I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
I don't think so - he's good in Legacy but he's nowhere near oppressive. Of the big three decks of RUG Delver, Maverick, and Stoneblade/Miracles (two different decks, but a similar shell), only the latter of the three plays Mind Sculptor, and many viable tier 1.5-2 decks, including Elves, Goblins, Zombies, ANT/TES, High Tide, etc., neither need nor want the Mind Sculptor.
Heck, I'll go one step further and say that he's probably fine in Modern - with the biggest decks being Jund, Storm, and Affinity (or "Robots", if that's your thing), I don't think that JTMS would break the format; bend it, sure. But I hear Bloodbraid Elf into Lightning Bolt (or Maelstrom Pulse) makes Jace look pretty dumb when you tap out for it on turn 4. Modern has enough things to keep Jace in check, and I think it's a relatively safe unban, with the possible counterargument that there are people who are Standard regulars getting in to Modern who simply don't want to play against JTMS, merits of the metagame aside.

Because what Modern needs as a format is another giant barrier to entry.
Unless you mean they should reprint him too in some Modern Masters 2, with enough quantity to actually keep his price down so that the format doesn't become even more inaccessible.
Also, I don't really agree that he'd be fine in the format. Bloodbraid Elf is great, but Jund still isn't that great, and Jace in Modern could easily make things miserable given that he's quite powerful in Legacy. Maverick isn't really a top deck anymore (hasn't shown well in a couple of months) and the format is looking increasingly blue. Modern might very well go the same way with Jace legal.
In summation.....Star Trek wins a prolonged naval battle against superior, yet less technologically advanced, numbers, with Picard leading the assault, while Kirk takes your soul by laying out Solo and probably his manservant Chewy as well, before impregnating and ditching your Princess.
Over time, most likely. They've just killed the "MTGO Reserved List". It's a good thing, as MTGO really feels like it should be the "final" home of the format anyway.
I'm not really adept at finding historical stuff for MTGO, but how much is it possible for FOW to drop now that it will see a week of being opened likely? Really glad to see they did this as is does give me a chance to possibly open one and a dual and maybe build a deck online.

Isn`t this only for one week? Maybe a good time to pick up some staples if you need them as they will probably drop a fair amount, but will probably slowly creep back up again, like Goyf did.
I hope so, but I'll wait until Legacy Dailies start during off before I go into the format. I would much rather have a playset that's easy to move to each deck and not have to drive an hour or so to play against someone. Also makes testing easier.
Not to mention prices are so much cheaper and doesn't cause me to sell children online to make a competitive deck.
Arent there still cards missing from the legacy format on magic online, or did that get taken care of? Would be nice to see the legacy format on there become more popular.

Have played duals? I have PucaPoints for them!

It's taken 4 of the 6 finals slots over the past 3 major events. What do you consider "great"?
Current post- Grand Prix KC Modern Postmortem (7/7/13)
I think he considers Caw-Blade during standarad as great.
Have you seen the win percentages for it?
I'm not surprised it's made up a lot of the winners and top 8s because it's such a large slice of the metagame.

Is this going to make Legacy realistic on MODO?

On eBay? I still see Sea's costing more although the gap is narrowing
Where are you seeing this? TCGplayer is listing at $111 for tundras and $136 mids on U-Seas respectively. Ebay has a gap between the two as well.

Is Underground even the most used Dual anymore? I thought it should have been passed by some of the other U duals if we went by tournament results.
