I can't take the non stop surgical extraction parade that is going on on modo anymore. I've literally been surgicaled around 3/4 of post board games according to my records over the past three weeks....
So, Invasive Surgery....
Patrick - I know enough TES players to know he was intentionally dissing you with Grapeshot. Soooo, Shaman79, he's a douche. Anyone who gets the chance, wasting him and P-Fire killing him seems...
It doesn't take much to turn 93/94 into 95 by introducing Ice Age and Homelands. Then 96, and so on. The format probably loses some of its nostalgia (and certainly it's innocence) with Urza's Block...
I really don't see Old School going anywhere. The draw of the format is the casual, beer-friendly nature of it all. No tournament scene needed. Speaking from personal experience, it replaced what...
Patrick - When you're getting ready to film do you join a 2 Man and sit there waiting for an opponent? If so, you might consider waiting and joining once someone else enters the room first. With 105...
So apparently SoI cards are being spoiled and one of them was an Envelop that acts as a Surgical Extraction to the sorcery it counters...for one mana still. I can't imagine that won't be in every...
Why not just play Magic 95 if you're concerned about the elitist attitude of the Swedes? 95 adds Ice Age (with the pain lands easing the burden off duals) and Chronicles (Erhnam and City of Brass)...
Haha, I know how to play around sweepers, thanks. I didn't say it invalidates my deck (reading comprehension is a good thing), I said it invalidates some decks I consider to be cool parts of the meta...
I'm not a fan of banning cards, I'd rather see stuff unbanned...but Terminus...c'mon WOTC. CounterTop is fine. Terminus, however, invalidates decks almost single-handedly.
Every time Pete and Ben show up and claim they still support legacy I'm reminded of the Iraqi propaganda minister who kept coming on the air during the early stages of the Iraq War to ensure the...
For those interested in salvaging the deck in this same basic form, I think it's possible. It certainly won't be as good, but why would the following not work to replace the four Digs:
-up to 4...
SCG has a Legacy Open this weekend...and all their content is Standard / Modern / Commander so far this week. Sad.
It certainly seems like Legacy is "down" ever since SCG shifted away from Sunday Opens. I know they still have premier IQs or whatever, but they're not streamed, and they hardly cover any Legacy...
Recruiter is the glue that holds the deck together. Play it for awhile and I'm 100% sure you'll agree. I'm literally never sorry to draw a Recruiter.
How many painter decks do you see in any given tourney? How many new players jump straight to painter?
How many burn decks do you see in any given tourney? How many new players jump straight to...
Misread Evolving Wilds, nvmd. For some reason I thought there was a fetch-only-basic card that didn't enter tapped and didn't cost life. I saw EW on the spoiler list and figured it was a reprint....
I've had a lot of success with Pyroclasm out of the board for those types of decks. I'm not a fan of Firebolt, though I acknowledge Jack's had much success with the card.
I'm back on Painter and...
I'm trying out a single Rabblemaster as a recruitable fallback option. I run mono red.
Returned to Painter for the daily last night in MTGO and was rewarded with Burn matchups in Rounds 1 and 2. Even stalled the game out and had hands that were about as good as it gets, and still went...
Shops might be up Finn's alley since the prison versions play somewhat similar to Death and Taxes. You don't necessarily need a Lotus in Shops. Five Moxen and 4 Workshops works fine. Pretty sure that...
Edited: NVMND, misread the card
Undomian -- I've been toying with a similar list ever since Dack Fayden was spoiled. I wanted to jam Painter/Grindstone into it, but I don't think it works all that well. Your list is interesting. ...
Unsung and Anarky....whereabouts in IL are you from? If central IL, there are several Legacy events worth traveling for every month. Would be nice to have more Painters around.
