Any chance on Goblin Lackey dropping a Dark-Dwellers to flash back a Brainstorm leads to a ban of some sort?

[Kanti]

Another day Frantic Search stays on the banned list, another cut on my wrists. My Tide deck went back to shit after the DTT ban.

No.

Imagine putting two goblins back and casting a Ringleader afterward! Seems too good for this format.

[Lord_Mcdonalds]

Brainstorm, put two AEther vials back, ringleader #BrokeTheFormat

We did it guys.

[Dice_Box]

This is childish, but amusing as fuck too.

There is little chance that the new Goblin, or any other new Goblins will help a deck running Lackey. What that deck needs is an old Goblin but that one is banned.

Lackey trigger on the stack, Brainstorm, put two Goblins back, put Ringleader in, draw the Goblins and still have Vials

so the only R source are 2 barbarian rings, hmm

And from a time when a UR deck was packing 6 BeB effects and only 2 ReB ones... So legacy hasn't been always U-dominated!

[Dice_Box]

That's when Goblins was a tour de force. Not so much any more.

I'm guessing 4 of those islands might have been Volcanics

[LegacyIsAnEternalFormat]

I think Earthcraft, Mana Drain, and Mind Twist can all come off.
Earthcraft can come off because 1. It can be disrupted with counterspell, vindicate, abrupt decay, etc. 2. There are better/faster combos out there in legacy than this plus Squirrel's Nest so that won't do much damage. 3. It requires a basic land.
Mana Drain- There are not many high many spells running around in the decks that would run this and the decks they'd play. Most of the time it wouldn't be much better than counterspell which isn't even played that much.
Mind Twist- Without acceleration it is worse than hymn to tourach in the early game and late game it just isn't that powerful compared to other cards that are being castedand with acceleration there is much better things to do than wasting your hand to launch a big mind twist at your opponent that can be misdirected back to yourself.

[Bed Decks Palyer]

Earthcraft can... be disrupted with wasteland. It requires a basic land.

Well...

I'd love to NOT see Mana Drain in this format.

[Kanti]

Mana Drain you, untap, Mind Twist on t3? Oh god...

[jrsthethird]

Well...

I'd love to NOT see Mana Drain in this format.

Mana Drain your Gurmag Angler, Miracle Entreat for 7, gg.

[Maikhell]

Mana Drain your Gurmag Angler, Miracle Entreat for 7, gg.

Nope, wouldn't work this way.

[Zombie]

Nope, wouldn't work this way.

Uh, yes it would. Gurmag Angler's converted mana cost is 7. It having Delve doesn't have any effect on that. Mana Draining Delve cards is just as broken as jrsthethird's comment implies.

How are you miracling a card in your main phase with the mana from mana drain? Come on, read the cards.
