    Word, you should get credit too, if only for writing the primer.

    Emidlin should be on here too. Fetchland Tendrils has been tearing it up as of late, and Sun Tower was the best deck never played in the older format.

    My vote is definately split between my two teammates.

    This is for deckbuilders, which I am not. Lam should definitely be on this list.

    Cavius is probably one of the most creative deck builders on this site and others. I'm not suprised that he has a ton of votes since ppl tend to flock to his threads. (To be fair, a few of the Mods didn't want him included in the list).
    I want you to cook up some desperate chart that ties influence to creativity.

    I'll be waiting.

    Edit: Reason #2 I voted for the Hatfields is because they've been a constant competitive presence in the meta-game that's responsible for more overall format innovation than any other. So their influence extends beyond just Threshold to a great many decks that have come out of Northern Virginia.

    Not to mention people flocking to his thread might be a far cry from a positive thing.
    I've never seen him so upset....or ever before.

    No wai? Cavius is almost tied with the hats? Shame the day :p

    Now, for content: I personally like Cavious' decks. That's not to say I wouldn't want to see them at a tournament, but I lke them. I just don't think that he is influential, the key qulaifier in the poll. I don't intend to prattle on about why the Hatfields are such a metagame force, but I do want to point out one inportant thing:

    We would all be playing any deck that IBA crafted if it was partially blue. On that note, hey IBA, have you been building anything that fits that discription atm?

    If it's all in our heads, it's best that we don't loose them.

    I went with the Hatfields on this one. I am rather shocked with the way the voting has turned out. I mean, how many alts does Cavius have?

    Re: The Most Influential Legacy Deck Builder Contest

    I voted for IBA because he made non-blue control that dominates Thresh. It could dominate the meta but no one plays it . Beats Thresh, Dragon Stompy, Goblins, and can beat combo if it uses Goyf and disruption. I guess people just like having Blue up their ass.

    Also, the list seems really weird. Some are left off and some were put on.

    EDIT- IDEA! I think it would be a lot easier to just post what decks they created and why they should be on the list. I know that it has been done, kind of, but there seems to be a little dispute and both arguements have merit. I don't want it to be a debate or anything, but I think it would be fair to Parcher and Zork, who have played the deck successfully and might have had some influencial ideas (not sure, haven't looked at times). It would be nice if there could be a larger selection of deck builders.

    Germany seems to find me influential. Have you ever Googled "Nourishing Lich"?

    The only veteran I see on the list is IBA, and he is apparently not popular, so this is definitely not going to achieve anything.

    Anyway, like I said before, this is simply another KevinLou wins best Legacy Strategist contest (at MTGSalvation) because he has the most fanboys.

    All I'm saying is that I don't see the point in this "contest." What is the point of bragging rights at the cost of 4+ pages of internet arguing? In the end, people will still believe it is who they originally thought it was, even if they aren't "right." And then, what has this poll accomplished anyway?

    That doesn't mean anything. If you Google "Vile Horror" or "Vial Horror" you'll find 1-2 German Forums, ~2 Italian Forums, and 1 Japanese discussion of the deck in addition to the 14 (English) horrible spin-off variations elsewhere among the results. The fact that nobody actually plays Nourishing Lich like they did Truffle Shuffle or Dragon Stompy (the only two decks among those from the choices here that have had an influence on the metagame itself) means that it was not influential - in the same way that my deck isn't influential either. Just because it might be good (or even great) doesn't mean it is influential. ...And that's the point of rogue deckbuilding in the beginning.
