Burn

[MacheteMable]

Anyway, back on topic.

I think vexing devil should become goblin guide. You really want to pressure them as much as possible and attach from different angles. Especially when facing miracles or Omnitell you really want to kill them as quick as possible. Ideally before they can Emrakul or countertop lock you since the lock in miracles is extremely effective against burn.

This is legacy. Nobody runs path. That is complete garbage in legacy. They run {swords to plowshares}

My bad. I don't play Legacy. xD

Not to be rude, but then why are you suggesting things on a legacy deck? :/

Because the difference between Legacy and Modern is not whether or not {Vexing Devil} is good. Besides that, I understand card evaluation and deck theory and am trying to constantly improve in those areas. If I was wrong somebody would correct me and I'd learn. I'm not overstepping my boundaries by commenting on a Legacy deck when I don't play Legacy. If I am, show it to me and I will stop doing so.

TL, DR: I know enough about magic to share my two cents on something. I'm not the end all be all just somebody trying to help and learn.

Knowing magic in general and knowing legacy are two different things. Card evaluation in modern and legacy is completely different. In legacy, you value card selection, efficieny, and utility a lot more than power when compared to modern or standard.

Hence why I said I'm still learning. And as I said, "the difference between Legacy and Modern isn't whether or not {Vexing Devil} is good" Was I wrong? Am I giving bad advice? Why do people have to give me flak about this? I'm just trying to be helpful.

I have actually run {path to exile} as a sideboard card. There are quite a few decks that run 0-2 basics so it's basically unconditional removal against those decks.

No one cares that you are trying to help. Without getting into the argument of 'if i know magic i know legacy', I think the point is you are giving advice then further on when someone says 'hang on, that isnt how it goes...' you say 'yeah, i dont really play legacy so my advice needs to be taken with a grain of salt'. Maybe in future give the disclaimer before the advice, or at the same time?

Who cares if he mentioned Path? He's right about {Vexing Devil}.

My point exactly. I didn't know path wasn't viable, and somebody even said it is semi-viable. I've learned. So get off my back.

I know this is outdated, but it is still a good read about burn
