I suspect Infect will not care very much about life gain from Thopter/Sword.

Also I'm in. I'll probably jam Jund or something.

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.

I want to see if Jace will be kept in check by BBE like everyone says. Or if it would even be good.

We'll see. I'm taking my daughter for her 3 month checkup early afternoon and I probably have to go out and deal with car nonsense after that. Tomorrow night or Wednesday early afternoon might work? I haven't actually seen my wife for a week (she gets home from work and I leave for work within 15 minutes) so I think we're planning on going out one of those nights.

Gonna off until Wednesday so irv and suicidesteve can play

If fiend computer doesn't reply before then the winner is wildfire1

From that point on there will be a strict 1 week deadline

And again can I suggest we look at who's tried to make contact when giving out losses? It's getting pretty annoying that almost every match I've played in a goon league has involved me rescheduling my life after my opponent shows up a week into the round when people start asking for results. Somehow this always works out so that I'm either playing on 2 hours of sleep or my wife is at work and I'm trying to juggle a crying baby and play Wizard Cardboard because I don't have a reasonable time frame to schedule my match.

Edit: Not that I'm playing this round on 2 hours of sleep/with a crying baby, just to be clear. Not complaining about my current opponent outside of being a little late posting.

Anyway, 2/0 in some horrible, grindy games.

Edit 2: Huntmaster is a messed up card.

2/1 over Babylon Astronaut in some pretty good games. Game 1 I kinda ran him over with Clique and counters. Game 2 I mulled Island, Serum Visions, 5 spells, kept a bad 6 which was better than going to 5, drew 5 lands in a row, and got Choked with all my lands Islands which were tapped. Game 3 I missed land 3 for a few turns, but he got flooded. I had to tap low to get a 3-for-1 Pyroclasm to keep my life high and he landed a Choke which really threw a wrench in my plans. I'd played around it as best I could by fetching the one basic Forest my draw had allowed. His Urborg was pretty helpful with all the fetches I drew at least. Luckily he didn't have much going on after the Pyroclasm, so I took a few hits from his guy and eventually drew my 4th land so I could EOT Cryptic his Choke back to his hand, untap all my Islands, and have Snapcaster-Cryptic or Clique to get rid of the Choke. I took the Cryptic line, and then EOT Dug Through Time. Dig Through Time is a spectacularly stupid card, by the way. Dig got Dig and Cryptic, my next Dig got Dig and Snapcaster, and really what deck is coming back from that?

Playing my deck IRL and online recently and on here is like night and day. I've actually changed my mind about unbanning Dig. Thirst does an ok Dig impression but it's not the same at all. I actually do think if they ban Exarch/Twin Dig could come off the list. Not that they'd ever ban anything from Twin or make a non-Twin blue deck good.

Do we even have set rules for the timer? I can't remember what I have it set as, but I think my default is a little extra from when everyone was getting used to XMage for the Legacy tournament.

I'm pretty sure it was set to 50 which I think is as high as it goes. It might have been 40. Either way, it was looking kinda grim for him with a Clique beating down and him stuck at 2 lands.

1/2.

Game 1 I mull, hit land 3 on like, turn 4, land 4 a few turns later, and finally my 3rd blue a few turns after that, he flooded, and Dig is an absurd card.

Game 2 I got mana screwed and he had an insane draw.

Game 3 I should have mulled but kept 4 lands, Relic, EE, Blood Moon, and drew 4 or 5 more and never found any of my Bolts, counters, or creatures even after popping a Relic.

I remain unconvinced that this shuffler actually shuffles.

Because the Inkmoth gains Infect rather than just having it, Inkmoth can't actually do damage with Melira in play. The exception is if Melira comes into play after Inkmoth has already been animated like through Chord or something.
