MTG Salvation

where is this deck now? i was on a very long break from EDH but i am getting back in now. Ruric holds a soft spot for me because i played him in Legacy Nicfit. I detest control/combo decks. im starting with a basic 99 creatures and Primal Surge, but i know i will branch out. i tend to focus on a single deck for a format so this will be an all in ordeal.

I never buy packs. I also only play Vintage, Legacy and old school. my preferred LGS does not support Legacy or Vintage at all, but I have a lot of history with the shop I and often pick up random stuff when they have it. Another 25 minutes away is another shop I frequent when I'm hunting high end stuff. I can spend upwards of $1000+ dollars in a month. It really comes down to what I am after.

Coming back to Death and taxes after a break from the format. I built Nic Fit, but with some larger events on the horizon I feel like I should fall back on what I am more familiar with.



I kept it pretty plain. My main concern are Elves and Infect, but I don't want to skew into ruining my SB for already poor matchups. I plan on running this into EE and then EW.

Where was a standard event at my LGS today. I didnt even go to play cards but a good friend was there and (after I thrashed him for engaging in standard) we got some games in. I haven't been following DnT very closely since I am more into vintage now but i ran Phil's most recent list into UR Delver. Already a good matchup it went very well for me. SoWaP didnt connect but I can see where the pressure would have been crazy. going up to 2 cavers was a boon as well.

Thrun, the Last Trollwas my go to Voltron killer for roughly 2 years. The deck had a heavy prison subtheme but I could manage a turn 2 Thrun quite often. Big help came from Eldrazi Conscription and Riding the Dilu Horse. I am currently on Ghave Stax after a very long break from EDH. If i can get back into the swing of things I will be rebuilding Thrun.

i sadly gave up. i jammed it as mono green and as a BG blend. BG was obviously better but it ran similar to depths lists that i have been working on. abrupt decay is in fact sweet, as many people know. my main test partner plays miracles. i still have the deck built partially but i have been jamming depths (and vintage more if i am being totally honest). thanks for he help though, i appreciated it.

Legacy and Vintage are very popular if you look for the meta. Walk into a random LGS and you might be pressed to find these players, but if you tap into social media or know a well known local who plays then you might get into their circle. most of the people who say legacy/vintage are dying formats don't even play these formats and are just wallflowers.

i need to tow the line between staying G/Gb and just going into Junk Maverick. The desire is bleeding over into Depths, where I am running a trans-formative sideboard that turns the deck into a grindy rock style deck. Hell, I have been using Thrun int he side as well.

Man the push for black is strong. My early game is very weak. If I'm not chalicing early I am usually behind. If I make it into the midgame I can usually pull ahead. Gonna grab some abrupt decay and seizes and try them out.

we removed stupor from the list after a few months.

i have bayous in depths, as well as in my old school deck so if the notion strikes me i have them. im going to put a few more weeks into gathering the last pieces, this will prolly be my last legacy project and im loving depths right now so im not hurting on anything.

I do but having a turn zero response fatties being dumped into the graveyard helps. Reanimator seems to be on an upswing, at least in my area.

I am grateful for your experience and advice. I plan on keeping it mono G. It's a fun deck that encapsulates my preference for aggressive decks with taxing/prison elements (Death and Taxes in legacy and shops in Vintage are my go to decks). I brought the TKS's in regardless dropping tracker and stacks. I swapped bobtowns for factories and added a couple tree of tales to fuel metalcraft. I also brought chalice into the main as well. The brigade raise some eyebrows but the beatings are real. If it was my only legacy deck I would certainly add black for duress and decay at least. I did add faerie macabre to my board to combat some graveyard decks.

Putting thought into TKS and the black splash. it is like you read my mind. Smokestack has been underwhelming sadly but I sort of predicted that. Remobing stacks makes tracker a bit worse I can see the straight tks swap. Bobtowns become factories. I could try the llanowar wastes route with some duress. Thoughtsieze might hit to heavy on life when matched with wastes and tomb.I'm tweaking the build this weekend. More updates soon.

Looking at this deck (have been for a long time as a have a soft spot for mono green strategies). I love mono green. and while i know it is far from top tier I feel it can hang well enough if work is put into it.

just playing on cockatrice right now, but i am building pieces slowly for paper.
