I just got murked by fluctator storm. This is the darkest timeline.
It's hard for me to imagine these ten decks are representative of the meta to come.
Even if it were a significant sample size, the meta is shaking up big time. If anything people are excited to play more combo is all. Either way, that kind of meta looks too exploitable to endure if it happens to be the start of a trend.
Fish looks pretty good in that mix - running both CotV and FoW. Old Tezzerator lists used to run Forces along side Chalice too. Tezz has never had a chance to be developed and optimised - it has lots of options. Not to say we would need to dig up fringe decks to answer a combo heavy meta! Just musing on the possibilities. This is a very interesting time to be playing Legacy I think.
Food Chain might be underrepresented since it's a pain in the ass to play on MTGO.
As someone who's having fun working on a shadow of the grave fluctuator list, what did this list look like/include?Quote:

Seems like it would be easier to get to critical mass with Living Death though and the one mana difference is largely irrelevant in a deck like this. Run some combo of Chalice, Sol Lands, FoW, Fluctuator, Cabal Ritual, Shadow of the Grave, Treasure Hunt and all the biggest blue and black cyclers.Quote:

What's the highest amount of non cycling cards this can run without bricking all the time?
The deck I was working on uses Lab Maniac as a win, which just seems better?
Rufus and I tried doing the math here (starting from post 9): http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?31559-Shadow-of-the-FluctuatorQuote:

Split second stuff was good but he easily drew more fluctuators than I drew grips since he had a ton of lands and could just keep cycling. It was interesting and ended up being much better against my hate than normal storm would have been.
That's certainly a valid option.Quote:

Not terribly surprising to see a spike in Git. Probe representation after an effective CB ban. As much talk about DRS is next there is, Probe is the more likely target.
Probably worth looking at legacy before the DTT ban where Git Probe was the largest driver of turning on the most successful decks. As SnT rises so too will Grixis Pyro decks; expect legacy to get more blue as a fxn of Probe/SnT vs Probe/Cabal. Should be a fun creative space for legacy as decks are forced more towards the mana floor and their quickest, meanest forms.
