How does drawing two cards matter AT ALL in your example?
You can already do this with Candelabra and it's not close to playable.
They just haven't gotten around to unbanning it. It's not nearly enough to make high tide good again. Earthcraft is banned for the same reason.
I don't think Frantic Search even does enough to save High Tide.
I don't buy it. I'm sure it's good in some decks but there's no way it's the key piece to push any of those decks over the top.
Any reason why we can't have Frantic Search?
This is totally untrue. Brainstorm is easy to play, certainly easier than spells like Ponder. Even when there are "skill intensive" Brainstorms it's so powerful that you can't actually fuck it up...
When is the next announcement?
Brainstorm is easily the strongest card in Legacy, but Wizards is unwilling to ban it. People are just throwing out ideas of other cards that could get banned instead to reduce the dominance of the...
Yes. If Brainstorm hasn't gotten banned yet there is no way it will get banned in the future without Wizards radically changing the way they maintain the Legacy banned list.
What about Delver? ...
The way things have been going I don't see Frantic Search or any other safe combo-esque card getting unbanned. I don't even seeing them unbanning Eartcraft, even though it's obviously harmless.
Trained Armodon. Wooooooooooooo
How good is memory jar? I think it would be quite good, but it doesn't seem anywhere close to being ban worthy.
Would that really make those decks that much better? Keep in mind you need three lands in play to get full value out of frantic search.
Absolutely. I'd love to see it unbanned. I don't know why it gets so little mention in this thread.
Time Spiral didn't push High Tide over the top. I doubt frantic search will either.
I thought REB was there to counter TNN more than anything
I pretty much figured it was fair game once it got restricted in Vintage. It is much stronger than some of the cards currently banned.
Just wondering, what would it take to get Brainstorm banned? The card seems untouchable for whatever reason.
They announced modern as an eternal format that starts with 8th edition. When people heard that it was reasonable to expect that it would be like a lot Legacy except at a lower cost barrier since...
But combo decks lose Brainstorm too. Ever Brainstorm-> Merchant Scroll (for example)? Pretty broken!
I don't know how brainstorm has gone this long without being banned. After it got restricted in Vintage I figured it was a sitting duck. I don't know if it'll get banned now or ever, but it's the...
Nope
Wouldn't you be at eight?
I'd love to see vise unbanned because I <3 prison. I have no idea if it's safe or not, but it seems ok.
