What did you say the strategy was?
I thought blood moon, a 3 cmc mana value card that wins the game was the worst thing holding legacy back but no, it is in fact brainstorm.

This reminds me: another thing I like about the new "mana value" terminology is that it shortens to MV, which is phonetically pleasing in a similar way to CMC.

I have extreme Stockholm syndrome for the new borders

When they first changed them I was like "this looks HORRIBLE"

Now I lowkey think the old borders look bad

It's because they're bad.

White card names are unreadable from any distance, blue aren't that much better.

They're a fuckin eyesore.

Amonkhet masterpieces at least gave us the comedy of Hazoret the Pervert, alpha frames just gave us an eyestrain.

They should probably go back to that since they can't manage to foil cards anymore without curling

I started in 95 in high school and I am now 41, and I have to say the new time shifted cards look gorgeous.

Printing technology seems to have moved on enough that the thin white text on the card names is now readable. The '93 era cards as already giving us eye strain in '95.

Also I really like the new snow frame. And the enchantment frame.

I am embarrassed to say that I started as a 9-year-old at some point in 96/97 came out but didn’t have anyone to play with so just looked at the cards in an obsessive way

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

There are still Thalids flapping around my parents house with my initials on them, but I was like 5 and my brothers just gave me some crappy commons. I was overjoyed.

My friends and I had a middle-school summer break tradition of spending a weekend constructing Thrulls vs Thallids from scratch and duking it out. Usually while watching Happy Gilmore VHS on repeat.
