All B/R update speculation.

That said, some some reason slow play is absolutely rampant in Japan and miracles players are by far the worse offenders. So I utterly understand the logistics behind the ban.

Imagine how I felt when my 4x Shahrazad deck was banned, yet I'm the one who has to cope with those damn top-shuffle-top sequences.. I die to slow play more often than I do to having 0 life left, and I know it's not me because I pick aggressive decks to minimize the impact it has on me.

Pretty much me, right now:

Durdle tears are so sweet.

The Fucking Sweetest. The posts in the Miracles thread make it sound like somebody actually died. lololol.

Yet another victim of the brainstorm tiranny, rip top, may our t2 decks prosper in peace without you.

Not even a single card unbanned, seriously wotc

Towards where do I focus my hate now? :D

Feels great after hating on Top for 4-5 years now.

That'll be me in 2 months when TNN/Leo/DRS takes over the format.

Well, something is definitely dead now [emoji4]

Reddit is losing their fucking minds over this. I don't think any of them play Legacy. Format became so warped to deal with Miracles that it was thought to be just a normal part of Legacy.

They also said this wasn't enough to justify a ban.

Hasn't Mentor already replaces ETA in most cases? Seems like the worst possible ban if you want to knock the deck down a peg.

Sure, they said that but they still banned the card.

With the format moving more towards slower BUG decks (as opposed to Eldrazi for a while), ETA became a lot better.

These B/R updates are just proof that Wizards is trying to dumb down the game, this time by killing Doomsday decks.
WotC is always pandering to netdeckers who aren't willing to learn how to play a deck themselves.

Yeah I don't think so either. Seems like the majority of Reddit users on the Legacy subreddit are just modern converts.

I think UWx Stoneblade comes back. Batterskull can deal with Leovold and hold off Truename nicely. Supreme Verdict of course. UWb with discard, Force, Deluge, and counterspells (actual Counterspell) could be a thing.

UW Control with Rest in Peace and Energy Field might come back, although Decay still lingers.

So many deck ideas had to be killed off early because it couldn't deal with Miracles...which is how Reid Duke BUG became a thing anyway.

lol. I loved DDFT, but tbh, those ~3 players worldwide are not even on Wizard's radar (or anyone's).

For those of you that missed it this is easily the best Hot Take of this entire banning

Another good thing about this ban is no one has to face off against an Invocation Counterbalance...awesome that Starcity is offering refunds on it.

The big take away is that WotC not handling the format the way one wants does not mean they do not care about it or are not paying attention.

They sited logistics in their reasoning.
