Being able to play cards like Thoughtseize against show and tell and black green decks gives you the advantage of keeping their pieces out of their hand.
Also, dark confidant can draw you the gas to push through their decays and such. Stifling and trickbinding their cards definitely helps those matchups as well. I went 2-0 versus two different SnT decks in my last tournament, mostly because Thoughtseize and dark confidant
Playing around daze is a big reason that I play tomb, on top of a faster trinket mage. Another use is playing a top and activating it on the same turn.
I had thought about varolz, but I honestly don't think I need him. I have enough disruption, counter to allow the dreadnought to stick, and academy ruins does it's job well enough
Also, dark confidant actually can get in for a lot of damage because they're more concerned of a dreadnought hitting
The thing that helped so much versus dredge, in fact engineered explosives on 0 really shuts dredges main gameplan out the window, especially with an academy ruins in play!
Hey everyone, I recently went undefeated in a local legacy tournament playing my home brew of stiflenought, drawing some pieces of multiple lists that I saw. I beat show and tell, dredge, belcher, and BUG delver in fairly convincing fashion with this list. Tell me what you think! I love feedback and I will keep posting tournament results as I play!
Akuta, Born of Ash might actually be really strong in here, the only problem would be having to most likely make room for more Crucible of WOrlds on top of copies of Akuta. Might have to try it though

I've been running this deck for about a year now, and I'm surprised someone else had the same Idea as I did! But I personally run more creatures for added pressure
Pack Rat if left unchecked can easily win games on its' own. Pitching the bloodghasts and nether traitors just to have them come right back, on top of starting a large board presence is terrific
Nether Traitor is so good in this deck, because smallpox allows you to sequence it where you can discard him, then sacrifice a creature and pay the B to get the nether traitor into play. Not to mention a constant 1 damage can add up in this deck

are people really underestimating three 3/2 flying lifelink vigilance creatures that are coming in and then blocking???

I think Abrupt Decay and Pyroblast "justify" it, but what do I know.
