I'll be playing in an event that should have over 60 players. Should be a full powered (most non budget decks) and very diverse (prob not much belcher/tes type decks)
Stuff like: Rug, Maverick, Sneak n Show, Nic Fit, Aggro Loam, Dredge, Esper Control, Reanimator, Elves, Bug and Goblins/Merfolk Should all be out in numbers.
What deck would you bring to this event ( I can make everything except RUG (no goyf) and high tide (no candles).
If you CAN, you should build a Goblin deck designed to beat other Goblin decks, as it seems like if you can make the mirror better than 50/50 you'd be poised to roll everything except Enchantress in that metagame.Quote:

The answer is usually "Whatever you are most familiar with / play best." But Zombardment seems pretty solid there, as does Goblins. Belcher's also a decent option if the decks you listed are fairly evenly split.Quote:

Just play it faster, :tongue:Quote:

The best player around will be playing either Miracles or Nic Fit, so having something with a good matchup against those decks would be very important.
I recently started playing Magic again after a 14 year hiatus and have entered Legacy via The Gate and Modern via Jund. Since I sold off my collection back in the day, the only real staples I own are the ones in those decks (Bob, Wasteland, Goyf etc). I haven't played enough to know my local meta by heart but among the DTB:s I've so far encountered Maverick, Miracle Control, Blade Control and Goblins, with Maverick being the most popular.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good deck that could be built using at least some of the staples I own as a starting point? If possible, I'd like to keep the deck in two colors so that I don't have to buy more than one playset of ABU duals to begin with.
One deck that caught my eye is BW Stoneblade over at MTGS http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=342919 (sorry, I wasn't able to find a BW Stoneblade thread over here). Would that be a good option or is it far behind the current DTB:s?
Check the Deathguy Ale thread in Established, that is the BW Stoneblade thread here.
I believe it isn't a bad choice to start with, it isn't T1 ofcourse, but it's not a bad deck at all.
The Junk list that top8ed at GP Ghent seems like an excellent choice.
Ah, I was under the impression that Deadguy Ale is slightly different from BW Stoneblade but perhaps that's more of an opinion. Thanks!Quote:

the metagame i play in is a local card store with a bunch of really good players. usually has between two maverick decks, a quadlaser dredge, a reanimator, rug delver, burn, one guy who always brings his high tide deck, and a couple of guys who play u/w stone miracles or straight up stoneblade. the current deck i've been playing their is a basic LED dredge list, i know i normally shouldnt play wiht it at a local meta but i do it mostly to gain experience playing the deck against good competition. for this type of setting im tempted to try out going to manaless against the vast number of guys playing blue counters or possibly switching to my aggro affinity build as artifact hate is NONEXISTENT. any thoughts ?
I want to play a deck that has:
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
Lodestone Golem
In it. Thoughts?

A few things I do know:
- This is not a very affluent area of the country. I expect card availability to be an issue for many of the players.
- There was a StarCityGames Open a month ago in a more major city (three hours away). At the Open, I noticed a lot of players on some older lists that seemed like pet decks or budget decks - an un-updated Esper Stoneblade list, High Tide, Affinity, Merfolk, Goblins, Elves. This is a small sample size and not necessarily indicative of what I'll see in this smaller town.
- I expect the turnout to be comprised largely of locals in the area. This is not a destination location.
- Otherwise, I know very little about the expected meta.
EDIT: After some more sleuthing, seems like combo decks of all types will be represented more highly than usual. Hope that will shed more light!
So what say you, sourcers? I appeal to your knowledge! A largely unknown meta, with just a few pieces of information to help. I have or can acquire most of the cards to build any deck, with the exception of probably Show and Tell and Candelabra Tide.
My initial thought is to go for Stoneblade with Terminus MB and Supreme Verdict SB. I want to play RUG but there's no guarantee that there will be enough duals/fetches to Stifle and Wasteland. Thoughts? Would be open to multiple suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your kind help!
I have burn, but I find it lacking sometimes in my meta.
So, I would like an advice concerning my metagame.
These decks are represented:
1. Uw Control
2. Ad nauseam combo
3. UG aggro
4. Miracle
5. Omniscience
6. Maverick
7. High Tide
And some more, on big events everything is represented.
I want something preferrably cheap, I have burn and it is good, but I want to have another deck.
I have looked into dredge, it is good, but are there more options?
Voley,
A little bit of more information is needed to give you a good answer. What types of cards do you already have? (Force of Will? Any Duals? Fetches?) This will help us figure out if you might have cards to deal with an existing deck already that might work well in your meta.
As for burn, in that meta if you play a sideboard focused on anti-blue and anti-combo, you should do well vs. most of that field (since aggro seems underrepresented.) I'd run your Sideboard with a lot of Red Elemental Blasts and Leyline of Sanctity.
I'm in Los angeles, so the meta is pretty diverse.
I can play dredge, bant stoneblade, UR delver, or bant green sun zenith style
which one do you think i should play. Unfortunately, i sold my goyfs, so otherwise i would have played rug.
Im a big fan of UR Delver. Tryit out!
Hi there. I'm pretty new to legacy, and just started going to my local shop with a good ole fashioned burn deck a few weeks ago. It seems like everybody there is either playing goblins or countertop miracles. Got any recommendations for what I should build next? Given a choice between the two, I'm much more stumped on the CBtop match-up. It doesn't seem to have a bad match-up as far as I can tell. Lets pretend that money is no object...whats CBtop's black beast?
Goblins? xD Get ready for the mirror !Quote:
