No Thalia atm, Scullers are on there still working on the list, I'll be sure to post it when I can. He's mostly to punish Force of Wills trying to stop my kill spells and hand disruption.

>Silver bullets for the local meta? What does your meta look like?
I started running a Ghost Quarter for all the nerds running 1-3 basics to combat Wasteland.
My meta has a couple reanimator players, a dredge player, a DnT player, a couple Miracles players, about 3 delver-based decks of varied colors and builds, a MUD player (who will sometimes play a surprise Eldrazi deck), a lands player, a punishing jund player, and a couple affinity decks.
>Git Probe turn one on the play. To your horror you see...
RiP, Blood Moon, Painful Truths, Pithing needle, Plains, Mountain, Swamp
I have no fucking clue what deck they are playing, but it would be annoying as fuck to do any kind of loam or discard shenanigans against them.

>>
>>49249390
Is Delver really that bad of a match for you?
>>
>>49249390
>>49249423
Nvm I forgot what split second did for 4 seconds. Still is Delver a good or bad Matchup for you?
>>
>>49249423
I think the point is that 3 sudden shocks will effectively keep him from dealing damage until turn 6 or 7. The whole time 2 delvers are beating him off.
>>
>>49249450
no, not really. the delvers were just to represent a clock because there's probably some world where I beat 3 sudden shock given enough time, but not while getting clocked for 6 a turn.
>>
>>49249055
>>Git Probe turn one on the play. To your horror you see...

Brainstorm
RiP
Helm of Obedience
Force
Tundra
Island
Strand

The real question is, why am I probing t1 on the play? What deck am I borrowing?
>>
>>49249559
Manaless Dredge of course. And in your infinite wisdom you decided it was a good idea to jam 4 git probes and rock a 64 card deck. What could go wrong?
>>
>>49249559
I already play 4 probes and 4 street wraith.
Either I'm doing some weird shit with Probing them to see if I should play Unmask t1, or i'm drunk.
>>
>>49249665
Ha, guess I know nothing about manaless dredge.
>>
>>49249763
This is my current list.
Thinking of going to 4 Amalgam, and slotting in a FKZ somewhere.
Also gotta make my deck consistant with sets.
>>
>>49249846
FKZ seems like an auto include. Also, on a scale of 1 to 10, how boss is amalgam?

Awful to here about the flooding, and good on you with the cards. I'm sure playing mtg would be great after something like that.

Sorry to hear about your shop. What I wouldn't give for some more Legacy events...
>>
>>49250611
do you play in lafayette?
>>
>>49249960
In an emergency it can be eaten by Ichorid, and if you play the blue SB, it pitches to Force. It's a 17-20th free creature. It's good shit.
>>
>>49250611
We'll recover eventually, Louisianafags stick together, you know?
Plus, the store owner managed to evacuate all of his legacy stuff with the floodwaters rising and I haven't heard any tales of lost power 9 or duals or w/e.

I'm the guy from Baton Rouge, not who you responded to, but I used to go to Lafayette for prereleases back before Rocket's Hideout opened and we had a shop that ran them again.

Does 5th ed have any FBB languages?
I'm looking into the cost to pimp my deck out, and there's nothing I can do to my Nether Shadows besides altering them, unless I go with the art I don't like as much.
>>
>Playing
Dredge, Oops, looking to pimp my belcher deck with as many foreign foils as possible

Lost Legacy legit seems legacy playable
Can't snag artifacts though which sucks, but imagine being able to just name reality smasher or counterbalance on turn 1 and shut someone out
>>
>>49251990
But if you push it out T1 on the play and it eats FoW then your both down 2 cards but your opponent didn't use up a turn to do it, and you've missed your window where Daze can't be up. On the draw you have a similar issue but you have to worry about the 2 for 1 with Daze/Spell Pierce.

If you do resolve it, great. You've removed 0-4 copies of a card your opponent may not even have drawn for the rest of the match. I think it's relevant in very specific combo matchups where the deck hinges on 1 card, but even those decks usually pack alternate wincons. This reminds me of an episode of CFB MTGtop8(when LSV still did it) where LSV explained how he had an opponent who thought they got something like 10 for 1 playing some card like that and how that wasn't how CA works. Tjough in this context you appear to be thinking of it more as a way to cripple combo decks.

Island, island, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish.
>>
>>49251990
Actually, that card might just make it in a Relentless Rats deck. Target yourself, exile enough Rats to draw your deck without decking, then win because you just drew 25ish cards. Unmask, Dark Ritual, Lotus Petal. Could be real.

Worse than fucking Hitler.
You better get his art altered to give him some thug bling

>>49251990
It's best used targeting yourself to name something like Relentless rats and be left with just the good non-rats cards in your library. But that that point, why not just run Doomsday.

>>49254422
>then win because you just drew 25ish cards.
You only draw a card for each card exiled from your HAND so at most it's draw 6.

He probably inner sleeves right side up, it also probably makes it easier to shuffle

This is correct. Not sure it really affects shuffling though.

Not sure what you mean. Don't think I've ever seen him play.

cards upside down on the battlefield, lands in front. basically how mtgo displays your opponents board state.
it's how I play my draft decks, to tilt people

>>49256454
I've watched Adrian Sullivan play back when Standard was actually fun. It was a UB Control mirror and it was a holy mess of lands and Perilous Vaults and Kung-Fu Leviathans.

I've seen Magic. That was pure chaos.
>>
>>49256562
man, I loved that deck. I remember playing against the hardened scales deck one time and my opponent wouldn't concede even though I had a full hand and like 11 untapped mana and an ugin.
is this how miracles pilots feel?
>>
>>49256454
I find that my ugly deck is sufficient to tilt people.
>>
>>49256624
At least your petal isn't FTV and your therapies original set ~~
>>
>>49256615
That's how I play. Unless my life total is at 0 or I have no deck, I haven't lost the game yet. It's won me several "unwinnable" games against Modern decks.

>>
>>49256615
If I'm playing against you, I'm always scared unless I have countertop and 4 FoW in my hand with 4 other blue cards and lethal next turn. Otherwise? Sometimes, lots of burn players go down hilariously though. I have counter top active open mana and surgical extraction ed all their exquisite firecrafts after I thought seized one on t 1. They don't realize that when you can't cast a spell, you generally can't win. That's rare but it's an example.
>>
>>49257134
Woops I misread narcomoeba. Still, dredge is the stuff of my nightmares.

Also, asking the real questions. Why doesn't basking rootwalla see play in dredge?

Something like this:

>Why doesn't basking rootwalla see play in dredge?
When discarding, a dredge player 100% wants to bin a dredger. Rootwalla does nothing for dredge. Can't even eat it with Ichorid. Sno gud mane.
>>
>>49258837
>>49259457
People back when playing standard dredge actually considered the idea of playing the standard madness cards sideboard if people started playing too much graveyard hate.
I don't think it would be good, but it would be funny.
>>
>>49259457
Gotcha. Also at this wouldn't ya think there would be some sort of madness or flashback deck. I mean, miracle has an enabler in the form of sensei's divining top, does madness/flashback have such an enabler? If not, then what would such an enabler entail? temur madness when?

jacetice league, to the gatherer!
>>
>>49259457
what would you take out for it?
it's not a good card in the deck, and doesn't really deserve a spot there
>>
>>49260110
I believe that's exactly what I said.
>>
>>49259620
There is a flashback deck, but it's hidden in the form of Grixis Delver.

Fuck Snapcaster Mage

I tried as best as I could
If someone can do it better, go for it
>>
>>49262238
Let me throw together something real fast, I have some ideas.
>>
>>49262238
You should've went with the full Martyr/Proc/Emeria shell. Cards like Boon Reflection and Heroes Remembered are bad.
>>
>>49262442
I think it's as easy as Nearhearth Pilgrim and Volcano Hellion.

>Cast Nearhearth Pilgrim
>Cast Volcano Hellion, Soulbond to Pilgrim
>Choose X damage, deal X to Volcano Hellion, take X damage to my life total
>Gain X life from Volcano Hellion's Lifelink, gain X life from Pilgrim's Lifelink
>Hellion dies
>Aetherflux everyone and everything
>Get to keep my X amount of life when or if the turn ends

It's bad and it's terrible, but it's a combo nonetheless.

>How much cheaper do Chinese fakes make your deck?
>How realistic are the cards?
>What are the odds you would see them at a tournament?
>What is the penalty for being caught?
>>
>>49262561
Can throw recruiter in there too
Make is RWG and use GSZ to find the hellion
Can also use red's fast mana
Might actually work
>>
>>49262626
A lot cheaper, though your proxies will retain 0 value, as you can't sell them on later.
The cards can be identified as fakes by judges utilizing a magnifying glass. There was a post on a judge forum about a judge ordering fakes and offering to share them around so that other judges could learn to identify fakes.
I don't know.
The penalty for being caught is disqualification. The penalty if you are caught trading them is fraud aka jail.
>>
>>49262639
GSZ doesn't find Hellion unless you run Painter's Servant and make everything green.

How viable is Nahiri, the Harbinger in Legacy. Something that keeps coming to mind for me us using her+Emrakul, thr Aeons Torn as your primary wincon instead of Monastery Mentor, but even that isn't amazing.
>>
>>49263282
If you're talking miracles, I'd say its probably worse than mentor
Mentor has synergy with top and all of your spells
Emrakul can just be a dead card if you don't find Nahiri, and she doesn't really do much the turn she comes down. Mentor can still generate all the tokens you want the turn it comes into play, so even if he's gone the tokens can still beatdown quickly.
>>
>>49263282

So what is the verdict on Sanctum Prelate and Recruiter of the Guard? Do they work well in D&T?
>>
>>49263282
Why would I take 6 turns to get a 15/15 that dies at the end when I could take 2 turns to stick it for free? Her only redeeming quality is jamming out Emrakul or Blightsteel, one of which can be hit with Swords and the other is a one-trick pony. I'd rather Ancient Tomb, Volcanic Island, Show and Tell Emrakul than go through that mess.

But that's just me.
>>
>>49263466
yeah they see play, the numbers vary though
>>
>>49263466

>Prelate
1 Main, maybe 1 boarded
>Recruiter
3 main
>>
>>49263282
She isn't that great, I mean she looks like she could do great but she really isn't. Especially since she's 4 mana and doesn't always do something great the turn she comes down. Tbh I've been thinking of dropping down to 1 JTMS because 90% of the time he's used as FoW fodder (the other 10% is gas but it's usually rare he lives long unless I'm against miracles). I could maybe see her seeing play if Dig through time was still around because she also let's you discard.

Alright friends, pick three card that you wish were legacy playable that aren't/not that great

1. Sphinx's revelation
2. Supreme verdict
3. dragon broodmother

What do you guys think of new Chandra, I like her but she's too high cost for burn and idk where else she'd see play maybe red stompy but that decks pretty Janky as is

I think she may be being under rated by the legacy community but I think it's best to wait and see how good she is. Maybe there's a midrangey burn deck out there that hasn't been discovered yet and Chandra is perfect for it. I know she would be absolute hell for a miracle player

Recurring Nightmare Pod Nic Fit. Its like the greatest cube deck you've ever drafted.

I lost to a kids mono-green Genesis Wave ramp deck. It sounds shitty, but Death and Taxes literally cannot do anything to that strategy
>>
>>49263466
I like Prelate, 2 in the 75 right now. I like the 1/1 split, but it almost has no text in some matchups so you don't really want to load up on them.

Recruiter is good, but you can easily get flooded with them. I'm running 2, and like it. Having 2 in hand without an aether vial is usually miserable.

I'm more on the fence about Big Thalia. I've been testing versions with 1, 2 and 3 for a couple months now and she's never done anything particularly good for me. I'm thinking of just cutting them, they're tempo cards and this isn't a tempo deck
>>
>>49271198
What's good about her? Are you telling me you can't think of any better 6 drops that are straight up better plays?
>>
>>49273054
>What's good about her?
Graveyard filling and card draw on a stick, strong damage potential that you can't Terminus and up to 4 damage boardwipe power the turn she drops.
As far as walkers go that's a pretty good set of abilities.
>>
>>49273270
Interesting, we are talking about different chandra. So there is 2 of them in this set?

I'm not sure where you would play her tho, but looks interesting.

Oh, the anon I replied to said "6 drop" so I assumed he meant the Chandra from Oath of the Gatewatch

And yes, they replaced Intro Decks with "Planeswalker decks"
Same thing as an into deck but they come with a weak standard-legal planeswalker that you can only get in that product, not packs.

Goblins: 2 Ethersworn Canonist, 2 RiP, 3 Pyrokinesis, 2 Wear // Tear (I play 3 Thalia main), Storm: Wishboard + 3 Decay, 2 Carpet of Flowers, Delver: 15 assorted spells, including Umezawa's Jitte, Electrickery and Surgical Extraction
>Silver bullets for the local meta? What does your meta look like?
Haven't played in quite a while. Will start again next semester, I guess.
>Git Probe turn one on the play. To your horror you see...
Chalice, Trinisphere, Grim Monolith, Ancient Tomb, City of Traitors, Lodestone Golem, Lodestone Golem (my brother plays MUD)

At the moment I'm looking to build another deck (even though I don't get to play that much). It will probably be Reanimator as I only have to get the reanimation spells and Elesh Norn. Should I use Darkslick Shores for USea 3+4 or rather Watery Grave/basics? I also really like Elves but I can't justify buying Cradles with no regular games.

>>49277562
I know. I was replying to someone talking about Chandra then saying "Are you telling me you can't think of any better 6 drops" so I thought he meant Flamecaller. Then he asked if there were two in "this set" (which I assumed he meant Kaladesh) so I posted the Planeswalker deck one to show him there IS indeed two, but the second is trash.
If you actually read the posts right you'd realise that.
This is all because someone referred to Chandra as a "six drop"
>>
>>49277292
>>49277400
Yeah, I am. Here's my current mainboard; it's really bad right now. I wasn't sure on the combo at first, but here's how it works (ripped straight from the video I found it on).

>When Volcano Hellion enters the battlefield, it deals an amount of damage of your choice to you (X damage lifelink) AND target creature (X damage lifelink). Naturally, you pick Volcano Hellion. Both times the Hellion deals the lifelink damage (to itself and to you). So for every 1 damage you receive you gain 2 life.

so Star of David games was having a sale today. I convinced my friend that plays modern infect to buy into legacy. naturally, he wanted to play some legacy, but I only had infect with me, so I just played about an hour and a half of the mirror. it was not fun.
interesting happenings included me taking 16 off my turn 2 sylvan library, and fighting a large counter war to resolve my berserk targeting his inkmoth nexus.

>>49283306
Manaless is cheap and can be fun. Proxy the deck and test a bit before you spend on it. It dies pretty hard to some grave hate, but you can also upgrade it to mana-full dredge over time if you like the style.
>>
>>49283353
oh there was plenty of that, but it seemed pretty straightforward to me. vines to counter vines, vines to counter invigorate, submerge in response to fetching. fun stuff.

>>49286864
LED Dredge can hit the FTK with the nuts, typically

>LED
>Faithless
>Breakthrough
>2 Golgari Grave Troll
>Bridge from Below
>Land

This promises a possibly huge output of Zombie tokens, which may be enough to combo into Dread Return FKZ for a lethal turn 1 attack. You really need to hit the nuts, getting all 4 Bridges and a lot of Narcomoebas and therapies in your yard. I've done it though, it's possible.

Turn 2 wins aren't actually all that uncommon for the deck.
>>
>>49286864
SI, Belcher, Oops and Cheerios are the only decks that are designed to kill turn 1 that I can think of. If we're talking any deck that can do it, ANT, TES, DDFT and Nourishing Lich all can, as well as Dredge, Reanimator and SnT decks, which can kill or effectively kill on turn 1.

Does it really beat SI? I heard somewhere SI had ~70-80% T1 killrate, until it runs into force, that is.
>>
>>49287727
Pretty sure he's talking about First Turn Kills.
>>
>>49287763
Not sure what decks were in the running for the study(?) I heard, honestly could just be a rumor, give me a bit and I'll test it.
>>
>>49287763
>>49287845
SI seems to have roughly a 20% turn 1 win rate (on the play) the version of tin fins with the highest turn 1 win rate is 'shallow storm' by pomegrant (specifically a version with 1 unburial rights maindeck), which has roughly a 35% first turn win rate. The stock version of Tin Fins probably has a significantly lower win rate than SI I'd guess 10% at most.
This is also accounting for the fact that I mulled to get the turn 1 win, in reality the win rate would be even lower for both decks.
Neither are that impressive really, maybe the sample wasn't large enough, or I'm using a bad version of SI or I suck, but I flat don't believe 70%, 40% is really the maximum that makes absolutely any sense to me, maybe 45 on the draw.
>>
How well positioned is Omni-tell? Is it even playable post DTT ban? Is there another variant to play or is it just sneak and show that's viable now..
>>
>>49289149
I'm guessing it's still viable and I know people still play it. T.b.h I'd don't know why people don't just play sneak and show instead, someone more adept would have to tell you that.
>>
>>49289149
I'm pretty sure every sneak and show list now runs Omniscience and Sneak and Show all at once
>>
>>49289223

Nah there are still some stubborn faggots who want to play show and tell as a mono blue control deck, I swear they get off on the other player dying of boredom

Like when you manage to get a first turn Omniscience but all you have is a deck full of counters, cantrips and 1 emmy you just sit back and watch your opponent squirm

What is this "Stompy" deck type I keep hearing about? Is it just more boring 'Creatures: The Tappening' shit?
>>
>>49289877
Stompy is a set of Aggro-Prison decks that are based around slamming Chalice of the Void, and other various permenant based lock pieces. They usually feature a lot of creatures as a way to close games out before the opponent can draw out of the prison.

The fun with them is that they are first and foremost metagame calls, and can completely fuck a predictable metagame. If you know your opponents are going to be on Miracles, Goblin or Soldier stompy aim to make their deck horrifically inefficient, then win through card advantage or fast beats before they draw out of the prison.

My day started a few hours ago. I'm watching the finals of our local Legacy league. They are 16 players playing 5 rounds of swiss and then cut to top 8. We have:
Miracles x 2
Grixis Delver x 2
Maverick x 2
BR Reanimator
Grixis Pyro
Goblins
Infect
Aluren
Merfolk
Black Death and taxes (brew playing new recruiter, Bob and sculler, among other cards)
Pox loam
Fizzblade (our organiser, 4c value with drs, countertop, mentor, stoneforge, etc.)
Helmerator

If there's any interest I can post regular updates on how the tourney goes.
>>
>>49290401
8 sol lands is really key in Blood Moon and Eldrazi stompy, but it's more a result of needing a turn 1 play and those decks requiring sol lands to do that. Soldier Stompy runs less sol lands because it has more colored 2 drops, so chrome mox or mox diamond are necessary to slam a Suppression Field or Thalia on turn 1.

Well SCG Orlando is 1 week away and I don't have the LEDs for Dredge nor the completed sideboard for Burn. I could fill out the LED spots with Putrid Imps and Tireless Tribe or I could go throw together the few missing cards for my Burn sideboard.

Ideas?

Play a more consistent and draw-oriented Dredge list instead of a ridiculously inconsistent and overrated card.

>>49295917
you could play 4 storm crow in a dredge list and go 3-0 is no one was running grave hate.

I wanna play dredge.
Should I have a manabase or no? How does having one change the deck's matchups? Any basic tips/interactions I should know?
Also is it just me or does the one with a mana base seem a little inconsistent when goldfishing? Unless I'm really doing it wrong.
>>
>>49297274
Mana dredge is better at fighting hate and I think most dredge players would agree it's just the better version, but it is more expensive. I don't play dredge I'm no expert.

>B: generate X Zombie tokens, draw 6 cards
I didn't know how much I wanted this until now.

Manaless folds to graveyard hate. LED can fight through it. Having a manabase gives you access to Firestorm and Nature's Claim, both of which can be considered killer cards in a number of match-ups. With Dredge you have to mulligan aggressively to get the pieces you want, namely: gold land, discard outlet, a Dredger, and a draw spell. If you haven't read the MTGSalvation Primer that went up about a month ago, I recommend going and taking a look. It'll save you some time.
>>
>>49297274
LED dredge is generally established to be the better deck because of consistency
I have no idea how it's inconsistent for you, I goldfish all the time and very rarely can I not win by turn 3 or 4 at the latest
maybe you have a weird list

UR artifact welder brew thing that has focus on the welder itself and effects like it (daretti, trash for treasure, scrap mastery.)
Not that great of a thing yet since I do not seem to get relevant shit (sundering titan, Myr Battlesphere, wurmcoil, anger) into grave fast.

Biggest problem is that my nature I am a by nature miser with a terrible hobby and format for that so I am constantly trying to find cheaper solutions instead of just buying Intuitions (not even that expensive) and etc.

This sounds really fun, I'll try brewing up a list and we can compare results. You run Thirst/Looting+Anger for haste?

Yes
Even tested Taigam's Scheming trying to dig and dump things from library while trying not to hit things I want to draw but does not work that well because the card is pretty shit when I started to actually think about it.

post list

-Welders
4 Welder
3 Daretti
2 trash for treasure
1 Scrap Mastery

-Things to Weld from grave
3 Myr battle sphere
2 Sharuum
1 Wurm coil
1 Sundering titan
1 Spine of Ish Sah
1 Kuldotha forgemaster

-Looting
3 Faithless
3 careful study
3 Izzet charm
3 Cephalid colosseum

-Toolbox/combo pieces/things to weld from battlefield
3 Anger
1 Altar of the brood
3 chromatic star
2 Tangle wire
1 Ichor wellspring

-Tutors
3 Gamble
3 Goblin matron ("oh boi a tutor for my welder that costs cents")

2 pyroblast (1 sb)
1 dispel (2 sb)

1 Spicy meatball called Scarpyard Salvo

For lands only things worth mentionin are 4 of Great furnace and Seat of synod

Honestly I am kind of ashamed to show my shitty cheapass brews that only kinda functions in its current form. It is very much WIP deck.
>>
>>49299728
Boy, you think THAT'S bad.

4 Aetherflux Reservoir

4 Imperial Recruiter
4 Nearheath Pilgrim
4 Volcano Hellion

4 Enlightened Tutor
4 Faithless Looting

4 Manamorphose
3 Seething Song
3 Desperate Ritual
2 Pyretic Ritual
2 Chord of Calling

22 Lands
>>
>>49299794
that is spicy
>>
>>49299728
What if you went for like lock pieces and sol lands instead of all the looting? Could throw in Dack Fayden instead and it would loot like crazy, and then you could throw in chalic/trinisphere and maybe like lodestone golem
You could also be using like 2-3 metalworker to power out stuff if you can't weld.
Altar of the brood seems like shit, ichor wellspring seems a lot better.
Gamble and Matron seem like they aren't work it
Transmute artifact might be cool, you could also throw in a singleton painter + stone just to have a dedicated combo finish in the deck
>>
>>49299828
Needs better tutors and a better way to get the combo online. I haven't touched it much, this deck is in the worst colors for draw spells (RWG)
>>
>>49299794
I think Eladamri's Call would almost be better than Chord of Calling. It would certainly make your manabase easier to build and not as weak to Blood Moon/Wasteland.
>>
>>49299794
>>49300014
OR you could perform some extreme jank with Defense of the Heart.
>>
I tried brewing up a list, and this is what i came up with. Nothing for SB yet but some number of Trinisphere and Tangle Wire sound good.
2x Dack Fayden
4x Daretti, Scrap Savant

4x Faithless Looting
2x Flusterstorm
4x Force of Will
4x Thirst for Knowledge

4x Izzet Signet

4x Anger
4x Goblin Welder
4x Sundering Titan
3x Wurmcoil Engine

4x Ancient Tomb
2x Mountain
4x Seat of the Synod
4x Great Furnace
4x Volcanic Island
2x Cephalid Coliseum

>>49299977
Did you notice how the natural next step in this would just be "Why not just play insert MUD/Painter/actual established deck here*"

A lot of cards currently In are from heavy heavy budget constraints and I started to develop this from an idea of "How could I repeat jesters Scepter etb as many times as possible? Oh goblin welder is a card that can do that". So for all porpoises it is a pet deck that I plan to work and tinker with in a long run.

I hope that my unemployment will soon end so I can start to consider 10+ eurodollar cards over food
>>
>>49299794
I did some brewing of my own, based on Painter's Servant but with a Living Wish package to help assemble your combo. Maybe it will give you some ideas.

>>
>>49300970
you could srop the two painter's servants and the grindstone and swap the Imperial recruiters for Recruiter of the guard. That would drop the price by at least 1k.
>>
>>49300254
>Did you notice how the natural next step in this would just be "Why not just play insert MUD/Painter/actual established deck here*"
Yeah, but I didn't say to build any of those decks
I think RU welder would be awesome and it might be able to work, it'd just have to borrow some elements from more established decks. I think it can do a lot of stuff that Tezz or Mud can't and it could be explored
I missed the part about the budget, I can't really help there bc I don't think there's a cheap way to make the deck work
>>
>>49301048

You can't substitute Recruiter of the Guard for Imperial Recruiters, IR's search for power, RotG's search for toughness. Painter has a power of 1 and a toughness of 3.

Recruiter CAN work in Celphalid Breakfast though, as it can grab both creatures to get the combo off (and is in the right colors, Blue/White)

It's okay. I did say I was basing it off of a Painter list, so that might lead to a lot of confusion when I also said to swap recruiters.

Does any of you play Magic Online? How is it?

I played an UB Reanimator but the players here were total fucking ass and playing was just no fun at all so I quit 2 years ago. I don't like playing other formats and I miss Legacy. Is it worth it?
>>
>>49302151
It's cheaper than paper and enforces the rules, but unlike Cockatrice and XMage, you have to pay to play. Side note, but you played with people from /tg/? How bad are we talking?
>>
>>49302151
I play on mtgo and real life and I think it can be worth it. I can get a lot of reps in with my deck which is helpful. I don't do many tournaments, just the occasional league. Mostly I play in the tourney practice room. If you aren't going to play irl, mtgo is a good option since many decks are significantly cheaper

Nah, not people from /tg/. I live in Brazil and it was just a miserable experience because I kinda disrupted the huge circlejerk scene here. The guys playing all knew each other from many years ago (10+), so I came in with my brand new UB Reanimator deck and rekt everybody, winning the first tournament I attended to and from then on I could easily tell I was not welcome there. I kept going though because fuck them and the entire meta shifted into a huge anti-reanimator circlejerk, even though I always made sure to bring in new stuff and catch them off guard, so I managed to maintain a relatively high success rate.

There was a guy that got so fucking butthurt I beat him 2-0 once in a semifinal where he was 2-0ing everybody until he faced me he pretty much became my sworn enemy. Shit was just fucking pathetic. For reference, the last time we faced each other he was playing Pox and was trying to shit talk me throughout the whole match. I won the first game and on the second one I pulled the sole Sigarda I had in my sideboard and managed to reanimate her. He was so visibly mad he just got up, took all his cards and left the place without saying a single word. I absolutely loved those tears but it came to a point I didn't even know why was I even bothering going to this trash so I quit for good. I mean, it's a fucking game after all, and yet it felt like I was suddenly starring a new seasons of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime where everyone was super cereal about that shit. Fuck that noise.

I played a lot of Magic Duels lately but that thing is just so fucking buggy and unfinished it always turns out into a very frustrating experience to me, so I was wondering about Magic Online. A shame Reanimator seems to be getting shat on it seems though, I really liked the little thing.

>>49302237
I see, and how are the decks? Do most people have completely finished tier 1 decks or do you see your fair share of "make do" cards (Foil instead of FoW, shit dual lands, etc)?
>>
>>49302387
most of the decks are tier decks. you get the usual smattering of rogue decks and occasional bogus poo decks. but for example, Underground Sea is ~200 bucks in paper, and ~30 bucks on MTGO. so lots of people have complete decks. One or 2 decks are almost non-existent online due to things like pricing anomalies.

>>49302332
There's one more summoner's pact in the mail, but my updated lists haven't even been running it, so really I have all the parts I need to build the deck. And just in time for my LGS to start bi-weekly legacy...

>>49302665
Your main is pretty close to what I'm on. I need to do more testing with LDV to figure out how it affects the numbers of the other combo pieces, but I think your list is pretty good. As for the sideboard, I think you really need 3 Decay. I don't know about the Ad Naus/Tendrils plan. I'm not a huge fan of Leyline of the Void but it's fine if your meta calls for really strong grave hate.

7.5/10, sideboard drags it down a bit IMHO
