if we're going to unban enough cards that we're merely playing lovely legacy I'm out. I think the three in the OP are fine, but I think everything else on the banlist has pretty good reason for being there.

Jace is still really good. He wasn't "kept in check" by BBE at all during Standard, BBE was merely his equal sometimes.

Jace has fallen pretty hard in Legacy, at least.

Yeah he has a harder time in a format where the fundamental turn is much lower than his mana cost.

Right now I'm trying to fit Thopter Sword into Shouta Yasouka's 2014 Tezzeret list. I haven't been able to playtest it but I feel like Stony Silence absolutely murders it.

It only hits his fast mana/citadels and you have 6 duress effects after board / 4 main plus negates. It seems like you have enough ways to keep it from resolving until you drop a planeswalker and stop caring.

I can be available 8-12 california time in the evenings, or possibly in the mornings before 9am california time.

This weekend I might have time sunday or early saturday as well - I'm in the process of moving apartments and at some point on saturday I'll have about 9 things from IKEA show up at the new place that I'll need to put together and I won't have internet access there.

i can maybe do the morning, although it will be like 6am your time at the latest? i guess i might be able to do it like 8:30-9:30 am PST depending on how my morning at work goes.

e: i'll be in #mtgoon as gangsines while i can play

I'll be around 8:30-9:30. I'm only suggesting the mornings cuz it seems like we are incompatible in the evenings, I have evenings free too.

I take it 2-0.

Game 1 I t2 my singleton scavenging ooze and beat him down. I eat some manamorphoses when he's trying to go off, although I think I hosed up the timing. He makes a fuckton of mana but can't find the grapeshot and I swing lethal next turn.

Game 2 I hit a T2 Goyf that's a 4/5 thanks to mind scour and I get an ooze again, he abrupts it, but can't find what hes looking for and clock him.

I got to cast a BBE that didn't matter though :v:

I spent the weekend moving in and haven't set up my computer yet - let me know if you're available tonight and I can make it a priority when I get home, otherwise my next day is thursday evening or late tuesday due to some stuff I gotta take care of.

Ahh well here's how my life works right now: As of 10PM last night I'm working midnight-4PM tonight and again tomorrow night, which means the next 48 hours will be work, sleep, and literally nothing else. I'm taking my wife and my daughter to the local carnival thing/deathtrap/whatever it is Friday night. Maybe I can play around 11PM-midnight EST on Saturday? I think Sunday is free-ish too but I'd prefer Saturday night because my wife and I are both off Sunday.

I have to run the GF back to her place and run errands on Saturday but I should be able to be around late that night. I'll update you if I'm not available around that time. How late can you go on Saturday?

That sounds awful. I was waiting for you to post here. Honestly, I was pretty beat anyway. I worked way too many in hours in way too few days on way too little sleep and it all caught up with me last night. How does tonight look for you? My wife has to wake up early so she'll be going to sleep around 9/10 EST. I'll get on IRC then.

sounds good. I won't be available at all next week between travel for GenCon and GenCon itself.

2-1 me. game 1 steve draws cards that do things while I draw 10 lands and 4 inquisitions and flood to death while he digs 3-4 times.

game 2 I nut bob into liliana into bbe and his blood moon doesn't stop the beats because he draws bad.

game 3 I play around blood moon and his double relics keep my goyfs small forever but I continue to draw jundy gas and he is perpetually on the back foot until i run him down.

Dig is busted fyi

I lost because of it in the Vintage event. If you are paying mana for something, remember to crack fetches before or risk not being able to crack them at all.

That's how real magic works too

Except that it's an acceptable shortcut and no judge will ever hold you accountable for it.

Verbal shortcutting is allowed, yes, but literally if your opponent says "hey I am responding to the fetch" you have to back it up to before you cast the spell and activate the fetch first, which a judge will make you do.

Expecting a videogame version to understand verbal shortcuts is a bit unrealistic.

Like, i can tell my opponent "hey I'm gonna fetch a forest cast GSZ for 0 and get dryad arbor cool?" and then crack a misty and wind up with a GSZ missing from my hand and two new lands on the board (maybe even while my opponent is doing their draw step/main phase) but in terms of what happened via the actual rules I had to do those in a very specific sequential order with multiple shuffles.

Beat Lker 2-1. Game 3 he mulled to that many cards and I had the nuts to remove every critter he played on his pretty solid draws while also hitting him with a giant tarmogoyf, because I did not have to mull to 3.
