Well done, best legacy article I've read for a long time. Why does WotC ignore us?

Nice article perhaps you should have mentioned that the Jailer also hosses Rifter Decks by shutting down the triggered "when you cycle ~" abilities

Because Legacy and Vintage are eternal formats, they do not cycle, so we don't have to buy pack of cards every 3 months.

Corporately speaking, eternal formats are worse for the company then standard or even extended.

I was planning on making a shirt with a similar message, but I may end up using the image you created now instead

Just want to get the message across that Wizards of the Coast never fails to make the worst decisions.

No, you don't need a sac outlet. You Flash in Hulk, choose not to pay the difference, Hulk dies, you go fetch 4 Disciples and your slew of artifact creatures and put them into play. Shifting Wall/Marauder die, being that they are 0/0, and each trigger Disciple for an absurd amount of life loss to you. Without ever getting priority. Why do you need Atog or Ravager again?

I guess this means 4 Leyline of the Void in the SB will be in demand, right?

Leyline on Turn 0 and that will buy you several turns until you figure out how to deal with them.

Is Future Sight even legal for Columbus, it starts on the 19th, the day before it becomes legal.

I see I was beaten to the post. Thank goodness it isn't, because I wouldn't even play in the event if it was. (I live in Ohio, so it's not far)

I know of a couple of people who quit legacy just because of Hulk-flash. I'm done with the format after the 20th, myself. You're 100% on target, Nightmare.

Come on guys you have to give these absurd decks one tournament. That way when the format is better again, you can look back and say those old days were crazy. Surely Flash will be errated again or more than likely banned. Do you guys think it will be restricted in T1? The deck is crazy still, it would just have to find a replacement for Mystical tutors 2-4.
