The Banning of the Ages

Hello folks! If you’re reading this then you may or may not be totally aware of what has happened today in the Legacy format. That’s right. Deathrite Shaman and Gitaxian Probe have been banned in Legacy. For quite a while I’ve been of the mind that these cards should be removed from the format. Deathrite Shaman has proven to be a real problem with reducing diversity in the format to the point that there is simply no downside to playing DRS in any deck that supports it, which as it turns out is quite a lot. Deathrite’s power has always

Howdy folks! And welcome to another edition of Weatherlight Trek Volume III: The Search for Karn! Or rather, a little Legacy! It’s no surprise that is a truly amazing and silly card. For the next few articles we’re gonna take a look at decks that Karn probably goes in (including possibly revisiting Steel Men/Ravager Stompy w/ Karn), because the card is absolutely absurd on so many levels.
