Does anyone play legacy anymore? Did everyone that played Legacy and didn't have entire playsets of force and duals just switch to Modern?

Well, I do, but i play dredge/belcher only, so i have the playset of LEDs required for degenerate combo. If i didnt, and was looking to buy in to legacy now, i'd honestly go to modern instead. price spikes has been stupid as hell.

So if one was interested in getting back into magic, and did not want to deal with Standard and didn't already have force/duals, then modern is the place to be? What is good in Modern? I know twin and birthing pod are weirdly gone. And apparently they just had to kill eye of ugin because eldrazi too good, but now whats goodm

Is thopter good?

Modern is pretty wide in terms of viability. Nahiri control decks is pretty strong, along with various aggro decks and such.

This may be the best Friday Nights stinger yet. Alison is incredible here, especially since, if you watched her during the pre-prerelease, she seems to be a very sweet person.

in the 2HG, my girlfriend and I got Hanweir Battlements and Hanweir Garrison as our promos, and then we got an Arlinn Kord in one of our packs; she piloted that deck while I played a controlling blue/black deck; game 1 we got to use Arlinn's front face +1 on Hanweir, the Writhing Township, and won handily. unfortunately, we never got either Arlinn or the Township in either of our other games; our second game, we got completely blown out by Emrakul, and game 3 was basically a mirror match with slightly different bombs that we ended up losing.

I didn't do too great in any of my prereleases, but I still had a great time; also, I ended up with two copies of Thalia, one of them foil, and a Gisela, so I got plenty of valuable things, and one really great story.

the only thing that sucks: in my second prerelease, I had both Thalia and Thalia's Lancers, but I never got the ultimate flavor win of searching my library for Thalia, because both games that I cast the Lancers, I already had Thalia either in my hand or on the battlefield. bummer.

Oh right! In EVERY single prerelease pool I opened, I had a Bruna. All three. In the 2HG prerelease, my partner even had a promo Bruna, so we played both.

I finally won a game day! Yay!!!

Did it with blue/black zombies. It's funny because I took that deck to a game day and went 0-4 just yesterday but today went 4-0. Just needed that little bit of tweaking I guess?
Looking for love in Alderaan places.

Congratulations!! The mat looks cool.

I went 0-3, then won because I had a bye, so decided to not sit around for another 3 hours and went home. :(
