Help me build my suitcase.

[ceustice]

I carry a bag full of Legacy decks with me everywhere I go, I try to keep it current with most of the top tier decks. I do try to stay away from non-interactive decks because I just don't enjoy to play them or against them it's just not fun.
The Suitcase 6/18
MUD (Welder less)
D&T
RUG-Delver
Burning Explorer Rock (Burning Nic-Fit)
Esper Stone Blade
Spiral Tide
Combo Elves (Mono Green)
Zoo (not quit 1 drop but fast Zoo with Goblin Guide)
I have enough duals and cards to build more but I'm undecided please help me give me a list of the 12 decks you think I should build.
Thanks in advance
Edit: Forgot Aggro Loam

I like the 8 you listed but you said you want 16, so the next 8 would be...

1. GOBLINS!
-Just won a SCG Open, super fun to play, doesn't use any cards that you're want to use in another deck. (My personal pet deck)
2. Reanimator
-Pick up yer 4 Griselbrands and do some broken shit.
3. Maverick
-Keeps showing up in top-8's and sometimes is the entire top-8.
4. Belcher
-I know you said you don't want non-interactive decks, but sometimes you only want to make 1 decision a game.
5. Burn
-Just cuz.
6. BUG Control
- I think this deck is horribly underplayed and looks like a ton of fun.
7. Miracle Control
- This Deck's building steam.
8. Dredge
-Cuz ya gotta have Dredge.

[TheElvishPiper]

I agree with the previous post

[ceustice]

-Maverick
-Grixis
-Miracles
-Enchantress
All top my list Enchantress I have no idea why I want to build it. Miracles I've been reluctant to build even though its had a few good finishes I never hear anything good about it.

[Julian23]

18th deck should always be Nourishing Lich. In Japanese Foil, can you do it?

[Richard Cheese]

Agreed on Belcher and Maverick. Maverick is just good, while Belcher is a pretty good introductory combo deck.

Goblins and Elves are both nice because they don't share many cards with other decks, so they're easy to leave together.

I would go with U/R Delver over Burn personally, easy to pick up, but a lot more interactive.

Deadguy, Lands, Pox, and Enchantress are all pretty interesting decks, play style wise.

[from Cairo]

I agree with what most everyone else is suggesting...

Some of these aren't so interactive, but I mean if putting together a gauntlet I think they're things one is likely to run into at events.

Maverick
Sneak and Show/Reanimator
Deadguy
Enchantress/Lands
Burn/UR Delver
Goblins
TES/ANT
Dredge

The briefcase should have bulletproof walls, most definitely with good steel edges in case you need to muck someone with it. The interior walls should have a mesh of metal for crush resistance in case you need to hold up a lowering security door ala The Thomas Crown Affair.

Ideally, in the seams, should also be small daggers in case you should ever need it. I'm pretty sure with all that, you should be able to get out of most situations. Plus, you could put 16 decks inside :tongue:

[ceustice]

I scared to build any Show and Tell decks right now out of fear of it getting banned I could rebuild Reanimator though all the cards are just sitting in a binder except the Griselbands.
Wish the case was bullet proof and what not its just a semi fancy lunch box from Wal-Mart just happens to hold 16 Ultra Pro Mana Symbol deck boxes.

[boneclub24]

Affinity, Eva Green, Infecy/Berserk combo are all ones I would include.

[GradStudentGuy]

It should include a battle of wits deck.

[Koby]

It should include a battle of wits deck.

Correction. A Battle of Wits deck is all one needs. It contains at least 4 playable decks within. :laugh:

[klaus]

Is it really necessary that you carry all those decks around all the time?
Don't those stories about stolen bags scare you?

Pretty much what I would have said also. Good list, though I might have added a pet deck of some random crap overly metagamed out to beat Delver just to beat up on smart asses with.

Necessary no but fun I have a few decks I love to play with and my pet deck D&T, but sometimes people want to play specific match ups and in always happy to help.
As far as scared about them getting stolen yes I'm terrified when I go to events I always bring 1 extra person just to watch my stuff and I buy them food & drinks and what not for the weekend.

Edit: Also I'll be adding DGA this week, and Macerick by next week.

If I'm not playing a tournament, in which case I'd have one deck, I'd just proxy everything. Walking around with, say, $10k in a suitcase is retarded.

[ceustice]

Retarded is strong, but shrug. Some people like to Cube (I'm one), or have extra packs around to draft, I carry enough decks around that if me and my friends want to run a gauntlet or tournament we can its always a blast. Also if you think just carrying my deck case around which is easily over 10k then knowing that I also have a rolling case($150) suitcase with another $10k of cards.

Updates to the deck case:
#1. Zoo (updated a lot Mary Jacobson's list)
#2. Mono Blue Fish
#3. Mono Brown MUD
#4. BG NicFit - Explorer Rock
#5. UW Stoneblade
#6. Grixis Delver
#7. Death & Taxes (nearly all pimped my pet deck)
#8. GW Combo Elves (updated to Caleb Durward's current list)
#9. SpiralTide (hate this deck so unfun for everyone)
#10. Aggroloam (love this deck)
#11. Deadguy Ale
Have room for 1 more but not sure what, leaning toward Mavrick, or UR Painter.

Your cards, your problem lol.

That said, UR Painter is a fun deck. Maverick is a good deck. Do you want something good or quirky?

Edit: Or cut SpiralTide, and put both in.

Show and Tell won't get banned because of any cards that are out now. It came out the gate with a bang but has since fizzled. People weren't running the cards that were good against it, now they are and it has absolutely killed the deck. I wouldn't say any strong card will NEVER be banned especially Show and Tell, but it looks safe for now and when people stop slinging the cards that are currently keeping it down over time it may become playable again in short bursts ALA Dredge.

--Reanimator (Unless Entomb gets canned again, this will stay viable)
--Belcher (theres probably some sort of way to add Griselbrand in here (!)
--Tide (Pick a variant, I like the hybrids)
--Dredge (Cheap, always viable)
--UGr tempo deck (Canadian Thresh preferably, but there's probably a Madness variant waiting now that there's 8 careful studies)
--Blue-Based Control (This is broad, but always changing when it comes to viability. Can include SFM, or CB)
--Some sort of Prison deck, but it's hard to figure out what's viable right now. Maverick could almost be considered Prison. There's also probably a Prison deck with Planeswalkers that's just not quite fast enough.
-- Tribal/Vial deck. Goblins, Merfolk. Maybe some other Tribal stuff. Relatively cheap, and viable.
-- 20/20/20 deck. Probably not viable with Griselbrand running around, but regardless.
