Someone accidently set off PSully on the Banning of DRS.

He's amazing, still.
Why would Wizard do anything now? Last time, everyone was sleeving up Omni with Dig Through Time during the GPT leading up to GP SeaTac. Some people had to switch deck once DTT got the axe. Is...
Argument is biased. Elves? Eldrazi Aggro (in a meta not so much BUG)? BR Reanimator?
Wizard cares very little about Vintage/Legacy. This is most likely emergency ban/unban of Standard Emrakul or some cute stuff in Standard.
That's the essence of Eternal formats, shuffling deck after fetching.
The real question is what the meta would be, in absence of Miracles?
The recent trend with the rise of DnT is interesting, but calling it a revolution is... over selling it. What if this turns out to be the flavor of the month? This could easily turn into false...
The question isn't whether Miracles' dominant or not. The question is what would Legacy become if Miracles got the axe. Would Legacy be better off without Miracles?
It's entirely possible for...

Should Sensei's Diving Top be banned in Legacy?
Joe Lossett: Really, that's the question...
Agree, yet one data point is far better than no data point still.
SCG Worcester, July 2016, looks fine to me. Why is there a need to ban?
...
Do you even play competitive Legacy? Who in the right mind would believe that un-ban Survival of the Fittest would increase format diversity? What are you on? As soon as Survival gets unbanned, the...
Is this the end of the road for Miracles?

Realistically speaking, I don't see any changes.
People used to complain about Miracles, now Eldrazi just smack that deck around, so I guess Wizards indirectly answered to Miracles haters'...
And we should appreciate the fact that WotC doesn't "care" about Legacy. If they do, disaster will happen.
Please take a break, play with your kids or pets, and we'll see you all back onto this topic after 3 months.
I pity those who planned the Seattle trip using Omni-tell. If you played at local GPT and you lost to Omni-tell yet you really want to go to that Legacy GP, considered yourself cheated.
Long story short, to increase the diversity of the format, the format as a whole does not need more card-drawing, filtering, or tutoring.
Fetchland + Brainstorm has already defined Legacy as a...
I disagree. People had fun with Cruise at GP NJ before the banning. Gotta let people have fun with Dig at both Kyoto and Lille.
Worst case scenario, Dig becomes a Legacy staple after Origin, so...
I cannot follow that logic.
For a card to become be ban-worthy, the card has to create a polarity of join the bandwagon or hate it out. TC was such card.
Now, if you're on the hate-wagon, can...
Patrick Sullivan said something similar. Lots of the present problems are created due to cantrips + fetchland interaction. If Wizard removes fetchland, lots of problems would be solved.
However,...
The "because there's no other option to win" is an incorrect assessment of Legacy as a format, or intentional exaggeration.
The Modern is brew-able claim has yet to be validated, that's your...
Concepts such as fun and beauty are very subjective. In Magic, does fun equate to winning? Can you win frequently but still not having fun?
Wizard had plenty of chances to do something about...
one-time creature tutoring spell is Not the same as repeatable creature tutoring engine/permanent. I'm addressing Survival and Pod, you are referring to spell, apple vs orange. Allow me to reiterate,...
The fact that Wizard has banned Pod is further suggesting there is NO WAY Wizard would Ever Unban Survival. All you people who have ridiculous bias for this creature engine tutoring effect stuff need...
