It's a great idea for people who just joined the game in the last 5 months to get beat down by Olivias and pigs because they haven't had access to the cards that can stop them? You're right -- that sounds awesome. (and by awesome I mean completely ridiculous)

I will continue to play standard on at least 2 nodes -- however I have 2 decks that won't stand up to legacy so I will have to make minor adjustments. I also enjoy standard.

You're right -- that sounds awesome. (and by awesome I mean completely ridiculous) I have no preference either way if HoR is legacy or not. I don't own Olivia or Pig or Omniscience or Deploy the Gatewatch. AKH Cycling beats all of those anyway. So if you don't have those "OP" mythic cards like me, you can play with even more OP cycle decks like me and still win.In general, I like having more legacy events. It is also good for d3go. If d3go wants us to continue to pay us$50 a card, having more events to play them in will encourage purchases.

Anything involving deploy or the pigliviarich triumvirate isn't fun. This will make the ogs happy, but we're losing numbers. Meh.

This is a card balance issue, of the type that papering over the cracks with the Standard/Legacy split obviously didn't solve.

Just a thought... what if some, not all, but what if some of these legacy events prohibited mythics and masterpieces as part of the building challenge. Seems to me that over the past year, the primary complaint about power creep sources from many of these earlier mythic releases. Can't see why such events couldn't work. @Ohboy did an experiment awhile back using no mythics, (or rares too if I remember correctly) to beat TotP in all colors and he did with resounding success. Pretty good thread from what remember.

That is a bit disappointing to hear. But then again, when did the forum ever not scream blue murder over any change? Drop number of events: scream blue murder. Drop Mythics as prizes for events: scream blue murder. Adding Standard events: scream blue murder. Introduced Jewels for elite packs: scream blue murder. Announced that dupes with be automatically converted to runes when (and if) Booster crafting comes out: scream blue murder. Making HoR Legacy: scream blue murder... You get the gist. lol.
Still though, a mythic/masterpiece-free legacy event, even if a minor one, would be fun IMHO. I'd even go so far as to say that Mythics as a prize for this category would be worthy. I can see why the Toxic elite wouldn't care for this, it doesn't "guarantee" them a top spot. Anyways, I do see your point @shteev People don't like change in here.
