  1. Re: Do you think Wizards will ever again print dual lands that are better than shocks

    This entire game is a "luxury good", it's just that RL shit is ridiculous.

    My take:
    1. WOTC doesn't care about us or our format
    2. Their design philosophy and company decisions actively hurt our...
  2. Re: How would a ban of Fetchlands in Legacy impact our favorite format?

    Surprised I didn't see this answer.

    Your local legacy scene has 10 players. Cutting fetches / Brainstorm / blue makes 6 of them have shitty decks that are no longer playable. Buying a new deck...

    Sticky: Poll: Re: All B/R update speculation.

    The poll from this thread has goyf as the second-highest voted card for a ban. Ha, we didn't know how good we had it. At this point I just expect WOTC to print some stupid format-warping card every 4...
  4. Re: What guarantee is there that fakes that pass all the tests aren’t already out the

    Even if my opponent has a fake card... why would I care? It doesn't change the actual game state at all. I bet there is some healthy percentage of players that already use proxies and have been for...
  5. Re: What guarantee is there that fakes that pass all the tests aren’t already out the

    I already swapped out my duals for proxies. No one can tell them apart. I can't either, I only know by keeping them separately.

    I currently play "beta duals" in my deck. No one can tell those are...
  6. Poll: Re: Would you be upset if WOTC allows proxies for reserve list cards at sanctioned ev

    Not really an intellectual argument, just one vote- I would *love* unlimited (reasonable quality) proxies because removing the primary barrier of entry yields more opponents. I still play this game...
  7. Re: Banhammer swings like Babe Ruth, hits everything

    See that's the thing, I'm not sure either. Kind of agree with Zoid.

    Not to say that it's exactly the same, but when I was a developer of a competitive game we had situations like this come up too....
  8. Re: Banhammer swings like Babe Ruth, hits everything

    Maybe this is a shitter take but I have the opposite stance of MaximumC. I get that sometimes they make mistakes, even really bad ones like Mental Misstep and Treasure Cruise. But..... eh. 2019 power...

    Re: [Primer] UB Death's Shadow

    So... maybe this is a bad interpretation, but are you saying that it's best to simply avoid anything with summoning sickness and/or a pyroblast target? Maybe I missed out on the nuance somehow?

    If...

    Re: [Primer] UB Death's Shadow

    First let me state that I really like Delver in this deck. The point is to get them dead, and I really like that early Delver makes early Daze / Wasteland / Thoughtseize better just by existing. I...

    Controversial opinion, but I think green was kind of underpowered for a while there. That said, I think Once Upon a Time fills that hole nicely. I'm not sure there really needs to be something else,...

    Isn't a reasonable occurrence comparison between a two-color hate card against some of the mainline staples of the format kind of a strong early warning indicator? And subsequently reinforcing the...

    Re: How to save Legacy

    I think changing priority for the card type would be rather difficult though, wouldn't it? I've heard the idea before to just lend summoning sickness to the card type as well, but that might just...

    Re: [Primer] UB Death's Shadow

    Agree on the basic island. I think after playing this deck for a while, you start to see how bad the basics really are in this deck. It was advertised as a potential budget deck when it came out in...

    Re: How to save Legacy

    I agree with this. That said, with my idea Miracles also loses Jace too. Being forced to use a more interactive win-con might make the deck much more reasonable to negotiate.

    I really do think...

    Re: How to save Legacy

    Okay fair enough. Can't really argue that.

    I know this is contrary to my prior post, but I'm not sure the barrier of entry to Legacy is necessarily a bad thing? This is speculating but I...

    Re: How to save Legacy

    I don't think the format needs saving. However, here is my opinion on how to really help the legacy community:

    1. Accept the increasingly grassroots nature of the format and community. Host...

    Re: [Primer] UB Death's Shadow

    I am of the opinion that this deck has gotten considerably worse over the course of the last year. UBx Delver decks have pretty much always been an amalgamation of Good Cards and will likely be...

    @ kombatkiwi

    Do you mind posting your list as it sits? I'm curious what your spell suite looks like to support what is at this point a pretty radically different threat base.

    It's not new but I think you could add Winter Orb to the list of possible sideboard cards.

    Well, his list doesn't have a basic swamp.

    However, mine does. It's good that you pointed that out though since they are definitely related. Good catch.
