    [Discussion] VoroshStill vs Its the Fear

    I've been looking at both of these decks for a while now and both seem to have some potential as being a great deck in Legacy. Kevin Binswanger suggested that Voroshstill has the edge over Its the Fear because of "the sturdier manabase and a perceived better resistance to early game assaults" Both decks pack cards like P. Deed, Countertop, Tarmogoyf ect. However the deck are quite different from one another and deserve some attention.

    VoroshStill

    Maindeck:
    Artifacts
    3 Engineered Explosives
    3 Sensei's Divining Top
    1 Crucible Of Worlds

    Creatures
    4 Tarmogoyf

    Enchantments
    4 Standstill
    3 Counterbalance
    3 Pernicious Deed

    Instants
    4 Brainstorm
    4 Counterspell
    4 Force Of Will
    3 Smother

    Lands
    4 Mishra's Factory
    3 Wasteland
    4 Flooded Strand
    4 Polluted Delta
    3 Tropical Island
    3 Underground Sea
    2 Island
    1 Breeding Pool

    Sideboard:
    4 Hydroblast
    3 Engineered Plague
    3 Extirpate
    3 Thoughtseize
    2 Krosan Grip

    vs

    Its the Fear

    Maindeck
    4 Brainstorm
    4 Swords to Plowshares
    3 Sensei's Divining Top
    4 Counterbalance
    4 Tarmogoyf
    3 Counterspell
    1 Life from the Loam
    4 Intuition
    3 Pernicious Deed
    2 Vedalken Shackles
    1 Eternal Witness
    4 Force of Will
    2 Engineered Explosives

    Lands
    4 Polluted Delta
    4 Flooded Strand
    4 Tropical Island
    3 Underground Sea
    3 Tundra
    1 Island
    1 Volrath's Stronghold
    1 Academy Ruins

    Sideboard:
    4 Leyline of the Void
    3 Krosan Grip
    2 Life from the Loam
    2 Engineered Explosives
    4 Blue Elemental Blast

    I think Its the Fear plays more like a control deck with Intuition, Shackles, StP and Life from the Loam. However Voroshstill has Edicts, more Engineered Explosives, Manalands/Wastelands + Crucible Of Worlds and Standstill. It may be a preference or maybe one is really superior to the other. At any rate, I thought this would make a good discussion to see which one ends up getting the edge or why you would play one over the other in any given instance.
