And some more cards... Terminus: Hell yes. Lingering Souls: Good. Gifts Ungiven: Wow. This set is amazing. Scavenging Ooze: Good. Blood Moon: Well, I know it's been reprinted a lot already, but there just seems to be a lot of demand for it. Voice of Resurgence: Another excellent card. Fiery...

What I mean is that combat damage cannot "resolve" because it no longer goes on the stack. That was Sixth Edition rules.

Stoneforge Mystic, search Skinwing, play Skinwing, done. Spiderman: 18 Poison: 0 Hand: 4 Library: 48 Battlefield: (U,U,U,U) Forest x4 (U) Viridian Corrupter (2/2; Infect; When ~ ETB, destroy target artifact) (U) Insect creature token (1/1; Infect.) (U) Insect creature token (1/1; Infect.)...

Look, I miss damage on the stack too, but you've got to let it go already.

I mean, it should tank. Not that I'm some big finance person. But just in comparison to prices on other cards, the only reason it's gone up as high as it has is that Planar Chaos had a low print run by today's standards. Generally, while there are cases where it being black makes it more...

Anything else? Or moving to combat damage?

One of my favorite SotF decks was a Legacy deck called Survival Elves. Here's a list: 4x Survival of the Fittest 1x Caller of the Claw 1x Spore Frog 1x Genesis 1x Wellwisher 1x Viridian Zealot 3x Llanowar Elves 3x Elvish Champion 3x Wren's Run Vanquisher 3x Quirion Ranger 4x Priest of Titania...

UUD, Attack with Porcelain Legionnnaire. Responses/blocks?

I mentioned three main Survival archetypes in early Legacy, but it's been so long that I forgot: there was one more! Red/Green Survival Advantage was a much more straightforward approach than these other decks. RGSA, as it was sometimes known, played like an aggro-control deck, with SofT...

And there she is! Liliana of the Veil: Yep, this set is now officially bonkers. Magma Jet: By the standards of Modern, this is not a bad burn spell. Burning-Tree Emissary: Not bad. Past in Flames: Don't think this one really needed a reprint, but it is a very, very powerful card. Falkenrath...

In my "Combo Breakfast" article, which just might be my favorite CPA article that I ever wrote, I talked about Full English Breakfast. I'll just copy and paste that, because I'm lazy efficient... Of course, by the time the deck made its way to Legacy, the toolbox had evolved. Anger was there...

And here are some more... Stony Silence: Good. Would have been nice in Standard right now, though. :p Abyssal Specter: I get that Hypnotic Specter isn't in Modern, but that doesn't mean the bad version of it is a good card to reprint. Linvala, Keeper of Silence: Very nice. Phantasmal Image: A...

Yeah, Counterspell.

UUD, Dread Statuary, done. Spiderman: 18 Poison: 0 Hand: 4 Library: 49 Battlefield: (U,U,U,U) Forest x4 (U) Viridian Corrupter (2/2; Infect; When ~ ETB, destroy target artifact) (U) Insect creature token (1/1; Infect.) Graveyard: Mutagenic Growth, Carrion Call Exile...

I've already mentioned ATS, the frontrunner in the early days of Legacy. Another strong Survival deck from the same era was Welder Survival. Goblin Welder should probably get its own thread in this series: it was once arguably the most well-regarded creature in all of Magic, a superstar in...

And here are some more... Deadeye Navigator: Yes! Great Whale's best friend. Bonfire of the Damned: Good. Could use a reprint. Might of Old Krosa: Sure. This is a good card for an uncommon slot. Grafdigger's Cage: Good. We could use more of these too. Temporal Mastery: Ha! The most...

Gogo War of Attrition topdeck... ...but again, not until I get home.

Before the messy brokenness of CPA Tribal Game #14 (oops), there was CPA Tribal Game #13. And while I'm biased in having won in the end, I think it was one of the coolest games I've seen here (some of the ones that I lost were pretty great too). I noticed that spirits were available as a tribe...

And here's some more... Wooly Thoctar: More random Alara Block stuff. Seems fine. Rhox War Monk: Actually a very solid card in the right deck. Sprouting Thrinax: Yep, Jund 'em out. Tower Gargoyle: Never really used this one. But they can't leave Esper out and it fits with the others...

Porcelain Legionnaire, equip Bonehoard to it, done. Spiderman: 18 Poison: 0 Hand: 3 Library: 50 Battlefield: (U,U,U,U) Forest x4 (U) Viridian Corrupter (2/2; Infect; When ~ ETB, destroy target artifact) (U) Insect (1/1; Infect.) Graveyard: Mutagenic Growth, Carrion Call Exile...
