With the banning of Treasure Cruise and the likely upsurge in Deathrites, I'm maindecking one Firestorm. Yes, an active Deathrite can remove a card you discard to Firestorm, but it shouldn't be hard...

Awesome report! This line is a classic: "I'll take a smug sense of self-righteousness over 6 more rounds of Magic any day."
Congrats man, awesome performance and great report. Now let's play some more Legacy!
Lodestone would be good if you can consistently get it into play on turn two, and even then it's not guaranteed to disrupt them enough. If you can't consistently get it onto the board until after...
Having played Storm, I don't like this plan. If you want that effect, play Thalia. At least she attacks. Storm can most certainly fight through a Thorn, and potentially faster than you win around...
I'm going to have to look into those...
I think Warmth and Firewalker look the best of these options. Leyline is less appealing now that there's Eidolon in the mix. Warmth is probably the...
I don't think going into four colors is really necessary. Swarm seems weak, and countermagic really isn't much of a problem usually. The decks you'd want it against (Miracles, UR Delver) are...
I played a 30ish person tournament on Saturday and lost my last round win-and-in for top 8. Unfortunately the loss was to my own incredibly stupid mistake. Anyway, here's the list I played:
3...
Some janky potential tech against the Pyromancer/Cruise decks:
Jotun Grunt
Runeflare Trap (burn 'em out...yeah right)
Caltrops
And yes I realize these are suspect, at best.
I'm still playing this deck and I have to say the sideboard Pithing Needles are awesome. They're way more versatile than just shutting down Spellbombs and Deathrites. I'm also happy with my only...
I'm ditching Pyroblasts from my board in favor of Pithing Needle. I have yet to find the Blasts relevant, because discard and simply overwhelming their number of counters is often enough against...
I played this deck in a small local tournament this weekend and ended up doing well, though I think that was mostly due to drawing very hot and not playing against a lot of Force of Wills. Here's...
I played the following list at a small tournament yesterday:
1 Sire of Insanity
4 Griselbrand
1 Iona, Shield of Emeria
1 Inkwell Leviathan
4 Dark Ritual
4 Entomb
1 Faithless Looting
Are any maindeck creatures besides Sire, Griselbrand, and Iona even necessary? I don't think I'd ever tutor for Jin-Gitaxis over those three, and in my limited goldfishing with the deck I haven't...
I tried this in a small live tournament yesterday and it became pretty clear to me that a deck full of x/1 creatures isn't the best place to be in today's meta (unless of course those creatures are...
Is this just a worse Burn or Zoo? I do like the idea, though. Guide seems detrimental to the Blightning plan, and a lot of creatures seems to go against Young Pyromancer wanting a lot of instants...
Village Bell-Ringer combos with Kiki-Jiki and can be tutored up with Imperial Recruiter. Obviously it's not a great creature on its own, though.
Thanks very much for your input and effort! I'm going to keep working on it, though I realize it won't be tier one.
When it comes to Planeswalkers, wouldn't Liliana be an even better choice, particularly with Bloodghasts and Lingering Souls in the deck?
It's definitely just a rough first draft, so a lot of...
Here's the first draft of a deck that's not quite Team Italia, not quite Zombardment, and likely not quite good:
4 Arid Mesa
3 Badlands
2 Bloodstained Mire
4 Marsh Flats
1 Mountain
1 Plains...
Chandra, the Firebrand's -2 seems awesome with the LD spells.
Thanks for the insight. Putting together the manabase was one of the many times I felt lost in assembling the list. I definitely like the Entomber Exarch suggestion.
Fundamentally, if I'm playing Resto do you think it's better to add small to mid-size value creatures that I can blink with her (something like Eternal Witness), or higher impact big creatures like...
I'm brand new to Nic Fit and would like some input on this list:
2 Bayou
1 Dryad Arbor
5 Forest
1 Marsh Flats
1 Phyrexian Tower
1 Plains
1 Savannah
1 Scrubland
I can only speak for myself, but I stopped playing Storm for a number of reasons.
First, where I play (Denver) the Legacy scene is small and we very rarely get any kind of big event (no SCG Open...
