Your trophies with the best decks in Legacy (ie. with Delver or this) always feel so clinical. The end analysis of "Yep, Oko/Expressive Iteration/Grief destroyed people like it has been doing for the last six months" is always so funny to me.

A few months ago, psychic frog was in the first 5 card official spoiler by WOTC, the next night i remember specifically that i asked Phil of thraben u if the frog looked playable in legacy or just modern because it looked amazing to me, and he said it didnt look playable in either because legacy and modern were both just too powerful of formats. To this day its the only spoiler i have ever been right about, and im so glad because dimir is my favorite guild.

At 23:30 it's the move to waste their waste in upkeep. If that's a trade they want they can make it happen anyways, so if you don't trade wastelands it means either that's good for them or they are foolish, and then they also get to make that decision with more info once their draw step happens Or at least, not doing it seems to me like it basically has to involve hoping the opponent misplays

So, i kinda checked out of legacyfor a bit, what happened that legacy as a whole is suddenly as anti-grief as modern is? Grief has seemed like otherwise normal thouroughfare for legacy. Ripping two cards out of your opponents hand in a format where you can die turn 1 is fine yeah? Personally i think the troll is a bigger issue, its an arcum astrolabe that also puts a 6/5 super menace on your graveyaed for you to reanimate. Gives the deck defense against wasteland which was what got astrolabe banned, and all astrolabe could do to kill a player was get turned into a 3/3 elk.

So when it comes to what is acceptable or should be banned. I’m not gonna be upset if grief gets banned but why is grief the problem card and not reanimate? Seems to me that grief is very good but not crazy without reanimate but reanimate enables a lot of things. Edit: The format identity thing makes sense. It's not something I was thinking about as I don't actually play magic, (I used to with friends ~20+ years ago) I just occasionally watch videos.
@OmneAurumNon3 ай бұрын
It's pretty nuts in modern without reanimate. Besides, reanimate is a classic card that's been defining legacy for decades. It'd be pretty weird to ban an alpha card that has been powerful but basically balanced in legacy for decades just to make room for an MH card that causes problems in nearly every format it's legal in

@gius80683 ай бұрын
I agree with you that Reanimate is the most problematic card of the two in a vacuum, but when people play Legacy they expect to play with Reanimate, Brainstom, Wasteland etc. So banning reanimate would be the correct choice from a balance perspective but the wrong choice in terms of what makes Legacy a unique format with its own identity. If Reanimate, Wasteland or Brainstorm were MH cards people would be rightfully calling for bans! But the reason why people like Legacy is how these cards warp the format and produce unique play patterns that you don’t find in other formats, so they get to stay.
