The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
No, it's not some roleplaying; it's only you who tries to evade what now looks like a really strong argument by not quoting it and acting like it didn't exist.
I know it's more difficult to argue against what I said, but you can at least try. I mean, why not?
And yeah, I stand by it; you're toxic to the discussion by not addressing what I said. I mean, we're not 14 years old anymore where the most important thing is too make a "witty" comment so that we can evade facing what the other person said. I myself made a "witty" comment AND then addressed the issue with substance. You chose to only make the former; who's the troll now?

Would you mind taking that to PMs?
I'm interested in Prague Eternal Top8s. I'd love to see the amount of BS in the top decks. I guess it'll be something like 24 o 28 BS with one Dredge, Elves, Moon or another random deck top ate.
It's a bit disingenuous to compare such a basic building block of the game as lands to everyone playing a colored card. MTG doesn't have the kind of built to be a backbone cards that eg. Netrunner does, so everyone playing Brainstorm is an indication of poor format health.
I mean, yeah, the strategies are different (and esp. were pre-Cruise when the blue decks differed more significantly), but everything being cantrippy and blue isn't exactly diverse either. Still, rather Delver, Shardless, Miracles, Storm than Delver, Delver, Miracles, Storm.

There we go. Toxic, troll, 14 year old. Let it all out. One of the best tactics when making weak points and witty one-liners is to call the person who disagrees a toxic 14 year old troll.
What parts of your comment did you want me to address further? The part where you made an analogy to soccer? Or the part where you misused the word diversity by attaching a completely different meaning to the word? Because you really addressed the issue there with strong, constructive, pertinent and decisive arguments consisting of style and substance. Well done.
This isn't soccer. Diversity already has a true meaning and it isn't "how much your mind is challenged". Are we done?
I agree with Julian's point regarding diversity, but I do have to wonder why Julian is replying to something from twenty pages ago.
Over or Under. 27 Brainstorms in the top 8 of GP NJ.
I'm going with the over.
My vote goes to 7/8 Brainstorm decks in the Top 8, and 13-14 BS decks in the Top 16, with Elves or random anti-blue decks taking the rest of the slots.
For sure 1 of U/R goes 5-0 piloted by Sam Back which has really a lot of luck, fightning vs storm (Game 3 - Storm player has kill in hand even over FoW on play - and... he didnt draw initial mana for over 3 turns).
