it's like a cryptic command gold decks can cast!

Vestige of Emrakul (the eldrazi are formless beings from the Blind Eternities and prob. don't have a conception of gender but since Emeria, the kor goddess she inspired also gets female pronouns they carry over. mostly it is just fun to tell grognards this.)

jerkcity, chainsawsuit and SMBC are the only webcomics i read anymore.

I'm so stoked other people play this too. <3 <3 <3 it.

An efficient way for control or midrange players to convert resources at instant speed, between four types. I really do think Bow of Nylea does it better. (ps the four abilities are the four seasons i'm tired of people pretending they don't get it) e: the 4x Trading Post deck I played in...

I forgot to actually take my utility lands from Jason but this was still a pretty good deck. 1-2 I think? I only played one game my last match. the idea that people buy into and play legacy on mtgo is kind of astounding to me right now

It was a varied field, but I think I played fish my first two games. Single-colour decks, no splash, no real plan beyond aggro or 'kill dudes' My best cards were probably Library, Eternal Witness, Rolling Thunder and Bloodbraid in that order. Sabertooth was too mana-intensive and conditional...

Got a last-minute chance to play as a ringer in a MTGO peasant cube (i can debrief on this later if folks want), probably could've gone undefeated but I punted g2 of the finals for a clean 2-1, a.k.a. "on form" The games where I played against cards like Curse of Shallow Graves and Path felt...

Leyline only hits your opponents, it doesn't slow you down unless you're worried about having to cast it at four mana (by which point it may or may not matter anymore so i'd run at least 2). I used to play it in my Pox sideboard, too. Try the Haruspex, it can't be that bad, and might actually be...

Grim Haruspex isn't good enough for Legacy, I fear. A couple people in the Source Zombardment thread were running them so it's worth testing though! Fleshbag Marauder and prob. Mesmeric Fiend aren't playable either, but Fulminator Mage seems like a fit in the deck. Bringing it back with lili...

Magic Online with Digital Objects, now MTGO.

Here's one I'm unsure about: Skaab Ruinator vs. Illusory Angel They're both above-the-curve blue fliers for 3, but Illusory Angel is a lot easier to cast 'normally' (including on turn two with a Mox Diamond). They're also both great in a CoCo or Pod shell, but in the absence of a real...

Also, one of my favourite sideboards in Legacy belongs to some Belcher lists: 15x Revised Island the level of commitment it represents to the delicate machinery of your deck is outstanding; iirc one of the guys who started it did so because he wanted to resist his temptation to sideboard...

In like Flynn.

Legacy players tend to like Disfigure as an agnostic {B} kill spell too. I think Murderous Cut is better here though? You can't be sure that Dismember will even kill an Ooze, and it looks pretty sad against goyfs, too. 1-2 Surgical Extraction in the board (maybe over a Faerie Macabre?) will help...

I looked into current builds of The Gate (an old-school dark confidant/wasteland {B} aggro deck) and, after being astonished that they exist, found out they're running Abyssal Persecutor, Jitte, and Sadistic Sacrament in the sideboard. Also one guy for some reason had Mourning in his board, so...

Oh shoot, if you end up going with fetches and shocks, 4x deathrite would help against a couple of decks as well. Not a zombie, but certainly gives the deck reach against graveyard strats.

Do you like Disdainful Stroke? i always feel like i want it to be negate instead -the four-brainstorms UGb deck rules and having Whisperwood Elemental for beef/filtering is awesome -doesn't timely reinforcements just shit on aggro? Is it worth it? -how nice is Time Spiral to cast in the...

Run a one-of granddaddy Pox maybe? It's great and it puts in work but it's too situational and Smallpox is almost always live. The slower Pox lists actually like the big hit more because it translates to fewer turns of swinging in with a 2/2. I think you could drain for six or seven with Blood...

Cards I'd cut: You don't really need or want big Pox anymore unless you have a massive boner for doing modulo 3 calculations. Some people play one as a fifth Smallpox but I think that's probably outmoded and a mistake too. 1 Duress feels weird and I'd want IoK if it's just a non-Thoughtseize...
