All,
My desire to have all fetch lands banned remains. That is all.

I have been around for all of the blocks. Without question or hesitation, Odyssey was my favorite.
Okay, here is my opinion.
There is a big difference between a slow decrease in popularity and the format dying. The format can be perpetually reducing in popularity, and still have a baseline...
I live in Indiana now, I should change my profile. There is a good store in Des Moines, Mayhem. I would check with them, as I haven't been to the store in a while. When you get there, feel free...
People have been saying this since the beginning of this thread, back in 2010. At what point is this prediction considered wrong, apparently 8 years aren't enough? Cards don't expire like bread. ...

He said people can't play sanctioned tournament Legacy. I play in a weekly legacy tournament that allows all proxies. We have the same fun as people playing in sanctioned events. I bring a...
All,
I'm one of the few that is glad the reserved list exists. I agree with the points made in the video, I suggest others watch it. I believe the reserved list has a place, and the long term...
Price is not a trivially simple value. Most ways people estimate price are limited, in one way or another.
It is apparent what is happening. A person decides to purchase all of the reasonably...
Hi,
So, this was something I created in excel about 10 years ago. It was a different set of decks back then, but it is a relatively strait forward process. The inputs you need are the proportion...
I am surprised that lands is 6% of the field. Usually the scarcity of Tabernacle makes that sort of thing impossible.
Am I weird for not doing the double sleeve thing? It just seems like a bit much to me, right up there with the 2 inch thick screw down baseball card holders from the 1980s. Does anyone here shuffle...
This sort of thing happens a lot. It is actually a function of the way that a tournament will progress, not an Abby Normal event.
Given:
a large enough tournament
even skill...
I love Legacy, but Pauper is a fantastic format as well. I totally agree with your post.
Balance is one of the few cards that can rival the power 9 in terms of raw strength. This would be a patently bad idea. If you think the card is for creatures, I think you missed why the card is...
I find this a puzzling response. Show and Tell was printed in 1998, but "Legacy" became a thing 2004. Are you saying that you stopped playing 1.5 from 1998 to 2000?
I hear what you are saying, but don't dismiss the fun that is lost wasting a big portion of the allotted time each round shuffling or watching your opponent shuffle. I feel like I am telling people...
Fetchlands, and it isn't close.
There are many reasons why I chose fetchlands. There was Magic before fetchlands, but most of the people that hang around today don't recall those times. I wont...
Put me in the "Nope" opinion.
Creatures, which are so darn vulnerable, are very rarely the subject of bans in Legacy. DRS is great, but I think it is way down the list of cards that could get...
All,
I played Dreadstill back when that was a thing in the first Chicago Legacy GP, which at the time was a gigantic tournament. I believe that was near the end for Mystical tutor in Legacy. Top...
Official prediction here.
Reserved list abolished. Operation money grab begins. I'll go back to this thread and admit my wrongness once full spoiler is available. I hope I'm wrong.
-Peace
My guess is:
Elves
Dragons (seems like a shoe in, given that the format used to be called EDH)
Slivers
Knights
I would love merfolk and/or goblins, but I just don't think they will do it.
They have been very transparent that they will do this. You are correct that your camp is winning. Good points from you.
I am so glad that what SCG says publicly is what they actually want privately. I'm sure they are not trying to establish good public relations with those statements.
The player base for MTG is...
So, I think fetchlands getting banned in Legacy has quite a few upsides.
1. Modern and Legacy would have better identities if fetches were banned in Legacy. You can play fetches in Modern, you...
