Thread: Magic the Gathering

Legacy isn't type 1, as far as I know. Type 1 is extended.

And I doubt you know what you're talking about, cause I've seen quite a few people win within two to three turns, on a consistent basis, and yes the truly devastating combos do, but there also some you can pull off with non restricted.

Fuck, I can win turn two in type two pretty easily with my black green deck. I've won turn 3 more times than I care to count.

And more often than that I've seen stasis and control decks lock the field so they might as well have won within as many turns as well.


Edit - I might be thinking of Vintage. I can never keep them straight.

Two or three turns does happen, I know that, it's turn 1 that is rare. I've done it once, but only once. (Tolarian Academy + Mirrodin worked well.)
Most of my competitive play was Mirrodin/Onslaught or Mirrodin/Kamigawa Type 2.

I don't know the current Standard; I stopped playing for the most part at the end of the Kamigawa block.

See I've never really heard them called"type" anything, except type 2

When did you start? I know they renamed them somewhere in late Mirrodin / early Kamigawa, I just never bothered to learn the new names since I was mostly playing standard and Limited (draft / sealed) at that point.

At the moment, with Shards coming out, I'm making my Type 2 to run Green,White,Red and a splash of Blue. At the pre-release it did surprisingly well, really enjoying the new spells they've added.

Ancestral Recall has always been better than Black Lotus
