My very first post on the Source. 6 years later, Delver of Secrets looks over a pile of ruined corpses... and laughs.

^ I'm not so sure that "Omnitell will vanish"

No because Brainstorm is the actual problem and maybe they should just deal with it instead of dancing around it because of its "legendary reputation" or whatever the fuck excuse people use for...

Perfect example of what a shit mono-color format Legacy has become. One shell to rule them all.

They absolutely do define the texture of the game/match, which is why playing against a non-blue deck is a completely different experience than playing against Brainstorm/Force/Ponder.dec

I mean...

You should try opening 1. h4 in chess. I hear it's severely underrepresented in pro games due to the hive mind around e4 and d4.

Going with under, -3. Probably one Elves and one random non-blue gimmick deck in the top 8.

:laugh:

Here's a hint: 1-2 top 8s does not equal several hundred top 8s. Anyone who seriously pretends to contest the idea of Dredge's inferiority to a brainstorm shell (outside of a specific...

Ironically, Vintage actually has a more diverse meta because there Shop and Bazaar exist. Making two strong pillars of non-blue strategies which can support aggro, combo and control.

Meanwhile in...

If they don't ban TC I'm out. So net +0 players either way!

Expect Legacy: No Changes.

Yeah, "blue tempo decks are really fucking good" is not exactly a new thing in this format.

Beyond that, "decks that play brainstorm are overwhelmingly favored to win stuff" is also not exactly...

Sticky this imo :laugh:

Would you even know if your opponents were playing counterfeits?

Definitely discourages me from shelling out for any more old cards.

There's a single non-Brainstorm deck left in the DTB and it's Elves. Come on guys we can do 100% Brainstorm decks if we try hard enough. :smile:

When unbanning cards, I don't know why we should start with "cards that help Storm decks only". Leaving aside the issue that the banned draw7s are just broken.

Can we just unban Earthcraft and...

I've been saying this for quite a while now... but at this point, due to years of self-selection amongst the player base, this is what Legacy players like. Except for the masochists.

Stoneforge was fine too before TNN. In this format it certainly wasn't oppressive.

TNN is such a dumb, non-interactive and pointless card I hope it gets banned on principle alone. "Yes, what this...

So, business as usual, then.

This is coming from the guy who thinks Oath "should probably be unbanned". :eyebrow: You're not very good at this game, so try to avoid statements like this. BV is certainly a safer unban than Oath,...

Are we supposed to pretend that not doing as well is the same as doing equally well? The numbers you are quoting are still pitiful in the broader analysis, particularly when you analyze which legacy...

It doesn't even matter whether they're budget or not per se. If you built Maverick in 2011, there's a good chance you're still playing Maverick today at your LGS. You already have it built. You...

You'll have to excuse me if I don't agree that a pile of 20-person tournaments forms good data. Those are more reflective of that particular tiny group of people and whatever pet decks they bring to...

No, I mentioned pet decks... :really:

Playtesting for SCG Somerset- a friend wants to go- and just confirming that the format is ludicrously stagnant. XYZ Jace deck vs. ye-olde-Thresh vs. some blue combo deck. Add in 10% random pet decks...
