People tend to get all touchy feely about cards that force you to respond to them, or lose.

Personally I think a few cards could be removed from the Banned List.

Earthcraft?

Hermit Druid?

Windfall?

Those are the only 3 that standout as unbannable to me.

I know the regular foils were printed in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian.

Thanks.

It's just as fast, but easier. It's a 2 card combo, Hive Mind requires 3.

I think the point he was trying to make is that you can run more than 4 pacts. Maybe?

Neither of those situations are any good unless you're comboing.

Exactly, and you can use either show and tell or monolith to play the mind hive

I don't think you understand what the word "flexible" means. It does not mean you can run multiple copies of what is effectively the same combo piece. It means that the three basic pieces - show and tell, Hive mind, and a Pact - are all useful on their own even when you're not using them together to combo off. Now, in the case of show and tell, this is true - you can use it to cast Emrakul. In the cases of Hive Mind and Pacts, this isn't really true.

Show and Tell is a possibility, but unlikely in the extreme. It's very strong, but clearly not too strong for Legacy. IMO, the biggest problem with Show and Tell is Emrakul, and the biggest problem with Emrakul is Annihilator SIX. Six permanents is ridiculous; it effectively scuppers any chance of getting around its protection from colours. That being, said, I don't mind having either of them running around. The recent printing of Phyrexian Metamorph makes it seem unlikely that either will be getting banned any time soon: there are quite a few decent answers out there now. Hive Mind makes for a very strong and resilient combo deck, but waning interest makes its banning seem unlikely as well.

As for Natural Order... there's no way that's getting the axe. Once again, it's significantly worse without Progenitus, but it's also a sorcery that costs four mana and one creature. Don't get me wrong, it's very powerful, but it's not all that hard to deal with it fairly effectively in a number of colours, blue, black, and white foremost among them. It's still perfectly fair in the format, just as Goblins, Merfolk, Dredge, and Storm combo are fair. While I do think that NO RUG is currently overhyped (NO BUG is better! Not to mention that access to Darkblast makes a massive difference vs. RUG ), I don't think interest will die down a whole lot: it's here to stay for a while, pending new developments in future sets.

On that note, I'd like to see people running the super-secret tech that is Sudden Spoiling more often.

Frankly, I don't think there's anything currently in Legacy that's calling out for a banning at the moment. I love the sheer diversity of the decks out there: at any given tournament, I can't be sure what I'll face, and they're all highly competitive decks. It makes for very interesting games. I'm biased against Emrakul, but that's just my own personal bias (Annihilator SIX really angers me--even when I'm the one with the Emrakul). I'm kind of tempted to see Gush unbanned, even though I know full well that would be absolute lunacy.

Why don't you answer my question? You are the one who needs to use his brain. What are you going to do with the Hive Mind if you don't have any pacts? Your going to sit there and look like and idiot, because only an idiot casts Hive Mind without a pact in hand. If you don't have Hive Mind in play, your pacts are worthless cards. Those pieces have no flexability to them. They are worthless without the other.
