I have a few old foil shocks.
And I had a fuck load of non-foil RTR shocks. Probably my favorite block, and I LOVED to show off my lands, but I sold like 30-40ish a few months before they rotated out.

Yea but Miracles doesn't use it. Miracles actually uses quite a lot of basics, like 5-6, so that they don't get facesmashed by Delver's wastelands's and random Blood Moon or Back to Basics.

Sur le fil, 12-year scotch, and a blank Word doc.
Fuck I've missed this feeling.

They use red occasionally. I give that often you don't see a lot of red in it unless they absolutely need to but i have seen some with 1 or 2

I even had like 4-5 Nightveil Specters, so I sold them all for about $70.
One or two were even promos I think...

Lol as a miracles player I don't want plateau, a basic mountain gets around wasteland and Karakas does broken things. Unlike my volc(s) plateau doesn't let me windmill a t2 counterbalance.

Other than that i guess you have punishing Naya and commander. Not sure if that does anything to the price

I can't wait until I get to play in paper with Top and Counterbalance, Favourite thing I have done in MTG to date.
I have Foiled Fountain and Foundry from RTR, And a slew of RTR Shocks, All the shocks I use in my modern decks are foiled or old arts, Which includes a Stompinga Breeding and a Blood Crypt as old art, Not to mention a playset of Old Vents.

Punishing naya kinda fell out with the rise of dark mavrick/punishing jund. Really the fact it's a dual land and prestigious is what keeps it at 55.

To be fair, Jeskai Stoneblade was using one for a bit, but Miracles always wants blue mana available and runs a ton of basics because Wasteland, sure, we want white mana too, but, we don't really have a timetable for it (i.e. we don't need two white on turn two), we just need to be able to miracle Terminus and eventually cast Entreat the Angels. The only time we expressly want red is if we're Pyroblasting something and we'll fetch that Mountain so we suddenly don't have a bunch of dead cards if a volc gets shipped to the bin, again, because Wasteland.

No junk maverick is just far less vulnerable to combo thanks to discard.
May 6, 2015 8:21 p.m.
I honestly thought Maverick was dead but one of my friends who plays Loam Pox keeps running into it at tournaments. It's like, one of the few decks that smashes his face in and it drives him nuts.

why aren't those lands siege rhinos yet? that should happen by turn 7...

Kyu: this may be my ignorance speaking but shouldn't rip make it just fine?
Gspot: settle down Satan

What does rip solve for pox against maverick other then the drs/lingering souls? It really hurts pox more by shutting off the loan engine.

VA: I think it's not so much Knight of the Reliquary getting huge that's the issue, as he has a lot of sac effects and removal. It's that his game plan revolves around mana denial and hand destruction. However, Maverick has Noble Hierarch and Birds of Paradise to get around the mana denial, and to use as alternate sac options. It also has Aven Mindcensor to stop Crop Rotation so he can't find his utility lands. Mangara of Corondor stops him from wining via Dark Depths, and so does Flickerwisp.
Mav is basically a Death and Taxes list... that's better vs. any lands control deck. And everything is usually instant speed cuz of AEther Vial.
To top it off, the deck has Tormod's Crypt in the sideboard, which completely screws with any Loam deck.
May 6, 2015 8:44 p.m.
Of course, all the lists are built a bit different, but those are some of their hate cards. While all this annoyance is going on, they are Stoneforge Mysticing for Swords or Jitte's or Batterskulls.

You guys should transition this to a Legacy thread. That forum desperately needs your love.

VampireArmy says... #30
The problem is i read it as your friend plays maverick and loses to pox.
Bad vision wins again
May 6, 2015 8:49 p.m.
Oh. Yea. No, haha, my friend is all about hand destruction and land destruction and being as grindy as possible. Serves him right to get his ass handed to him, imho.

The only way I'm jumping into legacy is if soneone gives me duals.
I will then play zombardment
I will however bring further discussion to the correct place
May 6, 2015 8:56 p.m.
If you want an inexpensive, though admittedly not very consistent, legacy deck, there is always Belcher. Plays one land... and tries to win turns 1 or 2 by flipping it's deck over.
May 6, 2015 9:02 p.m.
Then check out Fish. Not super budget, even for legacy, nor is it tier 1, but it's an aggro deck.
May 6, 2015 9:08 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #40
I know i know. There are options. Legacy is like the ocean compared to modern and i still feel like a pleb playing there. I will transition one day when I've got some non cockatrice based experience under my belt. Ideally some scg events or something

I'm talkin about my dreams as a player, not the format :(
May 6, 2015 9:13 p.m.
DERPLINGSUPREME says... #42
EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY EDH
it is best format. obvi.
you can play it like legacyish and be a dick, you can do modernish and have fun or wutevs, or you can play standardish and...not play edh, I guess.

Legacy is so funny, I watched a reanimator vs Sneak and Show, it was literally who can combo off first....
And then Iona fucked shit up.
