I would have been okay with a Jace unban if they decided to ban Twin. Big mana decks are going to be a big player in the format for awhile (Eldrazi, Tron)

The filter lands are what I'd be more interested in over the pain lands honestly. They're quite powerful in a lot of situations (but obviously don't work with other colorless sources!)

Pyrite Spellbomb

You know that bring to light can't actually tutor up retreat to coralhelm, right? It's a shame that that's the case...

As the organizer last year, let me say two a few things.

1) The fail rate is actually extremely low. From last year, I only had two complaints of no gifts received. One the package supposedly got...

Hey all, as you know it's getting to the time where we would need to start doing the Source Secret Santa. I organized this last year, with it being my first time doing so. For the most part it went...

Ghost Town + Stasis to finish out the combos.

Remember that modern already has Essence Scatter, so the new devoid counter with CMC restrictions is just pointless in terms of Modern.

I kind of like "Next Level Aggro Loam" or something along those lines. It's certainly not quite the traditional aggro loam, but it looks pretty derivative of the deck, just updated given new cards...

You could splash green for Collected Company. It could be very powerful if you run haste giving goblins, like Goblin Chieftain.

Worth noting Boseiju is only colorless mana--you can't even use it to cast exploration or manabond.

I'm not convinced banning SDT is actually going to decrease tournament time. Hell, I tuned into the GP at the end of day 2 and saw an Omni-tell player have an unintentional draw against a RUG delver...

Boseiju, Who shelters All
Volrath's Stronghold

A simple way to remember it is that Trinisphere is always just a last check after other cost modifiers. After everything Trinisphere just asks, "Hey would this thing cost lest than three mana? If...

I don't understand the pact of negations. Given that the deck can almost never pay for them (not going to count on manamorphose), I can imagine that they are only useful against counterspells. ...

Paying one more colorless for a 2/2 body (that can become a 3/3) is significantly better than Steelshaper's Gift (which I've actually used in Modern). I don't think the two are even comparable. I...

My concern is that you mentioned "the right hate," but even for the list you mentioned none of that hate completely stops the deck. If somebody needles griselbrand, you can through the breach wurm...

If you want a one mana guy that turns into a 4/4 with a bunch of hurdles, just play Figure of Destiny. People don't play that card? You don't say...

In more seriousness though, in Legacy you...

You don't need to discard Bory at instant speed. If you're comboing off with Griselbrand at instant speed you just use Through the Breach to get Bory into play, then use him to finish up. Getting...

Clearly because you played two sideboard games against Miracles that you have the proper boarding strategy. Please don't try to use this logic to justify your choices. If you have other reasons,...

You want boryborygmos and it's not even close. First off, he pitches to nourishing shoal which is huge. Secondly, it gives you more things to put into play with goryo's and through the breach. ...

While I think spell pierce is a fine card, I'm not actually convinced that it's stronger than a REB effect right now. Most of the non-creatures you want to hit are blue anyway. Blast has the upside...

Glad you like them. I haven't done any alters since then, although I keep thinking about it... Here's a swath of ideas for you:


Rules/interactions worth knowing that might not be well known
...

I meant Wizards the company, not the tribe :P But perhaps you're just being clever...

This probably wouldn't have much practical application, but I'd love to see an article about the types of effects Wizards would need to print for a higher CMC card to be viable in legacy in "normal...
