Oh i know but that card is nowhere near legacy playable.
That card reads like this to me:
3 mana, to use this 1 turn from now for 2 more mana. By Activating me, I give your opponent 7 more chances to mess up whatever I'm doing.
Also I'm a creature that dies to so many things.
An interesting thing about it though is that you can Sneak it into play then activate it the same turn.Quote:

It's bad, but Magus is also a funny way to mess with LED - Infernal Tutor tricks. Off Sneak Attack you could even hit them post Ad Nauseam.
As all have said, it's almost certainly garbage, but look at the goofy deck we choose to play. LOL
I own the cards to play most tier one legacy decks, but choose to play with cards and decks that I enjoy. I'll be play testing with a group of friends on Sunday, and will report what Pat Sajak did or didn't do for me.
Again I was seeded 1st at the end of pool play (6 rounds, 49 cats) only to lose a match in top 8 before the finals. Balls. Wins against D&T, D&T, TES, Jund, White Stax. Only losses on the day were: Jeskai Stoneblade round 1 and...oh, Jeskai Stoneblade (different pilot) in round 1 of top 8. I should do something about that.
And to all the haters, Magus of the wheel is a 3 of in my 75.
I'm intriguted by Magus of the Wheel, but in what matchups do you usually sideboard them in?

You have to remember we generally have more threats than they have counter effects, drawing 7 for both feels symmetrical, but mathematically, it rarely is. We NEED card draw in the mid to late game against control decks, this is it.
I would love to see your newest list.Quote:

It was truly disheartening!
If I decide to play the deck again, I will be playing at least 3 to 4 Worldspine Wurms. In the 3 matches I lost after swinging with Emrakul, if I had played the Wurm instead, I would have won everyone of those games.
We've all lost to this happening. It's a thing.Quote:

So... tired out pat sajack last night. I didn't like him before and I can say without a shadow of a doubt. I don't like him at all. What's worse than having your opponent play a bunch of counter spells in their deck? Having your opponent draw 7 cards.

It shows how sometimes it doesn't need to show how inconsistent the deck is :D. I love it too though. Congratulations.
Also, I'm intrigued by your "no Griselbrand" argument. Although, it does have the much needed card draw in this deck to finish someone off, and It does give for some really explosive plays where you pump out Grisel with Sneak Attack, draw into a Lotus Petal/Shaman for the Emrakul to hit the board. But it hasn't served you like that? =/
I'm sorry but Magus is garbage. As potatodavid said I cut 1 mountain and added a coercive portal and it's helped a lot. Once I do some more fine tuning I'm gonna try to squeeze in another.
Trying a second Wurm in favor of the 3rd emrakul. gonna see how that pans out.
God I hope that chandra spoiler is for real.
Except for stuff like StP (although... Karakas on the other hand), it feels like the wurm is better to seal the deal. Maybe that's a way to off-set the lack of drawing into more threats. Let us know.Quote:

Would likely not replace titan. Would likely get flexed in a single (possible coercive portal replacement) and maybe a couple in the board. All 3 modes are useful given the right opponent.Quote:

Hope it's sarcasm, cause I can't see the use for her in this deck. I see her as too expensive, as a lot of other Red Planeswalkers. Red always gets the crappy PW's :cry:.Quote:
