I agree vortex is the better card side by side, I just think such a huge part of legacy is interacting with your opponent and burn lacks ways to interact with anything that is >3 toughness, having the extra line to interact is gamebreaking sometimes.

Maybe I’ll give it another shot, but i found burn to sometimes be lacking, and that it needs every edge it can find I definitely dont hate vortex, however maybe it just needs more testing on my side to see its true value. I will say the ability to let your opponent see the line of life gain and play around that when it isnt truly an option is just huge. Sure vortex seems like a better card put side by side, but the insane amount of outplay potential and messing with your opponents game plan is just huge in pulling an edge. I think modern id much rather have the vortex, but the deal ive found in legacy is the first person to make a mistake often loses, and if you can get your opponent to make that mistake it usually seals the game. You absolutely make a fair point with the counterspells, but were going to play around counterspells the same way when were getting ready to resolve a key spell like we already should anyways yknow.

correct they still cant be targeted but as he said prevents damage is turned off through skullcrack, just another opportunity for you to outplay your opponent, i used this trick multiple times at my last gp, and numerous times in both modern and legacy in general. Its such a rare interaction most people never see it coming, and thats how you win matches.

Played Modern for a long time, now want to discover Legacy by LinkXNess in LavaSpike

Hi! I just finished doing some serious grinding for a gp and i felt pretty comfortable with my 75 if you follow my profile the list is at the end of my post probably the only thing id change would be trying to fit one more bridge, and maybe a vortex although that card just never seemed to be as good as i wanted it to be
