    I doubt it, there's not really room for small creature decks in legacy at the moment. If/when Dig Through Time is banned I'll probably revisit the deck once again.

    Re: Noble Fish

    Has this deck been updated to handle the newest top tier decks: Grixis Delver and Mentor Miracles?

    Re: Noble Fish

    I played this deck in a small 8-man event (4 rounds no playoffs). Went 3-1 but still got first place because of tiebreakers.

    My list was the same maindeck as the OP but -2 Looter Il-Kor +1 Collected Company +1 True-Name Nemesis

    My sideboard was:

    1 Krosan Grip
    2 Containment Priest
    2 Ethersworn Canonist
    1 Manriki-Gusari
    3 Rest in Peace
    1 Vendilion Clique
    1 Sword of War and Peace
    2 Meddling Mage
    2 Flusterstorm


    Matchups were:

    2-0 MUD. Kept a risky hand of 6 land plus SoFaI, 2 of which were Wastelands, and got rewarded. Managed to mana screw the opponent and take the game. Game 2 was similar but I actually had stuff to play from the beginning, like two Dazes and a SFM into SoWaP.

    2-1 BUG Delver. Game 1 I got a Batterskull out pretty fast and coupled it with an Edric and a couple Owls and drew like 15 cards before the opponent decided to go to game 2 even though he still couldve stalled for a couple turns because DRS lifegain OP. Games 2 and 3 were just a contest for how many Wastelands we could draw.

    2-1 Patriot Stoneblade. Game 1 he got manascrewed, game 2 I did. Game 3 opponent kept a cute hand with SFM and durdly stuff but no countermagic. I kept 3 lands, Hierarch and 3 TNN. Resolved them all.

    1-2 4c Delver. Game 1 got fast Battersull online and took it to the win with double FoW backup. Games 2 and 3 he really went hard on the Wastelands, which I didn't even know he had.


    Overall I had fun playing this deck, Bant is my favourite color combination and I believe this deck is the best build for Legacy using these three colors right now. But most of the time the deck just played out like regular UW Stoneblade with Hierarch acceleration, and Edric was mostly just a win more, but he's always nice to have. I'm not too sure of the superiority of this deck compared to mainstream lists like Patriot Stoneblade but it's still very viable and most importantly, fun to play. I tested Collected Company was a CA engine in place of more common stuff like DTT, since I was already playing green, the list packs a lot of creatures and it didn't rely on the graveyard.

    Had a great day overall, will keep playing this deck just to play something that is not Death and Taxes, which I've already been playing nonstop for years.

    An updated list would be sweet. I was just thinking about putting this baby back together and would love to hear people's thoughts on where to take it.

    Re: Noble Fish

    While looking at these cards I realized something. Edric, TNN, and Looter all share the rogue type. How interesting. What synergizes with rogues?

    -Cloak and dagger does but it doesn't really help TNN much.
    -What about Thieve's Fortune? Perhaps considering there is a good chance that we will do damage with a rogue. The only problem is that we don't benefit from having Tarmogoyf get bigger from having a tribal in the grave.
    -Jhessian Thief? Perhaps as Prowess helps it not die to a bolt and gets in a bit more damage.
    -Invisible Stalker? Probably just a worse TNN.

    If we had more cards with prowl then this could be a real strategy but probably not until then.

    Another idea I had was to maximize the card drawing effect from Edric. Cards that do this are those that add extra creatures onto the battlefield such as Brimaz and Geist of Saint Traft. The only problem being Brimaz loses to Karakas. I imagine that if we were to Wasteland a target land then that would end up being it. I'm not sure of any other cards that do this but I can imagine that there are a few.

    Another idea that was though up here was Cold-Eyed Selkie. A cool idea but probably not the most sound as it's the only card with that effect. Nothing else can do its job so it ends up being too important to die. Of course with Cloak and Dagger on the field that becomes a harder thing to achieve for our opponent but still not impossible. An interesting idea to be worked out in testing really.

    Thoughts?

    Re: Noble Fish

    Bit of a necro, but I think this archetype might have some life in it with Spell Quellers and Leovolds as two three drops that can possibly fit in here.

    Check out the Bant thread in the established section if you haven't, some similar things going on.

    don't know if this thread is totally dead or not, but I have been playing a BUG version in a couple leagues and it's been real good! no longer a rest in peace deck, but vial is very strong and most of your individual threats are good standing alone.

    2 underground sea
    2 tropical island
    1 bayou
    1 forest

    Re: Noble Fish

    I've been playing Bahra's old list from time to time, and I've had a lot of fun and a fair bit of success with it. I'm planning to dust it off again this week, and I'm thinking about trying some Spell Quellers in the Clique/Nemesis maindeck slots. Are there any other updates you guys have tried that worked well, other than dipping into other colors?
    If it doesn't make n00bs cry, it's probably not my deck.

    I've been going back to straight up U/W. If anyone here is still active in playing this deck do shoot me a PM, it is very quiet here so it would be nice to have someone to bounce ideas off.

    This definitely seems to be a good time to try creature decks.

    Taking the following list in a league soon, after I 4-1'd with a very similar list on my stream a few hours ago. I think this list is a slight improvement :)

    Re: Noble Fish

    Since you're on 1 TNN and 3 Leo, have you considered 4 BoP + X Hierarch as opposed to 4 Hierarch + X BoP? I think that this deck getting it's mana right is probably going to be a bit more powerful than exalted triggers. I could be wrong, but when I was watching you play earlier, you were going wide a lot more than going big, so the exalted trigger wasn't doing much. If you had more TNNs I think the exalted triggers are a lot more relevant, but with only one I'm not sold.
