Does this truly neuter the Bridgevine deck in modern? Is the Bridgevine deck good enough to port to Legacy?

Really?!? Very cool. It seems like an explosive deck for sure, and a little less susceptible to graveyard hate as traditional dredge. Seeing it in action, there are self-sustaining combos with Bridge/Hogaak/Altar, as early as turn 2 but reliably t3. Backup plan of having 12+ power on the battlefield t2-3 seems ok. I love that Altar can disrupt Terminus, probably the one card that would truly foil this deck in Legacy.
Looking at Legacy, was anyone actually expecting or hoping for a ban? I thought we might get Earthcraft and/or Mind Twist unbanned at last, but the powers-that-be seem to be more comfortable with just letting War of the Spark/Modern Horizons cause enough shake-up.

Nomenclature aside, I think the deck is still incredibly powerful without Bridge. So it becomes Altar-Vine, Hogaak-Vine, or just Hogaak, whatever, the point I'm attempting to make is this: will the deck still be oppressive by making 12+ power on t2 reliably?

With bridge from below banned in modern maybe they could unban Golgari Grave-Troll for the second time.
not sure if that's serious or not. GGT was way too busted for dredge. dredge also hasn't played bridge in a while in modern. deck is really stable without it. i really like the deck.

So when is Legacy’s announcement?
Announcement coming up on 8/26, any predictions? The modern community is clamoring for a Hogaak ban, which I think is fairly inevitable, which could result in a Stoneforge unban (prisoner exchange program.) That's my prediction for modern.
I still want Mind Twist for legacy, but I think there will be no changes. Modern Horizons has really shaken up the format with W&6, Force of Negation, Urza, Yawgmoth, and lots of other cards. War of the Spark gave us Dreadhorde Arcanist and Narset, Parter of Veils. I predict no changes.

Would guess no changes to legacy. There’s no one ban to dissuade the 4-5c stuff. Astrolabe would be the best ban, but that wouldn’t do a thing to stop 4c Wrenn. Hit Wrenn and you just Vista into Astrolabe and do the next best thing.
