I will readily concede that the combo matchup has always been one of this deck's weaknesses. I want to propose that this is in part a natural result of this deck's positioning within the major...
Are you referring to the list in the OP, the more aggressive build in post #18, or to the deck in general? What disruption package did you use and in what matchups did this become apparent?
...
Ok, fair enough. Pardon my suspicions.
I'm not sure about your second argument (wouldn't they pop Crypt in response, for example?). This would be a lot better if it came at instant speed.
The first...
Alternatively, you could play much less conditional removal like Terminate, Smother, Maelstrom Pulse or even Ghastly Demise if you thought the difference in manacost was worth it. That way, you...
Regarding Avatar, I don't think the problem ever was that we lacked sufficient GY-friendly cards to keep it in play. A much more severe problem seems to be the fact that it's rather worthless when...
Sure it could. The obvious question is in what sense that would make the deck better, i.e. more consistent, disruptive/aggressive and/or more resilient?
Yes, I've considered Liliana, and it...
I hate saying this, but I feel that this post was motivated by a severe misunderstanding of how this deck works and functions in actual gameplay.
First off, the Vengevine suggestion - it appeared...
Yes, fair point. To be honest, I haven't tested it, but my reasoning was basically:
If played, it should probably replace either Bloodghast or Basking Rootwalla. However,
- Both are (generally)...
Hey guys, what's up?
So, I've been toying around with updating the Wild Zombies lists of old, as I feel that certain cards printed in the last couple of years really add to the archetype (most...
While I'm not really out to argue for the sake of argueing, I do feel that a careful analysis of the various arguments and lines of reasoning could help improve both the deck and our (my)...

I'm rather busy today, will get back sometime tonight with a complete reply to your last post.
Meanwhile..
[SPOILER ALERT]...
Are you advocating 18 lands including Wastelands? This seems to weaken the manabase much further, appearing to lead either to colorscrew or lack of artifact lands, depending on how you work it.
I'm...
Thanks, and yeah I understand the reasoning. It's just that if either is better, I'd probably want to run it as a 4-off, or possibly a 3/1 split. However, Kuldotha into either one doesn't really...
Hey guys, whatsup?
So, I'm seriously considering getting back into Legacy after a 4 year break from Magic. Having always loved and often played Stax and it's various derivatives, I feel like it...
Whatever it is that you've been smoking, I want some of that!
You're right. Lets start a petition!
You don't. What you do is watching them spend resources on finding, playing and protecting answers to Welder, while you just play the regular control game. Eventually, you will either get a Welder to...
Well, I'm not actively playing this anymore. But then again, I hardly play any Magic at all these days, since I just don't own any cards anymore.
Anyway, in case you're interested, here's my...
Hmm.. interesting.. Maybe we can work with this Storm thing... Let's see how we can improve your list.
Looking at your list, your goal is obviously to generate as much mana as possible within the...
It's not been that great so far. If it would be, I wouldn't doubt about this slot that much. I've considered Hypnox, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's more useful than Palinchron. I'll test this...
I. Introduction
So, while I don't actually play Magic regularly anymore, I still enjoy the occasional deckbuilding challenge. Some time ago I started toying around with FEB.
FEB, for those who...
Except that when you find AdN without Intuition, you've just screwed up your average CMC completely by adding 4 3CC cards.
Yeah, we're still running 3 Shackles besides the Painter+Stone, it's never been one or the other.
Actually, the same thing kinda applies to Slaver:
"I'm not intending on Welding stuff into play. That's not the gameplan. But if the pieces fall into place, then awesome, we can go to town. The...
