mistercakes posted a few lists on the previous page.
mistercakes: did you ever try out Guttersnipe out of the SB in the Underworld Breach lists? Having a GY based G1 strategy, then taking out GY...
Not 100% true.
Most of the Legacy player base seems to favor Grixis midrange/control over Sultai midrange/control currently.
I personally see this more as a "flavor of the month" thing in the...
True-Name Nemesis and Shardless Agent are powerful cards from Sultai control/midrange colors you had left out. Not all of the BUG stuff in your list really compliments each other in the same shell,...
"Traditionally" in the Oozing strategy, Buried Alive (Necrotic Ooze, Triskelion and Phyrexian Devourer) + Reanimate targetting Necrotic Ooze will win the game on the spot without even going into...
Grenzo, Dungeon Warden seems to have grindy creature based synergy with Gyrus. For some MtG formats, you could probably build a card advantage engine around them.
My initial thought was Gyrus x=0, next turn attack, with trigger on the stack cast Entomb, get Gigantomancer, swing for 14 using 2B mana (Entomb + 2x Gigantomancer activation). But that's still far...
Gyrus is a "Jund" 3 mana 3/3 creature which generates additional damage and potentially card advantage (e.g. via EtB or leaves battlefield triggers) every time it attacks, and has a "virtual kicker"...
1) What BU has over BR is access to Show and Tell and Arcane Artisan post SB to go around grave hate (other than Containment Priest, but Arcane Artisan goes around that as well). That and FoW to...
Has Blood Sun been discussed post DRS and Probe ban? Seems like we have a bunch of flex slots md, so why not run at least a 1-of? It draws a card, gets cheaper with rocks, and can randomly destroy an...
If you want to profit from card disadvantage, you should be running Ensnaring Bridge somewhere in the 75. But that trick is better suited for either Helm-RiP-Line combo or SnT-Omniscience-Griselbrand...
Long time Monored Stompy player here. I don't own a set of Food Chains yet, but I feel like maybe it's time for me to make the purchase soon.
Here's my take on the list you had submitted earlier...
Personally, I like Wear // Tear instead of running Abrupt Decay + Reverent Silence because Wear // Tear hits both enchantments and artifacts. What I mean is, in Br shell you don't have the blue...
You are missing that Leyline of the Void is cmc4.
I used to play a grixis build of the deck with Thoughtseize and Burning Wish back at the time before Tresure Cruise was printed. Wasteland was hugely popular back then in RUG delver, BUG delver, BUR...
Colorless:
Dark Depths + Thespian Stage (+ Vampire Hexmage)
Quiksilver Amulet
Nevinyrral's Disk
Red:
Chaos Warp
Confusion in the Ranks (triggers itself when EtB)
Stronghold Gambit
Sneak...
I agree that Grixis has access to a lot of toys, and toys are nice. However, the weakness of running a Grixis manabase is exposing yourself to a lot of nonbasic land hate. Wasteland, Blood Moon, Back...
Draw 7 vs 14 also depends on what you get in first 7. What you are lopking for is a second fatty to cleanup discard and animate without life loss next turn, or enough mana accel to hardcast it. If...
This is the biggest difference in my eyes: you don't need to run a Monastery Mentor package in the SB because hardcasting Magus in g2 is actually a solid plan B, and we can already do that with MD...
What are your thoughts about Magus of the mind? seems like post Griselbrand win more to me. Has it ever been good for you as the first animation target? Seems like a lottery machine without storm.
Borderline German highlander playable target. Not good enough in Legacy. Three cards is expensive compared to e.g. Inkwell Leviathan, Iona on opponent's removal color or Archtype of Endurance.
If...
Thunderbreak Regent has better utility against removal since it triggers also from exiling and bouncing. Also +1 toughness.
Territorial Hellkite has the haste it's missing. Also higher stats AND...
Various tools from various colors:
Gamble
Grim Tutor
Living Wish
Eladamri's Call
Impulse
Lim-Dul's Vault
Intuition
Recruiter of the Guard
What I was trying to say was that ebven in that scenario, you would rather
B.Wish to get another SnT from wishboard -> SnT
rather than
B.Wish to get Flood of Recollection from Wishboard ->...
Etali, Primal Storm. Magical Christmas land card of extra turn with Emrakul. Too bad top is banned and we don't run a brainstorm/sylvan library -like effect for setting it up.
Potential 1-of in an...
