I think you may have been my Round 14 opponent, I was the one on Death and Taxes. It was only after the match I clarified my assumption on The Abyss vs Mother of Runes. Regardless, and if it was...

You seem to be missing a few lands.

Only 8 people made it to the Legacy night at the LGS, which means an entertaining (albeit short) 3 rounds. I ended up 2-1 with a loss to Goblins because of horrid draws and mulligans, but wins over...

The single Rack in my main is constantly flipped back and forth with a Powder Keg, I never can seem to make up my mind on which way I want to go with it.

Unfortunately, Chalice also stops the decks 13 1-drops. Granted, some can come out, but being shut off of removal for the rest of the game hurts quite a bit.

So, the time has come where I can pick up another Legacy item to continue my ever-progressive quest to have Pox where it feels right in my hands. I've listed what I'm currently putting in sleeves...

I would go -7 Swamp, +4 Fetchland (Minimum), +3 Urborg. I would also cut Big Pox -3 for +4 Inquisition of Kozilek (filling your empty slot) and -4 Duress for +4 Funeral Charm.

I'm thinking about cutting a Scroll from the main since I've added the tutors to fit it in. Not sure if that's trimming it down to far or not, though.

Of all the problems to have, right?

It is a little annoying though, because I'm currently really in favor of how the deck is running (despite a 2-2 last week, I was playing on the borderline of...

Well, time to rework the deck and free up another single slot, my Chains of OH LORD THATS A LOT OF TEXT WHAT DOES IT TO ANYWAY just shipped out. Decisions, decisions.

Its card selection more than draw. Brainstorm, Ponder, Serum Visions, Dig, Jace, etc. Piling those up turn after turn leads to some decent hand sculpting if you don't have enough disruption.

Played against a very stubborn D&T guy tonight who only finally scooped when my board was 6 lands, 2 Cursed Scrolls, Liliana at 4 (after an ultimate), Gloom, Nether Void, Night of Souls Betrayal,...

I suppose it would depend on how good your Game 1 is, honestly. If it goes well and you don't need to slot out the Leyline's for any other hate, I couldn't see a reason to not pull them out.

I've done some swaps, some tinkering, and some fidgeting with numbers over the last week. My only test games have been against Dragon Stompy, Death & Taxes, and Reanimator, but post board they've...

I have yet to play against D&T, but I did run through a few games against Elves over the last two weeks. Game one is a toss up, with you needing to be on the ball to keep their creature count low...

I had boarded in 3 Bridges and 3 Plagues, but saw 0 of either in game 2. Just bad luck on that one, I don't really chalk it up to anything else.

Edit Update and Such: I've decided to go all in,...

I took revised Pox (with the changes listed in the previous e-mail) to the LGS last Saturday and ended up doing a bit better, finishing the night at 2-1. We only had 8 players because there were...

Whenever I'm playing, I find myself really wanting a way to institute a hard lock against an opponent. Land Destruction, Liliana, and a cost increase like Trinisphere or Nether Void all set up the...

While I wasn't considering Brainstorm + Fetch Lands...part of me was thinking about 2xSDT + a single Thawing Glaciers, or two copies of Infernal Tutor, for the games that you're empty handed and just...

They're Italian, but I do have them. Wastelands will be replacing Ghost Quarter within the week, though.

D'oh. I knew I forgot something. I /do/ want either a NoSB or BSZ in the main. ...

I ended up going 1-2-1 last night in a store run 12 person with the following, but discounting a misplay or two on my part I likely could have brought it up to 3-1 or at the least 2-2.

Here's what...

I just finished a small 4 round legacy event here which was my first chance to actually sleeve up the black devil and give it a go. Going to get some sleep and then post a report tomorrow.

If it was "You may remove all counters" I think it would be fair, but not solid. As it is, you're waiting thee turns after you play it to kill everything. I'm sure there's better ways.

Part of...

I like the idea of four independent win conditions, just in case of Pithing Needle/Null Rod overload. With a minimal creature build, is there anything else you would suggest?

I was considering Ghost Quarter, since most Legacy lists I have gone over only run 3 or 4 basic land, if that. If they don't start off well, I'll be moving to a Dust Bowl build to bide time (if...
