Quoted for truth. Wasteland in Landstill isn't worth the slots.



Why. I don't see where you're coming from.

@Adan - Have you considered Exploration? I've found it hard to lose games...

Back when I played Landstill and there were Legacy events near me, I could not beat burn either. What I had to do was play Counterbalance with one Enlightened Tutor main and a C.O.P.:Red out of the...

This.

While I believe Landstill should be designed with a mainboard for dominating creature decks, if you want to play a version that's more versatile and less dominating against creature decks, here's...

Fact or Fiction is your endgame card. It doesn't matter if you only get two cards from it because it's the two cards you want/need. It digs five deep and punishes ignorance. It almost always gets...

Landstill is traditionally bad against combo game one. Unless you played cheaper countermagic or Counterbalance, your matchup isn't going to noticabely improve. Because the majority of decks in...

Gustha, let me explain a little better. When I say Elspeth sucks, it's because she costs four in a format dominated by two drops. She only makes a 1/1 token every turn and, if you're not under...

Wow. If you don't get that Humility is awesome in Landstill, I don't get why you play the deck. Elspeth sucks. She's only good when something like Humility is in play. Decree sucks. It's so...

This is the list I'm playing right now and why:

4 Force of Will
3 Spell Snare
3 Counterspell
4 Brainstorm
3 Standstill
2 Fact or Fiction
4 Swords to Plowshares
2 Path to Exile

This is ridiculous. Throughout different parts of a game, different cards serve you better. Obviously, Fact or Fiction is one of the worst cards to draw before turn six. The effect it has upon...

Hey, Chris. I like your list. The only problem I see with it is the lack of win conditions. I found that Landstill has a hard time losing but also a hard time winning. A couple tournaments ago, I...

I don't know why Landstill players are trying to find silver bullets in the mirror.

1) You would have to board at least two to reliably get it during the mid-game where you want to cast such a...

You can't target Duress with Misdirection. Duress says:

Target opponent reveals his or her hand. You choose a noncreature, nonland card from it. That player discards that card.

You would have...

I wouldn't cut the Wastelands but the Mishra's Factories definitely go. I tried Landstill without Standstill and Mishra's Factories and really like it a lot. I played two Thirst for Knowledge,...

That's fine. Then they're not hitting my Engineered Explosives, Sensei's Divining Top, Crucible of Worlds, Vedalken Shackles or Humility (and Back to Basics if I can decide what to cut in the...

Not to make this thread about bannings but it would be asinine to ban Top and/or Counterbalance. Just because it beats up on bad players or players who can't think outside of the box doesn't mean it...

Counterbalance isn't an end-all strategy in Landstill. It simply gives you that staying power that other options don't give you. It's relatively simple to find a converted casting cost and hold it...

My sideboard has Chalice in it specifically for combo. My combo "package" is 1 Chalice of the Void, 2 Duress and 4 Counterbalance. For reference, here's my list:

4 Force of Will
3 Counterspell...

You guys that keep cutting Counterspell are really ballsy. Legacy is a relatively random format and you can't really depend on a narrower permission spell like Spell Snare to be your only other...

@ Mossivo - I didn't think of Jace. He actually sounds really good.

About Enlightened Tutor, I know how strong it is because I mainboard one with a Crucible, Moat and Vedalken Shackles. ...

I agree with the above poster; Enlightened Tutor in the board is a horribly inefficient use of two tutors.

I've been thinking of cutting a Standstill for a Fact or Fiction. I've come to think...

Citrus-God beat me to it. I don't care if my singleton Enlightened Tutor is card disadvantage because the cards I'm getting with it are so dominant to the board state that I'll be reaping insane...

Is there a reason that Cunning Wish is played over Enlightened Tutor in the mainboard? Right now, I'm running one Enlightened Tutor with a Vedalken Shackles, Moat and Crucible. Is Cunning Wish...

I don't think Ichorid will be played in large numbers because Goblins should be out in force.

Landstill-esque decks will probably be floating around but the successful ones won't be regular...
