Have been on an extended break from the format. Can someone update me on how it's been evolving in the last few months? Have people realized that dig is awful for the format and needs to go yet? I'm...

I'm in full alignment with Barook on this.

The combination of "Dig + Cantrips + Countermagic + Wincon of Choice" is simply THE BEST thing you can do in legacy, and nothing feels close. ...

Decks DO run all of those cards though. as you've been told several times now. The flex spot being the preordain which get swapped for some other low cost blue spell that facilitates the decks win...

I agree with you that this is an ugly trend, and I don't think this is a flavor of the week. I think if nothing is done, this will be the look of Legacy for a long time to come. Dig is just a card...

I'm not convinced it has to go necessarily either way. ..I don't have much trouble beating miracles on modo...but then again it's so prevalent and oppressive online that my whole sideboard is...

It's a good point Julian. It's really good in current Meta but perhaps not future ones if something causes mid range...combo...control not to be dominant forces.

Ok so consensus is dig is busted. I would not be sad to see it gone before it becomes the format defining card and a staple which certain spikes are too attached to.

I have another card that...

I am glad many of the knowledgeable people of this forum agree with me that dig is totally borked. I think Wizards at the time thought dig safer for legacy cause cruise decks kept dig decks in...

The feel bad card of the moment for me seems to be dig through time. Does anyone feel like this card is to good? Am I crazy? It honestly feels as back breaking/game ending as cruise when it resolves...

I came here this afternoon to express my relief that the blight of treasure cruise has been lifted from the format.

Although this was the stance I was advocating for, I never thought wizards...

Treasure Cruise seems really great in not just aggro decks but the more midrange/control creature decks with deathrite, stoneforge, TNN, jace, etc. There is a bit less synergy but not much.

The...

I don't know, I did not play in 2006 nor am I a scholar of magic history.

All I can say with certainty is that it's not as open as when I started.

That noted, I don't understand where you're...

LeoCop, great post about goblins, and I think it helps me comprehend as to why I'm so dissatisfied with where legacy is at right now.

The current meta that has been created by recent pushed...

he's a storm player...storm benefits from a tc meta and likes really good cantrips. It's understandable that he would be perfectly happy with the status quo lol. That's not a jab at lemnear...we all...

Discard is bad right now. I don't care if it's hymn or seize or whatever...as long as cruise decks continue to be top decks (which they always will unless something is done) discard will be an...

I find it absolutely comical every time some person totes brainstorm as the pinnacle of all things skill in legacy. This is a self-agrandizing mentality held by those who love and play the card in...

Haha. Trust me, the availability of Chains of mephistopheles is NOT what is holding back the viability of attrition style decks. Chains is a sweet old card but it's just not good in practice. I was...

As someone who owns and plays lands myself, I can tell you the viability of that archetype has not changed much. It's just as good now as it was pre-treasuire cruise. the strongest forms of GY hate...

my two cents: I personally don't like what treasure cruise has done to the format. It's existence has pushed several long standing, interesting, and healthy deck archetypes over the cliff and into...
