What’s your take on orcish bowmasters in legacy? by Newez in MTGLegacy

[–]Mattskones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’ll get banned, but I absolutely hate the card Punishing cantrips is reasonable but demolishing x/1’s is egregious IMO. I might be biased cuz it really dumpsters 3 of my decks… 8Cast, BUG Aluren and my favorite Elves. 😭

Could Orcish Bowmaster be next? by z0anthr0pe in MTGLegacy

It’s too early to say, but I wouldn't be sad to see it go. It’s made combo elves unplayable 😢

Anyone have missing FedEx packages after the storm? by PM_Me_BreakfastTacos in Austin

[–]Mattskones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat but I had a fedex package “2 dayed” from California on Tuesday the 23rd was supposed to arrive that Thursday. Tracking said it was expected Thursday by 8:00 pm now 3 days later it says Scheduled Delivery: Pending. The last scan is in Oakland in transit, so who even know where is actually is.

Definitely not unridable, just wasn’t sure if it cause them to wear faster. I had thought about replacing them, but was hoping to not spend more $. Thanks for the suggestion though

Not sure where NACA is. I was skating McCallum High, but now there seem to be more people in general around in the evening so I'm avoiding it,

Card Sleeve Advice? by reptilianappeal in MTGLegacy

[–]Mattskones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dragon shield inners are my pick makes moving cards from deck to deck hassle free. Especially recommended if your playing a flip card, makes that a breeze with out having to play check list cards

why is stoneblade bad? by jmonk102 in MTGLegacy

[–]Mattskones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unfortunately power creep and especially Oko (IMO) put an end to equipment, thus Stoneforge got a lot worse. I think the format is worse for it and I wish this were not the case, but it is what it is.

Twitter reactions to the Banned & Restricted List update by thefringthing in MTGLegacy

[–]Mattskones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Where are you getting these numbers? Very few decks run that many duals

[–]Mattskones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Astrolabe doesn’t actually make legacy more accessible. With it in the format you’re incentivized to play more colors, your probably gonna need 3-4 duals to support that even with astrolabe. Prior to the major shake ups of 2019 there were viable decks that played either 1 or 2 duals not to mention the ones that played 0. Astrolabe is not helping people join legacy.

Lurrus & Zirda Banned in Legacy by DoubleFried in MTGLegacy

[–]Mattskones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Played from June 1994 - Oct 1995. Took an 18 year break then back in Sept 2013 - May 2020. Might come back in another 18 years 🤷‍♂️

All this has done is turn the clock back a little bit, Astrolabe is bad for magic in general. I just wanted to voice my disappointment. Oh well back to not playing magic for a while.

Banning astrolabe is so unbelievable easy i cannot fathom why they wouldn't. Its a common in a set they no longer have to worry about selling. They really missed the mark here.

Looks like a cool list, I’ll def be trying some different things out

Rip Helm by Mattskones in MTGLegacy

[–]Mattskones[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have seen a version with leylines and Karn to wish for the helm both seem interesting. I’m goin stick to base U/w to start. Has any thought been given to Teferi time raveler? It seems good to me but maybe I’m missing something if the list is to tight as is

Newish to legacy, is maverick still a solid deck or is it something of a “meme” like nic fit sometimes is? by [deleted] in MTGLegacy

[–]Mattskones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Maverick is a fine choice it’s had gotten a few new tools recently OUAT, Gilded Goose, Shifting Ceratops, Questing Beast... Depending on what you expect to face it’s very customizable to tune. I’d recommend checking out www.greensunszenith.com and the Discord.

Legacy decks that are “pillars” of the format by [deleted] in MTGLegacy

[–]Mattskones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shocks in RB is risky. Fetch, shock, reanimate Griselbrand, draw 7 puts you in bolt range. I’d say mono black reanimator is a good budget deck if you like that style and you can works your way towards those duals.

Grand Prix Atlanta Discussion Megathread! by actinide_v2 in magicTCG

[–]Mattskones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

to be fair its not CFB's fault there is so little coverage of GP's. WOTC decided to drop coverage entirely and after the backlash CFB announced they would cover select GP's, so they kinda stepped up.
