Fuck. Which one of my quotes do I drop for this?
No it's not.
Oh, weird, I don't use MTGO. WotC's banned list announcement said that the MTGO effective date was 4/24. Thanks for the heads up though.
I stand corrected. I am use to the announcement taking effect on the Friday. This is new to me.

I'm no expert on the Legacy metagame, I mainly stick to Nic Fit or Burn and just tune them... but I'm expecting a UW deck to rise up. Pretty much everyone thinks Chalice is going to turn into the formats policeman, and Chalice+Prelate is super hateful, maybe Esper to include Toxic Deluge (probably the best option without a reliable Terminus) and DRS to Prelate on T2.
Okay okay okay, to get this straight...
...it's an autoloss because:
Tom Ross, a heck of a Magic player and master of Infect, played against mostly less experienced players (unless he, for some reason, only plays other exceptional players at tournaments) and says he didn't lose to them more than once (quotation needed).
You tested the matchup once.
Reddit-data from "a couple years ago" (source please)
You watched some matches
You playing against Miracles with other decks
I'm assuming the next big legacy event that gets lots of air time would be MTGfirst's quest for power9 June 4th. Kory runs a bad ass stream @Snapcasters. And being it's Maryland/DC area with lots of great players. I'd hope that it will give us a good insight to were meta will shift too.
I also think Burn will earn a solid place in the tier 1 group. I had a solid belief the only reason why it wasn't tier one beforehand was the dogma it held. And most players that play burn probably don't have 2 round byes. 2 round byes helps so much getting pass the BS decks burn has problems with outside of combo. Like mud. Or other tier 2-3 decks you may face with out byes.
Also combo decks aren't as bad as everyone thinks for burn. If storm or Sneak and show don't go off by turn 2 your odds of winning is actually in your favor. And the match ups get better after SB. And the elves match up is probably the most fun and technical match up ever that's also fairly even.
@Munchyman
This Sunday is MKM Frankfurt, a (probably) several hundred player tournament. I will be there live, to jump into the "what do we do now?" metagame. ^^
The problem with Burn is a lower skill cap in my opinion. You can only get so far with the deck, as it doesn't provide that many interactions and sequences.
Maybe you weren't around the community at the time, but early summer 2015 there were some threads on Reddit gathering match specific data from major events and recording match specific win-rates.
You are free to look this up. I could do the digging (there are links in the banned list thread if you go back far enough), but I'm not sure what I'm trying to prove to you at this point. You've offered nothing substantial to support your position, other than claiming "personal experience", and you're kind of trolling me now.
Supremacy 2020 is the modern era game of nuclear brinksmanship! My blog:

This has to be the post with the most irony in it since the history of the Internet.

I was told there would be Maverick. I was told there would be Zoo!
The purpose of any moat is to impede attack. Some are filled with water, some with thistles. Some are filled with things best left unseen.
fuck me that's a lot of combo
Best part about combo? It can always be hated out
Time to break out Stax.

. . . Love that guided passage is being played!
I'll wait for a bit to see how the metagame shakes out, but if Storm/S&T gains significant metashare, I'll probably sleeve up White Eldrazi again.
It sounds to me like people forgot that the cornerstone of the format is Discard+Counterspells. Your deck must have one or the other, or preferably both in order to be competitive... plus some removal.
If you don't run interaction, combo will beat you.
You know Enric is back when people start talking about Guided Passage. I don't even need to check.
All the oldschoolers coming back to Legacy now that Miracles it's gone, it's amazing.
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!).
