Do you think Reality Shift will see play in legacy? specifically is it main deck able?

I don't know about legacy but I am testing it in vintage as it is a good answer to Blightsteel Colossus that is in color and may be helpful against oath decks

I am also going to say no. think about the control decks out there, they almost invariably play white, so Swords to Plowshares is better. also, if you think about the decks that would use it (essentially it would have to be mono blue) those decks are Merfolk, which definitely doesn't need it, and high tide, which is a combo deck, so it doesn't need it either.

Its certainly a good card...but I don't think its worth including over anything else that already exists.

But, only time will tell.

UR Delver could maybe, just maybe, use it. Maybe. Probably not.

It's hard to say because Pongify and Rapid Hybridization don't see play as-is. Both of them cost one mana less and giving your opponent a 3/3 instead of a 2/2 with morph might be better in the meta.

Reality Shifting a Tarmogoyf isn't ideal if they morph up a Delver of Secrets  Flip. They practically drew a card and 0-for-1'd you. Because of this, I'd rather give my opponent a 3/3 token than a face-down card. Especially when giving them the 3/3 costs one mana less.

It would have been nice if Reality Shift was an enchantment so it could get rid of Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. As it is, I'm not convinced it's better than just playing Swords to Plowshares, Lightning Bolt, Abrupt Decay, etc. etc.
