I (Zac Elsik) was on Death & Taxes (monoW). My opponents, in order, were on the following:

Fournier, Anthony - Lands
Nguyen, Daniel - Elves
Yost, Austin - Grixis Delver
Zollner, Matthew - Czech...

I've recently picked up this deck as of a couple weeks ago. I've always had a soft spot for Painter. One of my first legacy decks was mono-red painter, mostly all in on the combo with some...

Thanks, I didn't realize there was more than one painter deck discussion thread.

Top 4-ed and split a Legacy 1k today with 31 players. Was running Dragon Stax:

4 Ancient Tomb
4 City of Traitors
11 Mountain
1 Gemstone Caverns

3 Magus of the Moon
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
4...

While true, stranglehold isn't hit by the commonly played Abrupt Decay in many Elves lists. Their only answer is to hit that Rec Sage. But you may be right, I'll try both out. Thanks for the feedback...

I played your list tonight with a different sideboard. The main-deck I swapped 1 mountain for 1 gemstone caverns, and I cut another mountain to make it 60 cards MB. The sideboard i ran 2 Pyrokinesis,...

What decisions do you typically make when choosing between taking a mulligan or keeping? Are you basically looking for a fast Chalice/Moon-effect? Mox diamond seems a bit scary...

I'll be playing this at Louisville as well. I wanted to add more flex cards to my sideboard, but having trouble deciding what to cut. The lack of experience I have makes it hard for me to completely...

May I see your list?

I struggled for a good while coming up with a manabase that could consistently have access to blue mana for g1, as well as g2/g3 after sideboarding.

The list I played at GP Columbus can be found on the bottom of this page: http://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/gpcol16/legacy-lantern-with-zac-elsik-2016-06-12

I haven't worked out how I...

When the board state gets to a point where things are locked up I don't have to put much effort into doing anything, I watch them carefully. From my perspective, I know they can't do anything. They...

I considered and tried Spirit to bring in against decks win many cantrips or multi-draw effects. I wasn't impressed with it, but it's possible it may still be correct.

I wasn't really worried...

Agree with horrain on moxen topics. You don't really need this effect.

Brainstorm I tested and did not like. Then after many months I tried testing it again because, well, there's no way it's not...

Apologies. That's a good point. I'll be more direct.

So for the Lantern deck, if you create a situation where neither player gets to play magic, you *will* win the game. It's not because you and...

An aggro deck is known as a deck that wins by dropping opponent's life to 0 as quickly as possibly. A mill deck...

This isn't a mill deck. Playing crab in this deck is about as helpful as playing it in Miracles.

Unsure on Karakas. I dont think its necessary.

You don't need the two extra lanterns. For matchups with chalice i often side out both field of dreams. Swap one with an e tutor and the other with anything cheap. dont play more bridges, those are...

No i have not tested against D&T very much. The one-of P nodes is there to help against this. I expect a quick Energy Field will shut them down game 1 as soon as you needle Mangara.

I also want to...

Took the list to a weekly yesterday, -1 humilty +1 nevermore in the main, and a few random SB changes. Went 3-1 beating miracles twice, infect, and losing to reanimator.

Miracles was tense but I...

I found a new list that has been working well for me. The trick was to put Lantern as the supporting system in the deck, backing up the primary function of bridge / energy field.

2 Field of Dreams...

Hey Jeff, what do you feel is the weakest or least influential card in your take on the deck? Or list a couple of cards if one doesn't stand out.

For example, chalice is great in many matchups so...

scrapping the blue FoW based version for now. FoW and Brainstorm, while great legacy cards, do not synergize with this deck very well from testing. I switched to the sultai version for last night's...

I don't know if I want 3 vaults or less. I have to test to see what the right number is. I believe it's 2, but i dont have room in the main. I want to test all of the card choices first from the deck...
