As was emphasized all those years ago when WotC first introduced the Modern format as an experiment, the starting point is arbitrary. There's no objectively perfect answer, and different points would have their own strengths and weaknesses. As a Legacy enthusiast, perhaps my "I want to play with...

Yep, looks that way.

Your Talisman of Obsidian automatically works if you're adjacent to him.

-Throg's movement remains afflicted by paralysis. -Revaethan's movement remains afflicted by paralysis. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz heals him (17/21 Wounds). -Dorgath throws Flash Powder. Everyone in the party gets +1 Attacks this turn. -Ty takes a hit from a Heal-Itt Potion (13/15 Wounds)...

I haven't forgotten about this, but I still don't have a decklist ready. Here's what I'm looking at for now. Need to trim it down and refine it... 1x Abyssal Gatekeeper 1x Academy Rector 1x Academy Ruins 1x Acquire 1x All Is Dust 1x Anguished Unmaking 1x Animate Dead 1x Arcane Denial 1x Arcane...

EOT use Evolving Wilds to fetch Forest. UUD, Forest, Strangleroot Geist, attack with it. Blockers?

Recently, I had a conversation in which someone thought the cutoff for Modern was, at least roughly, around the time that Magic design became "reasonable." I pointed out that the first Modern-legal expansion contributes nine cards to the Modern Ban List. Regardless of whether those cards should...

Just yesterday, I corrected someone on something I've seen numerous times. Many players mistakenly refer to Modern as an Eternal format. This is understandable, as "eternal" is a word that means "unending" and one of the features of Modern is that the card pool never rotates, as Extended once...

I don't want to report extensively on individual tournaments. The information is out there, and that goes beyond what I'm trying to do here. Briefly, prominent Modern tournament decks have included... Urzatron (using the Urza lands to cast Eldrazi or big colorless planeswalkers) Past in Flames...

UUD, Evolving Wilds, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: 6 Library: 53 Battlefield: (T) Boros Guildgate (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add R or W to my mana pool) Graveyard: Exile: ================================================================================ Oversoul: 20 Hand: 7 Library: 52 Battlefield: (U)...

Heads it is!

Modern was created in 2011, but the story of its origins goes back much further. In 1997, the Constructed formats were Type 1 (Classic), Type 1.5 (Classic-Restricted), and Type 2 (Standard). Type 1.5 was just meant to serve as a powered-down version of Type 1, and it wasn't really that relevant...

I've said a lot about the ban list, and I don't want to overdo it. But before moving on, I want to make two further points... Although Modern is a very popular format, its Ban List has been a problem because players have lost faith in the format because of erratic decisions by WotC. Modern...

I've always suspected that the Modern Ban List was a bit messed up. But initially, I didn't have anything substantive to back it up. The recent development of unsanctioned "No Ban" tournaments has been informative. Such a concept would be completely impractical in Legacy. Every competitive...

As a kind of fan of Legacy for well over a dozen years now, I have a pretty good idea of what I want out of the format. That doesn't mean that I have 100% certainty regarding what should and shouldn't be banned in the format, let alone that others should agree with me at about it at all, but my...

Yeah, when I saw you suddenly go from having a 1/1 on the board to having a 5/5 and an 8/8, there was a moment of "Oh, well this is scary." But then I looked at your life total and my creatures and realized that the blockers had arrived a bit too late.

UUD, Boros Guildgate, attack with my whole team, using Fireheart Striker's ability to make Wolfir Silverheart unable to block this turn. So that's 4 from Champion, 3 from Boros Elite, 2 from Fireheart Striker, 1 from Doomed Traveler. Boros Charm to hit you for 4 more. Game?

And done for? :P
