    Legacy Lantern

    So, this will probably never be as powerful as the modern deck given that Brainstorm and Dig Through Time are everywhere, but I still wanted to see how far Lantern control can be converted to legacy. Here's my take on it. Maybe you guys want to give your take on it, and perhaps provide your own lists as many variations are possible.


    3 Volcanic Island
    2 Tropical Island
    4 Misty Rainforest
    3 Scalding Tarn
    3 Grove of the Burnwillows
    1 Island
    1 Academy Ruins

    3 Mox Opal
    4 Lantern of Insight
    4 Codex Shredder
    4 Ghoulcaller’s Bell
    4 Ensnaring Bridge
    2 Pithing Needle
    2 Surgical Extraction
    2 Sensei’s Divining Top
    3 Gitaxian Probe
    2 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
    2 Field of Dreams
    3 Counterbalance
    3 Punishing Fire
    3 Red Elemental Blast
    1 Spell Snare



    - Counterbalance is there to serve as a surrogate Chalice of the Void for one. Since you can't run Chalice of the Void in this deck, Counterbalance is the next best alternative given the density of one drops and the selection between Sensei's Divining Top, Ghoulcaller's Bell and Codex Shredder.
    - This deck should have a decent matchup against miracles because Lantern of Insight can shuffle away the revealed miracle card

    The rest is self explanatory I think.

    Known issues with my list:
    - Jace costs 4 mana, that's a lot. I can dig for lands via milling, but 4 is still a stretch. But you can't play this deck and not use Jace I think.
    - Chalice of the Void hurts
    - Engineered Explosives is a nightmare. Need more needles in the side?
