It looks like that even in a budget format, burn is still weak. Congratulations to the winner for his Thopter combo deck!

Poor Burn (it looks like it got pwned by Counterbalance)

I would like to see a report on the Thopter combo deck and whatever changes Illissius wish he/she made (given it is still budget)

Wow, nobody played combo dedicated combo, just like two elves and a dream halls. EDIT: And burn.

I thought there'd be a lot of Budget Belcher/SI, considering you're guaranteed not to face Force of Will, but it seemed that people didn't want to be "that guy."


Illisius's deck honestly looks like the most interesting deck (maybe the Dream Halls deck) and a really good use of his budget, so congrats to him!

Illisius beat me both times on a Factory race. I accidentally all of my Staves one way or another and ended up with Progenitus in hand both games.

@ Forbiddian


I thought there'd be a lot of Budget Belcher/SI, considering you're guaranteed not to face Force of Will, but it seemed that people didn't want to be "that guy."

Per the rules:


Legacy Format/Cardpool, with 2 additions: Empty the Warrens and Tendrils of Agony are banned.

We had agreed these two cards made the best deck at $50. Belcher alone and the other storm options weren't nearly as impressive, imho.

While we didn't see a lot of dedicated combo (you forgot one), overall we saw many combos played though:


Thopter/Foundry + Ruins/Trinket Mage/Toolbox in a control shell
Elves w/Prog
Dream Halls with a minimal control shell
Proteus Staff in a control shell
Glimpse Elves
Hypergenesis
