Thread: Your Fave deck?

    Your Fave deck?

    Hi all,

    I'm pretty new to Legacy (but not to Magic), and so far I've tried to soak in as many different playing styles as I can, to really find what deck suits how I want to play.
    And I've found one or two decks that just scream to me - Fun!
    Quite a lot are fairly thought intense, some demand you juggle math on the play, others look very linear & consistent and almost pilot themselves.
    And there are those that look fun for 15 minutes and repetitive/boring thereafter.

    So I'm curious what decks you fella's & babe's think is your "Fave/ Most Fun!" deck in Legacy, & what you think is "the biggest waste of card board ever...."deck.
    And why?

    Cheers.

    Re: Your Fave deck?

    My Favorites:
    1) Reanimator (Was my childhood's dream. The T1 version and had no money for it back then-1998 or1999 if i am not mistaken. Now of course I own a legacy reanimator and i am very proud of it. It was my first legacy deck.)
    2) RUG-tempo
    3) RUG delver
    4) EVA Green, The gate
    5) Team America

    Kind of like them:
    6) Merfolks
    7) Burn (Its very linear and straightforward and becomes a bit boring after a while- very decent budget deck by the way)
    8) BUG Infect (when Mental misstep was legal it was actually a nice deck- the face of your opponent when he lost was priceless!!!!)
    9) Dredge (Not a bad deck and if you like reanimator style decks you may like this one too as it utilizes the graveyard and is very explosive- also a very very good budget option. Maybe the best.)
    10) Zombies (YEAH!! BRAIIINS- but NOT competitive and I like tournaments)

    Indifferent towards :9) Elves, goblins

    Haven't tried: Show and tell. sneak and show, storm, high tide, belcher, affinity so I won't say anything about them

    Hatred (not the card) towards :
    1) Zoo [i fucking HATE the color combination plus play style(dump beating with mobs)]
    2) Maveric (I think i hate it as it contains white- I hate white)
    3 to infinite) any stone forge mystic deck- there is a lot of white in it

    Waste of cardboard : I don't think that there is such a bad or not fun deck.

    Re: Your Fave deck?

    Favourites are Prison decks, The Armageddon stax deck I run is a prison version (as opposed to the more aggro stax lists), The Enchantress deck locks down with solitary and wins off of angel tokens or a GSZ for progenitus.
    I also have a non-competative Stasis deck that can have a hard-lock on the game by turn 4 or 5.
    I would like to get a lands deck, I've proxied it to test it and it's really fun to play, but I'm not sure I want to drop the money on it right now.

    I also like heavy control decks like counter-top, MUC, Miracles and the like.

    For decks I dislike, Any combo deck except Reanimator I find obnoxious to play with or against (So, ANT, TES, High Tide, Show and Tell). Reanimator I don't find as annoying to play with/against.

    Waste of cardboard... I would say the only deck I've played that was a waste of my time and money was Belcher. It was fun the first few times I played it, but once it lost the novelty value it's just a miserable deck to play and it's lack of consistency makes it very luck-intensive.

    Edit: I actually forgot one of my favourite decks! UWx Landstill is a deck I always take apart and end up going back to eventually. I play a heavy control version with man-lands as basically the only win con.

    Re: Your Fave deck?

    Decks I love:
    I absolutely love Stoneblade, been playing it for 2 years. It was my first Legacy deck, after I got back into Magic during Zendikar/Scars. I hated the complaining about how expensive caw-blade was in standard and how unfair it was, so I decided to port it to Legacy. Fortunately I had kept my antiquities mishra factories, wastelands and force of wills from when I was a younger. Candelabra exploded in price and I was able to trade it for Tundras. I traded the majority of standard to finish off building the deck. Getting married meant no more standard for me. Stoneblade represent getting into Legacy for me and abandoning standard.

    I'm loving "Oscar the grouch" the working name I have for a GB aggro midrange deck.

    Decks I hate:
    High Tide. I respect it, but I hate how the deck plays, I hate how the games play out.

    Hate:
    Show and Tell decks
    Natural Order decks

    I really hate Timmy fatties. I'm relatively ok with Reanimator. Reanimator can be hated on by any color with gy hate. Show and Tell decks require you to run discard or counters.

    Re: Your Fave deck?

    I kinda love tribal decks

    I like all creature based decks

    I hate all turn one combo decks like Belcher, ANT, Reanimator etc. There is no idea to play against decks you dont even get a turn.

    It's interesting that no one has mentioned Dredge as a deck they hate.

    I can't believe the hate belcher is getting, -it's one of my all time favourites. I also have no idea why people are saying it's inconsistent, I always found it to be more reliable than just about anything.
