Cool! Now back to your scheduled programming.

There's also Nim Deathmantle. More budget than Mimic Vat, but it'd keep recurring your rats as well.

Well, you sure can be very creative with how you look at the Commander banned list. It's just a recommended banned list, but if you go anywhere outside your own playgroup and don't stick to that list I think it's fair to expect to be punched in the face. I'm not in this game, but if I were I'd...

I do, but there's not much that requires my spam ;)

Mox Jet is banned in regular Commander. What are you guys using for deck construction rules?

There are enough ways for the budget player to build competitive decks, but I don't think the current standard is a good format to try that. The mythic rarity (and the associated power level of these cards) pretty much spoiled that. Other formats can be easier on your wallet. Out of curiosity...

Apparently UG madness players are just replacing Survival with Intuition and Entomb, they claim the deck is just as broken.

Well, if anyone has a spare set of Bazaars or a couple op LED's lying around...

It might fix the dominance of Survival, but that won't get you the "wide open metagame". It'd be the metagame I'd prefer though!

They did, and not even long ago: they banned Mystical Tutor after it showed up in half of the T8 of GP: Madrid. I see only a very small chance for Survival: if they see that they've made another mistake with a free spell. VV is comparable to Gush and the famous free spells from Urza block. It's...

Eh, I don't even understand what he's saying. Does he mean it's easier to get to top 16 with Survival than without? Well duh, it's the best deck! SCG opens have people play decks with poor matchups against the best deck (just check Jared Silva's latest article, in which he fails to conclude the...

Well, that's exactly the problem. I don't play Legacy because it's Extended. but because it's an Eternal format.

Dredge is basically a 1 card combo. But you have a good point. I hadn't looked at it that way, but although it's true that you only need Survival plus mana to start the combo it's also a combo that is very easily disruptable. The only reason I see that Survival wasn't already banned when it...

Crypt rats plus swarmyard, that is so very cool! You should add Scythe of the Wretched, that way you can recur your Crypt rats or steal their best creatures. But your deck would get a bit slower, it's more something if you go for a multiplayer deck. But then you could add Grave Pact to get...

Ransac, have you every played competitive Vintage? Your response is very logical, and I can't say you're not right. But you are looking at the format as if it were Extended. Wizards has shaped the Extended metagame to their liking, they didn't go this far with Vintage. After the creation of...

Sure, I can see why they'd want to interfere, but that doesn't make it right ;)

Because there's not actually changing much.

New cards are always fun, but this news is a bit stale. The only upside is that I could play tournaments with my EDH deck, yay. But I like how the format has grown, now it's actually possible to get opponents or deck advice. I think it's about two years ago that I posted a thread about it here...

The next b/r announcement is coming up, and it seems as if Surival of the Fittest is getting the axe. That makes me sad, as it is the reason I started playing Legacy in the first place. What makes it especially sad is that the card has no place in Vintage, so basically I'm screwed. I've also...

This may be the return for Gush Tog.
