I mean, Aaron Forsythe has said that by any metric Brainstorm should be banned. Obviously, Brainstorm will never be banned banned. As far as I’m concerned, until we get to a point where Brainstorm...
Yes, there are slow play rules. And yet Top, Frantic Search, and Goblin Recruiter are all banned. Wizards isn't unbanning Recruiter as it's more egregious than the other two. Now, if we could...
Couple things. Whoever thinks Tinker should be unbanned had better have a brain tumor or be completely new to older Magic formats. It's a one card combo. It can adapt to any changes in the metagame...
Delver is obviously more ubiquitous than either Snapcaster or TNN, but MorphBerlin is correct.
Swords-Snap-Swords, Bolt-Snap-Bolt, and even Ponder-Snap-Ponder allows blue decks to use their...
Chains, maybe. And that's a good thing. It'd be nice to have a bit more diversity among anti-cantrip cards besides just Chalice of the Void and Thalia.
The only deck that plays The Abyss is...
There are definitely cards I think that can and should be banned in Legacy and the format would improve as a whole. However, it isn't unfair to want there to be more viable non-blue fair decks with...
Dice_Box: Guys, blue is still dominant even after all these bans. Maybe, this is an issue we should address.
Legacy Players: Lol, go play Modern idiot.
Dice_Box: Okay.
Meanwhile, GP Richmond...
Agreed, Deathrite deserved to be banned, but the collateral damage Legacy faces as a result of his banning is real. Blue decks never deserved Deathrite Shaman, but now, Jund, Junk, and even BUG...
Again, Earthcraft is a Reserved List card. It would spike super hard. Just because the card isn't good doesn't mean it won't hit that price for a short time at least.
I got into a debate here several months ago about why Survival would still be horrifically broken in Legacy. Deathrite being in the format would just mean Survival decks would play Deathrite. People...
Isn't a common stereotype of Legacy that you get combo killed on turn 1/2 and/or die to Force of Will? You mentioned Griselbrand, Tendrils, and Show & Tell all of which do this. No mention of how...
Ya know, I've seen Legacy players use the insult of, "Go play Modern," whenever it's suggested something might actually be too powerful for Legacy or should be banned. Do people not realize that if...
Pretty sure the difference between Survival of the Fittest and all the other garbage cards you named is that Survival HAS seen play in Legacy before. So much so that it actually got banned. We also...
I can't tell if you're being facetious, so I'll respond as though you aren't.
Force was around when Survival was legal and it was still banned. Force also seems pretty medium against Survival....
In part because fair decks aren't really getting pushed out of the metagame by unfair decks. Decks like Jund and Burn aren't good because blue threats like True-Name Nemesis, Leovold, and Delver are...
Yeah man, my entire argument is that Legacy would turn into Survival decks and unfair decks. All you did was name unfair decks. You mentioned Terminus, but I'm pretty sure creatures getting put on...
Are people really saying Survival of the Fittest is safe for Legacy? Why, because Deathrite Shaman is legal? All this means is Survival decks will play Deathrite Shaman. Now, you play Survival and...
Deathrite doesn't really hurt graveyard combo decks, but it pretty much killed "fair" graveyard decks and cards. You almost never see cards like Lingering Souls, Bloodghast, Gravecrawler, or Academy...
Megadeus: TNN blows. It's dull, uninteractive, and requires no skill to play.
Legacy Players: Play Griselbrand to beat it.
Megadeus: Griselbrand is dull, uninteractive, and requires no skill to...
This is true. It isn't that good of a card. It'd play as a one or two of in Goblins. It won't break the format. Wizards is stubborn though. I'm not saying Goblin Recruiter shouldn't be unbanned, I'm...
The only cards I think that can be unbanned are Earthcraft, Mind Twist, and maybe Frantic Search. Earthcraft makes Enchantress better and maybe some brew becomes viable. I don't think Elves needs the...
Yeah, people are going to keep giving their opinions on what should be in a new poll, so I'll also give it. Pretty much the same as everyone else's though. Before banning anything, I'd unban...
I'm mostly repeating what my Goblin obsessed friend has said. He thinks that while Deathite being a 1/2 is an issue, it's more beatable than True-Name + Jitte or Show and Tell +...
While Deathrite hurt Goblins, it was not what really put it in the dumpster. Griselbrand and True Name are what really killed the deck. The lack of a reasonable Reclamation Sage-esque creature for...
