Here's a sample list from extended for a more controllish version of aggro-loam.
1 Overgrown Tomb
1 Stomping Ground
1 Blood Crypt
3 Forgotten Cave
3 Tranquil Thicket
1 Swamp
5 Mountain
5 Forest
4 Bloodstained Mire
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Destructive Flow
3 Life From the Loam
3 Devastating Dreams
4 Burning Wish
4 Duress
2 Engineered Explosives
4 Pernicious Deed
4 Seismic Assault
4 Terravore
Sideboard:
4 Withered Wretch
3 Krosan Grip
3 Pyroclasm
1 Infest
1 Life from the Loam
1 Devastating Dreams
1 Last Rites
1 Shattering spree
Aside from the obvious, like real duals in place of shocklands, what is this archetype missing to be competitive in legacy, or is it just waiting for someone to fine-tune a list and go to town?
Admittedly, this list is pre-Tarmogoyf, and from a format without daze or force, but legacy is not that much faster than extended, just more consistent imo.
Until the big 2008 rotation, extended is more or less legacy-lite, and you can find several parallels between the formats, so I'm surprised that fewer decks are coming across.
I also think BG/x control could be alot more competitive than it is currently, but it's an example of an archetype that needs to be more different from it's extended relations to be more successful.
