"Theros will be an enchantment block that plays off building blocks in M14."

They could make it the block of "people forcibly shitting down your throat" and I will still be happy as long as they put thoughtseize in it.

I believe reading Maro talking about new card templates, so here we go, I guess?

Anything that lets me get my hands on Thoughtseize is okay in my book. Didn't want to have to spend ridiculous amounts for a playset for Smallpox.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

If the set symbol on the hero cards is legit, Theros's symbol is one of the coolest since Shadowmoor.

To be fair, Shea, you do hate everything. That's not related to this, specifically, but it deserves to be pointed out.

Oh no, I got that you were joking(or making a protracted reference to miracles--something I know you hate). Doesn't change the truth of my statement.

http://magiccards.info/query?q=!Rakdos+Pit+Dragon -> the only dragon in original Dragon Stompy. Dragon Stompy was a trinisphere-Moon aggro control deck that killed with ArcSlogger, Pit Dragon and Tauren Mauler.

I think it has werewolf flip guys and Thundermaw Hellkite in it now.


Also yeah I'd have to test with someone on lackey to see if I even like Legacy as a format after seeing what's been placing in the SCG tourney's.Seems like a bunch of tempo decks. UWR Delver, RUG Delver, Shardless BUG, BUG Delver. Good Creatures + force and Daze.dec seems to be every deck. And the combo decks seem super fucking boring now. Omni-Tell. I see some Tendrils which is decent, but no dredge(which I know that's a lightning in a bottle deck), no belcher, No High tide, no elves, No reanimator, no cephalid breakfast.

It's seems like all these major Legacy tournaments is like, Tempo and Deathblade wins, sometimes Tendrils or a Show deck sneaks in, no aggro ever.

Also, what every happened to those old Dark Depths-Vampire hexmage decks from extended, not strong enough for Legacy? Especially when it incorporated the Thopter Foundry combo it seemed liek that was a deck that had some serious potential for Legacy.

I think it just ends up being a less consistent combo deck than ANT/SneakShow/OmniTell, and slower than something like TinFins. I watched a pretty decent looking Tezzeret list the other week.

Your intervention is neither pertinent, nor desirable. I'm curious what Shea is referring to.

Mainly I was making fun of the propensity of magic players to complain when they really don't even know what they're complaining about.
