Is the black red reanimator deck that is putting up results at tournaments and online actually good or just a meme? I have been thinking about putting a reanimator deck together and was just going to go with the standard UB build but the BR just keeps getting more popular. Could it be better than the classic build?
>>
>>49946326
Reanimator in any of its forms is extremely powerful. The B/R versions and Tin fins versions bump the power level slightly but give up huge amounts of protection and selection(force/daze and brainstorm respectively).

Is giving up blue cantrips and countermagic a good idea?

No, if you have access to Underground seas play blue, if not you can win games with B/R, but its not a better deck.
>>
>>49945872

I'm doing the same thing. I'm basically unloading most of my extra cards I've picked up over the years from playing limited to Card Kingdom and seeing if I can get a playset of Force of Wills.

I was actually shocked to see how high some of the prices had climbed on cards like Glimpse of the Unthinkable.

>>49946428
Ok, but there must be some reason that BR had such an increase in popularity. It seems faster, so does that make it better against certain decks/a different meta?

With regards to the blue build, is hapless researcher worth running? I feel like I would rather just have ponder in that slot. And is collective brutality good enough to replace mainboard thoughtseizes?

Sometimes, if I see my opponent runs no exile removal, slamming Tezzeret and animating Darksteel Citadel to an indestructible 5/5 just does the job.

Coercive portal for early card drawing, since the deck relies a lot on top decking. That's about it for what I know, the main deck is pretty tight for current plan and eldrazi just made it kinda obsolete by being more efficient for mana.

>>49944239
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/13-03-16-ddft/

That list is my basic list. The main deck collective brutality could just be another duress depending on your meta. That sideboard is pretty specific to a meta of strictly combo, miracles and dnt, so you can tweak it. As for how aggressive you should be, depends a bit on the matchup. DDFT may be slightly slower than ANT, but you can push a turn 2 kill pretty easily, and against a deck like burn that's your best bet. Other matchups you look to wait as long as possible. However, you need to be more conservative with can trips than when playing ANT. Your can trips are effectively potential combo pieces, so think very carefully before you fire one off.

Generic deadguy brew #3646473

Did I do anything full retard?
>>
>>49953598
I don't see a ton of advantage to be gained by going 3 colors except abrupt decay and a marginally improved reanimator/dredge g1 matchup. I also think you should play lingering souls and more cabal therapies.
>>
>>49953697
Cutting down to BW is spooky, but, hell, I'll take it. Bump up to 4x of each and go from there?
>>
>>49953741
Worth testing. I've never really played dead guy but cabal therapy is a great card and your aren't getting good value out of it in this list since you want your creatures to stick around. Souls has good synergy with therapy and lili. I'd consider adding a 3rd lili. Cold even fuck with something like sinkhole if you want to try something new.
>>
>>49953848
I'd probably bump up to four wastelands if I was going to go for land destruction. Has synergy with deathrite, allows me to wasteland t3 and still let me play a Lilli.

I'm losing Grim Flayer (obviously) with cutting down to BW, but part of me feels like that isn't too bad. I might wanna experiment with another creature in that slot, maybe new Thalia. Losing abrupt decay is scary, Vindicate just seems much, much, worse. Overall, BW seems like less of a drastic change than I expected.
>>
>>49954878
Actually vindicate isn't much worse. It can destroy lands and shit. Fuck sinkhole. 3 mana should be fine with all your other cheap disruption

>>49953598
Allow me.

First off, this deck is really hard to get right because it's so... Toolboxy? There's no right way to build it, but like most decks it has a couple key cards you want to automatically include.

Max out on Hymns and cut Cabal Therapy entirely; Deadguy doesn't have the synergy to maximize that discard spell. We care less about creatures than spells so you can comfortably replace Therapy with Duress. This gives you free reign to look at their whole hand AND pick anything you want, rather than trying to figure out what MIGHT stop you and hoping to snag it. Cabal Therapy is much, much stronger in decks where key cards straight-up stop their combos or in decks like Delver where they can be abused with Young Pyromancer.

I use pseudodiscard in the form of Hypnotic Specter because he sticks around and flies. Your opponent is going to feel bad wasting a Bolt or a Swords on a 2/2 Flyer but the point is they HAVE to or you will easily run away with the game on the back of card advantage.

You need to add 1 Karakas and 1 BG land. Karakas is going to save your ass ten times before Sunday, whether it's against Iona or Emrakul or Griselbrand. A BG land (Bayou or Overgrown Tomb) will give your Deathrites access to green against creature decks, giving you inevitability or at least lastability. If you can, replace Windswepts with Bloodstained Mires.

I use Dark Rituals to power out those turn 1 Hymns and Sinkholes. I only run 1 Liliana, but I can't call you out for running 3 Lilis and no Rituals. I would cut back on Stoneforges though, maybe run 3 or 2 instead of the playset. She's better in a Stoneblade deck where they have counters, etc.

tl;dr it needs work, but this is such a flexible and brew-worthy deck that you can get away with almost anything. Haven't tested Lingering Souls before.

+4 Sinkholes
+2 Hymns
+4 Duress
-4 Cabal Therapy
-2 Stoneforge
-4 Thoughtseize

Good choice in decks bro

>>49955303
>hypnotic specter
Woah. Is... Is legacy slow enough to allow for Hypnotic Specter? I used to play The Gate a lot, your version of the deck is sounding a lot like it.

I'm not certain about cutting thoughtseize, but I'm used to playing modern decks where t1 thoughtseize was pretty much THE play. Is Duress really that good over Thoughtseize? Is Thoughtseize worth a sideboard slot?

I'll have empty slots for Dark Rituals, it could be nice to pop three in instead of the Vindicates I'm currently running.

Overall, I'm seeing a lot of different flavors of Deadguy, which makes sense considering what you said. The ones on the Source mostly seem like Rock-With-A-Lower-Curve, effectively. Yours seems more like Suicide Black/Pox/The Gate/MBA/You get the idea.

I'll tool around with the manabase, run your version, and then come back after some test games.
>>
>>49957693
Keep Vindicate; I run a playset in my list but that's probably too many. I have 2 Thoughtseize in the side. I feel like my build is more based on denying the opponent card advantage and mana whereas yours is more a midrange mix with Stoneforges and Lilianas. I mean, I've got full playsets of Hymn, Sinkhole, Dark Ritual and Vindicate in the main. It's a pretty pox-ish list I suppose.
>>
>>49957693
>but I'm used to playing modern decks where t1 thoughtseize was pretty much THE play.

That's because Modern needs to hit either Creatures or Planeswalkers, wereas Legacy you need to hit instants/artifacts.

At least, that's been my experience.
>>
>>49958001
Thoughtseize hits everything, though, and in a two-color deck the life loss shouldn't matter too much.
>>
>>49958819
I feel like the only decks that need to be playing duress over thougtseize are combo decks that care about their life total, like ant. thoughtseize should be fine in any midrange deck.
>>
>>49958987

I've heard from people who play Pox say Thoughtseize is borderline unplayable in the deck due to the life loss.
>>
>>49959412
Thoughtseize sees plenty of play in pox events.
>>
>>49959655
*pox decks.
>>
>>49959412
I just looked at mtgtop8 and the first 5 or so lists have 1-4 in the main

pox isn't exactly what I was thinking of when I said "midrange deck," although I will concede that my two categories of that and "combo decks like ant" was not a good representation of the format. I was thinking t1 thoughtseize t2 sfm/goyf.
>>
>>49959412
Thoughtseize is good in most cases, Pox is one of the few decks that considers running Inquisition however. Duress is for sideboards or maindecks in combo decks.
>>
>>49951410
The lack of large tournaments has led to an atypical DTB section this quarter.

>>49953570
Also this. The Source is a source of shit ideas.
>>
>>49958001
>That's because Modern needs to hit either Creatures or Planeswalkers, wereas Legacy you need to hit instants/artifacts.
>At least, that's been my experience.

You're right on the money. Although, these days with the more creature-heavy decks running around make Thoughtseize an even better option.

Personally I still prefer Cabal Therapy for most decks but for more traditional Midrange straight discard is the stronger option.

Depends on who's posting. Lots of stuff from there's really good, but it's worth it to test things before just jamming them because Someone on the Internets said it'd be a good idea.

I've seen (and proposed) some great and terrible plans.
>>
>>49959412

Pox has two major problems.

The first is that if your opponent sticks more than one creature for a turn or two, you're SOL.

The second is that you genuinely need to worry about keeping up with your opponent regarding life-total, especially if they manage to stick a threat. There are ways to get around this, and the deck's got some arbitrarily great matchups against decks that want to have cards in hand or don't necessarily try to put more than one creature on the board at a time (Storm, Infect, Delvers), but generally I don't think Pox is all that strong, at least at this point.

I was scared of it back when I ran double-Petition in my storm list, but since I switched to double-Past in Flames, I've not had problems with it (at least, not in my small local meta).
>>
>>49961550
Fair point. People do suggest dumb shit, but there certainly are a couple decent posters
>>
>>49962250

I think a lot of it depends on the thread; I feel like people are more willing to help and/or more interested in talking about what works and what doesn't in certain places than in others.

Really, though, it's a prison deck. That may or may not fall under the "control" archetype.
>>
>>49963943
>>49964004

jund is control, because it has liliana
storm is control, because you discard stuff to therapy
burn is control, because you can't cast spells when you're dead

glad we went over that /tg/
>>
>>49964041
You still haven't said what you'd classify it as.
Hell it's literally listed as control on mtgs. So please can you give an alternative to what you'd classify it as?
>>
>>49964076

the deck is very... proactive about getting creatures out and tries to avoid interaction with mother of runes, vial, karakas, flickerwisp

it's very... aggressive about playing threats that cut or tax your resources so it can kill you with less resistance

it struggles if the opponent breaks out and gets going or deals with its threats, has to play topdeck mode for the entire game making it get considerably weaker the longer the game drags on

idk sounds control to me
>>
>>49964145
So aggro?
>>
>>49964145
Thalia = Force spike
Phyrexian revoker = counters spell with activated abilities
Mother of Runes = Counter target spell that targets creatures you control
Karakas = Unsummon

... so a control deck
>>
>>49964145
It's main play though is to meme you to death by killing all your lands or keeping you at like 3 mana with a Thalia out to deny you wipes.
Resource denial sounds very control to me.
>>
>>49964194

>Phyrexian revoker = counters spell with activated abilities
>Mother of Runes = Counter target spell that targets creatures you control

I am legit shocked if this is really how you think about magic
>>
>>49964194
Thought-Knot Seer = Counter target spell in hand
Reality Smasher = Counter target spell in hand when targeted
Is eldrazi stompy "control"?
D&T is arguably not an aggro deck, as it does not simply try to overrun the opponent before they can combo out. Their creature suite is tuned for preventing the opponent from playing their game, which is what control/prison is about. The difference being that D&T's win-con happens to be turning those lock elements sideways.
>>
>>49964609
Burn is a control deck.

Aside from /tg/, I lurk mostly /fit/, /r9k/ and /vg/ (Dota 2 general). I tend to stay away from /mu/, even as a musician, because that board is hostile as fuck. And porn boards.

>>49967055

A big problem in the DTBs is that they often fail to combine categories for the same deck. They finally started combining "Berserk Stompy" with "Infect," but they sometimes forget to total that with "Berserk Poison." There are three separate categories for ANT: "Ad Nauseam Tendrils," "Storm," and "Ant" (and sometimes "Ad Nauseam Storm" or "Ad Nauseam").

So oftentimes the decks listed don't actually tally up properly; if you read the DtBs, make sure you are really discerning and that you check their work.

Regarding the argument over how to classify D&T, I tend not to think too much in terms of the "deck archetypes" when I think about Legacy. A lot of them don't really apply, or any given deck will qualify as two or three of the three categories of "aggro," "combo," and "control." "Midrange" means nothing, even outside Legacy.

I'd probably call D&T aggro-control, but I tend to lump prison strategies (and tempo, for that matter) in with control more broadly. Different strokes.

I used to go to a lot more boards than I do now. /tg/ is really the only one anymore, and I wouldn't likely be here if it weren't for the Legacy General.
>>
>>49965794
D&T is a control deck and I won't stop till he admits it or I get bored.
>>
>>49965794
/b/ because I hate myself and memes
/tv/ because memes
/co/ because sometimes it's comfy, but lately it's been pure cancer
/sp/ to shitpost when my sports teams win
/lit/ because despite the fact that their heads are permanently embedded into their collective rectums they do know a fair bit about literature and can recommend tasty contemporary American fiction
/tg/ because this general exists. Thank you guys for being a real example of what a general should be.

Dang, was not aware of that at all! I've only started playing Legacy consistently within the past 6 months after reading stuff on here and mtgggoldfish. Only found about mtgthesource over the past three months.

>I'd probably call D&T aggro-control, but I tend to lump prison strategies (and tempo, for that matter) in with control more broadly. Different strokes.

I can see the logic behind that, it's always the three archetypes aggro - control - combo and then you can further look into each archetype of subtypes being draw-go and then prison, so on and so forth.


Also, midrange is a meme

Elves. I'm having real issues with omniscience doing ridiculous work for them even in response to ashen rider / reclam sage triggers.
I can't bring in krosan grip because if it's emmy (or emmy after omniscience) I auto-lose, If I bring in an Emmy just for the matchup I auto-lose to omniscience.
Show&Tell is juuuust fast enough that killing them before they go off isn't an option either,
The matchup is also waaaaay too common to just accept it as a real bad / borderline unwinnable one, if I just had something really specific to say "fuck you omniscience" that would be the best thing ever.

Well, you can also tap it the turn it comes into play, which is a good benefit.

>>
>>50003564
If you're really interested in storm but can't afford the duals and LEDs, it's a good option. My experience with it is pretty limited, but it kills more reliably and is more flexible than plain ol' sacred land tendrils. It eats a dick to wasteland decks, so if your meta is all dnt, all the time, you'll eat many dicks. But if you're interested in DDFT it's a good budget starting point. It will get you in the mindset to play the real thing.

Any tips for playing with the saclands?
>>
Why miracles doesn't why manlands ?
>>
>>50006505
They cost too much mana and aren't fetchable, maybe a hard control deck could use them but it doesn't fit the usual miracles game plan
>>
>>50006339
Don't bother playing around wasteland I guess? I don't think the lands themselves make much difference except that the mana base is worse. You don't sac them til you're combing out anyway.
>>
So i've cut the one Void Snare from my sideboard in TES and i've decided to go with a spicy copy of Telemin Performance in the side. Also added in 2 Chain of Vapor as well for the universal bounce spell, it's not something I can get with Burning Wish but I don't think Leyline of Sanctity is abound everywhere anymore. I think this kinda helps with the reanimator matchup and against certain decks I can literally win by making them deck themselves as they mill every card(Lands). I'm slowly getting better with the deck!~
>>
>>50006733
I love telemin performance. So spice. It's always in my Belcher board. I tried it in the board for DDFT but it was so spicy I never actually cast it.
>>
Is cathartic reunion seeing any play in any legacy dredge builds? it's been fucking nuts in modern
>>
>>50006982

It's a really weird line to go into but if you hit a Griselbrand or Iona against Reanimator you're guaranteed to have 7 more cards again or a lock on them.
>>
>>50007052

Not sure. I don't imagine so because Dredge often has to run off of one land in Legacy. Great card, but probably not fast enough to be worth it. The other problem is that it competes with such stellar material in Legacy; Breakthrough and Careful Study are significantly better.
>>
>>50007123
That's what I was thinking at first but the discarding as part of the cost is huge
>>
>>50007063
Yeah it just never came up. Almost any time I could wish and expect the wished-for card to resolve against decks where it was relevant, I could just win with doomsday. I eventually cut ETW from the board for the same reason. If I knew I was going into meta full of relevant decks, it might find its way back in.
>>
>>50003190
that's budget, right?
>>
>>50006505
Doesn't really need them, and taplands are really awkward
>>
>>50008762
"Yes"

Depends on your price range. Me, I can only afford Burn and Dredge. Anything with Underground Sea in it is bound to be real expensive. Miracles and Stoneblade are both around $2300-$2500.

What should I take to the SIB 2k this weekend? Miracles or Grixis Delver?
>>
>>50010621
Grixis delver is cooler, but miracles is probably better.
My vote is for Grixis.

Win a Volcanic this weekend. Still have no clue what I'm playing.
>>
>>50006583
>>50008929
>>50009043

Speaking of Miracles, do they really need the volcanics? I get that engineered explosives are better with them, but wouldn't steam vents suffice?
>>
>>50014603
This is bait right? I mean feel free to use volcanic if you want to buy Duals are strictly better than shocks
>>
>>50014678
Of no question about which lands are superior. This is just a matter of budget. I don't really feel like spending upwards of $1200 on lands that aren't seemingly essential for the deck. Obviously the deck wouldn't function without tundras, but Volcanics inclusions aren't so obvious.
>>
>>50014718
You could just go U/W miracles, don't necessarily need the red splash

Let's get some new posts going.
What was the sneakiest and spiciest play you lost to?
I was playing Cnadian against Imperial Painter and the painter player only had Welder and Grindstone on board. I hardly played against the deck and he surprised me with an activation, hold priority, welder in Painter's Servant, saccing Grindstone for the win. I was bamboozled.
>>
>>50014949
isn't welder worded explicitly to prevent that sort of thing with the whole both targets legal as the ability resolves clause
>>
>>50014023
Went 1-3 drop. Deck bricked pretty hard on me, won game 1 in the first three rounds but faced Delver in 4th round and got dunked 0-2. Feels bad bro.
>>
>>50016039
It should work, you activate grindstone, hold priority and use the welder to sac grindstone to get servant back. Then the grindstone activation resolves and mills everything.
>>
>>50014023
Play dredge. You're dredge guy. You play dredge.
>>
>>50016915
I see, I got it backwards, thought grindstone was done in response to welder not the other way around. Pretty tricky.

>>50016942
But what if I wanted to play a different deck

>>50017270
You know, at least when I play I can't outright cheat my way into a win. The benefits of playing linear decks like Burn and Dredge is that they are stupidly hard to cheat with unless you can stick two cards together with Dredge and your opponent doesn't notice.

But WHY do people feel the need to cheat? It directly robs you of any feelings of success or conquest you might have had if you won. There is no feeling like winning a hard-fought game. Cheating just to get the W is just straight feelsbadman into your veins. I don't get it.
>>
>>50018926
Yeah, I fucking hate cheaters and don't see the point. I honestly find it sad that people are so desperate to win and get praise that they have to cheat, but hey they usually only end up robbing themselves
>>
>>50018266

Chain of Vapor.

>>50017261

Put the Drills to them. Medium-style.

Also, the gif in >>50018926 might be the greatest thing in the history of things.

>>50018099

I think they don't really care whether there's a camera. They just want to win, and I think there's a definite habit that forms in people who do it whereby they repeatedly get away with it to the point that they don't think they can. I don't think the record of it (i.e. footage) changes anything.

>>50014603

There's really no reason to run shocklands in Legacy. unless you're a Belcher player who's balling out of control.

The main uses for the Volc in Miracles, as far as I can tell, are to power Wear'n'Tear and Blood Moon. If you think you can do without those (I think you probably can, but I've never played Miracles), there's no reason to go into red.
>>
>>50020161
Honestay I think there is very little reason to run a taiga in belcher. The 2 life almost never matters. Why spend 80 bucks on a taiga when 400 will get you a Russian foil Stomping Ground?
>>
>>50004304
Different guy, but SacLands Doomsday actually seems really cool. I already have SacLands Tendrils built, what modifications would you recommend to fit in the doomsday package?
>>
>>50020266
well I'm no expert on the deck but you need Doomsday instead of Dark Petition and PiF or whatever Sacland Tendrils is playing these days. Usually Sac Land Doomsday plays fewer eggs or none at all, although I'm not sure SLT even plays the eggs still. Also, unlike DDFT, which uses Ideas Unbound, SLDD probably needs Meditate and Infernal Contract because making UU can be difficult without Lion's Eye Diamond. Also, I think SLDD is more mana-hungry than SLT.
>>
Time for me to admit it: I'm tired of running linear budget decks. I'm ready to branch out and try something new and exciting.

So, do I build ANT Storm or Deadguy?
>>
>>50021204
Build DDFT
>>
>>50021204

DDFT and ANT share a whole lot of the same parts. Depends on whether you like living dangerously and learning Doomsday piles or trying to figure out how to get ten spells out of a three- or four-card hand.

Deadguy Ale is probably in a much better position now than in years, but I don't know whether it's worth it to go that direction. I think you've probably got more useable pieces for Storm/Doomsday, though it looks like Wizards is doing its darndest to kill the decks.

I still do pretty good with the deck most nights despite that. I have no idea how. My opponents always stall out and can't find combo pieces even though they goldfish perfectly 9/10 times

Atleast most of the deck transfers over to modern junk so I can make a few changes and play at modern night too

Top 8 Legacy for Eternal weekend, soon on twitch.
>>
>>50026321
Do you have a list? I wanna compare junk blade to Esper Stoneblade, sounds neat.
>>
This isn't a Legacy deck, but I was wanting some input on what should be cut or added to make it better.
>>
>>50027003
going off memory here because I don't have my cards with me

4x DRS
4x stoneforge
4x tarmogoyf
3x bob
3x lingering souls

3x lotv

4x abrupt decay
3x STP
1x toxic deluge
1x council's judgment

2x inquisition
2x thoughtseize

1x batterskull
1x SOFI
1x jitte

2x sylvan library

21x lands (2x of duals, 1x of each basic, singleton karakas, 2x wasteland, fetches)

SB is something like
2x duress
2x hymn
2x choke
1x pithing needle
2x containment priest
2x surgical extraction
2x thalia
1x toxic deluge

that's only 14, I'm blanking on the last card

It's an alright deck despite people parroting that the blue version is better.
More surprised by jeskai eldrazi, anyone have a decklist?

It's meant to make people suffer for doing basic shit in the game. Like playing it. It amuses me.

>>50027991
Why thanks. I still feel like it's missing something though. And I just don't know what. Maybe just Lightning Bolts, but I don't know if anything else might be more beneficial.
>>
>>50025862
Burn.
>>
>>50028011
Nahiri and Control. That's the entire deck.
>>
>>50028011

>>50028079
You should cut the world fires and seething songs and maybe spellshock and play eidolon of the great revel and bolt.
>>
>>50028088
Most of the time, a good burn deck is a coin toss. So, pretty fair.

But, in time Chandra the Mind Sculpter might prove to tipping that scale in the future.

>>50020215
There are lots of scenarios where it matters, sketchy keeps vs burn, grove+marit lage, delver needing to attack six times instead of seven when you're rebuilding after fow, making storm's life easier.
>>
>>50028116
Eidolon Revel is easier to get rid of than Spellshock. And I'm thinking about adding in a playset of Lightning Bolts. We'll have to see. And Worldfire is a game ender if I O-Ring one of my ping enchantments.
>>
>>50028157
The only reason Sol Rings are in the deck is because of the competitive level of my group. Any deck that can benefit from Sol Rings gets them.

That's because your opponents are bad.
