Caleb (best non-Pro Tour content creator) with some fun Legacy ban list thought experiments.

http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/the-legacy-ban-list-what-should-change/

With the exception of killing wasteland, which I think is a bad idea because then the manabases have no constraining forces, I do like the notion of "kill all the existing T1 decks with major collateral damage and see what happens" as a concept.

I don't think it's good for legacy but it's fun to wonder if that brings Goblins or whatever bad pet deck that used to be good you like back into the meta.

I think they should make a format where the ban list is "literally every card over $10 TCG mid" and see what happens.

As soon as the format gets popular cards that are good in it will get more expensive and thus ban themselves out of play, then drop as a result, going in infinite cycles of rapid banlist changes.

It would be fun as gently caress but you'd basically have to build a new deck at least once a week.

Get on your phone during sideboarding and buy out your opponent's win-con on TCG.

And the Lord said, "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
They could use the idea of "claiming" from horse and car races. Basically, as a condition of entering the tournament, you agree to sell your deck for a fixed amount. At the end of the tournament, anyone can enforce that agreement and buy your deck from you, and you can buy anyone else's deck. There are quite a few practical hurdles to actually implementing this, but a $200 claim Legacy tournament would be interesting.

Having a way to draw cards and shut down flyers in the ramp deck seems cool. It's a bit awkward that it doesn't work with Shrine of the Forsaken Gods but that deck may be packing some extra colorless lands after OGW anyway.

How does it not work with Shrine?

Shrine makes 1 or 2(can only be spent on colorless) colorless mana, Endbringer is colorless, Endbringer costs colorless, Endbringer's abilities cost colorless.

I guess you can't activate it's draw ability off just a Shrine but that's probably not a huge loss anyway since you already have 7+ lands and I imagine a deck that's playing him is running more than just Shrines as colorless sources.

You can use a Hedron Archive to activate it though.

Some BuddyFight player threw a card over his shoulder and it hit me right below my eye. The gently caress is wrong with people? The store instantly told him to get out and banned him for a week. I'm so glad next Friday is Christmas, dealing with the riff-raf at my LGS has me on edge lately.

Terracrux in Tacoma usually runs their mid event as 2hg. Starts around 3 each day of prerelease weekend. Not sure if that is too far out of Seattle for you though.

I dunno. Blue and green have traditionally had the "untap each turn" ability, but rarely, and generally that's been the green side of it.

It definitely feels "weird" which is what they're going for with the eldrazi.

Weird would have been "untaps only on your opponent's untap step."

Heirloom is an online format that's basically that. No mythics above 1.50 tix, no rares above .50, no uncommons above 0.25, no commons above 0.13.

Most wpn stores that are advanced level get to run five flights. Usually one midnight one and two each weekend day of which the Sunday one is often 2hg. I would ask on magic the settling Facebook group as most of the store organizers hang out there.

Happy trees
So while drafting with friends at my place last night one of us opened an expedition misty rainforest. He's a generous soul and just wants to turn that into boosters to play more drafts at home with us. What's the best way to trade that for a box of the new set (once it comes out) and some amount of a box of this set?

Don't lose your gay


Don't trade it to the store. Try trading it with some people who frequent said store. Collectors will snatch up that opportunity ASAP and probably have an extra box of this set laying around anyway.

E: oh oops you drafted at home. That's a bit more difficult. Sell and buy unless you know people who want it. Up to you if you want to interact with LGS regulars/grognards :3:

There's an MTG selling thread on here, try in there. They do it a little less than TCG low most of the time, but that's still a ton better than buylist pricing.
