(the word I think you want is 'echo', particularly to get across how your changes are going to interact with each other down the line) I have like an hour to kill so I'm gonna write a little here on Legacy mana, Wasteland, and what my cube's mana has felt like. I started with a design goal of...

The meta is evolving and even though Omnitell players will talk (your ear off) about how many complex and intricate lines there are it's still basically just another Show and Tell deck (that wins at instant speed). Wizards' track record with trying to make cards for Eternal formats isn't...

unless you run like zero four-drops compulsive research is going to always be amazing not even going into the decks that used to t3 compulsive research discarding Iona t4 Zombify

I do those First Pick Fridays on the cube subreddit (although tbh i should probably stop using reddit) and I've been able to get some really fun Gifts decks in more traditional and Grim Monolith cubes. Don't forget that you can fail to find more than two cards if you really want to play it into...

I go a little further than RbM does to support human tribal, also including a copy of Mayor of Avabruck and Gather the Townsfolk. (I run four Champions, two white and two black, centering the tribal theme in that colour pair) The other reason people over here tend to like human tribal is how...

ladies, ladies, you both put your bras on one leg at a time, there's no need for all this fighting COUNTERPOINT: we all now have dual citizenship with Flavortown USA

hey i feel like it hits one- and three- colour decks hardest actually, my three-colour decks have lots of multi-colour spells so you get extra hits even if you ostensibly make the wrong choice. I don't really know though, gotta test it! Honored Hierarch Thinking more about this card and I have...

I've been telling new drafters "unreliable". Bricking on three lands is real, getting wasted throws you down to two, but you get to play a Big Dude (my fours are increasingly permanents or "affect the board", whatever that means this week) instead of Little Spells.

yes sparingly so very much yes. I'd recommend anyone interested in learning more about how Brainstorm works in Legacy check out this (heavily-cut-down) four-thousand-word AJ Sacher article, "Fishing Lessons - Pondering Brainstorm". It's a brief (yes, this is brief) attempt to deconstruct...

Legacy players, as a maxim, say that the brainstorm you don't cast is better than one you do. It's not like we're running 4x Force each, but it's still true, I think.

that people will draft

ahahaha, Tron (after a while i just went ahead and cast wrath after he tapped out) (pm me the next time any of you guys come to vancouver for a tournament or whatever i'll totally put you up)

Awesome choices, i'll post a few more tonight! But i'm sorry, this is the greatest match in the history of legacy, so amazing some guy watching translated all the commentary from Japanese to English: (tom ross is The Boss even before springsteen is)

magic broadcasting sucks, legacy broadcasting sucks more because it takes as a given you already play legacy and hate magic commentators. The format is so dense with decision points and basically everything matters all the time, but it rarely gets broken down live because you need to comment on...

I really want to add Persecute actually, what does it play like over there? How many cards does it usually hit, does it get run out turn four or in response to things, et cetera... Also the thoughtseize/brainstorm interaction is great and pretty common in Legacy, Magic's Most Elegant Format
