Hello all,
I've loved Trinity Green since Urza's/Masques Standard, and I was wondering if it is at all viable in Legacy. I threw together a deck the other day, and it seems to have pretty good matchups all around, although it's an uphill battle against Combo and Pernicious Deed. Here's the list:
Land (22)
15 Forest
4 Rishadan Port
2 Gaea's Cradle
1 Pendlehaven
Creatures (28)
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Fyndhorn Elves
4 Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary
4 Skyshroud Poacher
4 Masticore
3 Deranged Hermit
3 Imperious Perfect
1 Viridian Zealot
1 Eternal Witness
Other (10)
4 Chalice of the Void
3 Garruk Wildspeaker
3 Umezawa's Jitte
For the sideboard I've been using:
4 Viridian Shaman
1 Umezawa's Jitte
4 Trinisphere
3 Krosan Grip
3 ?
There are a few questions I'd like your guys' opinion on:
Should the deck splash a second color? Black springs to mind, as we have access to Thoughtseize, Duress, and Leyline of the Void.
Should I use Rofellos or Ancient Tombs? Rofellos is definitely awesome if left unchecked, but with Ancient Tomb fewer forest can be run, leaving room for a splash and/or Mishra's Factory (like Trinity Rock).
Rishadan Port or Wasteland?
Garruk's absolutely insane in this deck, as is Imperious Perfect. 4 Masticores might seem like a lot, but it's excellent against any creature deck (duh) and can block Tarmogoyf all day long as well as beating for 4.
Obviously the sideboard needs help...
Overall, Trinity Green is a fun and pretty powerful deck, but I haven't played it much in Legacy, so a lot more testing needs to be done.
