A step in the right direction. Given my low expectation of wizards I am positively surprised.
Curious how the format post TC will look like.
How strong will the BUG delver / Esper blade...
You obviously surround yourself with the wrong people given you think so little of the legacy community.
The people I know and would want to decide are very objective, experienced, careful and do...
such an attitute is not a very inspiring foundation for democracy... you represent the pragmatic / realistic view like Angela Merkel. :wink:
...how about some "yes we can"...:tongue:
Wizards...
Does it have to be unsanctioned?
If wizards is not interested in monetizing and investing in legacy, why not hand over the format to the community to decide on bannings / unbannings.
...Democracy...
They establish criteria...
So much discussion about blue and brainstorm going on. I am mostly reading but here my 2c.
There are people who say things are fine - just innovate or "the format is meant to be completely blue". ...
I see your point of how the meta warps around TNN and had similar thoughts about it Arsenal. I don't like the argument of "play TNN, ignore it or lose", because that sounds exaggerated. At the...
It is much easier to win with Sneak if the opponents don't know what they are up against. If this G1 advantage is removed many decks can increase their G1 percentage significantly, hence playing...
Looks like. I was one of the guys thinking it would warp the format in a very negative way, but it seems that I was wrong. It did change legacy by making Canadian not the best deck (about time) and...
thank god you don't work for wizards... :)
I like this post a lot. Points out wizards "fuck-ups" very well...
Altough I do enjoy the format a lot at the moment and I a can also get behind bannings/unbannings for the sake of change. We...
You are missing the most important argument. Legacy is fun, diverse and not broken. If brainstorm would be recall that would certainly not be the case!
Not sure if it would. Maybe not. My point is that just because there is dominant color/shell does not mean the format is bad to me. The format is very fun and diverse (although we have TNN...
But the different brainstorm decks vary from each other a lot. It supports aggro, control, midrange and combo equally, which is why the format is not boring at all although a vast majority of the...
Of course it is not useless nor terrible. However it is not at it's best due to the reasons I specified.
More importantly: Kudos @ Admiral! I hope nobody is offended by comparing the holocaust to...
Shardless natural strategy is to create a ton of card advantage and clog up the board with tons of creatures to stall and overwhelm the opponent. Golgari Charm is not a good card in shardless because...
The meta was super diverse before TNN - but in all honesty - Canadian was the best deck. :tongue:
I thought (still think) TNN hurts the meta / legacy, but so far things really don't point into any...
1) I am on your side that TNN impacts the meta and I want it gone... since it was spoiled... no need to convince anyone that things are changing.
2) The reason why I think the meta has not settled...
Not sure if there is. However, just because there is no optimal source of statistical data available does not mean we should just take what is there and call it "the truth". We end up like Arsenal...
I am surprised so many people argue to ban brainstorm. There is no doubt that the card is omnipresent and above power level due to fetch-lands. However the card defines the format and most people...
Agree somehow. As I specified in another thread there is a "unique" problem to the power of SFM.
My reasoning for banning SFM (and I am not sure if I want it or if its "correct") would be...
LOL.... IBA, I remember you claiming that Zoo will benefit most when MM was spoiled and you still seem to hold on to that thought. Fact is MM was best in blue decks because their strategies are more...
MM and snapcaster would team up ... juhuu.
Basically means you start every blue deck with the same 12 cards instead of the same 8 we have now.
Can people please stop to claim that "deed is a really good card right now". Of the many flawed "just adapt to TNN" arguments this one is particularly annoying. Deed is not a card you can just put in...
