No no no, it would be a blue card still.

I guess it's worse when you are the person who is receiving the instant speed targeted discard.

Re: All B/R update speculation.
Discard can only do that much in a format where Brainstorm is legal.

Eh, the two probable best decks right now both play Cabal Therapy, discard does alright.
Re: All B/R update speculation.
Show and Tell can only do so much in a format where Tendrils of Agony is legal.

I could be wrong, but I think Show and Tell has a good Storm MU; since it can end the game T2/T3 pretty easily, but packs reasonable countermagic. It's sideboard can also spell doom, between Blasts, Spierces, and Blood Moons. Storm is a robust deck, but I think it targets things like Elves, Lands, (all?) Midrange, and non-blue.
Similarly, the other deck that runs S&T is UB Reanimator, which IIRC, is one of Storm's worst MUs.

Storm isn't that bad for Lands. Post-board I'm the favourite.
Re: All B/R update speculation.
At the very least, the matchup gets less interactive post board

Eh?
Pre-board it's primarily a race to combo. Neither player can do much else to interact. Games 2 & 3 they actually have to care about my board and target my permanents. Also I can Grip their rocks if they put them down early (trying to preemp a CotV).
Post board is vastly more interactive. And I'm considering Warping Wail too...

Show and tell has a very bad storm match up. Reanimator is a bad matchup for storm because it is much, much faster than Sneak&Show (probably faster than storm too), not because of the card Show and Tell. Also blood moon seems like a losing proposition against storm because TES will likely go faster than it, and ANT can just fetch basics and ignore it.

Hey, Dr. Jones' original poll finally makes its mark. The Source got Top banned!

Not Legacy, but there has been an update for the 1v1 Commander MTGO list:

Moat, Tabernacle, and now Strip Mine?
Does nobody else find it ominous that WotC are "fun-policing" an eternal format?
At least if they ruin MTG I can cash out on my decks.

I see it more as "Someone built a tuned Gitrog deck that I can power up with Bazaar".
Re: All B/R update speculation.
That hardly explains why Moat and Tabernacle are not legal.

Because it's an online only format that Wizard's is fucking with. Why does it matter? No one I know off line pays attention to this. If it's an issue online, well that's a topic for those who are masochistic enough to play with that program. In that case this is the lest of their issues.

Because Commander is still really meant to be a creature-based format. Moat and Tabernacle straight neuter some Commanders right off the bat.
EDH isn't supposed to be Highlander with a General.
