I agree it's not the most fun, but it does pose a challenge. We are trying unsanctioned 10 proxy Legacy to help people and lure some folks in. Some decks 10 cards just isn't enough. I'm trying to build one now that has 12 cards from $100-300 each. It's daunting, but I'm trying.
Luckily Burn and Mono Black Reanimator can be made on the cheap. Death and Taxes isn't too awful.
Rising to a challenge is one of the most interesting parts of Legacy. Probe was my favorite blue card, but adapting to its ban has been an interesting experience that I am excited to be having, despite my love for the card.
I want to see what happens to Legacy about a month from now. I want to see what happens when the metagame "settles."
Good luck with getting into the format, because I am doing so on many other levels. Keep on keeping on, as they say.

Probe ban is a pain for my newly adopted deck. I built Belcher and boy does the probe ban slow it down.
Street Wraith performs a similar function but doesn't add to storm and doesn't sniff out counters. lol

Same here. I've been playing High Tide sporadically for ages and was just about to test out a new build with Probe. The banning makes life a bit more difficult. I can see how Phyrexian mana is a problem - Noxious Revival is sweet for my deck, as I don't even need to invest in Tropical Islands, since I never want to pay the cost anyway, but still, I feel like WotC is trying to kill all kinds of storm decks (perhaps all non-creature based combo decks) in all formats, no matter the cost.

My best deck to lend out alongside storm was manaless dredge. That deck loses a major factor in its consistency with the probe ban.
I don't think Wizards are trying to kill storm decks, I just think they are inadvertently lessening the options of decks budget players have access to. And THAT is how you kill a format like Legacy, unfortunately.
Does not really matter to me, though I find it curious banning a card because decks it appear in have a win rate of 55%? that seems basically 50/50.... how is that broken?
