Living in the Seattle area, I recognize quite a few of the names in R&D, and many of them play Legacy (and I would speculate that the majority of them even regard it as their personal favorite...

By Eternal standards, it is a complete derp deck. But in Modern, there are plenty of matches where the most interactivity you'll get is "play my shockland tapped against Burn", so Splinter Twin is...

This.

I would definitely start giving Elves, Maverick, Zoo, Jund, Lands, and Painter serious consideration again as my primary deck if Brainstorm got banned. There is a huge dropoff between Brainstorm and...

Thought experiment after watching a bunch of Cube videos where no one ever picks Necropotence: if it were legal in Legacy, what would be the best shell for it?

An engine combo deck like Storm,...

I've played more than 15 different decks in the past year, and I'm currently playing a TNN deck as primary (with the best results I've ever had since I began playing Legacy).

I don't think the...

Considering the logical contortions you had to go through to discredit decks that have been successful, I hope you're not labeling me as having selective perception.

I also hope you're willing to...

No, Lemnear just has contempt for anyone not playing a combo deck. Everyone knows that statement was false.

I couldn't care if they banned every single post-8th/Mirrodin card in Modern, that format actually needs cards like Force of Will and Wasteland added in the worst way.

No changes

In my case, I adapted by picking up TNN decks and apologizing profusely to each opponent for playing a "bitch" card.

I wouldn't mind seeing them get banned in Modern so that Legacy players can acquire them more cheaply.

Agreed. I haven't agreed with every single WotC decision with regards to B&R (basically, banning Mystical Tutor in 2020 before Miracles had existed as a mechanic--I agree it would be busted now), but...

Black Vise is one of the safest cards on the banned list.

Oath of Druids is probably the most dangerous card printed since 1995 (Urza's Block notwithstanding).

You're entitled to your own opinions, but if you're going to confuse the results of Standard events from over two years ago as those of "recent Legacy events", people are going to believe that you...

You're going to need to supply a link for that. There's not even a deck in Legacy that usually plays 4 Jaces, and Jace decks make up about a third of the format, so there's no way every single deck...

If Magus of the Bazaar is an example of a balanced or amazing utility creature for you, then Legacy may not be the format with the appropriate power level for you. That card has never been even...

Play Punishing Fire, never lose another game to a Stoneforge Mystic.

You asked whether the metagame was still dominated by blue decks ("stagnant" with "Jace decks, tempo decks, and blue combo decks"), and the answer was clearly no, whether you look at aggregate stats...

Let's use the Bazaar of Moxen as a guide then, since it's the largest and most competitive non-GP Legacy event.

Main event in May with 709 players? Eight different archetypes: Elves (#2), Jund...

Sure, but I hardly believe Jund, Elves, and Maverick are budget, off-the-radar type decks.

I will play my Jace decks, my tempo decks, and my blue combo decks when I feel they are good choices, and...

Any reason to believe that "Jace Deck X" and "Tempo Deck Y" are magically underrepresented in smaller events?

Price even more so than its tutoring ability.

Card advantage is overrated in Legacy and Vintage.

Even with that ridiculous oversimplification of the format, you batted 2 for 5 on the top decks of June 2013:

1. RUG (40 tops)
2. BUG Control (35 tops)
3. Jund (23 tops)
4. Elves (20 tops)
5....
