    Re: [DTK] Dragons of Tarkir spoiler thread

    To clarify, I definitely agree with you. My post was mostly sarcastic, hence the '/s'.

    Also, 100% agreed on Sealed being the most variable format, overall. Draft has infinitely more skill...

    Re: Bug rfg

    You might want to consider running a Tasigur in the list. He can exile Elementals and Griffins that end up in your graveyard, and is just generally solid with the potential of being pretty silly if...

    Re: [DTK] Dragons of Tarkir spoiler thread

    Just like in Poker, there's no skill involved in what cards you get? You get what you get, it's all random. No way to win when other people's card are better than mine.

    Just like in Legacy,...

    Re: [DTK] Dragons of Tarkir spoiler thread

    I'm pretty certain Atarka's Command is going to be a staple in Modern Burn. Definitely won't make the cut in Legacy, but it's very nearly strictly better than Skullcrack, which already sees Modern...

    Re: What should "define" the Legacy format?

    I would have to say that Legacy, as a format, is most defined by its ability to be very consistent (by far the most consistent of all formats, IMO), and the methods of gaining that consistency -...

    Re: New Planeswalker from Conspiracy

    Based off the above list, I'm going to try the following and see what happens.

    4 Goblin Welder
    4 Baleful Strix

    2 Thopter Foundry
    1 Sword of the Meek

    2 Dack Fayden
    2 Tezzeret, Agent of...

    Re: New Planeswalker from Conspiracy

    Been brewing for a while now, and I'm actually really digging URx Countertop with Dack. Dack is exceptional with Countertop out, and there are a lot of ways to turn his +1 into CA without much effort...

    Re: New Planeswalker from Conspiracy

    It's not irrelevant. Being able to dig for more answers is useful against every deck, and it only gets more useful the more digging you have to do to find them - that is, the more dead cards you have...

    Pharika is basically equivalent if you're simply rating them in terms of the ability. Scaenging Ooze gives life and makes itself bigger with no drawback if you target the opponent's yard, while...

    Re: [SCD] Identity Nemesis

    It's a lot like Notion Thief - great in its own way and just wins some games all on its own, but it has very tough opposition for slots.

    Probably at its absolute strongest in games where you can...

    Re: Punishing Pyromancer

    Thing about Diamonds is that they just win games. Being able to reliably cast Pyromancer with double Therapy on turn two is very strong. Providing more fuel for DRS/Loam is also pretty good. Probes...

    Re: [SCD] Waste Not

    Want Not isn't a viable Legacy card, but it is fun, interesting, and fills a nice that isn't generally filled well.

    Compared to Theros - nearly all chaff with very few cards even perking much...

    I honestly think the list is just a worse version of Jund if you aren't accelerating into some stupid plays via Diamond. I can agree, though, on upping the land and Terravore count, although I never...

    I think you're missing a large part of the reason Sculler is so good - if you play him and then sacrifice him with his trigger on the stack, you can permanently exile cards, similar to playing...
  18. Re: [Development] A Glimpse of Stormy Kobold Clouds

    Aluren wins by doing the exact same thing this deck does - playing a ton of free dudes. Once you get to the point where you're playing through all your free guys both decks have, essentially, already...
  19. Re: [Development] A Glimpse of Stormy Kobold Clouds

    More of a question than a condemnation, but what differentiates this deck from simply being a weaker version of Alluren?

    Nah. Theros doesn't really add much to constructed play in terms of MBC, and the pool outside of Theros isn't super great. Maybe some form of MB something will show up, but I'm not seeing control as...

    Absolutely agree. Devotion will see zero play outside of limited, and will see very little play even in limited - I'm close to 100% certain mono-black is the only color that uses it well there and...

    Mono-black is the only limited deck that really takes advantage of Devotion. A deck full of Merchants and Disciples with Whip of Erebos out is not something you want to deal with in Limited. I ended...

    Re: Theros thread

    Akroan Hopilite's not half bad. Basically a weaker Piledriver that doesn't require you to be playing Goblins. Probably won't see Legacy play but it's definitely good enough for Modern.
