Happy Friday, all!
I'd like to give my first #FF to @dr_jeebus! Oh wait, april fools. har har har, so funny.
People do seem to love his stuff on @quietspec, and i do enjoy it too, but man i can't stand the abrasive tweets....
Anyone who actually takes the time to click my #FF blog knows i'm always starting it off with the Limited Resource podcast crew, @marshallLRcast and @modogodot. Ryan was quieter than usual this week, but marshall always chimes in on the hot topics... Solid follows even if you aren't into limited. If you are, you should be listening to their cast weekly on MTGcast.com
Next is my favorite twitter-ite to troll of the week: @joshjmtg He puts up awesome constructed material at quietspeculation.com but his twitter rants are Menendian-esque. Which brings me great joy. I had a lot of fun trolling him this week, as he prophelatized the death of Legacy, and searches for solutions. While I admire his commitment, I feel its a lost cause. At this point, if it would take reprinting classic (reserved or otherwise) staples to save the format, then its simply not meant to be. His entire argument revolves around the idea that if SCG can't stock Legacy cards, they'll stop holding legacy opens. This may or may not be true. They would still have an awesome opportunity for them to BUY legacy cards, and they still overlap the event with the Draft Open, so even if the number in attendance subsided, i dont see those going anywhere. BUT, even if they did, it wouldn't mean the "death" of legacy. Legacy was around (in smaller #s) before SCG opens, and there's no reason it wouldn't simply return to the way it was. It wasn't dead, cards were reasonably priced, and those who wanted to play the format still had opportunities to play in big events. Maybe not everyweekend, but who says there has to be a 5k legacy event everyweekend? Expecting WotC to want to adjust their marketing strategies to prop up a format that is doing just fine, is a little extreme.
Anyhow, Josh posed the question to @mtgaaron if WotC still wants legacy to me "accessible" i dont know if there was a response. Regardless, Josh is a good follow, he's very opinionated, and you can listen to me trolling him. :-) good times.
