Seriously .. Why do people think this is ridiculous and "pushing it" ? Black should be the best at removal . NOT white . Please compare Doom Blade and Go for the Throat to Path to Exile -- They're strictly inferior to the latter. Destroy VS Remove. 2 CC VS 1 CC. Restrictions VS NO restrictions.
Really ? What has black become ? What happened to the days when B was dominating like no tomorrow ? Yawgmoth's Will? Necropotence? Diabolic Edict ? Dark Ritual ? Demonic Tutor ? Even Damnation and Dark Confidant ?
Seriously, there has been a time before UB became popular that Black wasn't seen in standard AT ALL. I read through all Top 8 deck lists, the only "Black" card they played is Bojuka Bog in side board. Really ? What has the mightiest of colors become?
I welcome Wizards for doing this. This is just a mere good start though. Black needs a comeback.
Id still go with Emrakul, this guy can still be bounced , stp'd , Pte'd , warren weirded. Emrakul attacks it destroys most likely everything in the board at that time which would be turn 2-4 and cant be targeted by instant speed spells. Ask Vintage why they started using the leviathan over DSC.
Lol true that . But I was hypothesizing on a hand that is not even hard to pull off and goes on to win on Turn 1 (assuming u go first). Emrakul of course is still the auto include, but this guy might have a place in Sneaky Tell besides Woodfall Primus .....
Guys .. Nobody saw that it can swing for lethal Turn 1 or 2 with Sneak Attack in Legacy ? It beats Emrakul in that deck !!
Turn 1: Lotus Petal, Sac and add R.
Play Ancient Tomb. Tap for 2 Colorless.
Play Seething Song, add RRRRR .
Put down Sneak Attack for 3R.
Pay R, put down Blightsteel Colossus. Swing for game !
