Wow with that kind of appearance/placing into Legacy seems to me that TNN will be quickly banned. In vintage it seems slow to me. In classic it seems okay in fish or merfolk but it doesn’t help in the Oath, Dredge or Stax match-up. Since that is most of the meta (excluding affinity, hatebears or other fish decks) I wonder if TNN isn’t better suited as a sideboard card.

There will be a brief period of time (unsure if it’ll be hours, or maybe 1-2 days) where it’ll be profitable to buy a deck like Mind Seize and profit by selling the pieces. TNN will probably be around 30 tix for the first couple of days, but should settle into the same range as Flusterstorm did/has, which is to say hovering between 22-27 tix. You are right, TNN is not an automatic 4-of in many decks. Most play 1-2 copies, while some lists will play 3 (referring to Legacy/Vintage). My plan is to buy 2 decks right away, and sell the rest as quickly as I can. If I ever need a 3rd TNN, I’ll wait for the price to drop and just buy from a bot/player.

any thoughts on if its worth grabbing multiple decks on release? lists seem to indicate there really isn’t a desire to run a full set at a time

It occurred to me today that Tabernacle would be a great fit in the UW Standstill deck above since TNN is the only creature in the deck. My first inclination is to take out the Mindbreak Trap, since it is probably the least necessary card in the maindeck.
