Tombstone...? *runs over to the Established forum to refresh his memory*
I voted "other"--in my opinion, Eldariel really pushed chalice-based aggro in Legacy, and it's got a significant presence at the top of the second tier.
But really, I fail to see the point of this poll. It achieves little save bruised egos and a massive pissing contest.
Wow. Hard to believe I honestly didn't make that list after making two decks from scratch that were reinvented/twisted into other concepts that evolved into top contenders - one of which made top 8 at Worlds. Truly awe-inspiring. For as average as I've played over the years, I give myself credit for trying harder at this than anyone else and didn't even get an honorable mention.
/pissed.
And what about my contributions to progressing the Lackey-less Vial Goblin Archtype, Goblin Sligh, and Seething Gobvantage? Huh? Oh. One-trick pony you say? Alright.... Wait until I unleash the newest beast upon ye.... /mad scientist off.
Seriously. Hatfields. I love a lot of the work many of the others have done, but without the Hatfields groundwork for Thresh variants, we wouldn't ahve strong starting points to gear and test our decks against and most of the other decks up there would be completely different or non-existant.

You cannot know the sweetness of Victory, without first dwelling in the agony of Defeat.
No solidarity?
I voted for IBA
From the other side of the ocean, my vote goes for the Hatfields, these guys are, at the same time, amazing deckbuilders and solid players that combine creative deckbuilding (Moon Thresh makes me get hard) with good Top 8 results.
Special mention for Bryant Cook for creating a beast that he can only play porperly and Tacosnape for keeping us for including bad cards in Dragon Stompy.
We tried to copy the Source, but then we realized we're spanish
If my post results dumb or offensive, it's probably just me miserably failing at being ironic in a foreign language
No one has played any Game variant in over a year. I'll gladly give you credit for discovering the card, but that doesn't compare to the influence of Threshold. I don't think you should feel offended compared to say, David Gearhart or Dave Price.
Although to be fair a few of the choices on this poll don't really belong either.
Early one morning while making the round,
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down;
I went right home and I went to bed,
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head.
That's like, the best option on the list, hun ?I voted for IBA
I mean, Rabid Wombat + Train Wreck, such awesomeness imho. :)
But in fact, everyone who build lists from scratch and top8 with it kinda deserves props, too.

I don't see why Lam shouldn't be on here, he created the Legacy World Champion deck, as well as 2 of the other top 8 decks, that have continued to put up results. Hell, it just won an 88 man event in Spain.

<which is the origin of Cephalid Breakfast>
There's tournament reports too. I'm not trolling and don't question my accomplishments in the format - I've created more than that and top 8'ed with my own builds at almost every major tournament I've competed in in the last 5 years. Just because they aren't recent, doesn't mean they aren't worthy to mention. When someone takes time to put hard work into a project and win with it, they should deserve respect. It's like trying for nothing. I've done better than Gearheart and Price with my own builds at major events.
I'd like to see you top 4 at a major tourney with Polar Kraken, Blood Lust, or Gamekeeper. the fact I can do it should inspire people to have fun and try to make intelligent choices when building their own decks. But someone ignorant like you wouldn't or couldn't understand that because too many people on here don't think outside the box and too consumed with the
"best decks" when they should be concerned with the decks that are on the rise. People like Cavius deserve credit because albeit his ideas, he makes them work. That's how I roll.
Hollywood, I'm not gonna stand in the way of you claiming credit on anything, but Polar express isn't really the origin of Breakfast. If anything is, it's Old Extended Breakfast.
All you guys are just kidding yourselves. Anyone who knows anything knows that Mike Glow invented all of these decks first.
My only dream is that yours never come true.
"People played violin as the Titanic sank. Tomorrow they will play Green Day songs with plastic keytars as their Hoovervilles burn."
I hope this thread doesn't degenerate into arguing about who thought of which deck idea first. Legacy (like every other format) is a collaborative effort between people working together (playtesting) and trial by fire (competitive tournaments). Nobody designs decks in a bubble. The majority of the "hot tech" in every archetype is borrowed from some previous deck.
With that being said, my vote goes to 'Other-Emidln'. Innovations/optimizations include Spanish Inquisition, Grim IGGy, Fetchland Tendrils, Sun Tower.
@ A Legend.
You should forgive them not knowing you designed the Game since
1) It is an old deck seeing no play
2) You posted it under a different name.
Though it is still awesome.
As for Polar Express being some how related to Cephalid Breakfast.
How do you figure that.
The decks are nothing alike except one build of Breakfast has run ghoul.
@ B.C.
Aren't Spanish Inquistion, Grim Iggy, and Fetchland Tendrils all just different evolutions of the same deck?
