DTBF Philosophy & Deck Selection

October 2018 Update

The report of my death was an exaggeration, the reports on Death's Shadow on the other hand...




A higher point total in a few months. 3144 points total with a cut off at 145. That gives us a total of 5 decks.

• Grixis Control
• Miracle Control
• Eldrazi
• Sneak and Show
• Grixis Pyro

So, we gain Sneak and Boredom as well as Pyro. We lost UB Shadow, DnT and ANT. That's one of the more active changes we have had in a while.

November 2018 Update

The Elves go marching to war, meet as of untold Depths. I wonder what could be trapped under that ice?




3007 points for the month. Names Bond, Tri Bond. Anyway, cut of is 138, so we have 8 decks.

• Miracle Control
• Eldrazi
• Grixis Control
• Turbo Depths
• Sneak and Show
• ANT
• DnT
• Elves!

We lose Pyro while gaining the heretics, Storm, DnT and some of Robin Hoods archers. Seems like a fair trade to me. Also to note, Stax got 6 points this month. Go Stax. You keep trying and one day you might even be a tire 3 deck again.

December 2018 Update

Sorry I am late, I will try not to do this again.




2824 total with a cut at 130. That leaves us with 9 decks. 9. Wow.

• Grixis Pyro
• Miracle Control
• Eldrazi
• Sneak and Show
• ANT
• Turbo Depths
• Grixis Control
• DnT
• U/R Delver

We lose Elves and gain Pyro and UR Delver. Poor elves.

January 2019 Update

And the new year arrives too... more of the same. Its' more of the same. Hey, you play Legacy, its basically the motto of the format.




2576 total with a cut at 119. That leaves us with 7 decks. But DnT and Eldrazi are close enough I will include them too.

• Miracle Control
• Blade Control... What? Where the hell did you come from?
• ANT
• Grixis Control
• Turbo Depths
• Sneak and Show
• Grixis Pyro
• DnT
• Eldrazi

Out goes U/R, DnT and Eldrazi. Officially at least. In comes Blade control? What the hell? Hey you do you. I hate Batterskull as much as the next guy, but you do you.

February 2019 Update

No matter where you are I hope you find solace in Legacy.




3013 this month. That's high that normal of late, something I am glad to see. The cut off lands at 138.6 and Pyro is 138. I think I will just give it to them. With Pyro that is 7 decks.

• Miracle Control
• Blade Control... Still hear? Shit I think I will have to plan around it.
• DnT
• Eldrazi
• Grixis Control
• ANT
• Grixis Pyro

We say goodbye to SnT (Woot) and the Heretics that follow the path of Turbo Depths (Lands is a deck guys, you can worship our Queen while following the one truth path). All in all it feels like nothing changed this month. Well other than the number 8 spot was Red Stompy. Keep an eye open for them, they have been picking up online these last few weeks.

March 2019 Update

Good thing that top got banned and Miracles went away.




4089 this month. Big month. The cut off is 188 meaning that Red Stompy misses but a whisker. Almost had 7 decks this month.

• Miracle Control
• UR Delver
• DnT
• Blade Control
• Grixis Control
• Turbo Depths

So, coming out is Eldrazi, ANT and Grixis Pyro. Coming in is UR Delver and some silly list of cards that uses Depths in a heretical way. Curse them.

April 2019 Update

Wait what! DnT did what? Finn, explain yourself.




3525 for the month giving us with 7 decks with the cut at 162. Top billing going to DnT? What the fuck? Ok.

• DnT
• Miracle Control
• UR Delver
• Grixis Control
• Blade Control
• ANT
• SnT

We lost Depths while gaining ANT and SnT. If that new Mull rule comes in expect to see a lot of SnT and RB. I dont think SnT is going away.

May 2019 Update

I know sometimes I fuck this up, but I hope I can spell the month of May without any issues. Here is to hoping right?




So we drop to a kind of low, 2992. Thats the kind of low I am happy to have. Cut off is 138 leaving us with 6 decks and ANT just missing out.

• Miracle Control
• DnT
• Grixis Control
• UR Delver
• Blade Control
• Eldrazi

So we lost SnT and ANT (Only just on ANT) while picking up Eldrazi. Though I wonder how much of the Edrazi we are seeing right now is that new post build. That thing is nuts.
