Never been to a legacy GP, but... Are there *any* rounds that don't have at least one game go to time already? If "yes" than whats the big deal about a few more? If "no" then, I don't believe you.

If we're going to do that, then we should all limit ourselves to a randomized starter deck and 5 to 10 boosters. rarity was intended as a balancing factor, because players were not intended to buy...

I played it in extended. Time shuffling wasn't an issue -- because if you play it for any reasonable amount the game is over already and your opponent concedes unless it's their second loss. in...

Shuffling once, then revealing all the cards is a legal shortcut -- assuming nothing has intervened in between resolutions that would change the state of your deck.

There's good reasons Mind's...

I play burn. Chalice is pretty miserable there too.

I'd be all about shroud instead. But, WotC in their "infinite" wisdom, has decreed that mechanics with both upsides and downsides are "not fun", and therefore are not allowed.

I'm a big fan of...

To be fair, the creature I made is also GG and RR (it's hybrid!). But, I think that's more my point -- White is able to come to the table without the cantrip package precisely because it has all the...

Why WG specifically? White Green already has a huge hate warehouse to pull from - spread the hate to other colors.

To be honest, I'd prefer that they raise the other colors up to parity, rather than ban blue down to parity. But, there is no way that will ever happen because how could you do it without jsut...

Honestly, there's lots of "cute" attempts to make a force of will cycle that gives each other color the ability to counter things it's good at fighitng against. But, you know what/ F that.

I agree, but historically that dominance was on the back of it's spells, and it's creatures were generally pretty meh.

Now, that dominance is on the back of it's new creatures and it's old...

Snapcaster should have been red, and is exemplary as to why player designed cards are a bad idea.

The biggest reason we have cantrip shell dominance is because they powered up *all* creatures,...

We've come a long way when we can say that Wild Nacatl is "bad shit we wish was playable".

To be fair, Forsythe closed the issue on whether they would, not on whether they should.

That could be an interesting new take on Fetchlands, and would force players to not rely on a single land splash with 10+ fetchlands.

Maybe something along the lines of:

NeoFetch
Tap,...

They wouldn't. And we all know that, but we're talking about hypothetical situations. Banning fetches is just as likely as banning brainstorm, and banning OG duals is a teensy bit more likely, but...

From a pure cost situation... the counterpart to steam vents (tropical island) is listed at $400 (out of stock) on Starcity. So, $100 is better. That said I doubt steam vents (or any other shock)...

I'd give up *every* dual land for the opportunity to see how the format would shake out with no duals, but all the other cards.

No, I think the fetchlands cause enough problems that they warrant banning just like Brainstorm. Banning fetchlands would *dramatically* increase the price of duals since you would need about three...

Seconded. But, it's not going to happen because Fetch+Dual is just as much a "pillar" of legacy as Brainstorm is. So, even if it meets all possible metrics for banning (which Aaron Forsythe has...

Not really, they even adressed that in the paragraph that begins with "While a card seeing lots of competitive play doesn't by itself necessitate action, ...".


It's one of the "pillars of the...

Aaron Forsythe has flat out said brainstorm is broken and should be banned according to every metric they can come up with, but also that they will not ban it because it's a "pillar" of legacy.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not too happy about probe going away, because it's yet more locking abilities into blue. But... I guess I see why.

It is funny, however, that you could easily replace...

Huh. neat.

Imagine if Ponder said "you may reveal an instant or sorcery among them and put it into your hand" instead of "draw 1". It would *still* be way better than either of those. In order for the...
