Congratz! Too bad you didn't face Merfolk, as I believe this is Landstill nightmare :( (the only reason why im not playing the deck...)

On a related note, expecting a lot of Zoo + Merfolk + aggro...

Hey everyone,

tomorrow, there will be a big Legacy Tournament.

As always, I am expecting a lot of Merfolk and other aggro decks. What colour would be my best options (considering my limited...

I'm running 2elspeth and 2 jace in my current list. It works good right now. I would say that Elsepth is better at controlling the board, and Jace at sealing the game. The -1 in the unsummon is a sad...

Both DOJ and Elsepth have their advantage and disadvantage. As a win condition, no doubt, Elsepth is much faster and act as a board control against aggro (say they attack each round with a goyf,...

I've been trying to return to a more class list. But i just cant cut Sensei's divining top/Jace 2.0 because the amount of games they made me won cannot be counted...
Also, SDT works incredibly well...

Congratz on that finish. Traditionnal lists are traditionnal for one reason : they have proven their effectiveness.

I personally believe red is still the way to go right now because of all the...

In my opinion, Landstill has a very positive board against most aggro. (except maybe tribal). Zoo can be hard because they can stil reach for the final damages with their bolts and other spells even...

Oh, in my opinion, BOLT is superior to PTE in many MU. Giving life to opponent is acceptable.
Giving a land can be a huge lost
Which is why bolt can come in handy against the fast aggro decks.
...

As funny as it may be...
Lighting bolt could be used as a cheap 1 mana removal AND (although unlikely) can destroy a planeswalker. I've seen alot of JACE 2.0 drops and just BS away. IF you have that...

With red, I actually believe that you can get a removal bag in the like of :

2 firespout
2 wog/humility
4 stp
3 ee
2 fire/ice (F/I don't have PTE weakness of giving land to opponent, and can...

@Hanni : While I agree that the format has evolved, I still believe Landstill has a place in this format. So far, I believe red splash is the way to go. You get firespout that is 1 turn faster than...

Actually, I faced 2 iona in my small tournament. I haven't played in ages, so the surprise was even bigger. Iona naming white, gg.

That sais, Reanimator completely owned me... Sure, the new jace...

Oh my, I haven't played in magic for months. three sets came out, don't even know how the meta shifted. Yet, i feel like landstill is the only deck for me :O

any suggestion. Two colors, three...

Just curious : By using RED in landstill, aren't we making ourselves vulnerable to BEB (in the Merfolk MU)? Would a mix of WOG and Firesprout be a better idea?

RED/PYRO seem the nuts against...

I just wanted to point out that MM naming Tendrils is always key. If you can force them to combo with Empty the Warrens, you can come out of this victorious. Landstill, in most list, runs mass...

The first thing that struck me when considering your list is
4 [CST] Swords to Plowshares
3 [REW] Wrath of God
2 [ALA] Oblivion Ring

The lack of EE. I can understand that EE @ 2 can be pretty...

I agree in most part with Hanni.

Most meta features deck like Canadian, Merfolk et Goblin/Zoo.
All are fast and most of them run mana disruption such as stifle, wasteland, rishadan port.

For a...

PAth to Exile in a very aggro meta could be good (see Zoo, Goyf Sligh and Merfolk/elfes). Most of those decks can run out of gas fairly easily.

That said, in a diverse Meta with Canadian,...

It depends alot on what you've got maindeck.
Assuming you keep a Wishstill list.

Negate/Spellsnare : Are needed if you expect to face Burn, Combo and Mirror control.

Pulse of the Field :...

I have to agree that generally, against aggro deck, you would much rather have card advantage over card quality (since your deck is packed with about 12 removal+)
That said, a turn 1 Sensei'S...

So far, if I read correctly, against an AGGRO (zoo, Merfolk and Elves) meta (and Aggro-control in the Threshold like), I am better with alot of removals (like Geoff?)

I am considering
3 wrath...

Mossivo1986 : Mind listing a list? Or point out a what page it is? :)

Robert

Is humility still good? Orf too vulnerable because of Krosan Grip?

My removals are
2 wrath of god
2 ee
2-3 vindicate
4 swords to plowshare

I wanted 1-2 more removal to face against aggro...

My metagame is mainly
Landstill
Threshold
Gp-new-threshold (or NLU or Nassif's or whatever you will call them.)

Seeing how the 2cc are so powerful in Legacy, do you think a counterspell package...

Humility is still great against decks that do not run Krosan Grip

I still consider it as a major bomb. Left unanswered, you usually win the game. My list also run Crucible of Worlds. I prefer my...
