So if these are legit, with the combination of The Eldrazi leaving standard and a two mana Pithing Needle, do they unban Marvel post-rotation? (FYI I don't have a horse in the matter, just a curiosity question)
Reanimator is probably Burn's worst matchup. Something like 80-20 G1 and 65-35 postboard. There's not much we can do against T1 Griselbrand, not to mention Iona.
If you want to have a chance, you need to devote at least 4 slots in the SB to it. I prefer Faerie Macabre, but you might prefer Leyline of the Void instead. Or you could just ignore the matchup and hope to dodge it, given that it's still unfavourable post-board.
This list came from the European Legacy Championships a month or so ago (obviously before Top ban and Amonkhet)
Do we dedicate at least 2-3 slots now to turn one (or even turn zero with Leyline of the Void)graveyard hate then? If reanimator does get a lion's share of the now defunct Miracles, portion we ought to be ready despite taking a turn off because we cannot beat reanimated Iona turn one or two.
So, with Top (and probably Miracles with it) gone out of Legacy, are we able to take out Firecrafts from the board in favor of something else (since Show and Tell as well as Reanimator are probably going to be the big gainers in new Legacy?
this was the first card that stuck out at me...figured this would be great for any mono-green stompy/elves strategy in pauper.
