Building out a cube, mid/large unpowered. Following a High Fantasy theme.
Trying to include all the spells that 'change' you as a player like Lich or Form of the Dragon, can anyone think of other examples?
I'm including stuff that fits that feel like Pyromancer's Gauntlet and Goggles, every 'book' I can find, etc. Any obvious ones I need to put in? TIA

Gross. The Grand Prix promo for 2017 is Progenitus, a <$10 card already available in multiple printings, including alt art foil, that only ever sees play as a 1-of anywhere (and it doesn't do that often, since Emrakul exists). And it's replacing Stoneforge in December, not January.

The art on the new Emrakul is nice, but even that has a first print that's readily available. i literally bought one today from a vendor for 25 bucks.
E Weekend is a goddamn blast. The old school event on Thursday had 86 players and was held in a brewpub. My buddy won the whole event plus the prize for most shitfaced player to complete the full 8 rounds. He barely made call time for vintage today and looked like death warmed over.
I got fantastically crushed early and dropped after 3 losses to play side events. Won a challenge event, and might do the 25k tomorrow. Switching from oath to shops helped a lot.

Legacy will always be dying a slow death so long as the reserved list is around to ensure the very limited nature of staples to the format aka Duals. Even if the reserved list went away I doubt legacy would make a strong rebound.

It'd take more than just the old duals at this point. Tabernacle is 1000$ still, enemy fetches are creeping up on 100$, force/waste/port are still insane, mox diamond is near 100$, who even fucking knows what lions eye is at this point, etc.
Maybe someday wotc will want the dollars and release an actually amazing eternal masters that fixes a bunch of that, but it feels a ways off yet.

Once SCG changed to clone GPs for their opens and killed sunday legacy they started the ticking clock on legacy. I know SCG isn't the only thing around getting legacy played on a large scale but it was still a nice constant that went away.

Yea was just talking about that. We won't see enemy fetches until at least after the battle lands are gone.
My one hope is they are in the next set already because design was working with the faster rotation in mind and the stretching it back out was a knee-jerk that wasn't planned and they wind up coming out anyway. 5 color standard lives!
