From the poll everyone wants a more powerfull format. And why not, id play standard if i wanted a weak format. And modern will never be legacy lite, brainstorm, force of will, wasteland, daze, s word of plowshares are what really define that format, and we will never have those cards
he fact is that legacy has the same banned list since ages, and the modern one is changed each ban announcment
You mean like the last announcement when TC was banned in Legacy? Nice try.

I'm starting to think you guys have never met any legacy players outside of MTGS
I live in an area where the Legacy scene was huge pre Modern. Since Modern was introduced, there has not been a Legacy event to fire. All the legacy players left (like 6) argue quite often about what should be banned, and brainstorm comes up quite regularly. I have been playing the game for decades, I know many different players. Just because you dont see it or hear it, doesnt mean it isnt happening out in the real world. Hell at eternal weekend there was talk of what needed to be banned. So please dont say 'real' Legacy players dont talk about bans.
Srry, i meant here on the forum, the ban discussion not the list

if the modern players would spend half of their time testing tier 1 decks and how to beat them instead of whining on the forum, i think we would have the best format atm
maybe they are 1% podless/hatebears and 27% junk anyway the shell is the same, and saying 30% is not worriesome is like saying that 16% delver wasnt...uh i'm trolling again
i can't understand what you were hoping... Junk was predicted as the deck to beat, and it's been so. Ban a deck, another get better, you can't balance formats with bans/unbans, the cardpool is too limited. If they printed something, the situation would be a lot better, but again, they test only standard and limited, so the situation wont change. Still in for a Rhino ban, or worse, a goyf ban! see ya
So, Junk is at 16% at the moment, so if it will stay like that for the next 3 months it will deserve a ban, right? I mean, ur and pod got it, why bgx wouldn't? Would be unfair! And burn is 10% so that's 26% of the meta! So i think it deserves a preventive ban ala dig through time right?
Yea im trolling
Ok i've done the tournament, the deck has been really Nice, but i've been really bad while using it. So i need more practice. Ill make a little report:
Game1: 1-1 against twin. Lost the first One for mistakes, won the second One very easy! I was winning the third One too but he was such a slow player that we couldnt finish it.
Game2: 0-2 against junk. Both games i started to rock, took him to 6 and 3, but he drow 4 lingering souls and that was game. I had sultai charm, so 1 point for maelstrom
Game3: 1-2 against mono green ramp: i just did not care about this game, and i lost like a stupid!
Game4: 2-0 against ur storm. With all the discard it seems an easy match up. Counter from side finish the job.
Game5: 1-2 against hatebears: we played for fun, but i saw here some weakness of this deck: consistency. While you cast serum visions they cast big creatures and you stay behind the race.
So i'm really happy with the deck, never had graveyard problems, i allways had the right answers, but i need to test IT a lot. However naclmolecule was right, thoughtscour are enough for cantrips, i Made these changes:
-2 serum visions +1 duress +1 thoughtscour (ill still keep 2 serum for now)
-1 coursier + 1 ooze (never liked coursier anyway)
-1 darkblast +1 maelstrom pulse ( and planning to get up to 2)
-1 batterskull +2 kitchen finks
what you say is right, i think i'd do everything you say. 4 Thoughscour i think are enough atm to keep delve alive, but i wanna test serum visions, till now they allways helped me. Sultai charm is still in debate against maelstrom pulse, gonna test it. No flood atm, the lands are fine, serum visions help
Our lista are different but still similar ;)i thought about sidisi because i really like her, but the fact she dies to bolt is a heavy handicap. Ive been impressed with coursier too, it s really good and i love him
lands are all nie ideas, but i think they're just cute. And we have a problem, we need a lot o fetches for delve, i put in 9, but i think 10 would be better. With 2 creeping tar pit and 1 treetop village we already have manlands, and those are too usefull. I think the only land we can cut is tectonic edge, but i allways find it in 1x/2x too good

no offence, but many players like it, so it's really sad. Not to mention that's not healthy too.
edit: srry, it seems like they're playing now, but it's draft, when modern will show up?
Yea im trolling

btw its second ability is really strong in grindy games, if it doesnt get removed, when i casted him i won in the most of cases
