    I personally don't think Hermit druid would break the format, but it's more likely to be broken than not so I can see why they would err on the safe side

    Re: All B/R update speculation.

    It would be a rather odd UG Combo Tempo deck. I don't think it would be a lot of fun to play against consistency but I think it would be cool to see now and again.

    That's said, a top tier deck that can't run basics seems like pushing us back to the late DRS days. Where Lands and Red Stompy where looking to be top dogs. With Six in the format it might go that way anyway.

    I think the card is broken in half, but is that really uncommon these days?
    It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.

    I agree, but I don't think we need Dark Ritual to make Plague Engineer good. I think Nic-Fit could really streamline it's game plan into straight BG considering the recent new toys like the Elvish land tutor and Yawgmoth. I would play the shit out of Mind Twist Nic-Fit.

    I play hermit druid in EDH, and I can tell you that it is pretty broken. The deck is able to fight off three other decks and come out the victor within the first few turns on a consistent basis. Granted you have access to some of the most broken tutors and such, I think a legacy port of the deck would still be busted good. - tutors + consistency and protection.

    Im sure the format could deal with it but it is very very resilient. I dont imagine it being healthy for the format either.

    Legacy also gets to play 4 ofs answers to combo decks. Lite I said, I think the format could deal with it, but I think they'd rather be safe about it

    It's also worth mentioning that it is a 1 card combo. Additionally, Killing hermit druid is almost worse than letting him live because of hasted reanimation. RFGis just another hoop to jump through. See the list in my sig.

    That doesn't look broken, but it's probably consistent enough to win through hate often.

    GB versions based around Shallow Grave might be more explosive, but less consistent.

    Re: All B/R update speculation.

    i'd probably go with some mox diamond build with wren and six. this lets you cast a turn 1 druid with potential force backup. would be 4 colors, but in a deck that doesn't play basics i don't think it's an issue.

    I don’t think they’re gonna unban anything in legacy if they aren’t going to ban something. Seem to have a bit of a give and take attitude, and they wanna keep a stockpile of ‘goodies’ to feed us with.

    ....but hopefully, they’d unban frantic search. If I’m gonna hope, gotta hope big!

    Re: All B/R update speculation.

    After recently seeing a list of GB depth splashing Blue just for 4 Brainstorms and a stifle. I think we are at a point when BS must go.
    Also if Echos of Eons exist. Why not unban Memory Jar? Lets go for the big fuck up, instead of durdling with Earthcraft, Mind twist or Survival.

    I really want something big for this summer.

    The BUG depths lists with BS and stifle have been around for awhile. Popularized by the guy who created the Topdecked app. Baxter something can't remember his name

    Yeah I think that could be pretty safe, and maybe will give more space to solidarity and spiral tide
