Hi, so my local store is now creating a new format where reserved list cards are banned.
I was wondering if there is a list of relevant cards on the reserved that generally see play in legacy (outside of the duals) and generally what deck it plays in.
If the banlist is going to be just anything on the reserved list, then the entire reserved list should be on the banlist, surely. Having to debate which card should be on and not is a bit weird, i'd imagine. I mean some cards like reset makes an entire deck and is not on the reserved list (and is quite pricey itself), whereas sedge troll is on the reserved list, and is kinda rubbish. This is the reserve list, but i don't wanna be dragged into a discussion about what is 'relevant' or not; since there are deck archetypes I'm not familiar with.

you'd be better off making a list of reserve list cards that see play in legacy.
Look at this list of complete crap. So much of the reserve list is just unplayable junk.
What's more, some of the reserve list is just bannned period in legacy (like black lotus or balance)
Basically once you add in the 10 duals, take out the reserve list cards so good they're banned in legacy, there isn't much else that's relevant.
I suppose tabernacle of PV is a decent hoser.
But what this stands for is the proposition that the reserve list isn't actually that big of a problem for legacy. It's the duals and thats about it.
Hmm,yea... Only the dual lands are relevant to the format. Or have very real potential to become relevant.
/sarcasm
I am certain I have missed some as well.
To the original poster, make certain your tournament organizer is aware that many reserved list cards are critical to the function of entire deck archetypes. And that cards not on the reserv3d list have ws high or higher secondary market values to many reserved list cards.
Creating a 'no reserved list' Legacy variant does not create a 'budget' alternative, but does needlessly cripple decks and homogenize the format.
It seems interesting, I feel the ban list is way-way too big and something is bound to slip. Not every reserve list card is worth over 100 dollars. Oath of Ghouls, Infernal Tribute and Grave Robbers... you can get all 3 of these cards for less then 5 dollars.
I wonder if the cardshop thought of using a 10 card proxy policy for the legacy format?
The shop can ban cards and still sanction the tournament as a "casual" event, but they cannot sanction if they allow proxies.
Wow. That's...unfortunate. Is that official WotC policy? Or whatever organization runs and sanctions MtG events.
WotC did unban Stoneforge Mystic recently, so it appears that their focus is in fixing Modern first and make it as strong as Legacy was a decade ago. That being said Legacy and Modern go hand in hand. It's already too popular and iconic to be left relegated next to Vintage. The problem may turn out to be not an issue of card pricing alone, but players just crying about Plainwalker points. The format is pretty much rigged as it is right now. Because it's better to play against 200 players instead of playing against 1,500, which is what Legacy tourneys used to draw at their peak. The Reserve list pretty keeps these oldies from having their rankings virtually wiped out. They're popular in their own tiny circuits obviously. But flaunting decks that are worth up to four grand each with complete knowledge that they're out of most players' price range is completely obscene, and clearly puts WotC in a very bad light. Because it's a well known open secret that these players are doing what they're doing.
