Fun update for the deck since it got a fair amount of support from recent sets! Here is the current list, which is not running the fast-mana chalice package, but is now more control-based.

Here is the decklist I'm currently running for SOS:
4x ancient tomb
4x flooded strand
4x island
1x karakas
2x misty rainforest
3x plains
4x tundra
2x windswept heath
Sure, it would work, but it would require playing a 1-cmc spell (nonbo with the Chalices) and not get any value out of the sacrificing (like the atogs or Claws). I guess if I just wanted to stifle a...
Not yet, but I do play with a couple Opalescence out of the SB. I will try Starfield shortly.
I'll be adding more to this later, but basically been playing a deck that is designed to abuse enchantments that have a separate ETB/LTB ability (O-Ring, Detention Sphere, etc.) with something that...
Just an update as I played a local 8-person legacy 4-round tourney the other day. Played at a neat new store in Albany, NY that appears to be quite Legacy friendly, Next Level Gaming. Of note, the...
In playing this quite a bit against current meta on MODO, I do like the transformative board. Basically cutting the T2 glimpse-needed storm kill into a T4-6 overload kill. Also, with so many...
To be fair, when i first piloted this deck, the legend rule was quite different (but I still played 4 cradles). I then shifted to only bringing cradles from the board when I tried to transform into...
Just an update on the list as I've been playing it quite a bit online and have tuned it to a list that I'm pretty comfortable on right now. New Phyrexia and Avacyn Restored added a few goodies that...
I've been playing it online a bit and have some decent vids posted on Youtube. Search for magiclovr or mtg legacy cheeri0s and you should find it.
Just a quick update on Cheerios: I recently started playing om MTGO and buit the deck there to test and play with. I've been getting better with it (making less sub-optimal decisions) and it has...
Well, here is a small tourney report from the first tourney I've played in with the deck since Mental Misstep came on the scene. The MD 60 was the same, but the SB was as follows:
2x Gaea's...
Interesting stuff... I've never even heard of chalice/presence as a combo: That is pretty saucy! Sadly, I do believe the Mental Misstep will be a nail in the coffin for this kind of deck. It just...

A friend who plays a similar list does play with haze of rage and concordant crossroads/mass hysteria. What I don't like about it is that the crossroads/hysteria is another dead card when ur going...
Yeah, that's the big question I'm trying to fiddle with right now; Which color to add for greater resiliency? I have worked in some Bayous and G/B fetches to splash B and bring in things like Cabal...
Then Scapegoat becomes less effective, as you're almost always paying 0 for the walls and marauders so they aren't around to pull back in. Also, with the walls and shield spheres, you can end up...
Yes, that is true. I'm not sure this is well positioned or any better than other decks. I was just wondering if people had any ideas I hadn't seen to make it less vulnrable to other decks out...
Good points:
Re: Cradle and Rotation - That's actually pretty close to the list I played at SCG 5k in Boston last year. The deck was built sub-optimal, but without the cradles and rotations it...
Ah, got it. That was a reference to when I play with a more "hate filled" SB as opposed to the current "go aggro" SB. They're not in the list I'm playing currently, but have been in prior lists.
Nature's Claim Krosan Grip The Brain Freeze is for decks like MUD running Emperion or any other deck that has a way of gaining a LOT of life. Also pretty handy against Lands running Glacial...
Because this is faster, has a better plan B, and access to G for Crop Rotation and Living Wish. I've proxied up 12-Post and have yet to win with it against this... I'm certainly not the authority...
Well, one of the three is an issue; the other two are not. Sweepers can be played around to a degree. The deck has so much redundancy with creatures that you can run out a few of them and have more...
Yeah, mono-G, yadda yadda. The deck is an absolute blast, and even though it's cold to fast combo, it's so brutal on control and aggro that it just may be worth playing. Yup, the sideboard with...
Yup, I definately hate to see the Pillar come in against me. That's when the game plan is to switch to plan B and hope to get an Ascension on line, or if you're boarding hate instead of an Aggro...
