afaik it's only played in Imperial Painter and occasionally as a sideboard in URx decks. Also Blue Moon if that's still a thing

Zoness posted:Unrelated but in IRC we were talking what the earliest playable Reach creature was (not counting Woolly spider because that format was a joke) This really was the best standard ever. Two good but not oppressive combo decks, tons of control and aggro varieties, some really good stuff. Future Sight adding the first Dredge deck to the mix made it even more interesting, and TSP/LOR standard was almost as good. Good times.

Serious question, would there be interest in doing an old standard tournament/league on xmage? I feel like we could have a lot of fun with rav/tsp standard.

Ghost Quarter + Surgical Extraction seems like a hilarious way to kick Tron's rear end. Popping a single piece of Tron virtually eliminates any chance of them winning before you count to 50.

Turtlicious posted:Can I get some advice on my deck? I posted in the Brewhaus, but I wanted to get the General Opinion thread as well. This is for Magic Online, I want to start playing in a few of the tournaments and try to earn TiX or whatever. Pendelhaven is fantastic as a 1- or 2-of. Might of Old Krosa is great. It and Rancor are probably better than Giant Growth and Mutagenic Growth. Gitaxian Probe is excellent because it lets you know what your opponent is holding for removal and play around it. 16 creatures is probably a tad high.

Luck simply doesn't get you to top 8 at Grand Prix and SCG open/classic events, sorry. Merfolk is a deck that looks mediocre on paper but performs way better in actual games.

They're actually the color of the paper on the inside of the card, with blue being the color of the inside of actual Magic cards.

rabidsquid posted:I sincerely doubt Goyf would be a huge deal in a format without fetchlands. It was actually really good in Standard and an absolute nightmare in Block. LOR/MOR having a bunch of playable Tribal cards certainly helped, but it was good before that too. Then you had Extended where the premier blue control deck splashed green solely for Goyf because it was just that good.

I'm legit surprised that Praetor's Grasp hasn't been the latest victim of MTGFinance bullshit with how hugely it got buffed in EDH. It's essentially Demonic Tutor for anyone else's deck as long as you're running BoP or City of Brass or something.

Smokestack and Braids are terrible though. Even Contamination would only be borderline playable in Modern. Stasis, on the other hand...

Shadow225 posted:So, I haven't played competitive in a long time. I bought an Eye of Ugin for a Daretti EDH deck for $4 about a year ago. The dang thing is now worth $40 ish. Is is epected to eat a ban any time soon? Should I dump it now, or will it continue to increase in price? It's either getting banned or the deck will get shut down hard by metagame answers. Sell now, don't ever look back. JerryLee posted:I mean pretty much the whole problem is that you don't have to choose consistency over power level in any practically meaningful way anymore, unless you define power level solely as winning on turn 4 or earlier, but that means that cards like lotv, decay, goyf etc. aren't "powerful" which seems pretty silly. There were zero of any of those "powerful" cards in the Pro Tour top 8.

I think some of you are underestimating the impact that being able to make a 90% optimal deck for 25% of the price will have on the amount of people that play Legacy. Duals are the most easily substituted cards in most decks. Sure, your win percentage goes down, sometimes substantially, but when is the last time you've gone to an FNM or whatever where some people haven't played non-perfect decks? Everything else getting cheaper means a lot more casual-leaning players picking the format up to play with other similar players. Small shops will be able to run Legacy nights that get decent attendance. Will this make Legacy as popular as Modern or Standard? No. Will it make non-rich players able to compete in large tournaments? No. But it will do a hell of a lot for getting more players into Legacy at lower levels of play, assuming Wizards has learned something from the past two Masters sets and releases this in a way that does make non-reserved-list prices decrease.
