    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    Monday’s article said that 2019 was more or less what they wanted from power w of new sets, barring some obvious mistakes and dialing back 3cmc walkers.

    Grant me sone speculative stats if you...

    Re: Abolish the Reserve List Petition

    I seriously doubt this will ever happen. Wizards is fine with what happened to vintage and they’re more than comfortable with the same thing happening to legacy.

    They not so secretly want the...

    Re: Throne of Eldraine Spoilers

    I agree on the goose. It is the only card I preordered so far. It can be had now for about $5. I can see it getting played heavily in standard, so the price may increase after release. I think $5 is...

    Re: Modern Horizons Spoilers

    I would go as far to say that wizards sees prohibitively expensive cards as a feature. It adds a layer of intrigue to the game it would not have if everything was affordable. These cards don’t really...

    Re: Modern Horizons Spoilers

    MH will make modern more like poor man’s legacy. I expect a bunch of format policing answers that are too strong for standard. The threats and synergies in modern are already on this level.

  6. Re: Speculation on planeswalkers going forward

    I agree with all of your examples. I don't think it's not that 3/4 Mana planeswalkers can't end the game, it's that they can't be protected for a few turns for a game breaking ultimate.

    Karn is a...
  7. Re: Speculation on planeswalkers going forward

    That is some righteous nerd rage. Well done.

    I know I wrote quite a bit, but you didn't actually address the point. The uncommon planeswalkers by definition can't have an ultimate. Some if the...
  8. Speculation on planeswalkers going forward

    I originally posted this to the mtgfinance Reddit, because I think it's one of the better places for MTG discussion in general. The force is less populated, but probably the best. I'll part it here...

    Re: Modern Horizons Spoilers

    There are too many cards on this list I doubt they’d print.

    I’m stoked for counterspell. I think FOF will be in it too, but won’t be played.

    Astral slide is another strong possibility.

    Re: MTG Arena

    I agree with standard being better than modern now. Legacy is still King of course.

    The problem with modern isn't that there are 20 decks, it's that all of the aggressive decks choose to attack at...

    Re: MTG Arena

    Maybe a small cash grab to end mtgo is also possible. I agree with your premise, a mass end of the reserved list would signal the game is done.

    Re: MTG Arena

    I don't think they're likely to end the reserve list. It doesn't really come with any benefit to wizards. I think if they do, it will probably be on some kind of self limiting basis that doesn't...

    Re: MTG Arena

    I have some thoughts vis-a-vis arena and the reserve list.

    I don't believe there is any real intention to implement any sets older than standard plus on arena (kaladesh forward would be my guess)....

    Re: MTG Arena

    Legacy will always be my favorite, but I've been playing a lot of arena. It's convenient, fast, and fun. I love playing UW draw-go, so I'm happy to jam my control brew every day.

    As someone who...
  15. Re: Wizards - From Hipsters of the Coast Podcast

    Have you tried the list? I remember him saying he cut the patrons and thalias, and I don't recall any mention of Amber. How is it working for you?

    Based off of what he said, I came up with this.

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

    To be honest, top would definitely give miracles a boost, but I don't think the gap is even as big as everyone thought when it was banned. Even before the top ban, miracles was moving toward a more...

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

    Hi all,

    I'm no legacy expert, but I try to play when I can, and have most of the decks built, so I have a passing familiarity with just about everything. I think this B&R update will pass without...

    Re: [Blog Post] Thoughts on B&R updates

    As for legacy, I am ambivalent on the TC banning. It was, in my estimate, a 50/50 proposition. It was only with us briefly, and it was a common. Basically, like mental misstep, it was best to do...

    Daniel,

    Nice work. I thought that the story you highlighted about icing out Jordan was well done, despite the detractors. I for one don't like the reports with details about the 'sick bbq'...

    Is it wrong to feel a little bit of delight over the gp detroit top 8? I honestly want modern to succeed, but I'm still a legacy man at heart. This just makes me smile because the stream of poorly...
  23. Poll: Re: Proposal for Greater Legacy and Modern Support

    BDP,

    You don't need to be a pro or a brewer to make a difference. Legacy will never be a format of pros. It'll always be supported by the local, grass roots enthusiasm. What a lot of people...

    I truly appreciate the time and effort you're investing in this conversation. I'm afraid this is becoming my experience vs. your experience. In other words, we're both technically correct,...

    Re: Legacy's Future

    Do you guys want to know why legacy will never die? It's because we have players who have only been playing for a year with the perspective of Illusions. Not every magic player can play legacy (due...
