Well, Dimir Ninjas seems to be the most accurate description of this deck, regardless of what variant is being played because it is Demir (i.e. U/B).

Is there any way to change the name of this deck thread to just Ninjas or U/B Ninjas or even Tempo Ninjas? There is nothing retro about this deck, lol.

Anyways, what are the thoughts from some of...

Firstly, we would still have to worry about counter magic (i.e. Spell Pierce, Flusterstorm, Counterspell, etc.). Secondly, you’re correct that we would still be susceptible to discard spells (i.e....

[QUOTE I might still have that .pdf lying around, though I'm not sure I'm allowed to share it here. I'd do some Googling for it because they did a pretty comprehensive job, though as a humanities...

[QUOTE thoughtseize was only fully relevant versus reanimator in G1. I'm not sure we win versus BR Reanimator in G1 anyway so maybe thoughtseize is wasted in maindeck.[/QUOTE]

You're...

Where did I say to leave in Thoughtseize against Burn? This is a palpable misapprehension to what I actually stated and was trying to convey. Indeed, although Thoughtseize most certainly does come...

Again, it is unfavourable; however, not heavily unfavourable like you dubiously suggest. I steadfastly disagree with you about being incorrect about the lack of interactivity once we combo off...

With respect, you could not be anymore erroneous!

Indeed, Deathrite Shaman is never on the table against burn for more then a single turn before he is killed as every single burn spell in the...

Aluren is far from an auto lose against burn!

Indeed, although it is not a favourable matchup by any means against burn, it is not unwinnable as you erroneously suggest. My own personal record in...

I would respectfully submit to you that Hymm is the best card in the deck against burn! One of the primary reaosns to play 4x instead of 3x. Just saying............

Out of all of those foregoing decks that you listed, I definitely would not recommend 12 Post or Dredge since you're new to legacy and want to get introduced into the format and get familiar with...

I steadfastly beleive that playing Dragonlord Dromoka in the sideboard is significantly worse than playing Xantid Swarm. I see his logic for doing it; however, it is not prudent strategy and in my...

Merfolk is really not popular right now in the present competitive legacy metagame and thus is not a tier 1 deck anymore. In any event, Merfolk is not an easy matchup; however, it not a bad matchup...

It amazes me that Zoo is not being played at all right now competitively in Legacy. Yes, it is not anywhere near tier one like it use to be; however, it should at least be 1.5 for a myriad of reasons...

Agreed! One of the most attractive options to playing this deck right now is being able to play Mom. Indeed, it is trite to say that Mother is a house right now in the present legacy metagame.

I concur. Running both Mandrills and Cruise in the same deck is not only a lack of mere synergy it is not plausibly playable or viable together. i simply cannot see playing both in the same deck.

One (1) is far too cute and although it is not a bad card per say, there are so many more better and more viable options for this deck. The flex spots are extremely tight right now whether you play...

I concur with the majority of this [recent] thread, Hidden Gibbons is prudent tech right now and in the present legacy metagame, it deserves some serious consideration for some sideboard slots.

Playing Wasteland and PTE together in the same deck does not make for good synergy.

Furthermore, 4x Lightning Helix is far too many even if you opt on playing it over much better and more viable...

Well in fairness, Mandrills doesn't "die" to submerge. Yes, it is not healthy and is a huge buzz kill; however, with no Mongoose or Treasure Cruise is is not too difficult to recast. Also, the threat...

I am compelled to believe that 3x is the correct number for Mandrills. 4x is too many primarily for the reason you have already articulated above. As already alluded to recently herein, the original...

I concur with everything you said pertaining to stifle; it is amazing right now in the present metagame and has so many tangible uses.

However, i categorically disagree with playing any number of...

Although not "stompy" per say, this deck that I am playing when I am not playing BUG and RUG variants is still, nevertheless, Faeries and uses a lot of the same cards and still fits within the...

All excellent points; however, you forgot to add how much better Mandrills is against Counterbalance!

So while both Mandrills and Nimble are equal against Terminus, people say well STP owns...

Dude, Chalice equally affects Mongoose. Bad argument.



Not really. Again, this cannot be emphasized enough, Nimble Mongoose is not playable in the same deck as Hooting Mandrills! So for the...
