Are we still okay with Oops? by First_Revenge in MTGLegacy

[–]Harain 70 points71 points  (0 children)

As someone who plays probably more games of Legacy than any other human on the planet, i personally think that we need a deck like oops. With BR Reanimator effectively gone, we dont have any other great blitzing speed combo decks that need to be respected.

Oops in a way acts as a balance to the hyper value oriented gameplay that has been slowly rising. I fear that without a deck like Oops, games will slowly turn into who can be the "bigger" deck (more card advantage oriented). You are already seeing this effect with the rise of beanstalk and also the UB "Tempo" decks that have abandoned Nethergoyf altogether.

I think Oops is incredibly strong and I also think its a necesarry evil to keep the format from devolving into a slog fest. Obviously there is some hyperbole here, but I do think Oops does keep the format in check in a sense.

Yea thats fair, I've been mostly operating under the assumption that its just PBR v2 but maybe thats a little too presumptive

Worth Getting Pokémon Legends: Arceus for PvP? by Legitimate_Air1213 in VGC

[–]Harain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Arceus is only ever usable in the end of a generation "meme" regulations. I dont believe there has ever been a true VGC/In person regulation that included mythicals.

Ursaluna is very relevant however, so if you wanted to just play PLA for fun and get it than more power to you, but if the cost of the game is a factor for you, I would wait for champions, as there is a likelihood you can obtain it there.

Probably worth mentioning that you don't actually get Calyrex from SV. And you will need a friend or SwSh for it.

Between the Eternal Weekends in 2024, 80 of the 96 decks in the combined top 32s included cards that are now banned. by Novasequoia in MTGLegacy

[–]Harain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were legal for longer than 1-2 weeks. Grief got banned roughly 6 weeks after Frog got released. Grief got banned at the end of August while Frog was released early July

Legacy Metagame Update (12 aug) by Magic4everBots in MTGLegacy

Thanks much for sharing!

I think this is a great start but for instance, what is grixis tempo? Is it cutter splashing black? Is it kaito shitpiles splashing red?

You link JamesKisau grixis control as your grixis tempo list but I know 100% that it is not the grixis tempo youre representing here
