I'm currently working out what I can play without much that isn't from EMA, or the last 10 years or so. It wont necesarily be the cheapest deck, but not buying into a blue duals manabase will be a huge help. Likely looking at Nic Fit. Anyone interested in the lists I end up looking at? Or does anyone have some interesting, relatively budget lists (I say budget... around $500 or so, which is pretty budget for legacy.)

Skyl3lazer posted:Your best bets currently for EMA and non reserved-list decks (and I should mention these in the op) are OmniTell, Death & Taxes, Burn, or Eldrazi. NicFitis a fine-ish deck but you'll still need a fair amount of duals to make it 'good' since it's often a 4-5 color deck. $500 is not a particularly large budget for paper legacy, even burn is closer to 700 now. I do already have Breakfast Burrito, without LEDs for sideboard Belcher option. I feel like I want to move into a more "fair"deck. I have one of's of each of bayou, taiga and badlands, so a jund nic fit with plenty basics to fetch with explorer might work, and things have been fine in testing. (Not amazing, but we are talking budget.) D&T, Burn and Eldrazi are decks friends of mine already have, and omni-tell doesn't look that interesting to me tbh. I know this won't be the best, but it's not for the toughest competition either.

Skyl3lazer posted:^^ "Nic Fit" is just a catchall for the GBx builds - they're anywhere from 3-5 colors, have a bit of a ramp strategy, and win via creatures. It was just a joke name from the Source forums where someone said they had a deck that they thought would be "a nic fit for the current meta". The misspelling stuck. Yeah, the rhino decks seem sweet, but there's a cool list floating around with birthing pod. That said, its running blue, inc. Duals... The only bits of the linked list i should struggle with post EMA is the manabase, and as you say, if im not expecting delver/miracles, then dropping a few percentage points and running basics plus khans fetches may not be too bad.

PhyrexianLibrarian posted:OK, I'll be that guy: Nic Fit is unique from other GBx builds as it specifically plays (and exploits) the interaction between Veteran Explorer and Cabal Therapy, as well as Pernicious Deed as the board-wipe of choice, and often Sensei's Divining Top to take advantage of all the shuffle effects. Its best matchups are decks that don't play very many duals, which allows VE to be one-sided and can ramp you at crazy speeds while your opponent gains nothing. Pretty sure you mean against decks that don't run many basics.

This is what I'm looking to move into, from my current version of Nic Fit, since I feel like I can lose some of the midrange easy-wins as I feel I'm strong enough against the aggro decks I'm facing. Combo is basically a wash for this deck, I hope they don't have it, and hope I draw some hate post-SB, so trying to find where i can gain against the control decks has been key, and this deck plays super sweet. quote:1 Recurring Nightmare Thoughts?

L0cke17 posted:Cut the too cute jank like Yosei, play max hymns. Hymn will give you more game vs most combo and control decks, especially since you also have cabal therapies. The older build I had, with more Rhinos, had DL Dromoka in that spot, but Yosei is a lock with Recurring Nightmare. I agree it looks too cute, but Yosei is better than you think, if you get to use the trigger repeatedly, and on a 5/5 flying body. You may be right about hymn though. But BB is tough to guarantee early enough for it to be relevant.

Ragnar34 posted:Yesterday I found a local shop that holds legacy events every couple of months, 75 proxies allowed, and apparently the meta is super broad but with a preference for burn, dredge, and assorted chalice decks. Anybody got some gonzo poo poo that doesn't auto-lose to two or more of those? Getting owned is fine, but I want to blow at least one person's mind. Just play Breakdast Burrito aka Oops All Spells. It's great against anything without Force of Will, and should be reasonable against the Chalice decks when on the play.

I can see a different version of the deck as a ramp deck possibly working, but I think Blood Sun costing 3 might just be a little high to let that deck be a thing, whereas 1) Amulet comes down on 1 and 2) the deck can function without the amulet.
