Pirate Stompy

[Dice_Box]

I am not convinced that this is not all a troll, but on the bright side I had my attention brought to a possible Blue Stax shell. I am going to mess around with these guys, troll or no. Because the one thing Stax desperately needs is a card drawing effect. Blue is a good option.

I played a black blue stax for quite a while and it was very good.

there will be at least 1-2 bannings, possibly emergency bannings

I see Snapcaster in a lot of these lists but I've yet to be impressed with him and the very small amount of hittable targets in the deck. How do you guys feel about Wasteland? I go back and forth between not using any and using a maximum of 3.

Not really, no.

I think some people think this is a joke mostly because the proposed decklists people have been using are sooo far off from the real thing. The fact that 'Stompy' is in the name has probably been leading people down the wrong path, as this is more of a combo deck than a stompy deck. Some of the cards people have been testing are in fact in the deck, but I have seen the key 2 cards mentioned a total of 0 times.

I figured out the 2 cards! They're Patches and Prince Keleseth, /Thread.

Is it a infinite combo? Or does it just kill with a very large number?

The combo might be Parallax Tide & Hoodwink.

Tide works well with the Pirate theme (sac permanent) and also with Skyship Plunderer

I know this isnt the deck; from the recent comments you have made but damn I am liking this version so much.

I worked upon a maindeck UB plan while switching out the black for punishing red spells in the SB. (as was hinted in a previous post) Im kinda glad this isn't you deck but just as excited that your rumors led to the creation of a deck like this one.


(also "The combo might be Parallax Tide & Hoodwink." was disproven by his statement that he hasnt seen the 2 cards yet. one of the version posted to twitter had this and was shot down and not in /the/ deck"

You guys, now that the deck is going to be released, I want to take this opportunity to apologize for the way I acted in this thread earlier. Things got heated and I was a little bit too emotional. Ultimately I was just trying to protect something that my friends worked very hard on. Here's the thing - not very often does a deck totally come from out of nowhere like this - this was a masterpiece of brewing and we thought we did everything in our power to keep it a secret. But I think that's just impossible these days, and we need to accept that and not blame other people.

So I'm not angry anymore - I'm actually just excited. A lot of blood and sweat went into building this deck and I think people are gonna be thrilled when they see the final product. As soon as the list is published, I think the new legacy meta is going to be nuts and I look forward to being able to finally be able to play Popeye in public. I don't think it will last too long honestly, because there will be at least 1-2 bannings, possibly emergency bannings, but it will be a ton of fun while it lasts.

Anyway, I hope everyone here accepts my apology, I know I snapped at a lot of people.

Respect, buddy . It takes a great person to do that.

The MD is also confirmed UB, so Mono-Blue doesn't cut it.

I don't think it's fair for me to give anyone else any more information about how the deck wins - that just allows the people who see the posts to speculate unfairly. I probably shouldn't have even said there was a combo, so far everyone has been pretty distracted by building variants of the same stompy deck.

[Lightless]

I just realy want to take the deck, whatever it might be, when it comes out to one of our weekly legacy tournaments.
But I guess I will have to wait till the list is public aaaaand then until the cards that I highly likely dont have arrive by mail. ;)

[Echelon]

I'm so hoping this thing is an elaborate hoax.

Seriously, just for the hell of it. It would be so funny.

Me too! Kind of feels like it is, too. But who knows.. with so many cards in the pool there are bound to be some undiscovered great decks out there.

Unearth and/or Recurring Nightmare? ... What else "combo-ish" does black bring into the table? Those two cards are essentially card advantage engines in EtB effect heavy shell.

It's not going to be that, but I can't help filling in the 3 card combos of a) Grand Architect, Thopter Foundry and Sword of the Meek, and b) Necrotic Ooze, Phyrexian Devourer and Walking Ballista/Triskelion. I've been trying to fit these 6 cards into a deck the last couple of weeks, not very successfully I can add. Edit: well it's more combo than Unearth and Recurring Nightmare, that's why I thought I'd add it.

+1 for sportsmanship!

If Hostage Taker isn't the main combo piece, then the only other Pirate-related combo I can think about is Ruthless Knave + Marionette Master to dish out massive damage. Not sure how it would be set up to be broken in Legacy, though.

Edit: Maybe Panharmonicon is involved? Getting double triggers from Hostage Taker and the Rishadan pirates sounds pretty good.
