The issue is being looked into, in the meantime, for everyone, please don't click on weird links no matter who seems to have posted them.

I don't think it is that exactly, but Instant speed makes it more versatile for combo because of how it can be used with Lions Eye Diamond, for example. Also, Mystical can find Ad Nauseum where...

I think it makes sense though, I have my doubts that Mystical Tutor is realistically alright when Doomsday will take to playing Personal Tutor since Mystical is not available.

There is one really silly thing about Mind's Desire that doesn't come into play in Vintage (the only place I've played Desire before) but MD into flipping another MD is pretty bonkers. Can't do that...

The important part:...

I mean, in many ways I agree with you that Brainstorms dominance is a bit boring, but at the same time I disagree that were is really a "better" way to ground Legacy. No matter what, there has to be...

Well, of course, but at this point, that is like cards being Restricted in Vintage because Mishra's Workshop taps for :3:. Fair? Not really. But that is just what Vintage is. If we like it or...

At least they still care about Challenge attendance.

Fixed that for you (I think).

Recent Challenge attendances (excluding Showcases, which are always much more highly attended):

March 6th B&R





Well, that was somewhat unexpected (I mean, not really, just not at the moment).

Ban Update.

Ragavan out.

Deep burn. But yeah, lets get back on track here folks.

Alright, the topic is B&R, so make arguments pursuant to that, not about what cred and/or clout you might have.

Thanks.

Especially since card availability was a total non-factor for these. Still, I think that goes to show that, even if UR Delver is "the best deck" (at least in theory) some people will just play...

Charts are from the Legacy Data Collection Project, you can find the decklists at the URL under each image.

Indeed, although if the actually win/loss was in the cell, rather than just a percentage, you could see the the notional power somewhat immediately. So, instead of 75% being in a cell, put 3-1, so...

I was thinking last night that the chart I posted might be a little more interesting if each cell had the actual match-up wins and losses, so one could easily see the notional power at a glance.
...

Can't say, wasn't me who made it. That is something like 24 events, I think. But I don't know how much data each field might have in it.

Wow, this is some interesting data to look at:

This is all the matchup data since 8/8 (excluding, by the author, Koke_MTG, the September 26th Invitational) for...

Discussion of the "end of Pro Play" was split into it's own topic: here.

Hmm, doing some quick math here, how many degrees of difference is there between 0 and 1?

Infinity? I think the answer is infinity.

So, I can't see how that comparison really works. Then...

I don't know, I think the "old" sort of conventional wisdom was that this would be the case, but really, bans are worse for players since you lose the ROIC on the cards you (might have) bought. Of...

Fair points, in fact, we don't know if the meta can adjust for Valki, since it's only been one weekend.

As for Uro/Oko, it is hard to argue, since both are stupidly powerful cards. I am fine if...

Hidden in this article.

So, maybe Uro for us as well? Or, Valki too? Or, might they just change the rules to address that?

On it!

Nice, I grabbed three on Friday, on Arena. So now I get my 3 wildcards back, plus the one I already had from a pack. I really only play Historic on there anyway.
