    Well let's role with this . . . if you had 1 banned card in your deck how would you build the most broken deck?

    I saw this and I was like 'cool, maybe include Survival, Top, unban a few cards that are safe.' Instead it's like 'Vintage lite', which would play totally different than actual legacy. Seems a little shifty to me...

    Tough call... Storm with 4x LED and 4x Black Lotus seems gas-tastic, or are you suggesting that it's a 1-of?

    No. The point is just to have fun with them, so we have been dropping them into existing decks. Gush is amazing with Brainstorm. Fastbond in Elves, etc.

    As far as broken combos go we talked about having each person choose one banned card to play. It's not the version I prefer but it does cut down on the broken two card combos and I have to concede is more in line with the philosophy of having the format still play like Legacy.
    Yep, this is a more sensible route to go, and it's been done before as a way to test the power level of various banned cards. Your original proposal was basically a slightly slower Vintage.
