Scornful Egotist likes it, but Leylines are the better plan.
I've tested a very similar deck a few years ago (before Astrolabe).
It started with a Sol mana base (Tombs, City of Traitors) primarily to cast first turn Torpor Orb. Then Dreadnoughts and...
You can go here.
Yes. Playing Standard feels like holding a piece of wood in hands, which you know will decay during the next months.
I never played Pauper, but I can't imagine a good experience, even if had a...
People try to convince the responsibles, WotC, Hasbro, ... to make something happen about the RL since many, many years, not only here, but in literally any Magic forum, in podcasts, in articles, in...
Yet another attempt to abolish the Reserve List....? :eek: It's getting old.
Last petition got 2571 signatures, let's see where this one is going.
Combos with Retrofitter and Daretti and doesn't lose life, probably enough to be better here. Dreadhorde doesn't accumulate creatures (doesn't go wide).
That said... you still need 2 cards to...
So true... I am stilling sitting on my Legacy staples from the mid/late 2000's, always hoping to get to play them again, but the time does not allow any more (due to family).
What I really wonder: if prices on Legacy staples have increased by factor 10 during the last 10 years (as stated by Ben Bleiweiss), doesn't this mean that the player pool has increased as well?
I...
Entomb does a lot more, than only finding Griselbrand here.
- Finds Punishing Fire, if you have Grove or need to take the control role.
- Finds Crashing Footfalls, if you have Dreadhorde ready
-...

intersting view on how planeswalkers destroyed the game.
I just read The Parameter of Land Tax in Legacy and the author was pretty positive on Tax Rack ("will be a very successful deck") and got me excited to build the deck.
Now I came here and I wonder...
Do you think it is that excessive? Isn't the life loss comparable to Dark Confidant or Phyrexian Arena in an average game?
Something like this, maybe?
1. Birds of Paradise
2. Varolz
3. Play Dreadnought, sac him, scavenge on BoP, attack with 12/13 flyer
Add some Trinket Mage, which can search Walking Ballista...
With that many creatures with 12-13 power, I'd try Varolz, the Scar-Striped in such a deck.
Oh, I'd love to see the old Dreadnought + Pandemonium deck again :-D
hm, but there have been such hybrid combo decks before:
Like
Bomberman + Painter/Grindstone hybrid.
Reanimator Depths
Tinfins Depths
Granted, at least the Tinfins variant attacks with...
Isn't Tolaria West more flexible, while it also works under Standstill and is uncounterable? Could also find Engineered Explosives or other X spells.
Worst card evaluation I've ever read. :laugh:

I really appreciate your theoretical thoughts on deckbuilding. But aren't multiple ways to victory and redundancy a good thing?
Concretely speaking, why not drop some Counterspells, Spell Snares,...
Angry Tradewind Survival.
Angry = Anger to give Tradewind haste.
Fun toolbox control deck.
I don't think it works, because you are not allowed to cast spells during your untap step.
The earliest is the upkeep step, after all triggered abilities went on stack.
Great analysis on the Null Rod effects issue.
However it's hard for me to follow why a Goyf-like beater is only good if you play Standstill or Wrenn & Six instead in order to ignore removal.
You...
Thanks for your insights. Myr Superion was just an idea, because it can be "cast" off Mask and Scroll and is colorless (for Stompy shell). Lupine Prototype still suffers the same problem (can't...
This hint now makes me think, if playing Chalice on our own is a good idea. What do you think about a core like this:
4 Phyrexian Dreadnought
4 Myr Superion
X Trinket Mage
4 Scroll of Fate...
