WoTC is 2 for 2 in Modern updates that make me feel like I've been trolled
I'm indifferent about misstep in Legacy. I doubt it was too good, but I'm sure it was annoying to everyone I was misstepping; thought I really hate to see cards banned
Pretty pumped about getting FoF back in type 1 though. Believe it or not, Vintage is probably the best format right now
Yep DCI/Wizards never fails... those that cry the loudest wins!
Joe, improve your manners or get out. Apart from that, Counterbalance is far from a real and dedicated control like Landstill. You keep refusing to acknowledge other people's arguments in other threads which is super annoying already. Now you troll again, stop it unless you lost all self respect.
You see where this is going, right? - Bardo
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!).
*Echoes all posts already made in this thread, except for the trolls*
EDIT: Especially in regards to Roodmistah (Dreadnought/stifle decks), and Cook (Boners/Instant/Storm)

God damn I hope they figure out the bolded part some day.Force of Will has long been thought of as a card that helps keep combination decks in check in Legacy and Vintage. However, it doesn't directly help decks that aren't playing blue. One idea that was floated was creating a similar card that could be played in nonblue decks. When Phyrexian mana was designed, it was an opportunity to create such a card. R&D wanted a card that could help fight combination decks, and could also fight blue decks by countering cards such as Brainstorm. Clearly printing a card like this has a lot of risk, but there is also the potential for helping the format a lot. The risk is mitigated, because if it turns out poorly, the DCI can ban the card.
Unfortunately, it turned out poorly. Looking at high-level tournaments, instead of results having blue and nonblue decks playing Mental Misstep, there are more blue decks than ever. The DCI is banning Mental Misstep, with the hopes of restoring the more diverse metagame that existed prior to the printing of Mental Misstep.
The worst bannings on this list by far are the Extended bannings, because that means they plan on keeping this farce of a format around. When will WotC understand that no one wants to play shitty 4 year Extended, AKA "The same Standard DTBs you got tired of playing against for 2 years, now come play against them for 2 more."
Yay WotC, really? You mean if I go to an Ext GP in the next 3 years I'll get to play vs. Caw Go again? Super-fucking-duper.

Sweep the leg!
The real problem with Misstep being banned so soon is that its highly doubtful that any of the other 1 drop banned cards will ever come off the list. They are practically 'cemented' in now that misstep is banned.

33% more. I see what you did there. Very creative. I guess the not-so-subtle difference between whining and gloating is lost on those who need a tissue.
Also, I would be surprised if Snapcaster was able to help out CB in the form it looked last I saw it. That deck was a bit low on inst/sorc for a reliable use I'm guessing.
"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
"Politicians are like diapers. They should be changed often and for the same reason."
"Governing is too important to be left to people as silly as politicians."
"Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers."
Legacy suddenly becomes the comboformat modern was yesterday.
I dont expect a diversified metagame since Tendrils and Hightide Decks are the best decks available once again.
They practically killed Stoneblade and Maverick, oh boy.
At least ill try to play Canadian once again.
Got tired of Legacy and you like drafts? Try my Paupercube What?

Well, I think the only reasonable option here is to play Merfolk until people put away the combo decks again.
You mean lose matches to the combo decks? TES has a surprisingly good matchup against Merfolk, more so with Mental Misstep banned.

please correct me if i am wrong, but i dont remember storm dominating the format pre misstep - post survival. Also wasnt counterbalance falling apart as one of the powerhouse decks before misstep anyway?
As a belcher pilot one thing i noticed was that many people used misstep wrong anyway, countering the first one drop they saw, intead of the biggest threat. Please counter the probe i was using for storm count anyway and let my riite of flame go.
What I'm most interested in seeing is how many playable, viable CMC=1 cards will increase in price due to the banning of an uncommon Magic card.
