I think you would restrict non-essential, low supply, high demand Reserve List cards like ABUR duals, Gaea's Cradle, Serra's Sanctum, etc... but you would not restrict essential RL cards like LED and...

Wouldn't the trinity manifesto cripple combo decks too much? You would have to unban a lot of tutors to keep combo decks like Solidarity playable and I'm not even sure that's enough.

However,...

It's better now than two months ago, but I would say Ouphe, Echo, Plague Engineer, Gobbo Engineer, Force of Vigor, Planebound Apprentice, Generous Gift, Geomancer's Gambit, Unsettled Mariner, Cordial...

I think a lot of Modern players are playing Pioneer right now (out of frustration with Modern Horizons + bannings), but that rate isn't going to hold. Then they will go back to Modern. So long term...

Then you're going to need to freeze Legacy in cryogenic storage like Old School.

It is if the game is dead otherwise.

And WotC isn't killing Legacy. WotC has done all they can. Legacy was born with a terminal birth defect. Again, like Hickman, if you've read his New Avengers...

Delver of Secrets and Modern Horizons/2019 is more Ship of Theseus than getting rid of 10 cards, of which 3 don't see any play except in "budget" (i.e. non-blue, non-green) decks.

This is...

... my WHOLE POINT is that $400 dual lands are unhealthy for Legacy so we must get rid of them
Accepting counterfeit cards like you are suggesting would solve one problem but create an even worse...

Ah. Now you really have made me find the quote from The Man in the High Castle. Authenticity is definitely a theme in pretty much all of PKD's works (what is authentic life in Do Androids Dream of...

I thought you were being sarcastic. Only the Japanese one is fake as far as I can tell.

Ofcourse I'm a pretty terrible judge of authenticity if I can't even tell between sarcasm and sincerity.
...

Some of you are in denial about the existence of hq fakes even despite the evidence that I've posted and that you can find elsewhere.

It's hard to imagine that mtgsalvation users are better...

The two English were 80 yuan each, the Japanese was 70 yuan and the Chinese was 60 yuan.

If I picked up 4 fetches from a kid, they probably ARE fake. Right beside the 80 revised dual lands in...

Hey everyone! Guess what? I picked up another winner at the card shop today! So who wants to play another round of Which Card is the Counterfeit?

You're not a very careful reader, I see.
Or else it's some sort of English translation difficulty.

is this sarcasm

You know baseline cards are real because you ripped them out of booster packs yourself back in the 90's.

There is expertise in detecting counterfeit cards. There's experts who do this, some of...

I started playing Magic when I was 13. I'm now 39. I'm thinking about retirement- many of my classmates from high school have already been retired for a few years now. When I want to have fun, there...

Once even a loupe cannot reveal counterfeit dual lands, it becomes a problem since people will still try to buy and sell dual lands at $400 assuming it has value due to scarcity, when in fact anyone...

The counterfeiter did not use the same printing process as Carta Mundi.

I have not gotten my set of counterfeit dual lands yet but let me show you a fake Meditate that I picked up last month from one of the most reputable stores in China.
...

Ok but if we get rid of dual lands, then it would be fair since no one would be using duals against shocklands. That's part of the point.

At this point keeping duals around is purposefully keeping...

Yes. I've been doing the investigating that ESG recommended a few weeks back and about 100 posts ago. I hope to have enough sources and better information to submit a report to WotC.

I'm also...

Doesn't matter since you've presumedly ignored me.

Force of Will, Brainstorm and Wasteland are not POWERFUL cards. They are BALANCED cards. And Legacy is not a POWER format. It was intended to be...

It just amuses me to see Legacy labeled as a power format.

I remember the first time I ever saw a Legacy tournament being held and it was just people durdling with Brainstorms, Fetchlands and...

WotC cares enough about Modern to ban Oko there. That shows they CARE.
