Hilarious I really did want to see the video you made of me thanks. Proves how wortless your life's really are. By the way i have alway's been aware of Revised Reprint Policy, and that none of the cards in the lighting and fire deck where on it. I was just trying to point out how much affordable WOTC is trying to make legacyQuote:

Isn't Mishra's Workshop a little to broken for legacy? I mean it is a vintage staple? I do not know the card combo's because the only format i play is legacy. But i have seen it played for fun in a vintage deck a couple of times.Quote:

he was joking.Quote:

Is the card that broken? When it terms of stalling the game (without getting infractions), its as good as Landstill. Besides, don't you get infractions for purposely slowplaying ala Saito?
Yes, its really good with Scroll Rack but Counterbalance is just as good as with Sensei's Divining Top.
Is it too much to ask to play Parfait?
Anyone else having a "Bye Vengevine Survival" party? If not, you can come to mine. Just bring your weight in hot chicks. 400+ pound guys welcome.
It's like New Years, only things actually change and get better.
Are you the same guy quoted in my sig? Play combo and HOPE to get matched up against survival.Quote:

Yes, well, then I started playing it, then ended up with my own build, then got good with it, then realized I'd never once had a Legacy deck I was more fearless going into a blind matchup with.Quote:

For some crazy reason as good as it adopted to VV , Dredge got dominant the same moment, which I dont really get why since plenty iof the usual hate espacilly unexperienced people use as a standard should hit both decks. Maybe its just a fluke for some weeks of lucky dredge players.
So you are saying you are playing it now, and that it's too powerful... well, maybe that's some placebo effect =PQuote:

And why are you so certain that VV is the one getting banned?
BTW, it will be dec 20th then, right?
Yes, Dec 20th.Quote:

Once it adjusts, things will be alright. The meta will likely adjust to:
Vengevival > Counterbalance
Counterbalance > Storm
Storm > Vengevival
Well also have rogue decks of varying tier quality that can prey on two of the decks. I initially thought that Counterbalance will go away but I later re-thought that idea and decided that a large surge of combo decks will cause it to come back. However, Counterbalance will no longer be the deck of focus: it'll simply be capitalizing on the Vengevival rampage that will be stimulating Storm combo growth.
Let's take a look at our current "tier 1" decks on this site and see some of my theorycraft:
Vial Goblins
T.E.S - The EPIC Storm
Ichorid
Vengevival
CounterTop
Merfolk
Zoo
Bant Aggro and Pro Bant
New Horizons
Vengevival is the current DTB due to how well it has been doing. Any combo based decks are pretty good against it as Veggie lacks enough disruption to stop them and they are simply faster.
Vengevival
Storm
Ichorid
Countertop decks will likely capitalize on the surge of Storm and other odd combo decks trying to beat Vengevival.
Vengevival
Storm
Ichorid
Countertop
Merfolk has good game against blue-deck and with wasteland, cursecatcher, daze, FoW and spell pierce can even give combo a run for it's money. It may not have the greatest game against Vengevival decks, but it can prey on the rest of the meta.
Vengevival
Storm
Ichorid
Countertop
Merfolk
Vial Goblins, Zoo, Bant Aggro / Pro Bant and New Horizons will likely be pushed out as they don't have favorable games against BOTH Vengevival and Storm. Just about any sideboard you use for Vengevival is worthless against Storm, and vice versa. Mid-range decks like the ones listed above are going to eventually be the absolute worse choice for the new meta. No longer will the meta be about making an uber mid-range deck to fight countertop and simply hope to avoid storm decks. No, there will be too much storm and other combo decks and sideboarding for them means less slots for the Vengevival matchup.
If Merfolk are just preying on the rest of the meta, wouldn't Zoo and Goblin be in there too? Both decks are optimal against Merfolk and whatever Control decks are present in the DTB.
So your argument is that it's okay to have a format where Red doesn't exist except for Burning Wish and/or Firespout?Quote:

Touche. In my defense, Flash Hulk was a far bigger atrocity than Survival or probably anything we'll ever see in the format again, and after multiple long naked therapy sessions with two gorgeous lady psychs, I've managed to block out that Flash Hulk ever happened. So I can't say that I have any idea what you're talking about.Quote:
