One time I entered a modern tournament with a $70 mono blue artifact budget deck I went 4-3
Leo Cooper
I brought pic related to GP new jersey a few years ago because pox ate rug delver alive. Went 1-4-0. Beat mono-red-burn and get 4 miracle matchups in a row after
John Price
Which deck is better Imperial Painter or Maverick? I want another Legacy deck to slowly build towards and these are the two im interested in but which is more competitive?
Matthew Miller
I mean, both are good. It's more about how well you know the deck than about what it does. That said, I've seen Painter get more results but that's because more people seem to be playing it than Maverick.
Leo Turner
And that's because Maverick is widely outclassed by 4c Loam
Easton Cooper
>Legary
I started playing legacy to get AWAY from that shit! Come on!
Matthew Rogers
My bad f a m. Phoneposting.
Jacob Johnson
>Phoneposting My nyukka.
Jason Reyes
Time to brew a Gray Merchant deck and call it "Le Gary."
Isaiah Phillips
I smell a new community shitbrew
Ayden Russell
Bloodghast sucks. Im my experience the "value" of dropping one from a Smallpox or something isnt as usefull as just ending the game with a Gurmag Angler
Ayden Morales
This was almost three years ago. It was Khan's first week and the deck was glacially slow. It wasn't uncommon to win over 8 turns with 2 power at a time. In hindsight that may have been right but shortly after I took that picture I dismantled the deck and sold off the parts.
Elijah Gutierrez
What would you play in it? Pox shell with whip+le gary? Bloodghasts and contamination seem fun with gary
Julian Rodriguez
A pox shell is going to focus on removing permenants, not having stuff out.
I'd say just a basic mono black control with Lillis, Phyrexian Obliterators, plenty of discard, maybe run stuff like Phyrexian Arena. A light blue splash for Brainstorm/Ponder might help.
Ian Hernandez
What are your preferred/spiciest reanimation targets for UB reanimator? Right now I have a pretty typical 3xGrisel, 1 of iona, elesh, tidespout, grave titan, and then a sire for those turn 1 reanimates. I have a sphinx of the steel wind in the board because there is a lot of delver/aggro decks in my meta, but I switch it for an inkwell if I am going into something unknown. Anything I can add for maximum spice?
Oliver Rivera
Picture related, bandito.
Justin Cook
I like aetherling a lot. I've also seen keranos.
Chase Ortiz
>not necro 2.0
Jose James
Why is Painter so much fun? Something about a non blue combo deck
Matthew Perry
M8 you put cranial plating and q bunch of ornithopters in a deck and youll win some games
Nah, just didn't think to throw them in. Didn't seem that unique at the time compared to the dice. Everybody has teeth, but I didn't know anybody with those dice
Colton Miller
If Obliterators werent so fucking expensive I would throw that shitshow together for SCG Dallas, but it looks like I'll just be running good ole Pox unless the start align and they unban Frantic Search, then Solidarity here we come! I play bad decks
Justin Wright
just play solidarity anyway
Joseph Sanders
>make top 8 with Burn >almost take game 2 over Delver >Land land land land land land land So long gay Bowser
Grayson Martin
I sold my Forces, not going to buy another playset just to go 2-6
Elijah Sanders
So what are some Legacy playable cards (esp. permanents) that cost a lot of black mana? >Phyrexian Obliterator >Griselbrand >Lich >Nefarious Lich >Phyrexian Arena >Bloodghast >Bridge from Below (LOL) >Underworld Dreams (?????)
How about stuff that costs a little bit of black mana, but that's good value? >Deathrite Shaman >Dread of Night (sideboard?) >Putrid Imp >Carrion Feeder >Death's Shadow (?????) >Shadowborn Apostle (8^D)
Anybody see the makings of a shell here? What am I missing?
Camden Sanders
Good cards
Wyatt Lee
if you're playing carrion feeder, you should be playing bloodghast, and also possibly gravecrawler and geralfs messenger
Jace Watson
Well, yeah; that's what I'm looking for.
I feel like a load of acceleration, mutual discard, and reanimation could make this viable, but maybe /probably I'm wrong.
Living Death?
Xavier Anderson
Maybe U/B zombies with Gary?
Alexander Foster
I once made a garbage discard deck with Howling Banshee as main wincon. I somehow went 2-1-1. I feel like making another shitbrew but with pauper cards only this time to see how bad I get rocked
Christian Robinson
Why not make old standard mono-black devotion plus necro, obliterator and wasteland? Add cabal coffers for spicier tech?
Joshua Ross
Get some Recurring Nightmares to keep getting the ETB and Mindslicers to sac and fill up gy.
Evan Johnson
That could work but desecration demon is a definite no go since it's super bad. Maybe stick some veteran explorers in and splash green for abrupt decay as well? It'd give us tons of mana for pack rat. And I'm digging the Phyrexian arena for the deck to always have an extra card to discard
Wyatt Watson
>tfw you own 4 Obliterators
Lucas Hall
Burn is not brainless. When will this meme die?
Alexander Davis
you cast seven 1 mana 3 damage spells. wow very skill intensive
Gavin Flores
Epic meme but theres a lot more to it then that. Plus i can do what you just did to nearly any deck watch. You play a bunch of mana rituals and draw spells until you've cast 9 cards in a turn and then you cast a Tendrils. Wow very skill intensive.
Jaxon Peterson
FUCK, I just found out there's no video coverage for the GP. Another slap in the face for the Legacy player base...
Joseph Cox
Daily reminder that /burnbabies/ must go back to modern general if they can\t handle the bantz
Robert Ross
I was actually parodying that meme because I was having a good time.
GP's today isn't it? Anyone here going? Is there a meet-up happening?
Camden Green
>No video coverage
God FUCK WOTC, seriously.
Ive been looking forward to the GP for weeks, silly me for assuming a goddamn GP would at least have the same level of effort put into it as the weekly SCG Opens.
Hunter James
Decided against it. As much as I bitch about there not being enough legacy stuff to do, I'm not getting a hotel room, plane tickets and the rest of what'll be that weekends budget to beat 3-4 shitters who built miracles for its power, then lose to 4 people who absolutely shit on miracles. I'm no Joe Lossett but I can pilot through some of the worse matchups.
Also this. My shop is at the point where we have non-sanction tournaments to let people play with proxies. I'm glad eternal masters made the format considerably cheaper, and the reprinting of the odyssey fetches too. I would be over the moon to have a reprint of the zendikar fetches in the next couple of sets (Probably when the fetchable duals are gone from standard) but This format needs some actual support from wizards. The format needs coverage so that people stop thinking its a format of turn 1 wins vs miracles and delver. I cant tell you how many times we get the high schoolers coming to legacy sunday at the shop and they think everyone will be trolled hard by their oops/charbelcher/cheerios proxy deck.
Luke Garcia
Me as well, I'm yuropean, so I was planning on watching in the evening/night.
We're pretty lucky in that regard, with plenty of legacy players. Heck, there's even a monthly Vintage FNM, with people lending eachother Black Lotuses and other power so enought people have a deck.
Justin Bell
Louisville was a little too far away for me. With scg Worcester coming up in a couple months I'd figured I'd just do that and save some cash.
Matthew Stewart
>I cant tell you how many times we get the high schoolers coming to legacy sunday at the shop and they think everyone will be trolled hard by their oops/charbelcher/cheerios proxy deck. I love watching their faces drop when you say, "Oh, okay, I've seen this before. You're playing Belcher/Oops/whatever." 9 times out of 10 they ask to borrow a deck next week or they bring a new one because they're tired of playing it or their deck didn't give them the feeling of being a That Guy.
Which is why I always keep at least 2 Leyline of the Void in my side and aggressively mulligan after losing the first game to Oops.
Ethan Hill
Deck is ready for local tournament tomorrow. Any last minute critiques? besides "play a different deck"
Jaxon Morris
white border the other cards
Asher Fisher
Didn't like Lim-Dûls Vault after all?
Parker Cruz
Your dumbed down description of storm still sounds more complex than burn.
Jayden Miller
>Bad decks edition I tried.
Jason Barnes
>bad decks edition Oh boy do I have a shit-brew for you.
Charles Thompson
Oh man you weren't kidding.
8/10 for flavor 7/10 for color 0/10 for viability Good job, user
Julian Evans
Maybe one day. It takes a long time to whiteborder that many cards.
William Scott
Just trying something different. Death wish can be played off a ritual, and this version has more rituals to spare.
Isaac Morales
>7/10 and 8/10 You're too generous.
Levi Lopez
bump
Parker Lewis
Steamy hot shit-brews! Right here fresh and stanky!
Elijah Anderson
Forgot pic
James Long
Does this deck even WIN? How??
Landon Kelly
Hunting Pack for 6+ storm count and concordant crossroads at the same time :D works every time 12% of the time
Jason Wood
I'm not giving up on this Aetherflux Combo. It's going to happen.
Brayden Ward
why not just do it like a storm ccombo?
Leo Richardson
I play a Living Death deck and it's worth it if only for my opponents' faces when I'm burning through my deck and discarding Reanimates
Matthew Martinez
So my first Legacy tournament in over a month is this Sunday. I hate Vermont sometimes...
What should I play? AnT, Dredge, Belcher, or Poops?
Leaning toward AnT again. It's a known meta, and I think I'd like to get back into practice.
Might want to Dredge it up, though. Goofy deck is goofy.
Joseph Kelly
Play ANT. it's the best of your options.
Austin Lewis
>got 4 miracle matchups in a row the dream
Blake Davis
Play white bordered anything
>my deck only beats one deck in the format. >brags about it. Truly autism knows no limits.
Noah Roberts
...
Hudson Cooper
I really like this.
Mason Adams
>Playing a bad deck >Complaining when losing on the internet >Cry when some user mocks you on chinese board He is not the autist
Ethan Price
Any other GP I wouldn't have brought pox, but the field was almost 50% delver because treasure cruise was just released. Also that's some other autist, never owned 12post and I'd never advise storm decks under any condition other than as a hillariously bad brew.
Charles Peterson
Bump.
What is the best Counterspell art?
What is the best Thoughtseize art?
What is the best Force of Will art?
Again, if you got it wrong, pre-release is next week. Better get a jump on that standard deck, because that's all you can apparently handle playing.
Colton James
I guess EMA Counterspell is chill.
Theros over Llorwyn because Llorwyn fucking sucked and I'm not ashamed to say it.
EMA would be good if it didn't have the goofiest fucking set symbol. Feels like I'm playing Pokémon every time I see a card with that symbol on it.
Andrew Price
>tfw went 4-0 with punishing maverick this week
Kayden Sanchez
>Jace art counterspell. Never in my life. MM is where it's at.
Anthony Richardson
Bump before bed.
Cameron Martinez
I think the Alpha art for Counterspell is best
Lorwyn for sure has the best thoughtseize art. The theros one just looks so dumb.
Sorry but you're wrong on the FoW art. The Judge promo is the absolute top tier you plebian.
David Gonzalez
>had a faerie macabre in hand and didn't use it in response to my opponent casting reanimate playing cockatrice early in the morning is always a bad idea....
Cooper Sanchez
>Resolve brainstorm, play Probe before fetching I just shouldn't play Storm.
Cameron Price
>mystical tutor >spin Top >fetch anyways I need to stop playing EDH
Nolan Stewart
I mean if you want the card you put on top, like if it's a therapy or something, this play might be fine.
Isaiah Ramirez
Every time it was a card that I didn't want at the time. I did it like... Three times, in 6 rounds?
Wyatt Richardson
Oh. I see.
Liam Green
Brainstorm's too skill-intensive for me, I guess Back to Breakthrough I go
Parker Robinson
maybe you should just play burn?
Justin Sanchez
Dude fuck off with the >burn is brainless.
One time my opponent was on three and I only had a lava spike in hand, took me a minute to find the line but I finally did and took the match.
Bentley Collins
yeah one time I was on game 3 vs storm and almost forgot to cast eidolon of the great revel. was sweating bullets that match
Ian Moore
Kek
Sebastian Watson
ooga booga booga, where de red women at
Amyways, I ran this shitshow for like a year until it got boring.
It actually took down a 6 round local tournament once, went undefeated.
Ive always wanted to try mono green storm, I'll need to give this list a shot.
Eli Ramirez
Has anyone played enchantress? I adore Solitary Confinement.
Robert Gonzalez
Lost my first round with Nourishing lich to turbo depths, 0-2. Discard and a quick combo trumps my bad 3-card combo.
James Foster
Lost round 2 vs goblins, 1-2. Managed to sneak in a game win against another bad deck, but I still couldn't win the match.
Logan Rivera
...
Owen Harris
I played enchantress for a while, it was my first real legacy deck. I got tired of losing though, and tgat was like 4 years ago. I cant imagine trying to play it now.
Shitty enchantress builds in modern are still fun though, even though they dont use any of the traditional cards.
Mason Sanders
I like enchantress, but is a very meta dependant deck. I usually maindeck 3 leyline against storm and combos. Abzan open possibilities like leyline of the void for reanimator un the sideboard
