Now that Legacy's had a major paradigm shift away from Counterbalance, silly dated cards like Lackey and Tendrils can be scratched off for the new order of cards. That, and Lord of Atlantis. Despite how little I want to see a merfolk up there, the deck has been a defining check to combo since Lorwyn. It kind of deserves its spot.

Finally, someone gets on the Island bandwagon. Card is dominating legacy and somehow gets no respect.

[tsabo_tavoc]

1. Lich
2. Nefarious Lich
3. Tendrils of Agony
4. Dread Return
5. Phyrexian Obliterator

These cards are simply too undercosted to be fair in Legacy. Fortunately, Legacy is a gentleman's format and fair decks are dominant where junkier cards can see play, such as

1. High Tide
2. Mox Opal
3. Sensei's Divining Top
4. Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
5. Knight of the Reliquary

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Be sad to see Survival go, but it is banned and had a good run.

I didn't choose island because the artwork would probably not look particularly great on the banner.

[Brushwagg]

I would hate to see a basic land in the banner. Also what picture would you use? Everone likes different pictures on the lands and alot of them are just aweful looking. I would be all for a dual land going in there but not a basic.

Snow-Covered Island from Ice Age. Best. Island. Ever. (but I do love my Snow-Covered lands so maybe I'm biased)

We might shorten it to 10 (from 11) if it isn't close. Six slots are locked, so 4-5 up for grabs.

Lackey wasn't an auto only because it's been awhile since goblins has really performed well - merfolk way outperformed it in the SCGs.

Goblins won the first couple SCGs of 2011 in the post-Survival era. This was only a few months ago. It's not like it hasn't put up results in a year. I think Goblins is still a deck to beat (or at least to watch). If you bring a deck to a Legacy tourney, whatever deck it might be, you still need to make sure that your deck doesn't lose to a Lackey connecting on turn two.

[Master Shake]

I'd rather see iconic, cards that begin with H on the banner personally. None of these are elgible but:

1. Hurloon Minotaur
2. Hypnotic Specter
3. Humility
4. Hundroog
5. Hymn to Tourach (all four pictures)

But really, the list we're presented to choose from is biased against cards that you only really need to play a single copy of to get the best effect such as Moat, Tendrils of Agony, Progenitus, Ad Nauseam, The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale and so on. These cards are basically all iconic of the format but aren't really represented from the sample size becuase it slants towards cards that everyone is going to play four of.
