaments on Sundays, starting at 1.
I'm going to show up this Sunday. Doubtful there'll be enough for a tournament, but...
Ranger of Eos.
Against Combo? Sure.
Against the rest of the format? Not really.
I don't think BBE is where you want to be, though; it doesn't really have any value in any matchup. There are at least two...
You need more 1-drops, and Watchwolf is terrible.
11 1-drops is the absolute minimum I'd ever play in non-Big Zoo. Unless I'm playing the mirror/Aggro matchup, I will mulligan a hand without a...
Do people still play Legacy around here?
I was here over the summer and went to a couple weekly tournaments, but then I left and I've been gone for the last several months. Now, I'm back,...
