    Well obviously this is something I'm going to want a playset of (actually, a few playsets of). Will the mana cost count as 0 or as 1? If it's 0, this is quite the boon to Ad Nauseam. Actually playing the spell decreases the depth to which Ad Nauseam can dig, but still, it improves speed and...

    Well, of course there's going to be more potential for that in a rotating format, but like I said, I don't know what the metagame looks like in Standard and haven't for some time. From what Ransac indicated, it sounds like it's pretty fast these days...

    I can't recall Legacy having "ebbed" thus far, but it's not all that old of a format and changes to that would effect it have been almost entirely limited to a growing cardpool with the release of new sets. The addition of new cards could make control decks stronger, slowing the format down...

    WWYT w/a twist II?

    Well, I was too busy with school to devise a proper category and the first thing that came to mind seemed like something that might throw people off anyway (we can all think of lots of video games, but how good are we at guessing which video games other people will think people will pick). Well...

    Yes, but that was part of something I was saying that wasn't limited to that, so I guess I miss your point? I know what I said was kind of vague, but when I said "debatable" I really did mean just that and not "no one knows." There's an important distinction between the two. One thing I can...

    WWYT w/a twist II?

    I have six responses so far, but there's definitely no way that I'll have time to add the points up today and possibly not tomorrow either. Soon though. If you haven't sent in answers yet, you should do so.

    "Rath's fast environment" is much slower than what recent sets have generally been providing. It's an exact copy of an existing card (one that was a powerhouse ever since it was printed) with one new ability and a single mana tacked onto its cost. It's not geared toward anything. It's just...

    I really like the concept. And I really hate the symbol. The colored backgrounds corresponding to the colors of mana look like crap. And what if someone is colorblind or the lighting is poor? I suppose you could always look at the text box to see the thing saying "X can be paid with either..."...

    Really, this has always varied. I remember before Legacy even existed, when some players in Vintage and the old 1.5 expressed the hope that the sets with the new card faces wouldn't introduce anything particularly valuable and that they could keep on using their decks consisting entirely of the...

    If your metagame is anything like what I've been seeing, Wasteland is so prevalent because almost every single deck uses nonbasics. It can be a problem for tempo (or a bigger problem if the opponent is using Wasteland alongside Crucible of Worlds in the right deck), but the advantage of immunity...

    Building a Madness deck.

    I once played U/G/r Madness in Legacy way back when. I can't find the decklist, though. It's blindingly fast, but a big part of that is Lion's Eye Diamond, and if you don't already have some of those, you're probably not interested in investing in them. LED can cast Arrogant Wurm by itself...

    Mono-black? Hm, I don't get it. The card doesn't say anything about anything bad happening if you cast a non-black spell. And this thing is an obvious shoe-in for B/U or B/W. You do use dual lands, right?

    I definitely have experienced something like that. However, in this specific case, and in the problem Shabbaman thinks it's indicative of (and if I understand him correctly, I agree with him entirely), there's more to it than that and nostalgia is not really the issue. Now, I can't pretend that...
