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

Too narrow for ~305 nonland slots. It's fine, I want it back at some point, but it felt like one of the less painful cuts. Might come back in for Seething Song eventually, i'm no charles babbage e: stream-of-consciousness'd a thing I'm at 3 wastelands right now. Assuming I fire 8mans, here's...

I like Sidisi as a playable d tutor but I've been thinking more and more about Priest, especially whenever I play a Reveillark deck. What a package that card is!

God I love these albums:

I've been thinking about a set of cuts to bring scrylands into the environment. 10 is fine main for now I think, I want the fetch/dual dynamic to have the redundancy 40 slots gives it. I think I want to go up another Wasteland, from 2 to 3 copies, just as another piece of the puzzle. Also...

I think I'm gonna play Counterspell and cut Daze for Misdirection. Wish me luck!

I've been having thoughts around these lines lately, to be honest - my previous patch included a few more multipurpose gold cards (four-ish per guild instead of three) to hold players to one splash instead of two. I haven't drafted since so I don't have data, but I think that it's going to lead...

I'd really rather do this with Unexpected Potential, wouldn't you?

draft Daretti, name him, cast him from the command zone while I'm not watching your game, have him tucked with Unexpectedly Absent, later fail to cast him with Abbot of Keral Keep's impulsive draw. Elegant it ain't.

I want a counter at {U}{U} that isn't Counterspell. I've narrowed it down to three options: Deprive Counterbalance Redirect Where I'm at on each: Deprive is basically counterspell, but interesting enough to dull my misgivings about how carefully I've tried to sculpt my counters suite. It...
