Show and Tell costs 3 mana. The point is to pay 3 mana to cheat a significantly more expensive card into play. Grim Monolith doesn't help accelerate into Show and Tell. Ancient Tomb + Lotus Petal is...

In Show and Tell, that's literally 4 Lotus Petal. So you're expecting to sandbag Petals and a cantrip or two until you have enough mana to cast a couple of Petals, couple of cantrips, and then...

Yeah, you're right. Even worse for a Show and Tell deck, then.

The key wording here is Storm. How are you creating a Storm chain in Show and Tell prior to then resolving a spell that costs 4UU? Sure, if you Brainstorm an Emrakul on top EOT and then untap and...

In High Tide? You're definitely going to have a high fizzle rate if you're only popping off with 3-4 Storm, which was what Lord Seth was referring to.

That's fair, I wasn't thinking about the instant speed for some reason. You'd still need a draw effect to use LED to cast the Doomsday, but that certainly would increase the consistency of turn 1...

Blue isn't on color for current Storm decks. Black, and to a lesser extent red, are. Sure, LED can get cracked for UUU and you have Petal and Opal, but the rituals don't make blue, so getting 4UU is...

Understandable, but is the difference between Mystical Tutor and Personal Tutor really that dramatic that it's going to make Doomsday that much better than it already is? Yeah you get to tutor for...

Some sort of High Tide deck seems the most likely place due the UU cost?

Orcish Bowmasters and Hullbreacher/Narset aside, Mind's Desire seems worse than Peer into the Abyss for Storm, and they...

That's because people were running Ravenous Baloth in their GR Survival and Arrogant Wurm in their UG Madness decks before that.

I was just pointing out that the complaint arguments are cylical. Just have a gander through the 1145 pages of this thread if you don't want to believe what I'm saying.

There are just as many...

Maybe that's the case for you and for some others right now, but I've heard people say the same thing throughout the many years I've been around.

People are always unhappy and want something...

That's been the case since the beginning of Legacy. It's a ubiquitous card that fits easily into nearly any deck. It fits in aggro, control, and combo, as well as various hybrids of those. It's not...

Cards like Ancient Stirrings and Once Upon a Time seem like a great step in that direction, in addition to Allosaurus as already mentioned. Of course there is already GSZ, but there's other cards...

Recruiter would be fun, especially now with Squee, the Immortal. Not format warping, and would be fun to brew with.

Honestly, it would be like Christmas if they unbanned all of those things. It's...

But then they printed Griselbrand...

Goblin Welder, Daretti, Scrap Savant, Entomb, and Faithless Looting seems like a pretty sweet brew for Memory Jar.

Mind Twist in Elves might be deece. I could also see it being pretty cool in a...

Let's say Grixis Control goes on to become the defacto best deck in the format, and remains that way for a while, with Miracles trailing closely behind. Given the trend WotC has set, let's pretend...

I'm pretty sure this had more to do with the increase in popularity and format support by WotC and outfits like SCG than anything related to power level. More event coverage started happening, more...

Brewing doesn't suck in Legacy. I brew all the time and do well with my brews. Other people brew and do well with theirs too. There have been several new and interesting brews that have done well...

I wasn't referencing WotC's motivation or reasoning, I was responding to a Death and Taxes player that disliked Probe because they felt that it enabled broken strategies. The interaction with Young...

Probe enabled a lot of fun and interesting mechanics. For example, the new Archlight Pheonix card. You look at it from the lens of it enabling broken stuff. I look at it as a card that enabled some...

I'd rather have all of those cards back, and unban Survival of the Fittest, Mind Twist, Earthcraft, Frantic Search, Mystical Tutor, Goblin Recruiter, and Hermit Druid.

Hermit Druid might be a bit...

Or we let the format have really powerful cards, and enjoy getting to play powerful decks. You could argue that Vintage is the format for that, but Vintage is considerably more busted, the cost of...

To be fair, I don't think Miracles necessarily needed both Terminus and Counterbalance to be banned, I was simply stating that those were the busted cards. I think banning Terminus would have been...
