I dislike any sideboard without at least one Canonist. It has applications beyond just Storm. It's a key card vs Elves, Sneak and Show, Aluren, Food Chain among others.

I think having a glut of 3 CMC creatures is a fair criticism of those cards. I just found myself often wanting more powerful effects in the deck without having to go up to 4 or 5 CMC.

Regarding...

I think Rallier has earned a spot in my list. It has uses in just about any matchup, whereas I just seem to never want to draw QPM unless I'm facing D&T or Stoneblade (or something weird like...

Yesterday I made top 4 of the TJ Collectibles Titanium Series legacy event. It was a relatively small turnout with 57 players but had a diverse field with some good players.

My list:

2 Bayou...

Interesting take. But if I wanted a 4cc beater, I'd go with Thrun over the Chameleon Colossus.

While the colossus is an interesting idea, Thrun doesn't need Cavern to be uncounterable and is...

Like you, I've been questioning Sanctum Prelate lately. It seems so good on paper but tends to be underwhelming in reality. It's occasionally great against a few decks (ANT, Lands, occasionally...

I will occasionally run a singleton Blessed Alliance. Great vs Burn, but also decent against Delver, TNN decks, and even has applications vs Lands (kills pesky Marit Lage), Reanimator, and Sneak and...

Magus of the crucible. Wow. I like it.

That is pretty interesting indeed. Especially in a world full of Fatal Push. Personally would love to see some Sanctum Prelates in a list like this instead of the Mindcensors, but pretty sweet list.

It seems like this new version would be quite soft to Prelate on 1 or any non-creature hate (Choke, Chains of Mephistopheles, Library, any PW, any equips). The 1-2 copies of Unexpectedly Absent (and...

I've been reading a fair bit about the resurgence of the post-ban "Miracles" deck. I have not yet faced this deck (I only play paper, not MTGO) and was wondering if others here had any experience...

I'm confused by what you mean. You can easily GSZ for Teeg on T2. All you need is a T1 mana creature and both your land drops. GSZ with X=2 gets Teeg and you get your free win.

I think this is pretty accurate. Most combo gets a boost from the banning. Elves definitely benefits. Wondering if other creature-based combo (Aluren, Food Chain) will also benefit. I also think D&T...

Finished 6-2 at today's Legacy Classic and just missed out of top 16 on breakers. Faced the following:

Rd 1 - Loss vs Punishing Abzan [0-1]
Rd 2 - Win vs BUG Delver [1-1]
Rd 3 - Win vs 4c...

Just narrowly missed out on day 2 at SCG Worcester. Guess I'll be heading back for the Classic tomorrow.

Rd 1: W vs Junk w/ Lingering Souls, Liliana, and Kaya (!) [1-0]
Rd 2: L vs U/W w/...

We should bother with other matchups because not everyone plays Miracles. At the last 4 or 5 legacy tournaments that I've played with 50+ people, I've only even been matched up against Miracles in...

I agree. I want to like it, but I think this card is a trap. It doesn't help us against Terminus or provide any value when it ETBs.

All this talk about Garruk has me wondering: is he the best PW we've got against Miracles? Other decks? Trying to decide on my 75 for SCG Worcester next week.

I have gone back and forth between...

Or they just let it resolve, cast an end-step Vendilion Clique (or Entreat), then kill Garruk in the air on their turn and leave you with a four-mana 2/2 token.

I can't say that I've had the same experience. I usually consider this matchup very favorable. Their manabase is extremely greedy and Thalia + Wasteland often lead to easy wins, or just a Knight...

Most matches I naturally drew Rallier. Typically I would prefer to Zenith for a knight, but Rallier can be an amazing tempo play if you can double wasteland or something. Against removal heavy decks...

Don't know if there are replays going, though.

Yeah, I realized this after he cast that Terminus. I was pretty exhausted mentally at that point (long tourney plus the three-hour drive to get there) and tilted a bit that I couldn't just finish him...

I've gone back and forth on what to bring in vs Miracles. Currently I bring in +1 Needle, +1 Decay, +1 Gaddock Teeg, +1 Garruk, +1 Sanctum Prelate, +1 Sword of Light and Shadow, and +1 Choke. I bring...

Yesterday split the top 4 of the TJ Collectibles Titanium Series event with my Maverick list. Had a few on stream feature matches including both quarterfinals and semifinals (which was a pretty...
