Meekstone in Legacy

[Qweerios]

Hi, I am looking for cards or a good splash color for a deck abusing Meekstone, Royal Assassin, and Nantuko Shade. Here is what I have come up with so far:


Creatures (24)
4 Sleeper Agent
4 Rathi Trapper
4 Dark Confidant
4 Nantuko Shade
4 Royal Assassin
4 Hypnotic Specter

Spells (12)
4 Dark Ritual
4 Thoughtseize
4 Hymn to Tourach

Artifacts (6)
4 Meekstone
2 Umezawa's Jitte

Lands (18)
18 Swamp


Jitte, Bob, Hymn and TS are pretty much no-brainers in a monoblack deck. Rathi Trapper is better than Icy Manipulator at abusing Meekstone and Royal Assassin. Sleeper Agent is a neat trick that makes my opponent cringe.

Any suggestions of cards(any color) that would complement this combo?

White would be decent, as neither SFM nor Batterskull are effected by Meekstone.
Your deck needs some removal(StoP, Dismember) as you cant always get the lock active.
E-Tutor is an option to fetch Meekstone and can also be used to get a Needle or a Revoker to shut off Pridemage.

Oh, combo will eat you alive, so you need to dedicate a lot of space in the SB for it.

Meekstone is dead against a Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. It's dead against Batterskull and Stoneforge Mystic. It's dead against Grim Lavamancer which can kill every creature except that very terrible sleeper agent. I don't suggest trying to use Meekstone in this sort of deck as you have no ways to look for it and if you start splashing colors there are better routes to go.

Do you know that you are goddamn brilliant?
Meekstone was the card i've been searching for a long time.
Thanks for that.

Nice deck tech, did you consider splashing white?
Goldmeadow Harrier and Gideon's Lawkeeper might be something you are looking for.

Doran, the Siege Tower?

[Goaswerfraiejen]

Exalted is also a good option.

[Qweerios]

Doran is actually a very interesting approach. A couple of months ago, a deck based on Doran would be inconsistent but I think Green Sun's Zenith can fix that. The exalted mechanic is also very appealing. Qasali Pridemage and Noble Hierarch also happen to be in line with Doran. I would really like to play Grizzled Leotau too!

I am thinking of something like a Doran/Maverick/Junk type deck:


Creatures (23)
3 Gideon's Lawkeeper
4 Noble Hierarch
4 Dark Confidant
4 Qasali Pridemage
1 Grizzled Leotau
1 Gaddock Teeg
3 Doran, the Siege Tower
3 Royal Assassin

Spells (12)
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Green Sun's Zenith
4 Thoughtseize

Artifacts (3)
3 Meekstone

Lands (22)
4 Wasteland
2 Horizon Canopy
1 Dryad Arbor
2 Savannah
2 Bayou
1 Scrubland
1 Forest
1 Plains
1 Swamp
4 Windswept Heath
3 Verdant Catacombs


I left Vindicate out because the whole Meekstone/Assassin strategy + StP pretty much deals with creatures quite convincingly while 4 GSZ and 4 Pridemage can handle artifacts and enchantments fine. Maybe Treefolk Harbinger might be a good card for this but I am not convinced.
