    Sticky: Poll: Re: All B/R update speculation.

    For the record, the guy is right: 5c manabases are perfectly doable with the Legacy cardpool, but they aren't being kept down by losing Deathrite, they're being kept down by mana denial. If you told...

    I think that Chalice, Thalia, and Counterbalance are all very interactive cards. Anyone who says they just scoop to them G1 has made a choice NOT to interact and now they're getting salty about it....

    1. As asinine as the Reserve list is, Wizards will never break it because they don't care about Legacy. So the "reprints" argument isn't worth talking about, we just have to accept $2k manabases.

    Fetches are more powerful than duals, that much should be obvious. There's a reason no multicolor deck plays 0 fetch lands. Without fetches, you'd just have to play duals and shocks and Seachrome...

    I mean, just because a card is legal doesn't mean it's competitive or playable. Remember that people used to argue fervently that Land Tax was untouchable too, for various reasons. But the card was...

    A smaller banned list is in my opinion a good thing intrinsically, so any decisions which seemingly "do nothing" should default to an unban. A card being banned should mean that said card is...

    Terminus has a perceived higher impact because it's the first legacy-playable wrath in a long time, but at the end of the day it's just in one deck and therefore can never really take that much of a...

    If Legacy players had control over format decisions, "fun" would absolutely be a factor worth considering. TNN and Show and Tell/Emrakul would be the first to be hit by such a banning philosophy, I...

    I mean it's easy to see that I have sub-100 posts here and about 500 lifetime on Salvation. Whether I post my opinions online for the "told-you-so's" or not is irrelevant to the logical basis of my...

    No offense, but if you couldn't see that DRS was leagues and bounds ahead of the power level of Modern then you have bigger issues in card evaluation in general and probably aren't well suited to...

    Giving your opponent a fresh hand is dangerous too. Storm players play Diminishing Returns or Reforge the Soul and we can all agree that's not where you want to be against blue. You just fought...

    I agree with all of the above except Windfall. They just printed a Windfall with upside for one more mana and it wasn't even on anyone's radar. Not that one mana isn't a lot but the line between...

    Drain in Legacy would be cool to test out, at least. I feel like people don't evaluate it in context. What are you really Draining into? The god-hand plays would be Jace, Batterskull, etc. You can't...
