RE: No removal. – Daru Stinger and Sparksmith are both great removal spells, and it is true that there are several good removal spells in Onslaught. However, remember that is a large set, and OLS is a large set, small set, small set format. Because of this, cards in Onslaught show up very irregularly. On top of this, large sets were created with more cards in those days, which meant that the cards in them became even rarer by the time the whole block was drafted together. Onslaught also has a higher percentage of creatures than most sets, so that you end up with less efficient removal. Finally, while Scourge has several removal spells, most of these are terribly inefficient.

RE: clearly from someone who read “Legions is all creatures.” I’m going to have to say that you are just dead wrong on this count. I drafted OLS heavily when it was first released, and have drafted it a lot as it has come back periodically. I’ve also sat down and watched many matches of OLS for a series I write for PureMTGO. I am intimately familiar with the set, and it is just silly of you to make this kind of ad hominem argument.

Criticism of OLS here is clearly coming from someone who read “Legions is all creatures” and knows only that one pieces of information about the format. If you’ve never played the format, don’t trash it.

Your arguments are all invalid.
