Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
12-post seems fine against Grixis Control (without Wasteland). Grixis Delver is probably a poor matchup. That meta looks like a field day for Punishing Jund though, just pack sweepers in the board...
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
Combo, the more degenerate the better. TES or Omnitell would probably be pretty good here. If it's Omni, play Leylines in the board for all the discard.
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
Hymn.dec of some sort. See Eva Green with Leylines in board, or maybe Team America with lots of removal to combat Merfolk. Junk is decent against all 3, although by no means particularly favored. ...
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
Yes, it does have issues with Zoo. However, the guy who posted just wanted to beat Storm, Merfolk, and Stoneforge.dec, so we're good :P.
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
I've had to play against both U/R and Imperial Painter a lot in my meta - they're both excellent decks.
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
Wait a sec. U/R Painter. Not sure how I didn't see that before. Decent in the storm matchup, because it's freaking fast and packs countermagic. Decent against blue due to Red Blasts, Welder, and...
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
I basically never lose to Dredge with Storm unless they get the nuts with multiple fast therapies (or something stupid like Breakthrough into T2 kill). TES and ANT are quite a bit more likely to...
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
Dredge does not beat Tendrils unless it gets the nuts. I'm not sure there IS a deck in Legacy that beats all three of those, TBH. You're talking about a deck that beats aggro, control, and fast...
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
Since there's only one legitimate fast combo deck (Tide), I would highly recommend a Burning Wish Aggro Loam build with Punishing Fire. You will shit on all the aggro and tribal decks, and your card...
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
This is the TES list I usually play, but I haven't played it in a while:
4 Gemstone Mine
3 City of Brass
2 Underground Sea
1 Volcanic Island
4 Fetches
4 Lotus Petal
3 Chrome Mox
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
8 discard spells is not enough to stop Storm unless they get the absolute nuts. Now if they board in 4 Duress, 4 Extirpate, and hate bears, then it actually becomes an uphill battle (but still...
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
LOL if you think Junk would take combo apart. I was going to suggest TES for that meta, because there really aren't any bad matchups (Merfolk and NO RUG are coinflips, everything else is favorable...
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
Standstill...maybe. Not sure if you have room, TBH, and you don't run manlands (at least not that I'm aware of). I wouldn't worry too much about Moat, you have other silver bullets like Ensnaring...
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
Lack of Wasteland doesn't matter too much in Landstill IMO as long as you have the manlands. You could also try playing Thopters - you have no Moat which is unfortunate, but you do have basically...
Re: What Should I Play In My Metagame?
Combo. As stated above, Spiral Tide would work. However, DDFT would likely be even better assuming you know how to pilot it properly.
