Hey folks, I am a new Legacy player, and since a friend of mine is switching from standard to legacy I am tagging along and want to build a more competitive deck. I've been goofing around with the format for a couple of months and have managed to sneak into a top 8 a couple of times at local 30-40 man tournaments with burn and Kithkin due to favorable match ups and ID's. I now want to build another Legacy deck and I am thinking of either building Zoo or Merfolk. I'm open to other decks as well, but it seemed like both of those had a lot of cards that work in other decks, are fun to play, and are tier 1. My meta has basically everything, there are some long time legacy players and some newcomers like myself, and the top 8 usually looks like a mix of the decks to beat and established decks forum here.
Based on my budget, I was thinking I would build one of the following, then add either more duals in the case of zoo, or eventually fetches, duals, and goyf in the case of merfolk. The options I have in mind are:
A. Build Zoo, but run 8 fetches and 1 of each of the on color duals and of course Goyf, so my manabase would be iffy but I would have the standard burn and creature package.
B. Build your typical mono blue 'folk deck with FoW, Vial, etc.
C: Something else that is a better suggestion, dredge maybe?
Thanks for the help!
