[jamp07]

This is the list Im currently using. The idea came from a Mike Flores article where he talked about a deck called Dark Bant, I liked the idea and this is the 8th version.

// Lands
2 [R] Scrubland
4 [R] Savannah
3 [R] Tropical Island
1 [OD] Island (4)
3 [R] Tundra
4 [ON] Windswept Heath
2 [9E] Forest (3)
1 [ALA] Plains (3)
1 [R] Bayou

// Creatures
4 [RAV] Birds of Paradise
4 [CFX] Noble Hierarch
4 [RAV] Dark Confidant
4 [FUT] Tarmogoyf

// Lands
2 [R] Scrubland
4 [R] Savannah
3 [R] Tropical Island
1 [OD] Island (4)
3 [R] Tundra
4 [ON] Windswept Heath
2 [9E] Forest (3)
1 [ALA] Plains (3)
1 [R] Bayou

Nothing new here, just balancing the mana.

// Creatures
4 [RAV] Birds of Paradise
4 [CFX] Noble Hierarch
This are the acelerators of the deck.

4 [RAV] Dark Confidant
The drawer, I think ill put mulldrifter, or prehaps add thoughtseize so it makes more sense to have black.

4 [FUT] Tarmogoyf
Its the tarmo.

4 [R] Serendib Efreet
Its perfect for turn 2 with the acelerators, dosent die with 1 bolt, it has flying, and its atacking on turn 3

3 [ALA] Rafiq of the Many
This is for the double strike with the efreet on turn 3 with the right timming.

1 [ALA] Hellkite Overlord
For fetching, plan b actually

3 [ALA] Elspeth, Knight-Errant
This girl is amazing, +3/+3 flying its just what any creature needs to get to the target, and with rafiq its just nasty.

1 [CFX] Progenitus
For fetching, plan c.

// Spells
2 [FD] Engineered Explosives
Removal for hordes of creatures.

4 [R] Swords to Plowshares
1 [CFX] Path to Exile
Removal.

4 [VI] Natural Order
To fetch the dragon, progenitus or rafiq, depends on the situacion.

[Ozymandias]

The deck has a number of problems, but the most glaring is the complete concession to the combo matchup. You're never fast enough to race, and you have zero disruption.

Also, you fold to any reasonable removal complement, mana denial, or faster aggro

Im aware that combo is a loss. But i have all the sb for it, havent think on something to face it since its not the meta arround, only a friend plays combo here :laugh:

What recomendations do you have?

[THEchubbymuffin]

What is the average cc for this deck? It seems way too high for Dark Confidant.

[jamp07]

2.46 avg cc.

It seems, but I have not died because of it.

[alderon666]

I don't think you can have the luxury of 8 acceletors and no card draw in legacy, you just get your good guys Plow'ed and then draw Land, Birds, Land, Hierarch...

[jamp07]

No, I dont. Ideas for masive draw?

[baghdadbob]

What does your sideboard look like?

[Ectoplasm]

I don't know about you, but to me taking 10 to the face from flipping a progenitus to bob seems spiffy.
At least throw some tops in there, imo. :(

[jamp07]

Havent work out on the sideboard yet.

Some tops may help, and lossing 10 life to bob is not good. Havent happen yet, only once when i revealed hellkite XD, but 1 vs lots of games is not bad.
