<\/p>Welcome back! Today we’re capping off the week with a Legacy-centric tip, in honor of the Eternal Masters previews starting next week! Notion Thief<\/a> doesn’t see a TON of play in Legacy, but it can be absolutely backbreaking if you time it right. One such time is against Brainstorm, Legacy’s favorite one mana draw spell. Brainstorm<\/a> itself is simple enough- draw 3 cards, put 2 from your hand back (and then crack a fetch, obviously). Notion Thief<\/a> is simple enough, too- it steals card draws from your opponent. But how does it interact with Brainstorm specifically? Very poorly for your opponent! Instead of drawing 3 and putting two back, YOU will draw 3… but your opponent will still have to perform the rest of the actions of the spell and put 2 cards from their hand on top of their library! Notion Thief’s replacement effect only works on the card draw portion of Brainstorm, leaving you up 3 cards and your opponent down 2. Brutal.<\/p>\n
