I haven't played Legends MUD, but my impression is that it beats up the midrange/creature decks running around right now. However, I would suggest starting off with traditional MUD: it might not be as good in this meta, but it's probably more flexible in the longterm.

I wouldn't personally run Ensnaring Bridge in traditional MUD, but it's not out of the question. Ugin lets you play over your own Bridges, while Spine/Forgemaster give you a way of getting rid of your Bridge when you're ready to swing. A few days ago I'd speculated that Wurmcoil would be good anti-Eldrazi tech without messing up our build, but I dunno if anyone's really played that out or not (you can see MGB decided against it).
Thank you! Yes, I was all over that right after Eternal Masters was announced. Fortunately, I got the necessary cards before prices jumped too high. I got 2 City of Traitors last year at around $60, the other 2 I got at $80 - right before it jumped to over $100. I also have the Grim Monoliths, Metalworkers, and Mox Diamonds (just in case I care to give Stax a try down the line).

I'm working on getting the other pieces. I'm not sure waiting on Eternal Masters to reprint cards is the right move, so I'll be completing my playset of Chalice of the Void this weekend.

I think I will be taking your advice and trying out the classic build for now - I do have the Metalworkers after all. I also agree, Wurmcoil Engine is an excellent place to start with the Eldrazi match-up, that'll probably be a 4-of. One of the other posters mentioned Platinum Emperion - that seems pretty good too. Classic MUD has tools to fight those decks, no doubt about that.

Thanks very much for responding so quickly!
