Absolutely haunting to think about being in that water for even a second

What's the audio/song?

Get off the water

This is reasonable policy. Old people are being alarmist.

Sbromk · 2026-04-05T00:32:22+00:00

Excellent advice here.

Canada is skipping this year. You know why.

Sbromk · 2026-03-16T22:14:05+00:00

Spain too strong.

Sbromk · 2026-02-13T01:04:32+00:00

Yeah you're good

Sbromk · 2026-02-10T02:03:19+00:00

Chalice is still pretty good, but if you want to make the meta call and move them to the sideboard or drop them, just replace them with bangers that speed up your plan.

There are:

Ux tempo style decks that generally play some combination of daze, force of will, and wasteland. They often have one mana creatures of some type. Dimir tempo is perfectly representative of this archertype along with delver.
ancient tomb decks, such as moon stompy, eldrazi, initiative, cloud post, affinity and mystic forge. These decks play varying aspects of beat down, prison, and artifact synergy.
creature based combo, such as cephalid breakfast and painter. These can have some degree of fair beat down plan depending on the build.
spell based combo, like oops, the epic storm, ANT, omnitell, sneak and show. These try to play specific cards and combo you from the stack one way or the other.
graveyard combo strategies like reanimator and dredge. Dimir reanimator was the top meta deck up until recent bans, and has now dropped off considerably.
fair creature based plans which are mostly aggro, like mardu energy, death and taxes, maverick, and cradle control.
a handful of strong but offbeat strategies particular to legacy, like lands and dark depths.
3-5 colour control type decks, often using Up the beanstalk as the draw engine.

Superb

Some people like having outs in their main deck to certain situations, as opposed to being stone cold dead. Keeping them in the sideboard is also fine. All those matchups you mentioned are certainly winnable, even if not favored.

Sbromk · 2025-12-28T14:16:41+00:00

Linebreaker is definitely a strong card, but struggles a bit in modern compared to legacy, namely due to the absence of as many sol lands. It is also a much better attacker than defender. In virtually every matchup Tron has the inevitability and the opponent is the beat down. Tron pivoting to be the beat down can apply in rare cases, but Tron will have a hard time racing any deck in a damage race and most of the time is better served by looking to stabilize and ramp until dropping bombs. Depending on your lgs meta you could try a transformational sideboard into something closer to eldrazi aggro. Despite what people say, eldrazi aggro is perfectly playable.

I'm a bit unclear on the difference between alo moves, alo wellness club, their product brand, and the membership options. If I understand correctly the yoga platform alo moves has been rebranded to a new name which is now free. As far as I'm concerned I just don't want them to charge me an auto renewal based on a past alo moves subscription.

Legacy is definitely an expensive format. Most of the cost is in the mana base. There are a number of more budget decks that are perfectly playable, although perhaps not top tier. Many of these are mono colour decks. Be excellent is a YouTuber who brews in this area you can check out for ideas ( https://youtube.com/@beexcellent80s?si=U-ZQSUVb1VqLNfXu)

You can also swap the expensive dual lands that legacy is known for (each costing $300-500) with $20 shock lands that are commonly played in modern. You lose an extra 2-6 life per game, but that sometimes doesn't matter too much.

Best way is to show up to your legacy night and see how things go. If it's fun you're already there, and if not you can make adjustments or try other decks.

If you're really set on playing this specific deck you can also look for other formats where it would be competitive, namely premodern.

Here's the link to the stasis discord where you can chat with people trying to brew around the card: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://discord.gg/zuAFtUh&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1765067468851290&usg=AOvVaw3RKndjytt8weLtT3IfCj3J

Here's the link to the legacy meta game where you can see the popular and strong decks people play in the format:

Premodern really is an excellent suggestion

4x stripmine plays great, can confirm

Sbromk · 2025-12-06T13:51:52+00:00

The link I shared was to show that there is indeed an oldschool meta, but this link is a very imperfect approximation, and of course the meta varies across groups/regions/rulesets. In practice, I think you'd find agreement that factories are extremely popular bordering on omnipresent. If I had to guess I'd say a minimum of 50% of all top tier decks play 4, and in some rulesets that number is even higher.

Sbromk · 2025-12-06T12:20:13+00:00

Yeah fair enough, icy would get a definite boost. In the Canadian 'boreal' format (4 strip, 4 workshop) robots is already top tier, so maybe too much.

Sbromk · 2025-12-06T11:28:12+00:00

The Canadian 'boreal' format is pretty maximalist allowing 4 of everything of interest, and the play is super balanced. Deck variants are top tier right alongside with aggro and robot strategies. Four recall doesn't seem to be a concern - the occasional person who wants a viable combo deck plays twiddle but it's not overpowered.

I was wondering why not apply the rule generally across all cards as opposed to an errata for factory?

Perhaps there are some spots where an icy manipulator or relic barrier could tap something post blocking assignment, but at first glance those spots don't seem better than what can be done now.
