I was reading through another post on the best creatures in legacy and found all these creatures on that list. These creatures fall into 3 colors that are very synergetic. I was wondering why there has not been a deck built with all of them it it yet.


Creatures

3x Mother of runes
4x deathrite shaman
3x dark confidant
4x tarmogoyf
3x stoneforge mystic
3x Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
4x Knight of the Reliquary
1x terravore

Spells

2x Green suns Zenith
4x Abrupt Decay
4x Swords to Plowshares
2x Sylvan Library

Equipment

1x Sword of war and peace
1x umezawas jitte
1x batterskull

Lands (20)

8x fetches
3x savannah
3x scrubland
3x bayou
1x karakas
1x dryad arbor
1x forest
1x plains



Sideboard

TBD



Analysis

I dont know if 20 lands are enough especially with 99% of them being non basic, so i ideas are welcome about this. The mana curve is very low.

The one card I considered adding is liliana of the veil because a t2 liliana is pretty sweet, and should something happen to her goyf gets bigger, and she can control the board herself. only thinking of adding 2-3, maybe cutting 1 swords and 1 abrupt decay might make it work cause she also can kill creatures. She is really good vs show and tell to make them sacrifice their only creature. also adds decent defense vs combo decks.

Creatures

3x Mother of runes (amazing creature protector, and allows you to walk through mono colored decks and push attackers through blockers)
4x deathrite shaman (graveyard disruption, mana accel, mana fixing, stalled boards, answer to punishing fire, blocks lackey, ... omg this guy is retarded)
3x dark confidant (card advantage)
4x tarmogoyf (most efficient vanilla beater)
3x stoneforge mystic (card advantage and tutor for life gain equips)
3x Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (with no main deck discard the deck is weak vs combo, 3 main are almost required to stand a chance vs combo. Not to mention there are 25 creatures in the deck so it doesn't really slow me down)
4x Knight of the Reliquary (would like to fit more utility lands in the deck but otherwise he seems good, there might be other options for this)
1x terravore (if board gets stalled)

Spells

2x Green suns Zenith (mana accel into dryad arbor, fetch a terravore if board gets stalled)
4x Abrupt Decay (best permanent removal)
4x Swords to Plowshares (best creature removal in game)
2x Sylvan Library (card advantage and manipulate draws for confidant)

All of the Equipment are included because they all are able to provide life gain to offset dark confidants drawback.



So thats everything I've thought of so far throw me out some ideas and we'll run with them.

I might consider replacing 1 Sylvan Library for 1 Life From the Loam, and at least 1 Wasteland as a Knight of the Reliquary target to deal with things like Glacial Chasm or Maze of Ith. You don't really want to draw 2 Libraries and Loam has some synergy with Knight, Terravore, and Deathrite. Also Wasteland + Loam ruins some decks.

The reason there hasn't been a deck built that uses all of these creatures is because some of your creatures actively sabotage other creatures in your deck. For instance, Knight of the Reliquary really doesn't want to be played in a format where Deathrite Shaman is popular, and you playing your own is even worse--this is doubly worse for Terravore, which doesn't have any use other than being a big guy. Your deck also looks like it doesn't have the tools to make a Tarmogoyf big on its own--Deathrite Shaman will steadily be eating at lands (maybe creatures too), and you aren't playing cantrips or discard to actively put sorceries/instants in the graveyard.
