[Card discussion] Martyr of sands

[undone]

So, I know legacy is a super fast format compaired to other formats. Well lets look at say mono white.

1) Seems to suffer the landstill matchup

2) seems to have a bad combo MU

Problem 1 can be solved by simply + more decree of justice.

Problem 2 seems like an orims chant problem right? Well whats the BEST way to stop combo from taking you from 20 to 0, make them take you from 41 to 0.

sandy is the best 1 shot life gain ever printed, why does it see no play in this format?

For 2 I could play Powder Keg, which seems better against most combo decks. The only combo deck I've had problems against with Quinn is Solidarity anyway. Otherwise I'm mainly afraid of LD, which Martyr doesn't answer. It's a good card, but it doesn't have the same use in Legacy as in Type 2.
