I think everyone agrees on that this combo fits best in a shell where the pieces are useful on their own and not just as a combo. I've tried a few different decks and I think something like Faerie...

Neither Spellbook nor Library of Leng are worth playing. Either build the deck to win when you draw you deck (with for example SSG and Lightning Storm) or win by the massive card advantage/quality.

It's not a storm spell. You just battle for control of the spell. And you will win that battle :smile:

I also think that this fits better in an aggro shell than in an all-out-combo shell. There are quite a lot of things that kill the combo and Swans' Song is an awsome card on its own.

Maybe, but it might also be overkill. You will most likely win without the combo kill if you draw your deck.

It's more a matter of not diluting your deck with suboptimal cards. But since you'll want acceleration anyways I guess that 3/4 SSG are ok.

If damage would be dealt to Swans' Song, prevent that damage. The controller of the damage's source then draws cards equal to the damage...

I think Lightning Storm is a better option. It seems unnecessary to rely on the grave when you don't have to. You need one more SSG, but I think the advantage is greater than the cost. And I think...

Or maybe with Lightning Storm if you want to go for a somewhat more expensive instant win?

I'd say Swan's Song is pretty good with Chain of Plasma. Draw your deck for 1R instant speed.

Hi!

I wonder if anyone has a good way of testing whether a combo deck might be viable. What I'm looking at is a set of tests against commonly played archetypes. This is for a deck that wins on one...

Ok, if you really need that kind of mana base, I guess you might have a point. I don't think either is necessary though. As someone else said, you run very few green card to actually pitch to it. My...

I think both Cloud of Faeries (with Ancient Tomb) and Skyshroud Cutter would be better than Vine Dryad if you feel that you need that free creature. And why don't you run fetches? They are so great...

Ooops, I just saw that. I'd delete this thread if I only knew how :-)

Hi everyone!
I'm pretty new to this whole legacy thing, but I know that people are playing Aluren which I guess means that it's possible to play a combo/control deck based on having a rather...
