No, you're right =) I forgot to Tag 'Casual Play' - sorry.
They have haste via Mimic Vat, but Thundermaw has it from the beginning =) oh, and a Kokusho token does hit the GY before evapourating, dealing 5 point of dmg to all players. I like that.
Thanks for the comment, Wicked =D

The ruby medallion does not reduce the buyback cost... There are cards for that though.

Hi Leoric2 - Yes, the buyback cost is *not* reduced, but the aforementioned cards makes it so that you cast Reiterate, then buyback it, to cast it, copying Seething Song, then buying it back, to cast it again --> Infinite Storm count with Reiterate =D

I'm not sure if the reiterate and seething song combo works because you can (to my knowledge) only pay that buyback cost once, and then reiterate bounces back AFTER spells resolve, so seething song would be gone before you could copy it again. I'm not entirely sure though

Hi ahelmer and thanks for the comment =)
I think that since Reiterate and Seething Song are instants, you use the stack to build up the Storm, but I'll definitely do some detective work on that.
I wouldn't like to advertise false statements.

Hey ahelmer =) I've been searching the web a bit, for an explantion for the infinte Storm combo - check it out here:

This dude uses Cloudkey instead, but its the same idea, you still have to pay for the spell, Grape Shot would cost {R}
The Reiterate + Seething does not give infinite Mana (!) - just infinite Storm =)

Sooo, I was wondering about this, does the new legend rule now pretty much ruin dragonstorm decks that use kokusho? Is bogarden hellkite now the way to go with probably karrthus?

Yup, haha, you´re quite right. On the brighter side of Things, Kokusho ( I think) will become much cheaper. At my shop I heard someone say that he´s going to be unbanned from EDH, but I´m not a 100% on that subject. Could be awesome, though =)

haha I thought so, but hey its not too horrible if theprice goes down, and makes people have to go another route with dragonstorm... haha granted bogarden hellkite really isnt another route, its more known than any other combo i know ha... he'd be a fun edh card if they allow it eventually

Hey Chew, what´s your take on Legacy as a Whole? (Sorry about the caps - I´m running a Danish keyboard setting and the spelling wizard keep doing stuff like that)

My take? I have mixed thoughts about it, mostly because it's the one format that gives you pretty much infinite room for originality in your deck, but when it comes to tournaments originality is far from what I see. If you name a color or colors I basically know what will probably be ran.

This is mostly due to how competitive the format is and you gotta be ready for the worst in the first few turns. I just wish more originality could be used in that area. This is the main reason I like modern alot more, I feel I can make a more original tournament modern deck than an original legacy tournament deck.

This is just my opinion of course but I'd love to see a legacy deck that would wow me, something that'll make me say I've never thought of that before.

Naturally legacy casual is a whole other story haha =p

Haha, thanks man =) I´ve only been to one tourney and 2 casual fnm´s (we weren´t enough Legacy players to start a touney) and I was dead in the Water, man, I tell ya'. The decks some of these Guys and Girls have... It´s a small fortune, luckily for me the store allows proxies, but that´s only for now. Sometime in the future it´ll get real messy.

Okay, I´ll name a color I haven´t seen in action yet

Black

Could you enlighten me? =)

Black from what I've seen if competitive goes alot with reanimate, the big combo to look out for is usually dark ritual, entomb, and reanimate/animate dead. With that it's a big ole mean Iona, emeria of the shield, or sheoldren, whispering one, blazing archon, or something like that depending on the deck they are facing.

Also I see alot of storm in black, mixing dark ritual, ad nauseam and all the zero drop artifacts, then tendrils of agony.

Black I mostly see reanimate with that combo if its going to be considered competitive.

I also see a TON of decks based around dark confidant

I took my Legacy Reanimate and got beaten to a pulp by a mono White Death and Taxes. 3-0-0 I had Iona out and my opponent drew a Karakas, GG
Dark Confidant is a Card I´m a bit reluctant to use. Don´t get me wrong, I see the enormous potential that it holds - greatness, at any cost, haha.
What do you think of Stax~ish decks in Legacy?

Tell you the truth I've seen alot of decks like that, but i don't know enough about them to really give valuable advice, I can see the horror they hold, but never seen it in play against anything haha, rough day with karakas haha, i woulda been pissed =p

Do you know much about standard?

Sadly, no. I think it´s a bit 'tightened' and highly expensive, I can´t afford it, so I stick to Legacy/Casua. But the dudes and dudettes at the shop are having a blast playing Standard (the shop doesn´t allow proxies in Stnd) and it can be fun to Watch =)

I generally stick away from it for that same reason, its expensive haha, but i recently dabbled in the area, it's what everyone around me plays and i was annoyed i never had standard decks to join in on
