So I decided to create this deck in order to capitalize on the strengths of these colors in a way which is rather unorthodox for most Legacy decks, the majority of which have a strong concentration of Blue. My testing thus far has included Coutertop, Zoo, and Merfolk,which were strong matches for me, and Emrakul/Sneak Attack and Red Deck Wins which were weak matches pre-SB. I will be testing against Painter's Savant/Grindstone, Goblins, and the new Solidarity decks also. Without further ado, here is my Monstrosity:
Creatures:
3 Grave-Shell Scarab
1 Gigapede
2 Eternal Dragon
3 Krosan Tusker
Removal:
4 Swords to Plowshares
2 Diabolic Edict
2 Damnation
2 Wrath of God
3 Engineered Explosives
3 Mortify
Discard:
3 Duress
3 Gerrard's Verdict
3 Hymn to Tourach
Other:
3 Sensei's Divining Top
Lands:
4 Marsh Flats
2 Windswept Heath
3 Swamp
2 Plains
2 Forest
3 Bayou
1 Scrubland
3 Savannah
3 Nantuko Monastery
SB:
2 Pithing Needle
2 Extirpate
3 Rule of Law
3 Leyline of Sanctity
1 Wrath of God
1 Damnation
3 Krosan Grip
As you can see my SB is keyed to handling most of the combo decks that are out there between, primarily with Needle, Rule, and Leyline. About all of the combo decks require that I be targeted so Leyline is perfect. I've toyed with the idea of using Engineered Plague or Infest, but I'm not sure if they are necessary. Any tips, card choice advice, or other decks to consider in testing, etc. are welcome. :-)
