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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Even if the proposed ideas are objectively better (which is hard to speculate already), I'm not sure Legacy could exist without Brainstorm and fetches at this point. You could propose an ideal format...
Maybe I'm the only one but I'm happy with this. Screw one-sided prison effects.
@ 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.
I don't think so, although even if there was I'm not sure that would be the right way to go about it- sideboarding is an imperfect art and picking your 15 cards is a constantly moving target of...
Maybe this is just me but I thought that list looked pretty cool. I think another land over the MD hymn would be reasonable. And Strix is probably not the place to be for a while. But the concept is...
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.
