Greetings everyone.
With the rumored upcoming split of the Classic format on MTGO into Legacy and Vintage, and my continued dissatisfaction with the Extended format, I've decided to try my luck in the Legacy format.
I currently have a quite decent card pool for Extended, but own almost nothing older than Onslaught, so I can't afford to go and pick just about anything up (here's looking at you FoW). I therefore decided to try my luck with a fairly fun deck while getting to know the format.
Here's the list(s) I have so far:
INSIDIOUS FLOW.
Mana (23):
1 Blood Crypt (Badlands in time)
1 Stomping Ground (Taiga in time)
1 Overgrown Tomb (Bayou in time)
2 Bloodstained Mire (upgrading to 4 when I can)
2 Wooded Foothills (see above)
7 Forests
2 Mountains
4 Swamps
3 Chrome Mox (Mox Diamond seems the obvious upgrade, but can't afford it yet)
Dorks (17):
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Great Sable Stag
4 Sakura-Tribe Elder
4 Birds of Paradise
1 Draco
Fun (21):
2 Duress
3 Thoughtseize
2 Terminate
2 Diabolic Edict
3 Destructive Flow
3 Insidious Dreams
1 Erratic Explosion
3 Sensei's Diving Top
2 Umezawa's Jitte
Cards I'm looking at for this list:
Engineered Explosives/Pernicious Deed/Crime // Punishment (aka mr. Budget):
EE could be better as I can be selective with it. On the other hand Deed is awesome. Both are a bit pricy, though.
:frown:
HATE THE FLOW.
Mana (23):
1 Blood Crypt
1 Stomping Ground
1 Overgrown Tomb
2 Bloodstained Mire
2 Wooded Foothills
5 Forests
2 Mountains
2 Swamps
4 Wasteland/Ghost Quarter
3 Chrome Mox
Dorks (18):
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Great Sable Stag
4 Dark Confidant
4 Birds of Paradise
2 Burning-Tree Shaman (will ping me a bit due to the equipment, but seems like it could really hurt some decks)
Fun (20):
3 Duress
4 Thoughtseize
4 Winter Orb
2 Terminate
3 Destructive Flow
2 Umezawa's Jitte
2 Sword of Fire and Ice
Root Maze:
Could be good here, I guess. Still, seems a bit overkill with Winter Orb around.
Thorn of Amethyst:
Goes in the board for sure, I think, but considering to try it MD as well.
Help and constructive criticism is most welcome. Particularly in regards to sideboard choices (as my knowledge of the format is still somewhat limited). Oh, and I play 61 cards as it's my homage to/mockery of mr. Chapin.
Thanks in advance to those that can be bothered to help.
EDIT:
I actually thought I was posting in Cavius' Casual and Budget Forum, so I apologize for the mistake. Will try to poke an admin and have my thread moved.
