I play hermit druid in EDH, and I can tell you that it is pretty broken. The deck is able to fight off three other decks and come out the victor within the first few turns on a consistent basis....
to be fair tho, black doesnt get a 5/5 for 1 mana. Its only 1 mana on like turn 3-5? Thats far less threatening. Whether it cost 1 or 4 tapping out to cast it on turn 3-5 doesnt make much of a...
sure these cards see fringe play but they are really weak when compared to other creatures in the format. My thinking i that the best creatures should come from green. I still rather have a TNN than...
I certainly agree with you. I guess I just wish that was not the way it is. It feels wrong. Maybe we need more super beefy beat down creatures in green that are just extremely limited in their...
My only issue with D&T is that its a creature based deck and their creatures are so much more useful than anything green really has to offer. Green is the color that should be creature based,...
i know for me Ive played for 20+ years but in the last few I havent gone to events weeklies or bigger ones because of location / adulting. Additionally I havent sold any of my collection so the...
Maybe more importantly, if you have kids, you’ll want to have someone to play with and you’ll teach them.
The example of increased diversity in land selection is only 1 of many things that would happen. The reason I mentioned it is because it is the easiest change to see since there is a direct...

We do know, with absolute certainty, that if fetchlands get banned card diversity increases. How we know this is because something must replace these cards and there is no obvious second...
Your comment above clearly indicates your lack of understanding as to why fetch lands hinder diversity. It doesnt have to do with a decks ability to play different strategies. It has to do with a...
1. Yes it generally is. It is one of Wizards criteria for justifying a card ban. Consider mental misstep. You can also look at Vintage. The power level of old cards vs new cards means that fewer...
That would be a considerable difference. That is a 100% increase.
See your mana base below. Although I think you should probably run more than just 20 lands, the deck plays pretty well. I opted for a forest and swamp as basics for abrupt decay under blood moon...
It is not being done because all 5 colors rarely contribute to a shared goal. Each color added has diminishing returns. For example, What are you going to add to your deck in the 5the color that you...
Thats not the point. The point is that it could be done effortlessly. That also means that it became significantly easier to make 3 color decks. Even if there arn't many 5 color decks, there are...
Agreed. More colors should come at a considerable price and fetch lands make that price too cheap.
You forgot one of the most important considerations. Legacy games are significantly faster...
the obvious result that would occur is that people wouldnt play 3 color decks because you would sacrifice too much consistency. Even with shock lands its still not a great option.
removing the 1 off land to splash a color is HUGE. That means that you are playing 1 less color and dont get the benefits. Blue is usually that splash and brainstorm is a huge offender of easily...
This was a fantastic time. Many of the current legacy players probably don't remember this time though. The lack of fetch lands limited a players ability to go crazy with colors and it helped keep...
Sure you could start playing preordain but the power loss from brainstorm would really impact decks more than you think.
Some would call force of will a pillar, and in my opinion it is. However,...
I don't hate brainstorm. I just wish it didn't dwarf the diversity of the format. If you remove it from the format blue is forced to do other things than just splash into every deck because it makes...

"It's one of the "pillars of the format" that makes it unique and players tolerate/love. It's like Brainstorm in Legacy. Every saturation metric we could ever invent would point to it being banned,...
Play combo decks and then dont give a fuck about drs. Sure hes good but so are alot of legacy cards. If you are losing to him play better cards. Legacy is a format that is not short of really good...
