bijschjdbcd legacy is incredibly interactive. its a high power level, but most decks don't auto lose or win in turn 1. In reality it's a three turn format. No need to randomly trash legacy.

Didn't trash it, I just dont enjoy it asmuch as Modern.

I love how he argued that this isn't Legacy, then linked a Legacy deck when this is in the Modern forum.

Flying spaghetti monster is just straight better in Modern Breach.

Alternatively, where the fuck have you seen Sneak and Show running Wasteland?

@ bijschjdbcd

Sounds like a solid plan.

This thread: Hilarious.

But seriously though, what format are we talking about?

Who cares what format this is about? Breach is hardly played anywhere to begin with. You're better off reanimating or just using a better card to get something big onto the field from your head...such as Sneak Attack and Show and Tell. And about Blightsteel Colossus, it doesn't win you the game as hard as noodles or the big demon man. Running it alongside the other two or in place of one makes the deck worse because you'll either have too many threats or not enough good ones, respectively.

Why is Through the Breach decks not viable? I mean, when having 5 mana, and 2 correct cards in hand, you can basically win the game? It seems like a good combo!

And the opponent's tapped out! (dont forget that)

tyforthevenom, whoops you can't path it. In blue i guess Whelming Wave, Cyclonic Rift overload or Upheaval

Personally, I don't like Through the Breach in modern as a spell, since every other deck packs the counters like no tomorrow it seems. But that aside, I too have wondered the same thing. I'm building Sneak n Show in legacy, and I was thinking of using him as a 9th threat to throw down (after the 4 GBs and 4 Big Noodles), just to test it. In modern I have the same question, but it seems like every deck has a few creatures to block with by then or are control-heavy (which is why I ultimately decided against using him in legacy, where those things are more prevalent/consistant). If your Breach deck wanted to run 9+ fatties, I wouldn't be opposed to using Blightsteel as one of them. You just run the risk of having too many fatties and not enough enablers, but it depends on how you build your deck.
