Very early stages of testing, but this is doing well for me right now, in case you guys want to see it:
16 Forest
1 Dryad Arbor
4 Jungle Lion
4 Skarrgan Pit-Skulk
4 Silhana Ledgewalker
1 Scryb Ranger
4 Nettle Sentinel
4 Kavu Predator
4 Berserk
4 Seal of Strength
4 Rancor
4 Green Sun's Zenith
4 Invigorate
2 Might of Old Krosa
GSZ is proving it's worth. Again, early stages of testing.

If you guys could splash one color, what would it be? Or would you stick to mono-g?

What are you splashing for though?
Black gives discard and makes it some sort of Eva Green deck
White opens up to Pridemage, Teeg and some anti-combo cards.
Blue has got its own thread here http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/s...Berserk-Stompy and gives you Invisible Stalker and counterspells.
Red gives you burn and fling but just ends up being a Zoo deck.
Well, I have the opportunity to get just a single set of dual lands, so I just wanted to know what the best splash would be.
"If you're playing Storm in Legacy, you need to believe that what your deck does is better than what their deck does."
Looking at your sig Taiga's would allow you to mix your two Legacy decks and Bayou's would work in your EDH ones. Alternativly what Legacy deck would you want to build? Get the lands for that.
Okay, I am going to try and not sound rude here but what the hell has happened the days of umbowta and I throwing around lists? The best creature in the deck is by far is Ledgewalker and the reason is Hexproof. Last I left the list it was Slippery Bogle at a very close 2nd. The point here is that they cant do anything besides counter our creatures initially OR counter berserk. I agree that Kavu and Pit-Skulk are our best non-hex creatures but untargetability makes the deck. Here is my most recent list that I am considering now that MM is burning in hell:
// Deck file for Magic Workstation (http://www.magicworkstation.com)
// Lands
13 [B] Forest (1)
1 [TSB] Pendelhaven
3 [FUT] Horizon Canopy
1 [FUT] Dryad Arbor
// Creatures
4 [EVE] Slippery Bogle
4 [GP] Skarrgan Pit-Skulk
4 [PLC] Kavu Predator
4 [GP] Silhana Ledgewalker
4 [M12] Gladecover Scout
1 [OD] Druid Lyrist
// Spells
4 [MM] Invigorate
4 [TSP] Might of Old Krosa
4 [B] Berserk
2 [NE] Seal of Strength
4 [UL] Rancor
3 [MBS] Green Sun's Zenith
// Sideboard
SB: 4 [SHM] Vexing Shusher
SB: 4 [DK] Tormod's Crypt
SB: 3 [MM] Rushwood Legate
SB: 2 [MI] Seeds of Innocence
SB: 2 [NE] Reverent Silence
I have to re-buy my berserks before I can start testing at tournaments but this is what I plan on playing. Might end up playing Phyrexian Metamorphs instead of crypts but we will see. Gotta beat Iona. Last time she was an issue we had to splash white for swords :/ Not something I want to have to do again...

Why pick Druid Lyrist over Viridian Zealot? Are you not worried by Artefacts?
Go get a set of GW duals.
GW offers you the following:
teeg, STP, q. pridemage, mindcensor, PTE, mother of runes, and a whole lot more.
Unlike with red, burn spells cannot kill fat creatures such as 4/5 goyf, 4/4 kotr etc...
^_^
Btw, I like the new vines of vastwood from innistrad. We've done some play testing with it vs. burn, zoo and slivers and it's promising. :) Now im mumbling to myself - what to cut off for this?

Exactly, the only artifacts I would be worried about are chalice/3sphere type cards and they are not very popular right now. If they happen to show up, I do have seeds in the board. GSZ for one is then activating for 1 (total 3) is better than total 5.

Affinity IS a deck you know.
"If you're playing Storm in Legacy, you need to believe that what your deck does is better than what their deck does."
Barely, but I am pretty confidant I can either race them or I am pretty sure seeds will kill them. They have no removal. It is not a deck I think we lose to in the first place.

IDK mang, they have gotten quite a lot of tools in the past year. I've been sticking with Seal so far for my SB.
"If you're playing Storm in Legacy, you need to believe that what your deck does is better than what their deck does."
I prefer the red splash for Assault Strobe and Pyroblast/REB and A. Grudge sideboard.
If you fail to explain the reason behind your choice, technically, it's the wrong choice.
Zerk Thread -- Really, fun deck! ^^
Anyone tried using the new vines of vastwood?
:) I'll buy myself tomorrow a set of those and will try them in my playtests.

I haven't tested this. If you could post your results that would be fabulous!! :))
"If you're playing Storm in Legacy, you need to believe that what your deck does is better than what their deck does."
Any progress here? How about adding a singleton Talara's Battalion as a Zenith target? It is still good if drawn aswell, I think.
That seems like a nice Tech. I hope I had more free time to test Berserk!!!
Please, post any testing results for me, since I'll just have to trust you guys on how it's working out :-)
Nihilobstat on Cockatrice. Let's play some Magic!!!
Nice to see you're still alive and playing MtG, in A^2 I presume. You remember correctly that Silhana was...the cat's pajamas, but not just because of hexproof--she can only be blocked by flyers or dudes w/reach. The point is, evasion too is key. That said, you're going overboard with the hexproof dudes. Just go with Silhanas and a couple Gladecover Scouts. GSZ can get 'em for you if you need 'em against decks with heavy targeted removal. In the meantime, taking out too many 2/x one drops worsens your control matchup.
Too bad on having to rebuy Berserks. I finally found the last Beta Berserk I needed (okay, wanted) for the deck.I sent the Unlimited version I had to a friend in California as part of his birthday present...he never noticed it in the box and threw it away with the rest of the packaging. There was a good 15 seconds of stunned silence when I called him. One less zerk in the world
When other people do not assert themselves, they may still have something to be proud of, something that they believe is unrivalled, but it is just that they have not got the same vulgarity of throwing their weight about and imposing themselves and their beliefs on other people. - Dunduzu Kalui Chisiza
If you think a topic is dumb, don't add to it. Pretty simple. - Bardo
Zenith is doing incredibly well. I highly recommend you try it out. Also, I much prefer Scryb Ranger as a techy Zenith target to Battalion. It helps a lot against Merfolk, NO RUG, ect.
