Well that can't be true, since they all just swore off Legacy until the Reprint List is burned to a crisp. /sQuote:

I would like the people who claim that CB is the reason for this card to be played in such high numbers to remember this one year from now... I'll have crow ready to serve.
Can I dust off my Zoo?
Terminus is still out there.
Just saying.
It's a great card on it's own, but I think it's gotta decrease a bit without Miracles around. Especially with Fatal Push around for creatures.Quote:

Yep. There's still targets for Decay, but the likes of Nature's Claim, Fatal Push, Lightning Bolt, the new white card disenchant can be more efficient answers and still hope to resolve, and you don't have to warp your mana base into BGxx to deal with Counterbalance. I'd honestly sleeve up Golgari Charm over Decay now, and toss in some Nature's Claims for the errant Blood Moons and equipment.
So what's next. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...537dddbcb2.jpg

First, the absolute madmen! They actually did it!
Also of note: They didn't give us a hostage in return (unless I missed something) which I find pretty interesting. I assume that means one of two things:
* They're quite concerned about all of those cards
* They would rather see what happens to the format rather than inject all this change in one sitting
Still, very interesting. Red just got a huge shot in the arm, Elves will probably enjoy some power, and that means that other combos will be back in force too I imagine; circling around, meaning we should see more Delver too. Very interesting times ahead!
oh man! Bant got better too! Don't have to piss yourself about constantly having 4 colors.
An exciting day for the brewer indeed
EDIT: Miracles has been boring me out of legacy for a good two years. As soon as it was apparent that it was an obvious best deck (around where people were still arguing whether the Ponder version or the Legend version was better) it's been a thorn in my side. Every time I brewed a Grixis, Bant, Esper, or a non-U deck, the specter of "Oh good, I'm perma locked unless I play 4 colors, get lucky, or play subpar garbage" loomed, and killed my enjoyment.
I am mildly sad it's Top, but no complaints. I wanted Terminus because frankly I figured hitting the lesser-evil card would be safer, but OH MAN. Time to play some Legsy
It's going to remain powerful, I expect an uptick in Chalice to fight combo, and that means Abrupt Decay to answer it.Quote:

I tend to think that Counterbalance is a grossly powerful card, and I wonder if it will stick around without top.
To be fair, you're just wrong. Lands was still a thing and is going to be a thing. As is aggro loam (which is still a control deck, despite it's name. It relies on Loaming and Pfiring your opponent to death.)Quote:

We haven't seen this format without CounterTop dominating for like.. three years. We may well find *different* control strategies survive and evolve now that being locked out for not playing Black isn't as big a deal.

Miracles has been the thorn in the side of Legacy since 2012 and the printing of Terminus. Nearly five years. It was kicked out for a month in Feb 2014, and since then was always the #1 or #2 DTB based on the formulas in the thread. I think prior to that it shared some metagame with Blade Control.Quote:
June 2012 Update
Grognards rejoice! After an obscenely long absence, classic U/W Control has returned to the top-tier of Legacy on the wings of a bunch of cheap angels and one-mana Wraths of God! And bringing Counterbalance with it, for those of us who missed that other bastard too.
