I had a thought...
with mental misstep restricted, has there been any thought on porting over a setup of survival that got it banned in legacy years ago?
I do not know very much about legacy, but I did find an article about survival from years past by flores:

Looks like several survival approaches were used prior to the legacy banning:
(1) ooze survival (necrotic ooze, phyrexian devourer, triskelion/walking ballista)
(2) g/w survival
(3) u/g survival
(4) retainer survival
Is the contemporary approach (vengevine, hollow one, basking rootwalla chain) just a better option?
What about the current secondary modi operandi (1) hatebears plan (2) hogaak (3) control elements?
Would there be any merit to incorporating the former legacy plans (for reference, the banning occurred in 2010)?
My initial guess is that the printing of Hollow One (printed 2017) just outclasses the old technology, but I would love to hear the thoughts of others on the matter.
