Just theory crafting here going with the moon concept. Say Emmy is the moon, say it is an artifact, and lets say its a DFC. Would cracking clues be the flip catalyst. Thinking from a concept with werewolves transforming to the other side by casting spells. What if it was similar with the moon transforming, but with clues. Sack x clues to flip the moon etc. I think that would make sense as to needing to solve the Innastrad mystery. I really believe the moon would have like hexproof, indestructible, shroud, or some sort of cant be sacrificed effect. Anything that big and lore-centric should be a "super permanent", one that is literally a permanent fixture on the battlefield.
I just want Dack Fayden to show up, steal some stuff at the fair, maybe find out Rai and Dack are somehow connected, like relative or maybe trained together. Dack's a thief but he also has a strong artifact background as well, right?
I came up with a rug list, and I know this is generic, but I want opinions on sideboard. I have everything but snares..so I mean there a paycheck away..
When I first started looking at legacy(2 years ago maybe??) thoughtseize was 25 bucks. Because of modern its shot up to 50. Truthfully, I think modern masters will make all non duals cheaper.
@dwchang You made a lot of relevant points about the walker, and everything you said about devil is how I felt about him in rdw, I just assumed he would do work being able to absorb removal for the other guys
I have a couple of questions, Im considering a more burn zoo variant then a tool box build, But I haven't seen Vexing Devil talked about at all, I figured he would be a champ in zoo, replacing chain lightning even( I looked back a few pages and didn't see anything about him)
Another thing is; what about the new planeswalker domri rade? with a creature heavy zoo he seems amazing. his neg ability is removal for zoo players with goyf's and even wild n, or v devil so why not?
how does bloodghast works for you in a very controlish built with just six wincons? in my view cursed scroll plus nether spirit as entomb target would make more sense in a control built. why do you have two bghasts in the sb and when do you side them in? ussually i would expect gy hate in the second game and side them out. deathrite shaman on the other hand is very interesting - what are your experiences with him? i‘m toying around with my sb and could imagine adding him as well as bob in cetain mus (when you expect gy hate and need a better clock siding out gy package like lands does it after boarding)
To answer the questions about my choice on bloodghast:
In the old build i had, my win cons was 1 spirit, 1 bloodghast 2 pox, 3 rack, 4 factories. before i had urborgs i ran 3 marsh flats. Well, it worked better to -3 rack for 3 bloodghast, because with crucible, i could have unlimited recursion. Well; I guess it seemed to work well enough for me, being able to manipulate divining top, and get 3/4 bloodghast seemed to work super well. I guess with recently adding green i just decided to keep the bloodghast because I've recently been enjoying crucible.
As far as siding in more; I usually side those in against other super heavy control decks; as well as the deathrite shamans. it either disctracts from the added clock Shaman brings. Other times its to race burn in the grinding race; I usually can "troll" burn by forcing them to discard all the burn.
Deathrite is ridiculous. It adds tricks that usually can win you matches. Also, it adds double graveyard hate, And it shrinks a lot of pesky green creatures.
I can say that Necroplasm shines against FCE.
And again GSZ is not good against smallpox if you go for the usual Dryad Arbor route... still my favorite play.
