Good game. Now I guess I'd better hope you don't also draw an early Leap! :eek:

Cast another Bone Splinters, sacrificing Eldrazi Scion and targeting your Elemental token. Swing with Hangarback Walker for 3?

There is a point in all of this, which I'd planned on when I started the thread. Took me long enough to get to it, but whatever... I admitted at the outset that Tolarian Academy was a mistake. I actually went a step further than that. When it comes to broken cards, Tolarian Academy isn't just...

Tolarian Academy has been something of a fixture in Vintage this whole time. Much like Sol Ring or the original Moxen, it is a kind of hyperefficient mana source, so restricting it doesn't really stop it from appearing in decks. In Vintage, most optimal decks run several cheap artifacts, so...

UUD, Blisterpod, Bone Splinters sacrificing Blisterpod and targeting Young Pyromancer. Responses?

Yeah, guess I'd better. Sac Rot Shambler to Evolutionary Leap, reveal Swamp, Swamp, Evolving Wilds, Blisterpod, put Blisterpod into my hand.

Uh, if I sac the Shambler to Evolutionary Leap, you don't get to scry... :confused:

Done. Spidey: 2 Hand: 2 Library: 42 Battlefield: (T,T,T) Mt x3 (T,T,U) Island x3 (T) Izzet Guildgate (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add U or R to my mana pool) Graveyard: Divination, Lightning Strike, Magma Jet, Guttersnipe, Anger of the Gods, Spellheart Chimera, Young Pyromancer, Flames of the...

That's 4. Cast Rot Shambler, sac an Eldrazi Scion for mana, bottom the card from the scry and put a +1/+1 counter on Rot Shambler, sac an Eldrazi Scion for mana, scry...what's this? Hm... ...leave the card on top and put a counter on Rot Shambler, sac Catacomb Sifter to Evolutionary Leap and...

For future generations, OK mostly just me, you might be wondering, "Why was Oversoul such a dumb, dumb dummy? The answer is a little weird. First off, I vaguely recalled (correctly?) that I didn't want to Evolutionary Leap away the top card of my library, but I couldn't remember what it was. And...

I've mostly talked about decks with four copies of Tolarian Academy. Of course, for most of the game's history, the card has been confined to environments where it is restricted. Academy is banned in EDH, but is available as a singleton in Vintage and in some other Highlander formats. Lately...

Woo hoo, I won another game. Against Grixis Time Vault. Again. :rolleyes: Played a single game of Canadian Highlander after the M19 prerelease yesterday. It got very grindy and I had him down to 3 life, but he was able to get Tasigur and Keranos, to keep me from having attackers to force the...

Take it.

New article submitted about Gitaxian Probe. I think I managed to keep it from running on too long, even! :D

:eek: It resolves.

I guess my Sultai Emissary got duplicated at some point. I have two in Exile, none on the Battlefield. Assuming that fact doesn't change anything... In response, I'll sac a targeted Scion to Evolutionary Leap (scry and leave the card on top), reveal Rot Shambler and put it into my hand, sac...

Phyrexian mana was definitely a mistake. But Legacy is a format full of mistakes. That's the point. The only mistakes I want banned from Legacy are the ones that are so over-the-top that they'd take over the format. And really, there are still some cards currently on the banned list, which have...

It's hard enough to predict what the shakeup will be when one card is banned, let alone two cards (unless you're psychic, like the people who make these decisions apparently think they are). So while I really don't know, my first instinct is that B/R Reanimator isn't in danger for now. It...

Well, there it is. These are garbage changes, poorly thought out, born of ignorance and illogical conflation. I hate these changes. They are stupid and bad. Annoyingly enough, these changes will probably improve the format.

I'm currently running a copy of Tolarian Academy in my Canadian Highlander "Colored Spells are for Nerds" deck. The card does cost a point in that format, but it is legal. The point assignments in Canlander are somewhat arcane, with some cards being moved up or down in points based on the...
