I don't find Miracles oppressive, but if it was, the solution would clearly be to unban Goblin Recruiter.

Nope, you know nothing. Please read and learn why Recruiter is banned: http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?14662-All-B-R-update-speculation&p=882997&viewfull=1#post882997

I made that...

The reality is that you have no clue about how others think, sorry.
I like Brainstorm because it facilitates so many different decks and strategies. I simply enjoy the diversity of the format as it...

You left out this interesting part from the article about 'reasonable' consistency:



By extension, if this applied to Legacy as well, which is obviously doesn't, but if it did, then we were...

"Diversity" is not synonymous with "fun." seems to be implying that the format in its current state is not diverse but merely "fun".
I think Legacy is diverse.
Not only is it diverse, Brainstorm is...

Exactly. They feel contrived, and forced.

No. That is nothing but a widely spread myth.
Recruiter has NEVER been banned for "logistic reasons" in any format - ever. Please offer proof to back up this false claim, or stop spreading it.

Wait.. what? What the hell is a "BS-defender"? Is it a normal, active Legacy player?
I agree that Survival would be fine right now to shake things up. Let's have it back and see how it goes. Goblin...

Not entirely true.
Power level is one thing, but the primary purpose of the banned list is diversity - to ensure that there are multiple competitive decks for the tournament player to choose from.

Recruiter has always been banned in Legacy.

It was on a short list of cards that were banned "for being banned in Extended", at the time Legacy was created.
It was banned in Extended in December...

Now there is a personal opinion... I have been playing Legacy since its inception, as you probably have, and I have never enjoyed the format as much as I do right now.
For the record.
Maybe...

I think the UWR Delver decks has mostly fallen off in favor of more controllish builds. This leaves you with these options:
Canadian Threshold (Nimble Mongoose, Stifle)
Team America (Deathrite...

If Hasbro ever wanted to kill Legacy, this would be the way to do it. My guess is that more than half the player base would instantly rage quit.

Why is this thread the most active on this website?...

That is not the point of Selkie. The point is that you have more cards that control decks must deal with right away, or lose the game fast.
It is obviously too slow in a fast meta, but can work in a...

Pretty much. This thread is the Brainstorm-hater/Color-equilibristic self-help group.

The list is geared towards this meta: http://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/legacy#online

Take a break already. We know your point of view, do you think this is a shouting contest? Behave yourself, this is the internet.

Also, what if Grisly Salvage cost {B/G}, and had "Grisly Salvage...

This was the first Legacy GP in Japan, in all of Asia afaik, ever. Many of the participants might never have played with Brainstorm at a premier event like this, ever.
Can you really blame them for...

I like the genereal idea behind more cantrips, and I can even get behind 2 Vines because the card is really clunky at times, especially with Inkmoth.
But I don't think it makes any sense to add 4...

Based on my experience, I would have to say Dark Maverick is the scariest on that list. The combination of Wasteland, StP, Abrupt Decay, AND Stoneforge/Jitte, plus Zealous Persecution and what not...

That does sound interesting. What's his reasoning for Preordain over Ponder?

I don't subscribe, but judging from the Facebook comments he has made a variant Infect deck with Living Wish. This is something I have also considered. Basically move 1 Inkmoth to the sideboard, and...

There are a few interesting cards for Legacy, and the rest of the set is useless (un)limited waste of paper. That is how it always is, and how it should be.

Except for the waste of cardboard,...
