You guys don't think that the white Archetype is playable? I really don't know but it seems possible.

I'd try Brimaz in Deadguy Ale or something... Tokens to feed Cabal Therapy.Quote:

If Soul Sisters was a thing, that'd maybe be the closest thing to MWA. But that's another deck where Brimaz is really only okay unless you're like crazy about Soul Warden triggers.

He doesn't exactly support the prison strategy - just like Mirran Crusader. He might provide alot of value, though. Karakas tricks are just the icing on the cake.Quote:

I decided to see what people were talking about here and I must admit page 10 has some real quality posts right there comedy wise. As for Brimaz in legacy, how is he any better than mirran crusader? I don't see it. Dies to abrupt decay and every removal spell sans bolt and disfigure. He's a 3/4 for 1WW that makes 1/1's. That isn't close to being good enough in legacy. This set in legacy so far has me interested in just the scry infest and even that I'm not caring that much about considering toxic deluge was just printed.
Well, for death and taxes Brimaz being legendary is certainly a boon. Secondly, Brimaz does not die to burn spells (and comparatively crusader does), which actually are much more prevalent than abrupt decay at the moment. Delver decks all run burn, and many decks are running punishing fire, both of which give crusader problems. Also, Brimaz also gets around a TNN, albeit slowly. And if that wasn't enough, due to vigilance this guy is great on offense and defense. Plus, if you get one swing in the token gives you the ability to stop Liliana of the Veil (which is super relevant when this guy is likely to be vialed in EOT). Also, this guy is a 4 turn clock on an open board k (4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 22 damage), whereas crusader is a 5 turn clock. That's pretty crazy damage for a 3-drop.
So really, crusader can get through a goyf, batterskull, and abrupt decay, but loses on a lot of other fronts. I won't be surprised to see this guy as a 3x in Death and taxes.
I don't think anyone really expects him to be played in anything more than D&T and maybe Deadguy Ale like already previously mentioned. However, I agree that he will make a lot of fair MU's easier, especially against anything with Punishing in its title. That's not something Mirran Crusader can boast.
I think Deadguy Ale is going to become more of a thing since it is starting to take a D&T approach but with moar CA via Bob and the option of discard and even better board wipes as to have a better aggro MU (not a huge problem yet, to be sure, but I think aggro will be back, just not sure when or how).

Stasis isn't really getting reprinted is it?
Nope, both confirmed fakes.
Disappointed and relieved at the same time. Was pretty excited to troll modern events with stasis. Alternatively I was a push of a button from buying ral zareks that I really didn't want to buyQuote:

In a Standard where Mana Leak is too powerful? Do you realize how many Standard players will cry?Quote:

If you had asked me to pick 10 cards that would never be reprinted in Standard, I don't think there's any doubt in my mind that Stasis would have been in that list, surrounded by nine other early cards with like five hundred words of Oracle text each.Quote:

Stasis plus a vigilant token generator... I'm sure people would love that.Quote:

WOW this card is incredible. Will 100% see play. I'd say it's an auto 4 of in D&T and is probably only a bit worse than Thalia.
A symmetrical hatebear for Brainstorm?
Has Hell frozen over?
Now that's a hatebear.Quote:
