Are there any "innovations and brews" which use the following core? It's used in Modern:
4 Astral Cornucopia
4 Everflowing Chalice
4 Surge Node
4 Coretapper
I wonder if it's a viable strategy in Legacy for ramp. It obivously competes with Post mana base and Stompy/Sollands mana base.
I still think Didgeridoo in a Karn shell with Serum Powder and the new mulligan rule could be very powerful. I’m always in the minority on that, but I think with the new changeling and Karn the time is now.
just wanted to point out the absurdness of turn 1 lumberjack.
turn 1 land lumberjack.
turn 2 fetch, tap 2 lands, use lumberjack to get titania into play. return fetch to play. sac fetch to get red mana source. suspend gargadon.
you have access to a 5/3, 1/1, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5 and gargadon will start your next turn with 6 counters if you choose to sac.
that's really crazy to put 20 power on the board on turn 2.
i think this deck has huge potential if people decide to actually play it and know how to play it.
Edit: I think if you want Christmasland you could get do something like
Turn 1 lumberjack.
Turn 2 suspend Gargadon, cast veteran explorer. Sac vet, get 2 lands. Cast Titania, get land back, sac fetch to make a token, csst another explorer, sac it to get two more lands.....
I was looking for a way to slam down sarkhan but can't think of it off hand.
Might be possible but would require probably 3 explorer + garg + Titania + lumberjack + sarkhan + 2 lands (one being a fetch). Isn't even enough basics in that version to do it.

Speaking of Mox Diamond/Green Sun's Zenith decks without Life from the Loam, MatsOle took Wrenn and Six in a really interesting direction to get 12th in yesterday's 167-player MTGO Legacy Playoffs. Possibility for a new archetype. Looking at it, I guess it's Sylvan Plug with Wrenn and Six instead of Choke basically.

I used norin/chamber in modern with WR sisters (this type of thing: https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=13919&d=282367&f=MO ). If you got it going it got out of hand quickly, with massive life gain added. Having said that, if the opponent removed the sisters, or chamber, the game was finished. Kozilek's Return was also pretty deadly... But the biggest problem is that something with infect or fast combo make life gain and chamber tokens pretty irrelevant. In short, very dependant on what you faced, plenty of things could wreck you easily and it was slow. Amazingly fun to play.
I love this brew that top 8'ed the 44-player AZ Eternal Magic League this weekend. It's also inexpensive by Legacy standards; about $700.

Only 4 different combo decks in one deck? Don't wimp out on us now, youmeandiowa; add an Auriok Salvagers or something to get 5 in there.
