Dropped the Tropical Island because I thought that having two Tundras are too vunorable agains land diseruption. In most matches I would rather hurt the opponent than gain life myself, but that could be a bad judgement for some plays. I think that I maybe will try to replace a Tundra with a Tropical Iceland.
The Snapcaster was left out because it removes a card from the graveyard and could mean that the Big fish is delayed one round, but that could be a fair price to pay to get my choice of spells to play one more time and the possibility to dig more for the Fish. Playing the Thought Scours again will also add two cards it the graveyard. This deck needs 4 Though Scores, they are part of the main strategy and replaces the probes in the Grixis Delver. One or both paths will likely have to go and be replaced with something that targets more that creatures. Thoughtsize is the preferd discard spell here since it don't need the probes to work good and can target anything.
But what do you think of the strategy of replacing red with white it this deck? Good or bad for the deck? It looses a bit of tempo, but can remove threats more efficient. I think this deck should have a fair chance against most other decks in the current meta with the correct sideboarding.
Sideboarding tips against different decks are also velcome. There will be a lot of situations that I don't have the best sideboarding choices ready. I think that it almost as difficult as playing the deck when I don't have much experience with legacy yet.
I have played Legacy for some months and still try to find MY deck to play. The last deck I tried was Grixis delver with 2 Gurmag Angler's and 4 Young Pyromancer's. But I feel that it don't work well in the meta I play, at least with my playing skills. But I loved playing the Zombie Fish and was exited when I found a decklist where the YP's was removed and two more big fishes was added. This deck will then only play red to have 4 Lightning bolt's. But I would prefer to splash white in stead of red for better removal options with swords to plowshares and path to exile and better sideboard options. This is the decklist I came up with:
This deck is fun to play and will be soon be tested in the next turnament. But I need your help with the spell choice and sideboard. The flexible cards here as I see it are the 2 path to exile in the main deck. I have not decided if they should be replaced with 2 Thoughtseize. I would also like better removal for things like Chalice of the Void, Trinisphere and Æther Vial, but that could be as simple as Disenchant. I am also wondering if 4 Spell Pierce is to many and if I should play Snapcaster Mage, but the mage will exile the cards and not give more cards in the graveyard to delve on.
All inputs are appreciated!
