+1 - Yet I realize this strategy is not viable in Legacy due to the high efficiency in spells. LD only works when good spells cost 3-4 mana. I think a while ago WotC stated they wanted to lessen the influence that LD, Discard, and Counters had on the format (standard?), then they reprint Duress, Mana Leak, and... Tectonic Rift? Pffff please, you can't fool us with your double talk.
