    Draw card if Life Total > [highest CMC card remaining in deck] + 3 (if red mana available to opponent).

    Doesn't sound so significant to me.

    I agree Legacy doesn't make them money which only undercuts some of the comments we've seen in this thread about this being some kind of cash grab.

    That's kind of my overall gripe with the game in general.

    In the early years, they kind of just made random cards without any overall theme and left the players to build decks using whatever...

    When you make arguments to "score points" rather than have a genuine debate, it is rather pointless isn't it? No one is talking about Mirage fetches other than to say they are the historical...

    Hit the nail on the head. This is all that needs to be said on the subject. Don't like fetches? They already banned them in Pioneer. Have at it.

    That's a fair point but ultimately the point is that those cards are getting printed to a much larger degree as of late.

    This is the best take in the thread on this topic. I'll just add that if Tombstalker was blue it would have been relevant until Murktide was printed.

    I wonder how much of this is due to them deciding that its not fun when both players run out of resources so lets make an obscene number of cards that instantly replace themselves.

    Then we're mostly in agreement. My original point was that the newly printed creatures are not what caused non-blue aggro to fall out. It's only gotten more ridiculous/apparent now because Delver...

    Sure. But those didn't become unplayable because of any of the new creatures being printed. They became unplayable because the whole format is way more powerful and plain aggro just doesn't work...

    In world where Murktide, DRC, Delver, and TNN don't exist, Nacatl doesn't suddenly become playable. You explained why those cards are playable: they are backed up by pitch counters and cantrips.
