Karn is good. I dunno if I'm going to say "broken" but It's 100% got a place in legacy.
Good. I hope Brainstorm and company rot in hell.Originally Posted by Barook
God forbid the format go back to the days where only half of top 8 decks contain the card Brainstorm rather than the current 6/8 or 7/8
I am afraid if this new Karn deck becomes too powerful they will have to ban it just because "everyone loves playing Brainstorm" and "Brainstorm is the pillar of the format". How can you have a deck better than brainstorm deck.
Sad but true.
Ugh.
And I was hoping we could talk about Dark Ritual and Ashiok.

PM me if you want to contribute!
would'nt the dark ritual - Ashiok deck be soft to D&T anyway?
But yes, it seems like a good option :)
I am curious if Ashiok will fit in to a Mill deck in legacy.
I will definitely see a line like this in a permission deck a la Canadian Threshold style:
Turn 1: Fetch-> dark rit-> Ashiok -> use ability on yourself
Turn 2: Land-> Zombie fish -> hold daze/FoW/Stifle or cast ponder.
Might be a cool deck maybe it will revive some sort of Dark Threshold.
Probably just easier to go Rit -> Last Hope -> you have 4 turns before you lose.
Why not both?

Next Monday is the update, any bids? All formats seem poised for a huge shake-up given the cards added from War of the Spark, so I figure no changes. I also think Modern Horizons will have a significant impact on both Modern and Legacy.
I'm quite encouraged by the continuing trend of printing good sets. Dominaria was excellent and only a few sets later we get War of the Spark. There's hope for the long-term health of this game yet.
My one prediction: London mulligan goes into effect. I'm not sure what the deadline/roll-out will be but it likely won't take long, probably effective by 6/1.

Doubt they ban Ancient Tomb this soon, but the new results have made it abundantly clear why it should be watched. Unfortunately WotC seems incapable of banning CB [unban SDT] and ban Hymn [unban DRS].
Yeah, that's my thinking as well. WAR cards, plus new Mulligan means no other actions. Not to mention the impending dump of Modern Horizon cards into the relevant formats.

Now that one of my decks is finally putting up results I assume bannings are inevitable. Dunno which card will get the axe though, probably the most valuable one so goodbye...Grim monolith.
I think that they should just put all the pieces on a dart board, throw darts, and whatever gets hit gets banned. That makes way more sense than banning Mycosynth Lattice, a game ending lock piece that every karn deck plays.
Ancient Tomb will never be banned. Ever. Brainstorm has a better chance going first, and its been legal since the format was 1.5.
Are Karn decks really doing so well that tomb/monolith need the axe?
Of course it is an over-reaction to something that has been legal for less than a month. The meta has hardly even adopted it, let alone adapted to it. It's just the usual sort of knee-jerk reactions we are accustomed to though.

No, but as someone who got their deck banned over and over again in modern I have just resigned myself to the inevitable. I look at the deck, find the card that fits into the most other decks, and ban it. SPLASH!
