    Re: UW Sagas

    That looks like a good direction, especially if the rules work that way.

    I wouldn't bother with Counterbalance. It needs dedicated support to work, and you cut Omen of the Sea.

    Uro seems pretty...

    Lol, copying Parallax Tide.

    Such an enchantment heavy deck could also run Thirst for Meaning as card draw.

    Re: UW Sagas

    Copying Saga seems nice and degenerate until other decks adequately hate it out. Would that work even better in blue stompy though?

    Re: UW Sagas

    Estrid seems fine in UG Enchantress. History of Benalia just isn't a strong enough card to be worth copying, unless you're already far ahead.

    Edit: I think the biggest advantage to the Saga-aggro...

    Re: UW Sagas

    Soothsaying is much worse than Scroll Rack.

    Scroll Rack is closer to a Top that costs 1 more to cast and the same to activate.
    Soothsaying is a Top that costs 3 times as much to activate and can...

    Re: UW Sagas

    4 Porphyry and 4 Sharknado sound like overkill. Porphyry will often 1-for-1 and then die. Against a wider board it's slow to answer the real problems, while Terminus is a faster solution for the same...

    That looks a lot more interactive and better at playing the control game. How does it perform in testing?

    Re: UW Sagas

    Azcanta seems like a good choice for that last slot. Even if it doesn't "combo" with your other pieces, it helps compensate for the loss of card selection by cutting tutors.

    You can abuse it. UW control just may not be the deck to do it. UG Enchantress uses the card really well.

    Maybe an enchantment-based Stompy deck could too. Could even be UW (e.g. Chalice of the...

    Isn't that extremely underpowered then? Competitive Legacy is 60% Brainstorms, which means maybe 65% decks that can use blue mana, 5% decks that try to go off before you can resolve a 2 cmc...

    Re: UW Sagas

    I forgot about Daze.

    Daze is another reason why Spreading Seas is terrible in Legacy. They can just return the land to hand and replay it. That's a "dies to Legacy" stress test.

    The best enchantment to ETutor for is mysteriously absent from this deck: Rest in Peace.

    After that, a good follow-up is Helm of Obedience or Energy Field, which could be 1-ofs but actually...
