No, pretty sure the point of this thread at this point is to provide a Dumpster for certain posters to live in so they don't clutter up virtually every other constructive discussion on this site with...

QFT. Unless you are counting to 10 Storm, Brainstorm should be more of a mechanical process than a thinking one.

I am starting to catch up on Modern (thanks GP Trios for generating interest in me playing Legacy for teams... :p) and I was ecstatic to see that PSully was doing commentary again. Between the Bingo...

Yeah, cause if LED was banned, then Will would be fine! Pay no attention to the DRits, CabalRits, Petals, the ability to replay a Fetch, and any number of Cantrips that you used to get to that Will...

Wat? Come on man, I've read some of your other posts, you're smarter than that. Will is straight-up-bonkers-busto in any format where D Rit is legal. Willing for Value, play a fetch, bstrom, do...

Probably the same thing people who over-payed for Bitterblossom's are doing with them. Occasionally playing them in the board of some decks, and in the main of fringe-y B/W Tokens strats. But this is...

Breaks the 2 week old silence on an account with a dozen posts to talk about a banning that would have happened 2 years ago if it was going to, and a banning that is 'justified' with a tiny fraction...

I would be careful using a very inbred (by design) event to extrapolate data. A quarter of the field was on Grixis Delver, and 3 people were on Death and Taxes (and could just have easily been on...

Yup, a few months later. My apologies in using the word Set when I should have said Block. In the context of a format that spans DECADES. (BTW, that's kind of the amusing thing about Treasure Cruise....

Because it's the legions of Legacy players cuddling with their Brainstorms at night that drove the cost of Duals up, not a significantly increased demand due to a crazy-popular Casual format.

The...

I think this is the argument people secretly believe, but refuse to admit. They've played a game that, since it's inception, due to inexperience with game design, has distributed the power level of...

No, the 'tragedy' is that you feel that the health and 'fun' of an eternal format is arbitrarily increased by increasing the percentage of playables. I'm sorry that your favorite shitty card du-jour...

I mean, the only way the could possibly justify unbanning (and one of the big reasons I am a fan of it) is if there was a reprint coming down the pipe. Judge Promo, FTV: Tutors, something...

Serious question (that I expect to be ridiculed for...)

Do you enjoy playing or watching Vintage?

The nature of 'Eternal' formats is that they will typically, over time, become more and more...

They did this - it's called Modern. Actually a really fun format - you should go try it, and stop endless complaining about a healthy, growing, diverse format.

This argument (and others in the same vein) are tedious and miss the point.

The primary complaint of cantrips should not be that they serve to decrease variance, it should be that the opportunity...

From Tom Lapille's actual article regarding homogeneity in Vintage being the reason for restricting Brainstorm (emphasis mine) -



I don't really feel that we have the same issues in Legacy...

Legacy is great, because any time you put something on the shelf for a while, odds are that you can pull it back down next year and either it's better because the environment has shifted or because...

Since we're just a few days out, I am going to make some BOLD predictions:

1. Nothing will be Banned.
2. Nothing will be Unbanned.
3. 90% of the people on this thread will continue to rage and...

Have you ever SEEN the average hand-written MTG decklist? I know Doctors with better handwriting than most players...

I hate this argument, not only because it incorrectly assumes there is some prototypical "shell" Blue decks are built around. If your definition of "shell" is Fetches and Brainstorms, you are playing...

1. Quote is taken explicitly out of context - sentence fragment indicates that the original quote was about the TCO of the deck and not just the Manabase. (-1)
2. Claiming Dredge is Empirically...

But seriously, 4 Volcanics, 4 Tarns, and the ENTIRE deck is $1850 - with a full set of Forces.

I am curious what $2000 mana base you are using for your argument. Sure, when you staple a bunch of...

All the people who emphatically feel that Legacy is un-fun with Brainstorm legal.

I think they should post the announcement here - all 7 of the people in the world who feel that strongly could...

Honestly, this is the biggest issue with statistical analysis based on results - we don't get to tie an 'Expected to perform' value to a result. If you have a 100 person tournament, and 50 people...
