Survival Players, what decks are you gonna switch to?

[Philipp2293]

So, I've been playing GW Survival for a while now (with about 2 months inbetween where I played Planeswalker Rock). My next choice will be Big Zoo, but I consider building GW Maverick too. I have currently built UB Merfolk if my meta heavily changes towards blue decks. I also consider building Non-Surivival Ooze and Sneak Show.

What about you?

[Nidd]

I played Bant Survival, but I have Thopter Affinity, TES, FT, Dredge, Goblins, Bant Aggro and probably soon The Rock or some kind of CounterTop as substitutes.

I'm really gonna miss resolving turn 2 Survival and chaining Goyfs =/

[Mark Sun]

UGw Tempo, Zoo, or on days where I feel like losing rating and getting dreamcrushed, Landstill.

[conboy31]

I have been thinking about that a lot lately.

I know I won't play zoo or merfolk. Instead, possibly TEPS or DDFT (where I have my largest deficits as a player), developing a mud / U mud stomply list, among other things.

[dahcmai]

I will be going to be going back to Reanimator now that the ooze combo has sped it up by a few turns and Extirpate will see a little less play again.

Landstill beats UGw Tempo, Zoo.

Sometimes :D

Let the Dream Crushing begin, you know you want to get DC'd. Do it Morbid :)

Vengevine Aggro.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

I'm raping people on MWS with this version (the one I just recently posted) of the deck harder than I used to with the Survival version. The explosiveness is fucking crazy. Survival was slow, costing 1GGGGGGG in total. In here, I'm getting an assload of explosive turn 1 and turn 2 openers with single and double Vengevines.

I'm also having times where I open with a single Vengevine on turn 1-2, and rip an Intuition to lay down more Vengevines/Wonder midgame (turn 3-4) for the clincher.

I cut 1 Entomb for 1 Buried Alive, for a 3/1 split of Entomb/Buried Alive and it has been working beautifully. Wow dude, just wow. It's nutty.

Back to playing CBTop, so that I can continue to grief people with the best deck everz.

It's like a drug, I swear... like, I have all of my Legacy staples in one huge binder, when I go to grab a card, I always skim over the few pages with the Eternal Dragons, Humilities, Elspeths, and other stuff, and I sit there and think about it for about 30 seconds

Some day, some day.

[Tacosnape]

Other than Intuition Madness and Landstill?

Rogue deck time. Emrako Taco (Gamekeepr Emrakul) and a deck I've been collaborating on called Scumbag Blues, which involves playsets of Confidants and Tutelages and some silly shit.

[Jak]

Combo. I just can't attack with creatures anymore.

I'm also playing GW Maverick, with Vengevines MD. There are so many one-drops in the deck that they're easy to recur, and there is enough land that it fits perfectly right at the top of the curve without any problems. I don't even have crap like Wild Mongrel to try and exploit it because the deck is beefy enough. It's just nice to have a hasty dude that can't be countered for the control matchups.

I'm also working on a super secret combo deck. With Vengevines.

I'm going to get that card banned.

[median]

I just realized that my TES is pimped other than the LEDs, Infernal tutors, duals, and 2 Burning wishes, So I'm playing that.

I'd die laughing if Vengevine got banned a few months later.

[GGoober]

You know I hate Vengevine for what it's done to Survival, it made the archetype into a 4-year old nibbling on lollipops. But I think I have a revelation, I dislike the DCI more than Vengevine, so I'm casting old hatreds, and ordering a playset of Vengevines, just so I will break them and prove that the problem was not Survival, but Vengevines.

I still don't think Vengevines can be dealt with effectively outside of dedicated hate, it is a very unique creature with a unique attack mode that is unconventional from what Legacy has seen. On paper, how tough can a 4/3 haster at 2GG be? The funny thing? Even when you hardcast that crap, it still presents a problem over turns.

[Fuzzy]

I always play with borrowed decks, so by far I can finish playing any deck.

I'm working on New Age Lands (RG), but in the end I'm fine playing Blue Lands, still don't know yet.

And maybe Zoo, because Wizards likes creatures that only attack and block.

[GGoober]

Lol Jak, Survival and Lackey are the only reasons I would tap creatures sideways. Then again, I tap my Welder more than I tap my Goyfs sideways..

Soldier tokens and Factories are the only things that I enjoy tapping sideways because they are not creature cards :P

Taco, any chance you making a deck called Taco Bells? Xmas season is coming soon you know?

[thecrav]

I was never a survival player ($$$) but Vengevine madness is still extremely powerful. I've played quite a few games against Vengvival decks that never resolved survival but still managed to explode vengevines so it wouldn't surprise me at all if VV/Madness decks remained popular.

[Hanni]

The DCI banned the wrong card, pure and simple. Survival existed since the beginning of the format and was never a problem. Vengevine is incredibly broken, and people will realize this until it gets banned in March.

For now, I'm going to be playing both U/G/b Vengevine and G/B/r Vengevine, while it lasts.

Bad deck is bad.

Why do you wanna play CBTop. Play not blue. :D
