....The deck looks like a Deadguy's Ale deck but it isn't quite as there are no Duress, and Land Destruction (besides Vindicate). The plan used to be in the Deadguy's category but I have made it my own by going with my gut over the net decker's word of "go with goyf, stick with the club. Don't even try try anything new." With my gut I have been able to win a few games with the Korlashs in the board. Earlier before FS and Lorwyn, when I was still tinkering with the tech I figured that Sword of F/I was way better than Jitte when everyone was like "oh go with Jitte it's better than,that Sword. Who plays with Sword anymore anyway?"
Then just recently I have noticed that lots of places are in selling the Sword of F/I at $15 or more USD after finally realizing that it is a really good card that gives the player more cards. I don't know what just happened but I assume that the rest of the masses finally caught onto the minority's idea of how good the card actually is in the long run over Jitte.
Anyway, I later learn of Korlash and what goodies you could do with the card in under powered formats. Once the results came back on how good it was I then picked up a few copies for myself to see if it would fair nice in Legacy. Although I am yet to see how it will fair against the major field as it was only tested against a Red Sligh deck and a Mono Black Aggro deck which isn't that large, as I know it might just have that edge against Combo and most Control decks. Can't say the same against Aggro as I haven't tested against a lot of the meta as most of my Legacy crowd is in Berkeley CA or is extremely small here over other places where there must be 20 or more people to test a lot of decks ($7 worth of Travel just to travel from SF to Berkeley).
I'd like to hear from you people other than "oh it looks like a Deadguy's deck".
