Kinda hard to get worked up over a side event to be honest, granted I don't pay attention to attendance period (if people show up, I'll play) but still if it's a event that is more for fun than for serious competition whose going to care, also the superbowl
If you are going to run shocks and cards legal in Modern, why not just move over to Modern?
Preference, Legacy and Moderns meta is going to be different (one would hope anyways), some prefer a faster format, believe it or not, there is a lot of overlap between the two formats, but they play very differently, I personally prefer legacy to modern (partially because no one in my area really plays modern), as such if there ever were a time where I had to use shocks over duels, I would, I doubt that would happen (yes, every eternal player gets there is a cap, but neither vintage or legacy are popular enough for it to be a problem, least more so then already)
I wonder when you will get it through your head that duals are not the only staples on the reserved list for legacy/vintage.
Your right to a fault, there a lots of staples on the reserved list (Time spiral etc) but many are not widely used, either due to cost or unpractical, take the abyss, it's a powerful card but it's effect requires it to only go in a certain kind of deck, or candelabra of tawnos, there only two decks that can use it effectively, high tide and 12 post, the former I've mentioned before and the latter is TERRIBLE in legacy
I wonder when you will get it through your heads that the shocks are legal in legacy too....and are used by legacy players, people use Cloud of Faeries/Snap over Candelabra of Tawnos in high tide, is it optimal, no, does it work, yes, are shocks optimal no, do they work, yes, they require smarter/tighter play in legacy. Not reprinting (*insert X legacy staple*) because of the reserved list is dumb reasoning.
Without fow (and bs to search for it), I hear losing on turns 1-3 against combo is fun and nice. Then you put your sideboard hate but if you don't draw it in your opening 7 you're... doomed.
are you still mad that you got ran off because people said your wrong and could back it up, right now combo isn't doing so hot (tempo is the name of the game right now), heck the most popular deck is something called maverick which tends to be G/W or G/W/r, oh yeah you need to have hate, but didn't modern go through a period dominated by combo decks, just like *gasp* every eternal format does.
Wouldn't surprise me if they adjust their schedules to have all three(standard, legacy and modern), I doubt SCG will do anything to hurt legacy (tis their cash cow), heck if you play legacy, you probably have thought about/gone to a SCG event , my only guess is that this entire schedule was planned/scheduled well before modern was announced (setting up a large event takes time and effort), and they may want to wait a bit, let the perceived notion that the modern meta is in constant flux go away and set one up, modern is still relatively knew and as a format trying to find it's place (the notion that it's legacy-lite isn't that uncommon, least in my area where it's basically EDH>Standard>Legacy>Anything else>modern...bare in mind it's a lot of older players who don't like the regular formats), SCG may not want to expend resources setting it up, only for relatively little wanting to play it/buy singles for it.
