For the record I support both banning dumb cards and reprinting the remainder to oblivion.
But legacy was a thing before DRS and it isn't in the format anymore? What's your point?
They could ban Delver and TNN. Force blue to splash to get good creatures. It stays the best color (because of cantrips and the monopoly on countermagic) but it doesn't eat up the whole color pie, so...
My guess is that the new meta is probably going to coalesce into Delver on the aggressive side and Uro on the control side. Narset and Teferi are also going to see a resurgence when everyone realizes...
So they axed Oko, Astrolabe and DHA. Too bad Uro stayed in (and also Delver but what was I thinking), but maybe the format is playable again
You see, what I liked in Legacy was the quirky interactions whereby two or more bad-to-middling cards suddenly became broken when taken together. Infernal Tutor + LED, Dredge cards + Ichorid and...
I can see you're quite the astute detective, detecting my bias despite my best attempts to be absolutely impartial and dispassionate.
I don't see how it transpires that I want to play only one...
Anyway here is my Objectively Superior™ banlist proposal that preserves Fun&Diversity As Garfield Intended®
Banned: True-Name Nemesis, Oko, Uro (just obvious and unfun mistakes), Delver (who the...
Fine then. Let's ban Valki so Maverick players can pretend they have a standing chance against Blue Stew + whetever broken blue cards Wizard will print this year. On the other hand, touching Oko,...
The main issue with Tibalt is that it's a broken non-blue card and that's absolutely haram to legacy players. It should join SDT and DRS in the banlist so people can enjoy their skillful plays with...
"It's not that the card is too good even by Wizards' admission, it's players who choose to play decks I don't like."
Then we have a fundamental disagreement about the nature of the game. There are serious games with minimal variance where people ascend to top level through pure skill and strength of will. These...
All of the cards you listed either only see sideboard play or only see play in one deck, sometimes both. Granted the commmander toys were not so much about how they are ubiquitous but more about how...
They should colorshift all the blue toys into non-blue colors:
-Red Snapcaster
-White Daze (return a Plains or tap a white creature, old school style)
-Green Ponder?
But really, looking at...
Just make it ETB tapped. Or have it not produce any mana, or artifact mana only. I mean we are talking about a hypothetical card that won't get printed any time soon given WotC's stupid new design...
Lol you make it sound like I only play oops or something. I said I enjoy fast combo and prison. I like Stax, I like Pox, I like Depths, and I like Tin Fins. It doesn't mean I want every game to be...
@MorphBerlin: I dunno man, it's not that hard to grasp: are you able to state your opinion without insinuating that those who don't share it are antisocial, lack patience or aren't true intellectuals...
'You're an asshole for playing fast combos or lockpieces"
"You must enjoy seeing people suffer"
"The correct strategy is to complain"
"Lol go play cointoss"
It keeps getting better, right? I...
See what I'd said about grown men who'd rather demean other people rather than play two drops?
I'm not sure what to make of the above reply since it really amounts to "you suck at Magic so I'm...
They should just unban Bazaar. It's completly broken but it's hella fun. If Brainstorm is a protected citizen because it's been reported to give people literal erections when they cast it (per Aaron...
@Ronald Deuce: Are you sure that what you said holds up in practice? There are plenty of nonblue, nonchalice decks that simply don't care that much about Chalice.
D&T: You lose STP, Vial, Mom, and...
I don't get why it is so offending to suggest that people play less one-drops if they don't want to get blown out by Chalice. It's not a bad card choice if it doesn't auto-lose to some decks. Like I...
There's no such thing as truly 'locked out' in Magic. Until they print a Leyline that makes you win the game, there's always an answer to whatever permanent hate your opponent drops. That you didn't...
"Interactive" is a buzzword and I wish people stop using it to justify whatever they think is good for the format. Besides, even if I were to adopt your strawmannest definition of the word, I don't...
