This Top8 list from Mike Altizer is more resemblant of Brassman CounterTop, featuring a red plash over white and black, though it also resembles a more traditional Painter's deck with Red Blasts to go with Painter's Servant. It also features a singleton Dreadnought to go with the four Stifles.

I'll put up my own list in a bit.

Interesting lists, in that they resemble my list from a year ago.

This deck is very different from EPIC painter, in that it plays Tarmogoyf.

This makes it almost strictly better. Didn't Adam play his tarmogoyfs on the board to give him some credit. Plus this deck has a better name.

Goyf, Swords, Daze and no Lim-Dul's Vault. One's a combo deck, the other has roughly the same 45 cards every aggro-control deck plays in Legacy.

This list is pretty similar to jazzykat's Next Level Painter seen here.

Which was derived from EPIC Painter

This started from EPIC painter. My biggest issue with EPIC painter was, I needed to stop being beaten down and comboing out wasn't always fast enough (Especially now that everyone and their brother are playing Grip. Thus I put in Goyf and Shackles MD. We learned from the GP that 4/4 CB/Top was tech even with trinket mages so the top count was upped.

Thank you for mangling my name. I certainly appreciate it.

[/sarcasm]

I'll post more about the deck later. But that really irritated me.

Also, why did somebody who wasn't me post a thread about my deck? That's confusing.

Also, expect a tournament report this weekend. I just have to finish up a couple of other things first. This month is pretty busy for me.

...apologies, didn't mean any offense to anybody. I just want to clarify what the deck is.

Anyways, yes this deck is basically Legacy CounterTop modified to include Painter's Grindstone. It's a "Legacy Blue" deck at the core, with a very powerful combo built-in.

Next Level Painter was kinda off the page, so I missed it. Anyways, this deck does have a better name.

Didn't the same thing happen with Solidarity?

@List: Was Fabricate tested at all in the Trinket Mage slot? They fill the same roll but Fabicate can get you painter. The down side is you lose the body.
