Stupid question, but why no Sylvan Library (as a one of at least)?

From what I remember, Zoo decks used to play it, and it looks like if you can get one out on turn 2 you'll have lots of gas for...

1. Dystopia, if landed early, can wreck havoc. Couple it with Liliana and bad things can happen for them.
2. Contamination is useless once they have a land with Utopia Sprawl and/or Wild Growth on...

I run a 4th Bitterblossom in the sideboard.

I would board out the Persecutors, a Nighthawk and a Gatekeeper and board in my 4th Blossom, 3 Extirpates and 2 Phyrexian Metamorphs.

Having your...

Frankly, I think IOK is the worst discard option we can run. It doesn't get rid of Humily, JTMS, Natural Order and Batterskull, all of which are cards that are a bitch to deal with.

The one change I would make is change the IOK's to Thoughtseizes and take out an Innocent Blood for spot removal (Dismember, GffT, Victim of the Night, take your pick). And probably add a third...

Okay, to everyone suggesting Liliana of the Veil:

Do you plan to use her for her 1+ ability, or the Cruel Edict ability? If you want to use her Cruel Edict, I'd rather use an edict effect than...

In testing with some friends, I noticed that I'm not really fond of running 4 of the beatstick of choice.

I'd change my build to something like this:


17 Swamp
4 Wasteland

4 Dark Confidant...

IMO, if anything in the HiveMind deck should get the ax IF (and only if) WOTC decides to kill that deck is the card Hive Mind. Show and Tell is an enabler. Hive Mind is what changes the rules of the...

I'm curious about the 1 Gigapede in the main. I can figure out the synergy about pretty much everything else in the deck but that. I'm probably missing something (unless you want to dump a LftL into...

2x Jitte seems to be enough (even though I run a SoFaI as well), but Bitterblossom needs to be at least a 3 of in the deck. I'm strongly thinking of putting in a 4th one in the sideboard.

Cosboy:...

That was a great report dude. The deck seems really interesting, and odd. I love non-blue Control decks. Frankly, I just want to steal it and try it myself.

I'm also happy I didn't play you on...

Why are you guys disregarding Bitterblossom all together? I'd say that it's the best way to beat the control decks that we have.

I'm thinking of putting in a 4th one in the sideboard just to board...

This is what I'm going to be trying:

17 Swamp
4 Wasteland

4 Dark Confidant
4 Vampire Nighthawk
4 Gatekeeper Of Malakir
2 Phyrexian Obliterator
2 Abyssal Persecutor

I've tested the original build, Slypher's build and my "new" build over on Cockatrice, and I can say that Bitterblossom is GREAT in the original build and sorely missed in the other ones. What you...

Since Zenikar, MBC in standard has had a good amount of finishers: Persecutor, Grave Titan, Wurmcoil Engine (not black, but it's effective), Massacre Wurm and a few I'm missing, and it has yet to be...

It's going to go down. There's no good mono black control deck in Standard right now, so the price is going to go down, maybe to Grave Titan or Abyssal Persecutor prices. There's no reason for the...

I was using it more for the secondary effects of SoFaF more than anything, plus I'd be playing the 3 best (non-banned) equipment ever printed. I never drew SoFaF when testing on Cockatrice, but SoFI...

I'm trying this list on Cockatrice:

3 Tombstalker
4 Phyrexian Obliterator
4 Gatekeeper Of Malakir
4 Vampire Nighthawk

3 Phyrexian Arena
4 Dark Ritual
4 Go For The Throat

What's your current list now, Hollywood?

I tried the new build of The Gate yesterday on Cockatrice...........man do I miss Wasteland and Bitterblossom. Wasteland could have dealt with Ports and...

If you are running Thoughtseize, the choice would be to run Duress over IoK. I'd either go 3 Seize/2 Duress. If anything, Duress can be used to get rid of their Force Of Will, which is something that...

Why would you kick out Wasteland?!?!?!

For the Obliterator build, I wouldn't go up to 4 Bitterblossom (3 works fine for me), and I'd replace the Crusader with Go For The Throat or Smother. Crusader would have worked wonders for the deck...

This is my current list (SB was taken apart because half of it went in Merfolk fish, haven't had a chance to go to a Legacy night in a while):

4 Dark Confidant
4 Gatekeeper Of Malakir
4 Vampire...

New poster here.

Been playing for way too long. So long that I don't even remember how and why I started playing this game haha.

I've been meaning to start playing Legacy seriously for the past...
