I really like the card Bitter Ordeal I am putting together cards i think what make make a inserting deck idea. It is a ruff ruff deck idea, i am not sure of all the cards i want on the list but this is what i have so far. I am thinking about using Wrench Mind but not so sure. I do want to use for sure Hymn to Tourach.
Hi boot2thehead. I want to help with your deck but I really have no experience with this strategy. Here is a link to a thread about a Modern version of this deck. Maybe you could get some ideas there? The thread looks pretty active. Many Modern cards are good in Legacy too. Just take what you like about their decks and then add your sweet Legacy cards do make it better I wish I could help more. One suggestion I have is that you should fit in Duress because it lets you know when it is okay to combo off.
I'd look at the Eggs primer and basically go from there. I think it uses second sunrise and other cards to cycle a spellbomb for the win, but it seems like you could easily do something similar with Bitter Ordeal as the win condition card. It is a pretty tough deck to play because of the mental calculations you have to perform. I think they use stuff like Noxious Revival to return Sunrise and Faith's Reward and also use Ghost Quarter. (They use quarter to blow up their own lands, so they can be returned to play untapped). It is a slow deck but a skilled pilot can very slowly loop through their whole deck and win. Your win condition has the advantage that it isn't dead early in the game and adding black helps with discard. Usually I think they use cantrips for card selection instead.
I was thinking about using Ghost Quarter in the deck itself but was not sure how many lands i should play. I don't want to use a card what has double white in it's mana cost. I thought of using the Myr Retriever and Heartless Summoning combo but was not sure if it would do good in this deck idea or not. I want to use duress but was not sure if i should use it instead if Wrench Mind or not. I still have the issue with what do i put in the sideboard to make it a different way to win. The reason why i like Bitter Ordeal is because i don't need to get ride of the whole deck just enough to take out anything what would kill me or have them win the game. This is some changes i made I am on the fence on the sideboard if i should just all in on just this being the only way to win or go a different way to win. This is the deck updated.
So i change the deck now i guess into a storm deck but it is not a normal build well not what i know of. I feel the way i am doing it is a really cheap way. I mean money wise as in cheap. I am still having issues with what to put in the sideboard.
Should be self-explanatory, however, what happens is you sac the Golem for WUBRG, and use 2B for the Dance, having 2 floating to pay for buyback. Rinse and repeat for infinte ETB or LTB or hit-the-yard effects, perfect to gravestorm the whole store out.
