Grim Haruspex isn't good enough for Legacy, I fear. A couple people in the Source Zombardment thread were running them so it's worth testing though! Fleshbag Marauder and prob. Mesmeric Fiend aren't playable either, but Fulminator Mage seems like a fit in the deck. Bringing it back with lili...

Magic Online with Digital Objects, now MTGO.

Here's one I'm unsure about: Skaab Ruinator vs. Illusory Angel They're both above-the-curve blue fliers for 3, but Illusory Angel is a lot easier to cast 'normally' (including on turn two with a Mox Diamond). They're also both great in a CoCo or Pod shell, but in the absence of a real...

Also, one of my favourite sideboards in Legacy belongs to some Belcher lists: 15x Revised Island the level of commitment it represents to the delicate machinery of your deck is outstanding; iirc one of the guys who started it did so because he wanted to resist his temptation to sideboard...

In like Flynn.

Legacy players tend to like Disfigure as an agnostic {B} kill spell too. I think Murderous Cut is better here though? You can't be sure that Dismember will even kill an Ooze, and it looks pretty sad against goyfs, too. 1-2 Surgical Extraction in the board (maybe over a Faerie Macabre?) will help...

I looked into current builds of The Gate (an old-school dark confidant/wasteland {B} aggro deck) and, after being astonished that they exist, found out they're running Abyssal Persecutor, Jitte, and Sadistic Sacrament in the sideboard. Also one guy for some reason had Mourning in his board, so...

Oh shoot, if you end up going with fetches and shocks, 4x deathrite would help against a couple of decks as well. Not a zombie, but certainly gives the deck reach against graveyard strats.

Do you like Disdainful Stroke? i always feel like i want it to be negate instead -the four-brainstorms UGb deck rules and having Whisperwood Elemental for beef/filtering is awesome -doesn't timely reinforcements just shit on aggro? Is it worth it? -how nice is Time Spiral to cast in the...

Run a one-of granddaddy Pox maybe? It's great and it puts in work but it's too situational and Smallpox is almost always live. The slower Pox lists actually like the big hit more because it translates to fewer turns of swinging in with a 2/2. I think you could drain for six or seven with Blood...

Cards I'd cut: You don't really need or want big Pox anymore unless you have a massive boner for doing modulo 3 calculations. Some people play one as a fifth Smallpox but I think that's probably outmoded and a mistake too. 1 Duress feels weird and I'd want IoK if it's just a non-Thoughtseize...

I agree with JW but think flash creatures are an important piece of the puzzle as well. Since the lower-powered flash creatures by and large suck, it comes into it more when you're getting to include guys like Venser or Clique I think? Stoneblade is a deck that packs spot removal, a flexible...

I'm on Mana Leak, it's just so good with Snapcaster.

The countertop win is the lock, Jace and Entreat (and, lately, Monastery Mentor) are a formality so you don't go to time every round. Even people who like playing the matchup (future Miracles players all) know that the lock is the scariest part of the deck. The kinds of soft locks available in...

I know I cube decent number of those cards, so if the intent is to be able to host drafts of different cubes then I can't see it being a bad idea. The trade binder of the available cube doesn't have to be the same as the total set of cards the account owns. Just a thought from the peanut gallery...

stoneblade is also a control deck, it's just a control deck with an uncounterable turn 3 batterskull

JVP is absurd but i don't know if he fills the same role as JTMS (or Snapcaster) so people are still pretty bad at evaluating him. I remember at one point I didn't really care about facing him in Legacy but the reanimator and shardless lists with him have given me new pause. He's a busted return...

I run Bloodthrone and she's great. Forces awkward blocks, gives you Esper aristocrats with OJ's C, and it's not like she's a 1/1 when it actually matters.

12/360 plus two flip walkers. Wouldn't mind going down to ten or so but this is fine. Quasi-Superfriends shows up sometimes, but it's rare to see more than one walker in a pack, and so it ends up with, like, four walkers total. That's one or two a game in the dedicated deck, which feels...

Definitely on Treetop Village, there's few cards I like more than manlands. Delver and snap Goggles are tempting, though. Here's another pack: (zoomed)
