Agree, the tempo cards are so powerful. It's going to take a much better deckbuilder than me to figure out a midrange deck that can hang with the Bant variants.

I tried to brew a BG colorless emerge deck around Mindbender and Decimator of Provinces. It just got shit on by Reflector Mage. Like most things. The BW angels looked good but I wonder if it's better than just going straight BW Control? Maybe shave/move Languish to the board and run Planar...

My LGS has a $1500 semi-annual Invitational I got into this coming Saturday. I have to pick one of these garbage decks. This sucks.

I didn't open any white cards so I got shit upon. Hard. My first round opponent BW had: Thalia, 2 Blessed Alliance, Ironclad Slayer and Choking Restraints. I didn't stay around long enough to congratulate him on his pending 3-0.

American Dream crumbling wha huh?

If anything will cause the Vintage/Legacy market to fail, its that fuckhead. Rofl. The reddit post where they worked up Craig Berry, The Harbinger and Martin Shkreli, the Markets Torn is A+ internet content.

I think the opposing position is that Vintage prices are on the rise because of scarcity, not because of the 'health' of the Vintage format. We know for a fact the prices on a few Legacy cards went thru the roof because of a sudden 'scarcity'.

I'm with Arbitrary, printing Daze at uncommon is what made EMA worth drafting.

And I think a_skeleton_03's point is that the demand for Legacy cards has a lot more to do with card speculators than it does with card players.

Oh and rules question for you Heylel. I cast Languish, opponent swallows it with Spell Queller. Opponent's end step, I Grasp of Darkness the dude. I can cast Languish during his endstep because of the leaves the battlefield trigger right? Is there something to look for in the wording of these...

Fucking Spell Queller? Are you shitting me? Spell Queller - 1WU Creature - Spirit (Rare) Flash Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, exile target spell with converted mana cost 4 or less. When ~ leaves the battlefield, the exiled card's owner may cast that card without paying its mana...

Crazy sure, but Beta Bolts arefucking sweet. They're so dark and rich they look like they were printed with vampire blood.

Maybe in the sideboard of Bant CoCo? They can't really cut maindeck creature count. She's weird enough that I have 0 idea how she will play in the real world.

So I have Harness the Storm in play and Take Inventory in the graveyard. I cast Take Inventory from hand, Harness triggers, cast the card from the graveyard. The one in the graveyard moves to the stack right? I end up drawing 3?

You mad?

Tireless Tracker gets played in Legacy? That makes me happy.

Humans in standard plays zero 3 drop creatures. I like the First Strike she has and it combos well with buffs like Always Watching and Gryff's Boon, but she's still small and legendary so sweepers get her like every other dork in the deck. Bant Humans I guess she's a tool but I don't know what...

I'd argue that winning with Infect doesn't necessarily correlate to skill. Trolling. I do agree with the complexity issue for the older cards. That'd be the appeal to me to play Modern/Legacy, you get rewarded for sitting on 1 deck and really learning and tweaking it.

I'm surprised to find the werewolf is so bad since they made the Gitrog a playable 2 color legend. Also, lol that Legacy is too hard. Legacy isn't a mainstream format because you can't get the cards to make it hit a critical mass of players. I've been playing long enough to know that if...

When Spikes turn Vorthos.

Make sure there is ammo in your gun.

The point here is that Hollywood pumps out shit movies all day every day but you don't get the blowback unless it's an "institution" like Ghostbusters rofl. Stay small, friends.

I drafted EMA yesterday and had similar experience to Kuro. Lots of younger dudes who had never seen most of the cards in the set. I opened Wrath of God and got passed Balance. Pack 3 I bought out: Cabal Therapy, Sneak Attack and foil Top so I didn't really care how the rest of the draft went...

There are a few other CCG type games like Netrunner that have a weirder distribution model. I had some friends that are always telling me to try it but we always just end up playing MtG instead.

I was spamming Roadhog last night and I think twice I hooked someone and the reel in part of the animation put him out of my LOS to my left. Is that the flipside of when I dodge an enemy Roadhog hook around a corner and it still lands and drags me in?

Spanking eh? Fuck it I'm convinced. There is no equality.

My point is more don't use the Founding Fathers in your bullet point. You asked for them to be refuted and turns out it was trivial.

The Founding Fathers were all about equality of opportunity.* *Except for slaves.

Wat, lol.

Here Jait, I did the research for you. 'After defeating Sonny Liston by a technical knockout in a controversial heavyweight title fight, Ali would join the Nation of Islam, whose doctrines of racial separation deviate from orthodox Islam. But he would later convert to mainstream Sunni Islam...

Pack it in for potg parodies:

Drtyrm#1350 Volskaya Defense must win near 75% of games right?

The hottest of takes.

I drafted SoI on Friday and got a good one. P1P1 Declaration in Stone, p2 Topplegeist, p3 Thraben Inspector. I start looking for green to pair but have to grab blue. Pack 2 and pack 3 I nab Manic Scribes. I end up going 2-1 in matches, I win all 5 games via mill.

Is the print run being so limited a valid complaint? I know Sterling works a store, maybe he can comment.

ITT: WotC puts together a really good selection of reprints and folks continue to cry.

Have you drafted UG Clues in SoI yet? It must be right up your alley.

They put in Worldgorger/Animate Dead. Respect.

Call of the Wild smells a lot like Mysterious Challenger to me. Single card with huge mana savings that is non-Legendary so turns out to be a little too consistent. Call gets you 4/2, 2/4, 4/4 for 10/10 in stats? Edit: Oops you get 2 more power from Leokk.

We've had this discussion before but the frequency and quality of legacy events in your area is also a big barrier for folks, even beyond the pricing.
