    Re: [Deck] Dredge

    Agree. I'm running 1x Firestorm maindeck with another 3x in the sideboard for certain matchups (Elves, for example). The sheer number of DRS around makes the maindeck copy worth it so far, and at its...

    I took the following list to the Legacy Showdown this past Saturday at GP Houston:

    3 Chrome Mox
    4 Lotus Petal
    4 Rite of Flame
    4 Pyretic Ritual
    4 Desperate Ritual
    4 Seething Song

    Not functionally the same, no. Snow does other things, though... Opens up other interactions (that are probably meaningless in Legacy, but whatever). I think they could do it.

    Wonder what the odds are for getting snow duals? IMO that's the best way to get around the RL for duals.

    The 3x carpet and (I imagine) 2x Dromoka + Temple Garden come in against blue decks, with the third as a Living Wish target. The Welder is a Living Wish target, and everything else is a BWish target....

    Re: [SCD] Identity Nemesis

    JTMS costs 4x the amount Land Tax costs, but only 300% more.

    Other than that, your analysis seems sound to me.

    Re: T.E.S vs Dredge

    Neither deck is particularly interactive, TES less so.

    I used to play TES, now I have a Dredge deck. I find Dredge to be less mindcrushingly difficult to play properly than TES, though it is still...

    I think that counting Darkblast as a real dredger is generous. Dredge 3 is okay but not that great. I like Firestorm because it's uncounterable discard for AT LEAST two cards. I can:
