I kind of see what you mean - after some testing, the "sacrifice creatures" plan is not good enough, so Culling / Shield Sphere / Intent need to be cut (or at least reduced to one or two copies)....

So, after a hiatus from Legacy I'm intrigued by this deck, and the possibility of a one-card-combo for four mana. However, there are some things I need to have in this deck, which is
a) Lion's Eye...

A new creature spoiled from the upcoming set. There are some lists floating around playing 20+...
Hmm, there are 15 cards in the deck that depend on Show and Tell/Omniscience, seems pretty high. And the Omni/Show targets look rather random and sometimes not even that powerful (Magister Sphinx?...
I really like the elegant solution of no "dead" winconditions in the maindeck at all. However, the difference between 3cc Show and Tell and 5cc Dream Halls is rather big in Legacy, and in my...
Congrats on making Day 2! Interested in hearing about your experience and the innovations you propose...
By the way, Omni Halls went 9-0 on Day 1 with three Cunning Wish:...
I've done some testing with mono-blue Omni Halls (without Cunning Wish), and I'm not all that convinced. Being able to follow up a countered Show and Tell with a hardcast Dream Halls is a strong...
3 Show + 4 Burning Wish to be precise, only one less than Sneak and Show. If the deck ran 4 Show and Tell and nothing else I'd highly doubt its consistency too :wink:. While Burning Wish is worse...
As I said before, a good number of decks have massive problems against a turn three Griselbrand (which I run as a four-of) or Emrakul (two-of), so it's not as if you HAVE to go for Omni to win a...
I think it's not that bad, though decks like RUG Delver are by no means an easy matchup. Remember that those decks only play four hard counters pre-board, and their taxing counters get worse every...
I feel a lot like that myself. My countersuite is 2 Misdirection 2 Spell Pierce 1 Flusterstorm 0 Daze as I don't really want to draw more than one of them, sometimes not even one. That's with both...
It's a tricky matchup for sure. A good Sneak player will try and quickly find a Griselbrand (and of course Sneak Attack), so I wouldn't really risk going off with only Omni + Burning Wish/Griselbrand...
I wanted to bring up a discussion on how to beat Sneak Show - the pseudo-mirror - with this deck. The problem is that they only need to resolve a two-card combo (Sneak/Through the Breach + creature)...
That's what I did, for pretty much the reasons you listed. No Dazes, two Spell Pierce (which might still be too much), one Flusterstorm and two Misdirection. In black-heavy metas it might be worth...
For what it's worth, I have played both and seem to do better with Omni. But I don't play it that much differently - for me Omniscience is just another option in addition to Griselbrand and Emrakul,...
Yea, I don't think Petals/Grapeshot is necessary anymore after Enter the Infinite. Maybe one Time of Need against Gaddock Teeg but then it's only one card right?
I also realized while testing that...
Those were the days...Deranged Hermit + Tradewind Rider combo...
Yesterday I played on MWS, first against someone with old-school Wildfire (Temporal Aperture, Phyrexian Processor etc) and then...
I'm not sure why this thread is rather dead. I've recently started testing Omni-Tell instead of Sneak Show, and am not convinced that the Sneak Attack version is actually better overall, with each...
If you want something tutorable you can actually cast and bring in for other matchups, it doesn't get better than Oblivion Ring. But if you REALLY want to beat Show and Tell and don't mind playing...
Thanks for the feedback. I've tested Packmaster a bit and it won some grindy matchups, but maybe a lord is better, though I'm still torn between Archdruid and Elvish Champion, as forestwalk is...
I've played the deck for some time now, but find myself wishing for a 3cc- or 4cc-creature which impacts the board state to fetch with Zenith when I can't afford the "big" targets, aka I'm not...
As someone who really goes out of his way to put Natural Order into various decks, I like your approach quite a lot. Arbor is a lot less vulnerable in a deck like that. The big problems would be the...
Thanks for the replies regarding Burning Wish. After some more testing, I'm really on the fence about Wish vs Attack. There are obviously situations where Attack is needed, but I've also had enough...
A few pages back there was a discussion on Burning Wish but I'd like to pick the topic up again. In my deck I play 3 Show and Tell 4 Wish 2 Sneak Attack essentially replacing the 2 Intuition and 2...
Eladamri's Vineyard!
Not competitive of course...
