If i'm OTP, I win because i destroy your land and my chronomaton will race overseer if you played it instead of scepter.
If i'm OTD, you will have isochron scepter online before i can do anything. so you can destroy the first land i play and i will not be able to destroy your land and you will be able to kill all my permanents.
So W L instead of DL i think.

1. Asthereal: OTP: Field of ruin T1, i can destroy whatever land you play and proceed to win. OTD: I have to play sphere T1, then chronomaton T2 and field of ruin to destroy mishra to win with my 1/1 than i cannot boost :) 6-0 6
2. Wrath of pie: OTP: I play sphere of resistance. you can't play anthing else after that, except LED that would discard your hand without effect. OTD You can do your thing on T1 and end up with ulamog Under shelldock isle with LED on the top of your Library.

I wasent sure of the interaction between sphere and isochron scepter. I found conflicting answers when I searched for the interaction. Ill never be able to pay the additional 1, so even if i cast isochron I cant activate it until t2 and by then you have sphere up.
Oh and otp you win because you cast sphere first and I cant cast anything, not for other reasons. Chronomaton and steel overseer when played on the same turn will alwyas be able to block and kill eachother.
@H as for encroach, this is kinda better than wasteland in some ways since the player doesn’t ever even get 1 use from the land if they are otd. However, against basic lands or if the encroah player is otd its pretty worthless. This is the first round its been played so we’ll see. It’s a card i,ve had my eye on.

This is the correct answer.
2. Wrath of Pie: Shelldock Isle, Chronomaton, Lion's Eye Diamond, Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
1. Asthereal: Mishra's Factory, Grove of the Burnwillows, Punishing Fire, Mayor of Avabruck WW
3. Whoshim: Dwarven Hold, Greater Gargadon, Electrodominance, Restore Balance WW
4. CptHaddock: Cathedral of War Inkmoth Nexus Maze of Ith The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale WW
5. JackaBo: Pendelhaven, inkmoth nexus, drop of honey, field of ruin WW - Hideaway lets me order my cards, so your Field of Ruin is too slow.
6. Ace/Homebrew: Chancellor of the Forge, Pyrokinesis, Unmask, Faerie Macabre LL
7. spirit of the wretch: Keldon Megaliths, Rakdos Carnarium, Kitesail Freebooter, Ensnaring Bridge WW
8. Strawberry Dwarf: City of Traitors, Isochron Scepter, Selesnya Charm, Mental Misstep WW - The traditional choice here is Lightning Helix, but that matters little against me, because I exile Scepter with the Ulamog cast.
9. Tylert: Sphere of resistance, chronomaton, city of traitors, field of ruins DL - I can cast Ulamog t3 through Sphere via Shelldock, so you have to Sphere t1 and destroy Shelldock t2 on the play.
10. FTW: City of Traitors, Sphere of Resistance, Chronomaton, Chronomaton WL - Sphere only slows me down on the play.
11. H: Bayou, Encroach, Mind Swords, Young Wolf WL - Leading with Encroach forces a LED shuffle, and I draw Chronomaton and Ulamog which you Mind Swords away.
12. apple713: City of Traitors, Isochron Scepter, Assassin's Trophy, Steel Overseer WL - Hideaway gets you on the play.
13. PirateKing: Cavern of Souls, Noble Hierarch, Nightshade Peddler. Swiftblade Vindicator WW
14. kombatkiwi: Karakas, Iona, Shield of Emeria, Lion's Eye Diamond, Unburial Rites WW

Yeah, I meant "silly" as in wildly inconsistent, not powerful and ban worthy. It's fundamentally flawed, like you say, because often on the draw it's useless. I don't think it should be banned at all, in fact, I think it's good to have to keep some land-based strategies in check. Not to mention, Misstep is still legal.
I think my experiment was sufficient to demonstrate the proof on concept at least, that it can have use. That's my real talent, consistently being mediocre.

Two votes so far for banning Field of Ruin.
It has been putting up impressive numbers, so I am inclined to agree.
Who else has an opinion about banning this card?
Mental shortcuts fail me again, let me fix that.
EDIT: Actually, if I just hold back and cast Chronomaton and ignore hideaway that makes things more complicated. You should still get me though because of Pyrokinesis, and you can Macabre away the dead Chronomaton if I ever try a LED recursion loop.
I'd vote against banning at this point. It certainly isn't over-represented. It also requires (at best) one or (at worst) two others cards to use. I think there should be something other than Encroach to pressure mana...
Raze, Sea's Claim, Evil Presence, and Lush Growth can do the job just fine.
I honestly don't think tabernacle is great in this Format...
Field on the other Hand is extremly powerful and potentially oppressive
Sneaky Pirates of Doom - Not really a Legacy Team anymore.
Tabernacle is not actually that good anyways, it feasts on threats cast via Lotus and those really don't exist because Black Lotus is (correctly) banned and Lotus Bloom is slow enough.
Also, if you want colorless land destruction, you still have Dust Bowl.
You should think less of land destruction and more of mana/wincon denial, because that is what the end goal of land destruction actually is, and the auras are quite potent at doing so.
Har har
I have Tectonic Edge too.
Whether or not it's good depends on the supporting three cards and what the meta looks like. Taking away an actually playable (and non-dominant) support piece removes an interesting axis of attack.
Chronomaton on the other hand is over-represented and has probably accumulated far more points for those playing it...
My main issue with field is that it is too easily enabled with an ancient tomb and city of traitors. The majority of decks in this format rely on non basic lands so it’s pretty much always relevant and there is not much downside.
I dont know that id call it oppressive but it discourages decks from maximizing their mana which is extremely important in this format. In legacy its ok because the trade off is a reasonable setback for greedy manabases. In this format it becomes gamebreaking.
