Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

Run a 1-of Triskaidekaphobia just because. If you're going to play standard, may as well play something even stupider than normal.
I would give you more grief, but the standard cardpool actually looks like it could support some entertaining decks right now. The Seasons Past/Dark Petition control lists are my kind of grindy and there are a couple potential combos in Pact/Offering and Triskaidekaphobia/Tree of Perdition. Still not interesting enough for me to play it but that's nothing new.

Weebo, did you see the sweet Oracle Opposition list that top 8'd at BOM Strasbourg? It didn't lose a match until the quarters. (Tournament Report Here.)

what kind of list did you end up with? That idea seems interesting
It looks something like this. There's a lot of weirdness, but early testing has been okay so far. I'm still trying to work out the best balance on the SB based on how much can realistically come in or out, and it's possible that it just needs to run one copy of Pick the Brain.

I saw that. It's bizarre and I like it a lot despite being confused about a couple of the card choices. I'm apparently not alone in wondering why there's only one Symbiote and I'm not convinced about Probe in a list like this, but it's clearly good enough to do well in a large event. Symbiote + Visionary/Oracle is a beautiful thing and I would think that keeping that going through removal would be worthwhile. That goes double with Opposition in there. Probe just seems too low impact and there's not a lot to capitalize on knowing your opponent's hand aside from Therapy, which is good enough without Probe. I'm tempted to try it out. I'd only need a couple Opposition and a couple Garruk out of the MD and mostly just the Thorns in the SB, which I should pick up sometime anyways (they just seem like a good candidate for a reprint in the next year or two).

I appreciate them. Assuming SnT is real, I'll grab those and Berserks if the price falls a little. I'm not in any particular hurry, but I'd like to have them available someday.
The new stuff is a lot more interesting. I preordered a set of Recruiter of the Guard before they got to $30/ea and I'll definitely grab some of the other stuff once the set drops. Something Maverick/DnT-y is looking pretty appealing.

what does everyone think of SCG having less legacy support now?
I'm in California. We haven't had SCG support for a while now. Opens have been infrequent enough that I forget about them even if I do have time to watch the streams. The only real loss is a regular source of paper decklists, but there are other people stepping up to run events like Tales of Adventure. I'm not exactly heartbroken over their changes.

I feel that I see enough legacy support in my part of Canada that legacy will still be on good shape, I dunno what to think as a whole but I duno if I should be worried
I'm irritated that SCG abandoned the west coast, not just Cali. But hey, NorCal has a hard time coming together for anything. I am sad to see that my easy Sundays of Legacy watching is gone, but Legacy hasn't disappeared. In fact, it's been picked up locally quite nicely. The quality of what SCG brings to the table is what I am disappointed by. It's missing and I'm jelly of the love on the East.

Yeah, SCG's arbitrary renames really cause a ton of confusion. I don't understand why they adhere to this "we'll rename everything" policy, when those renames are:
1. Often wrong and poorly checked.
2. Confusing to people entrenched in the format.
3. Cause players new to the format to not understand differences in archetypes.

I... may have found the line though. I'm at point where Qasali Ambusher is starting to look almost good in the context of a specific deck.
