Ville Valo posted:I haven't played in like 2 years, so I went out and updated a half dozen Legacy decks and will be playing this weekend. Is it wrong to play Colorless Eldrazi because I want to cast big dumb fatties, and loan out my infinitely more expensive and better 4-color Delver? Or do I just play Delver like a grownup and live vicariously through a friend dropping fatties? 4c Delver is in a really bad place in the meta to be honest. The colorless eldrazi deck is super strong, as is the white splash for Thalias, Displacer, and whatnot. I've ever seen weirder poo poo, like splashing red for Flametongue Kavu, or playing Fleetwheel Cruisers as Reality Smashers 5-8.

Biaga posted:I am new to the thread and was introduced to the game via some close friends. They are seriously addicted, like I am worried sometimes, but in an effort to avoid my taunts they have recently purchased me a commander deck in hopes I will, like them, fall in love with the game. The commander deck they gave me was the Wade into Battle, and I was hoping to get some advice from goons on how to min-max it, because obviously I am totally not curious about beating them. Any advice would be helpful or if there is any trick of the trade I should know I would be greatful.

Death of Rats posted:Anyone have a great Lands list? There is starting to be a proxy Legacy scene on the casual MTG night at my FLGS, and I was thinking that for the cost of a printer cartridge and a pack of sleeves, I should get involved. Lands seems like it's unlike anything I've ever played before. Current List: Spells: 2x Punishing Fire 4x Exploration 4x Crop Rotation 4x Life from the Loam 4x Gamble 4x Mox Diamond 1x Manabond 2x Molten Vortex Lands: 4x Thespian's Stage 4x Wasteland 4x Rishadan Port 3x Grove of the Burnwillows 3x Taiga 3x Dark Depths 3x Maze of Ith 2x Tranquil Thicket 2x Wooded Foothills 1x Windswept Heath 1x The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale 1x Riftstone Portal 1x Bojuka Bog 1x Glacial Ghasm 1x Boseiju, Who Shelters All 1x Forest Sideboard: 2x Trinisphere 2x Chalice of the Void 2x Boil 1x Karakas 2x Tieless Tracker 3x Krosan Grip 1x Back to Nature 2x Kozilek's Return Flex Spots: Bog vs Karakas vs Boseiju main is a meta call, I tend to find Karakas is the worst uncuttable card in the 75, and Boseiju is amazing vs Miracles game 1. Sideboard is fairly flexible - I play the B2N instead of the 4th grip, and Boil over Choke because of the Boseiju. There's so much enchantment hate out of some decks your grips can get overloaded (Miracles, looking at you). You can also play a Crucible of Worlds and a Ghost quarter somewhere int he 75 if you're feeling spicy. Some people are playing a Barbarian Ring against Prelate, I think it's dumb because postboard they're going to have RiP anyway, so I went with Kozi's return SB and a fire/vortex split main. I guess ask if you have any other questions, the deck isn't in an amazing place in the meta right now, but it's still fun as heck to play. It rewards really knowing the timings and interactions of your cards as well.

EvilBeard posted:Do you guys play Punishing Fire or Molten Vortex? I feel like I rarely need Tabernacle. I either lock them up with Molten Vortex/Loam or I just win with the combo. I rarely find myself looking for Tabernacle. Tabernacle is like Karakas in that games it wins, no other card would. Additionally, it's a strong part of your mana denial plan, and puts a ton of pressure on the low mana creature strategies (delvers, elves, etc). It's nearly a wrath in some cases as well, when you can double waste into tabernacle and pass the turn. The card is extremely good, and honestly pretty necessary to have an actual good build of lands. I'm not saying it "worth" the money (the card is expensive only because it's a RL card from Legends), but it's a critical part of the deck. I say this as a dude who has played probably over 1000 matches with Lands in its current iteration.

suicidesteve posted:Spell-based combo. I realistically should have lost to Storm when I played it but my draws were good and I knew the right spells to counter. Pierce also usually can't counter an Infernal Tutor but is otherwise generally better. I mean pierce usually doesn't actually counter tutor but if they go from 6 to 4 mana floating that can be real big.

L0cke17 posted:I think BUG Delver is personally. With Fatal Push you have quality removal without splashing, and you can play either discard or more counterspells to protect Leovold. He takes the slot of what used to be the true-name or clique in the more traditional builds. I personally like the version with stifle and daze, and minimum levels of discard (usually no hymns, small number of TS/Duress). I disagree with playing a creature in a delver deck which costs 3 mana and isnt immune to everything

I mean, there are plenty of 1 color and 1 Mana answers to moon, decay isn't required. Also mean you need 2 drs or a basic in play to cast over say, natural state or similar.

Also Lumbering falls are splashed for hexproof since there's zero creatures main.
