    Ixalan [XLN]

    So someone at Wotc is probably getting fired for this. Ixalan leak, way ahead of schedule. The Hour of Devestation one was more reasonable as we would have known that stuff in a week or two but this is something else, a whole foil sheet.

    I'm pretty excited about Sorcerous Spyglass, a playable Needle in Chalice decks seems great.

    Ancient tomb, spyglass, name your only fetch is probably gonna be a play in the fall season :P

    The fact that cost 2 also make it way more playable along with chalice, and the power to peek for a sure hit on an empty board is probably well worth the extra mana in a lot of decks.

    I like it, but spyglass is unlikely to replace Revoker in the decks I run that have Tomb.

    I also can't wait to have more than one Jace at the same time at some point.

    EDIT: Minus Jace, VP interactions

    Pretty much.

    You can either jam Wastelands to protect your Sol lands or catch some of their fetches before they can play them. Or shut down one of their key cards. I like it.

    Edit: The Banner kinda screams "ELVES", although I doubt it would have place in Legacy Elves.

    Somebody also pointed out the card in the top corner is yet another fucking Jace variant, "Castaway". With Ajani showing up in Explorers, they still can't tone down the Gatewatch involvement. Goddamn it.

    Edit #2: I do wonder if there are any practical applications for Arcane Adaption. Making everything uncounterable with Cavern of Souls would be a good start.

    That's the thing about the announcements earlier this week. It's all far out projections; the next set was already printed before they made the pledge to reduce the Jacetice league. No telling when the decision was made internally. Hence I think we can still see some more bans in Standard before the new-management dust settles.

    The think I like about the Spyglass is with a deck like TurboDepths. Against a deck like DnT, do you name Wasteland, Vial, Karakas? Well if you have a turn 3 Lage kill, you can more accurately name exactly what will stop you. The card is pretty savage turn 1 against fetches too, so I wouldn't dismiss it from Stax lists.

    I'm not saying it's the easiest deck to play, but the plan is so linear that I could probably get white girl wasted and still beat people with the deck.

    I'm also interested in Arcane Adaptation in Elves. Ever stop to think about how much of a pain Wirewood Symbiote being an Elf is (Mirror Entity says hi)? Or how trivial it is to go infinite with.

    There's absolutely nothing that would indicate that they are fake.

    Well fuck. Someone is going to get actually fucking arrested over this. I am all for knowing about something ahead of time, it's fun to know what's coming, but this feels wrong. Not even God book in New Phyrexian wrong, Wizards themselves played a part in that, as in fucking should never have happened, criminal liability levels of wrong.


    For the record, the process for leaks here is: If you have something you shouldn't and you desperately want to post it, take it elsewhere.
    If you have found something on a separate site and it's now in the wild your in the clear. I want this site to have nothing to do with Wizards looking for information on a cracked seal.

    This may not be best for Legacy, but Shaper's Sanctuary looks like it'd be hilarious paired with two Spellskite. Granted it requires an opponent to be the one casting a spell that can be redirected to Spellskite, but if they do, you can save the original target and draw X+1 cards in exchange for 2*X life and one of the Spellskites.

    Wouldn't Leovold do the same thing on a card that is actually good? Actually, Leovold + Spellskite sounds like a fun combo - they play removal for Leovold, you get +2 CA and they still have accomplished jackshit.

    I used to play this deck in oldschool. Hope they erata Fungusaur to Enrage, as an honorable mention.

    There isn't another flip card that reduce sorcery and instant cost and flip in land?

    I find it amusing that the best answers to the upcoming UW Approach decks in standard... are also in UW.

    Between Opt, Search, Supreme Will, and your draw step, getting that second cast off is usually going to be just 1-2 turns later. I feel bad for all the dinosaur decks* that will be invalidated by the UW plan. At least black has Lost Legacy.

    *I will absolutely be playing one of those decks, because Dinosaurs!
