I took BUG Landstill to my weekly Legacy last night. The deck did well, didn't drop a game, although it was just a few rounds.
Here's the list:
3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
1 Garruk Relentless
1 Liliana of the Veil
4 Brainstorm
4 Standstill
4 Force of Will
3 Counterspell
2 Spell Snare
1 Life from the Loam
3 Innocent Blood
1 Diabolic Edict
3 Abrupt Decay
3 Pernicious Deed
1 Darkblast
2 Snapcaster Mage
3 Underground Sea
3 Tropical Island
1 Bayou
4 Polluted Delta
3 Verdant Catacomb
3 Wasteland
4 Mishra's Factory
1 Creeping Tarpit
1 Island
1 Swamp
Sideboard
1 Perish
2 Egineered Plague
1 Nihil Spellbomb
1 Zuran Orb
2 Chill
1 Hydroblast
2 Vendilion Clique
1 Extirpate
2 Duress
2 Flusterstorm
I'm not sure Garruk is correct, I just wanted another Planeswalker and I don't feel that Liliana really has enough synergy with the rest of the deck, since I want to keep cards in my hand. I could discard Lands, but with his deck, I really want to make my land drops, so I'm not really looking to max out on her. 4 Jace would be ok, but even with the new rules, I am not really looking to open up too many multiple Jace hands.
I was really pleased with the one Darkblast. I managed to take out a series of Delvers so I could keep my Bloods for Nemesis, Giest, etc.
I'm not sure that Edict was needed, I liked that it is an Instant, but I don't know it's necessary. I had it in when I wasn't going to run a Lili and when I added one of her back in, I didn't take it out.
The sideboard is a mess, as Elves and Burn are usually pretty over represented in our small meta. In fact, a kid playing his first competitive event went 3-1 with Burn and I would not be pleased losing to something that linear, hence the Chills and the Hydro with the Orb. I feel this deck is really well positioned in the current meta, although I might try to find another walker to run with Jace and a Lili, although Relentless may be the best one, since he can also be removal at times.
