^ I'm not so sure that "Omnitell will vanish"
It only makes sense in UR Delver so you can pair it with cards that have Awesome™ and also because Delver is fucking cancer so there's no reason to play any other tempo/mana-denial strategy in the...
No because Brainstorm is the actual problem and maybe they should just deal with it instead of dancing around it because of its "legendary reputation" or whatever the fuck excuse people use for...
Perfect example of what a shit mono-color format Legacy has become. One shell to rule them all.
I play the Hearthstone format now.
I actually switched over entirely to EDH but after I moved I don't have a regular EDH playgroup anymore and my friends and I are generally busier than we were...
I thought this was a URx punishing Fire deck from the name.
What's wrong with 4c Loam since uh that's exactly what it is.
They absolutely do define the texture of the game/match, which is why playing against a non-blue deck is a completely different experience than playing against Brainstorm/Force/Ponder.dec
I mean...
Whoa. Et tu, Lemnear?
Diversity of color IS strategic diversity, given, you know, the fact that different colors have access to different sets of powers and mechanics. Otherwise, the color...
You should try opening 1. h4 in chess. I hear it's severely underrepresented in pro games due to the hive mind around e4 and d4.
Going with under, -3. Probably one Elves and one random non-blue gimmick deck in the top 8.
:laugh:
Here's a hint: 1-2 top 8s does not equal several hundred top 8s. Anyone who seriously pretends to contest the idea of Dredge's inferiority to a brainstorm shell (outside of a specific...
Ironically, Vintage actually has a more diverse meta because there Shop and Bazaar exist. Making two strong pillars of non-blue strategies which can support aggro, combo and control.
Meanwhile in...
It seems awful vs. Delver. Which is everywhere right now.
If they don't ban TC I'm out. So net +0 players either way!
Can anyone seriously complain about deck diversity when there's at least six different flavors of Delver to choose from?
You have Snowy White, with the big beats brought by Stoneforge Mystic;...
Expect Legacy: No Changes.
Yeah, "blue tempo decks are really fucking good" is not exactly a new thing in this format.
Beyond that, "decks that play brainstorm are overwhelmingly favored to win stuff" is also not exactly...
Sticky this imo :laugh:
No shit, that's the point? Engine combo decks are designed to blank out an entire swathe of archetypes and should be relegated to the fringe of the format. The fact that you can scrape together some...
If playing sideboard silver bullets is supposed to make a matchup "interactive", then Dredge is an interactive deck.
Dredge is not an interactive deck.
Even mainboard stuff like Thalia does not...
The S&T decks are based on S&T (duh) a spell, to cheat out a permanent that can't be interacted with (Griselbrand, Emrakul). But fair enough there are some super-broken permanents out there, keep...
I think it's fairly obvious myself.
Keep in mind I've always been a Johnny and, for my very first competitive decks, I played solitare decks like Turboland and extended UG enchantress combo. I...
Miracles is the only deck I really have left, as I put everything else into making tons of EDH decks.
So, Miracles. Really fun deck.
I've been playing for 17 years and the idea that we should shed tears for the death of engine combo decks is hilarious. And dumb.
Good riddance.
