This is a fair point.

Man why is it that white is the color of rule-setting and it's the only one that doesn't have a way to punish nonbasics. I mean aside from the fact that blue gets everything...

Yeah O-Rings would be maindeck Pithing Needles if not for SnT. Maybe they should be anyway, dunno.

Hm. Not but that is a thought. I could cut Kor Havens for Wastelands and squeeze a Crucible or two in the main. Or maybe one main one side. One problem is that there's nothing else for the deck to do...

I'm not recommending this list yet for anyone but here's an update report, having tested this list a bit and gotten some successes with it at the local shops.


16 Snow-Covered Plains
4 Scrying...

It's too slow for Legacy as it exists today. Maybe, maybe if the format was still dominated by old school Landstill. As it is, Land Tax is just a vastly inferior Scrying Sheets.

Also re; the above...

My testing confirmed the experience of others that Cage is pretty bad without counter magic to back it up. If you don't have the mana you can just tutor up Crypt, and if you do Wheel does a better...

Not really. These are my most recent thoughts on the deck. The metagame has solidified significantly since then, but I haven't done as much work on the deck; and it's looking to all get thrown into...

Run 4x Top, 2x Scroll Rack, 4x Terminus. If you can reliably play it from the top it's just spot removal costed and happens to double at killing everything.

I've been off and on on Wing Shards. I mean the biggest problem is how in flux the metagame has been recently. When the makeup of the fundamental strategies of the decks in the meta keep changing...

Scrying Sheets + Top/Rack lets you continually make land drops while drawing business; in other words, it lets you play plenty of lands to make DoJ powerful, while enabling you to survive long enough...

Counterspells + Jace I'm not particularly worried about by themselves. The MWC vs. blue-based control matchup is pretty list-specific, and can swing wildly based on a few cards' difference either...

I think a lot of the cards in the deck just work better over many turns. Planeswalkers are pretty powerful, for instance, but they're a fuckton more powerful in a deck that grinds you out than in one...

I still like the way that Wall of Shards works in the deck with both Scrying Sheets and Pulse of the Fields, but there's really just not room at the moment; SFM-Batterskull fulfills a similar role...

Oh, cool, was figuring so. I confess that I did not have the chance to follow your guys' game very closely as I was enraptured by my opponent's build of that deck.


Speaking of, here's some...

The deck has seven shuffle effects + Scrying Sheets, which lets you actually draw cards. 19 snow cards is cutting it kind of thin to make the Sheets engine work, and it's much superior to fetchlands...

Development

So I'm just 4-0 off the local man with this. At...

@WarpWorld:

I've been developing the archetype, but I'm moving away from this particular approach to MWC for the moment. I've been piloting a different list which I'll post when I have more info,...

This deck becomes so much more viable with MM banned. Nevermore seems playable although I'm not sure if maindeck? The new meta seems very heavy on combo so five Chants and a few Abeyance main seem a...

@scrubby: Glad you're enjoying it. As I've said I think the deck feels quite strong (in the Parfait incarnation) whenever I play it, there's just a few brick walls in Legacy it keeps running into....

The fact that he stops the Painter-Grindstone combo from working.

Glad it worked out. Interested in seeing your final list. I've been playing around with this concept but moved in sort of a new direction, since there's just a critical mass of annoying cards that've...

The deck could survive Misstep. I'd be more worried about all the equipment, planeswalkers and manlands.

In pretty much every tournament I played there was at least one game, often more, where I won solely because of Sacred Mesa. As in I dropped it and literally didn't do anything else but pump out...

Sacred Mesa has won me so many games where Elspeth would've been useless.

I wouldn't run a 2x E. Dragon. It doesn't do enough in this situation, since you're so rarely going to want it as a kill...

Quinn runs a lot of permanents that want to be dropped (Humility, Scepter-Chant) and card disadvantage in the form of E Tutor. Top is also just kind of a better card in most ways than Scroll Rack. I...
