Ok so I was thinking about building a stax deck and I used to love the pirates from MM and I thought, hey these have decent synergy b/t them. So here's my current, rough decklist.

Creatures
4x rishadan cutpurse
3x rishadan footpad

spells
4x chalice of the void
4x smokestack
4x trinisphere
4x mox diamond
4x rhystic study (just added over impulse, seems strong with the deck)
3x crucible of the worlds
3x engineered explosives

land
4x rishadan port
4x wasteland
4x ancient tomb
4x city of traitors
4x mishra's factory
7x island

sideboard
3x pithing needle
3x tormod's crypt
3x blue elemental blast
3x arcane laboratory
3x propoganda

I just made it yesterday and have only played a few games, the sideboard is basically for goblins, and a lil for combo (laboratory and crpyt) because I some combo hate maindecked (chalice trinisphere).

I haven't tested out the deck vs any aggro yet and I haven't tested the study's but they seem like they could give stax a nice draw engine, or at least be a one sided sphere of resistence, either way its good. The pirates not only can kill an opponents permanent, but they can also be sacced to smokestack if needed.

I feel from initial testing that the deck could be pretty decent though, just seeing if anyone has any suggestions right off the bat that they think would help this deck survive in legacy. I was thinking maybe I needed more draw or something.
