Not to mention MTG Arena which looks like a Hearthstone clone more or less. But it isn't suprising, considering how long MtG dominated the market, then HS popped up out of nowhere and completely shat...

This is what I'm talking about. Maybe I worded it poorly, but thing is that the first one can be countered to count for the win trigger while the second one must resolve to win the game.

This is...

It's a cast trigger, not a spell resolving, just like e.g. a hardcast Emrakul giving you a Time Walk. Thus it doesn't give a flying fuck if it gets countered or not as far as the win condition is...

Both Memory Lapse and Remand would probably work in some kind Modern shell, although 9 mana is astronomical for that format.

What I'm really interested about is how the combination of Spyglass + Field of Ruin is going to change Stompy decks.

Spyglass can take care of fetchlands/DRS to increase the mana denial potential...

Well, I guess that works, but doesn't it require you to have an Approach in your top 7 since the original isn't put back yet?

Approach of the Second Sun

It must be cast from your hand if you want to win the game.

I'm suprised nobody has talked about this yet:

GSZ-able weenie removal and blocks Delvers for days. It's a shame the power couldn't be two - that...

The more important part is that Chalice decks can run Pithing Needle effects now, too - with upside, as early as turn 1. Enjoy getting your grip with fetchlands only jammed. :laugh:

One of the...

It isn't the greatest set, but I don't think it's weak, just meh overall. It has a couple of interesting cards like Spyglass or the blue flip enchantment and is certainly way better than the shitshow...

My thoughts exactly. Too much investment for too little gain. The blue enchantment is at least cheaper and easier to trigger.

Might be good for Modern, but those 4-mana pseudo-draw effects...

Sounds like tons of fun for everybody involved. I imagine it can be summarized like this:

It would be hilarious if Standard is gimped for another rotation despite all the answers they're printing now, just because they still can't be assed to print proper hate against library manipulation.

Your math is wrong - you forgot that you also need another 3 mana without including the Impulse land to dig on the same turn. So you're looking at effectively 11 mana a turn to do both.

Not as good as Scavenging Ooze, sadly, even though less mana-intensive.

Four might be a tad bit excessive due to being legendary, even with FoW and Brainstorm. But then again, people were jokingly suggesting Soothsaying as replacement for SDT after the ban and yet here...

If you want to exhaust the opponent's basics, the best way would probably be Ghost Quarter + Field of Ruin + Crucible of Worlds/Ramunap Excavator. As already mentions, Aven Mindcensor also synergizes...

I see some potential in Eldrazi Stompy, actually. I was never a friend of Wasteland in the deck since losing mana is actually counter-productive to the gameplan. But there are some very annoying...

Maybe. It's worth noting that it's great with Aven Mindcensor to break the symmetry - which is suprisingly in the same Standard as this.

Forbidden Orchard to get there? Fetch Xenagos + Emrakul to clean things up. Still bad due to being a 3-card combo against creatureless decks.

Another Oath enabler, I guess.

Not sure what deck would...

Sarcasm aside, the sequence of "Uptick, Uptick, Ult --> DRS activation, DEAD" seems exciting, even though Vraska might be too expensive for Legacy.

Wouldn't Legacy Delver want a couple of those, too? Depending on how strong the card turns, maybe not a full playset, but T1 Delver, T2 swing with (flipped) Delver, draw two cards sounds pretty good...

That's actually pretty good in any decks that are aggressive. +1 CA for two mana or card filtering at worst.

So this enchantment can turn into a better Cradle. But given you need to overextend into 4 creatures to flip it, I doubt it's Legacy-playble.
