Anyone messed around with W/r enchantment prison lately? I know it was popular with goons a while back. I got a couple blood moons and need to add another deck to my collection of loaner decks.

My greatest Show and Tell victory was the game I set up the greatest trap I have ever pulled off in a magic game. I'm not sure exactly how it went down but an early Cabal Therapy saw a Show and Tell and some targets. I kept taking his Grislebrand and other things — not his Show. After a string of cantriping and tutoring, he finally found another Show and Tell (I think there was an Intuition in there). Show and Tell resolves. He shows in Emrakul. I show in Sower of Temptation. Game two I get out of a Blood Moon lock by casting Murderous Redcap and then Birthing Pod into Acidic Slime on his Sneak Attack.

Oh OUT of a Blood Moon lock I didn't realize Pod saw Legacy play, that's neat.

Am I crazy for wanting to buy a couple of Badlands so I can play Dark Burn and B/R Reanimator?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOYSZSn7-jE is one of my favorites. And I'm biased because Greg is a local player, but drat did he just tear his way through SCG St Loius in 14. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VizIrGg1mx8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5SrlfWhmzU http://www.mtgcoverage.com/ will let you look up decks by name and player if you are looking for something sweet.

if you've never punted a game because you forgot Force of Will had an alternate casting cost of five mana, you havent played enough legacy imo

I mean, if it's between buying Badlands and paying rent, yeah sure but if you have the dollars to spend B/R Reanimator is super fun to play and is a deck that has a lot of different lines you can take. if you enjoy that sort of thing you'll like B/R Reanimator dark burn seems both bad and not fun

I basically have the whole deck, except the Badlands, and the Sires of Insanity. Are the Sires actually good? I have zero experience playing against or with them.

I've heard the sentiment that Goyf is bad now. What changed to make that so?

Shadow225 posted:I've heard the sentiment that Goyf is bad now. What changed to make that so? None of the decks that play it are good, it's slow, it's bad against Pyromancer, Swords, Eldrazi, Moat, Rest in Peace, Angler, etc. It still seems fine in modern though if you want to make a mistake and play a fair deck in modern.

So we've basically come full-circle back to the "no evasion, no way to protect itself, no value if it dies right away" reason people thought it was underwhelming when it first got spoiled?

Pretty much. 10 years later and it turns out they were right. It was never the best creature in any deck it was in but it filled the "giant idiot that kills them really fast" slot, except the decks that need that kind of thing have 1 mana 5/5s now. Between Angler and Deathrite, you're making a mistake if you're playing one of those decks and you're not playing black. Basically what I'm saying is Khans block ruined every format.

Sure, but we're also still on best value for the mana for what it asks of you. Tasigur is better in some regard, but he does ask more of you to play him on curve (2cmc) to compare to goyf. A 4/5 goyf still can't be ignored which is what most of his value ends up as, he demands an answer, which allows other more relevant threats to live. I win more games in modern with raging ravine than goyf in grindy matches because after dealing with goyf, bob and scooze they're out of gas.

Skyl3lazer posted:Shardless? Bug Delver? I don't think anyone plays BUG Delver because it's just a worse version of 4 color, and Shardless will never be a good deck to me. Elyv posted:lol Maybe at one point but that hasn't been true in at least 4 years. Delver/Mongoose has always been better in RUG Delver depending on the deck you were playing against, Delver/Confidant/Deathrite was almost always better in BUG. The only time Goyf was ever the best creature in my deck was in the RUG Delver mirrors. Edit: I guess Goyf is also the best top deck on a clear board when both players are on empty, but that's not a very common thing.
