Building My Legacy pt2

Image
By
So I've decided to go with the following land base. I know it really is not optimal, but it is the best thing I can do with my budget at the moment.



Arid Mesa
Ghost Quarter x3
Grove of the Burnwillows x4
Horizon Canopy
Plateau
Reflecting Pool
Sacred Foundry
Savannah
Stomping
Ground
Temple Garden
Tiaga
Wasteland
Windswept Heath
Wooded Foothills
Forest, Mountain, Plains 1 each.



Now it's time to reality check the other contents of the decks. First off, I can't field Goys, they are simply not in the budget this year, and probably not next year either, I'm just going to have to do with out them. Secondly, I don't own Sylvan Library, but I don have Sesei's Divining top, so I'm going to give that a try. Next, I only own one Jitte, but I am planning on getting a second next year, but in the interim, I'm going to have to try something else. SInce I have put a land destruction suite in my manabase, I am going to up my Knight of the Reliquary to 3 total. This should yield the following list.


Kird Ape 4
Qasali Pridemage 4
Wild Nacatl 4
Kavu Predator 4
Knight of the Reliquary 3

Sensei's Devining Top 2
Lightning Bolt 4
Swords to Plowshares 3
Lightning Helix 2
Punishing Fire 4
Umezawa's Jitte 1


This list, along with the slot I moved to land, gives me three open slots to deal with. I've been giving a lot of thought to Invigorate, and really want to make a space for it, but trading 3 creatures for 3 instants seems pore for a Zoo Deck. Instead, I'm going to reach for some fairly new Legacy Tech designed for the mirror match, and put in Kitchen Finks. These guys are so tech. Creature, life gain, semi-removal, and card advantage all rolled into one. Since I still want to run Invigorate, I'm only going to put in 3. This brings my 3 drop creature count dangerously high to 6. Lastly, I'm going to pull the Lightning Helix's, and one Punidhing Fire to replace them with 3 Invigorates. This yields the following completed deck.

Kavu Predator 4
Kird Ape 4
Kitchen Finks 3
Knight of the Reliquary 3
Qasali Pridemage 4
Wild Nacatl 4

Invigorate 3
Lightning Bolt 4
Sensei's Divining Top 2
Swords to Plowshares 3
Punishing Fire 3
Umezawa's Jitte 1

Arid Mesa
Horizon Canopy
Ghost Quarter x3
Grove of the Burnwillows x4
Plateau
Reflecting Pool
Sacred Foundry
Savannah
Stomping Ground
Temple Garden
Tiaga
Wasteland
Windswept Heath
Wooded Foothills
Forest, Mountain, Plains 1 each.
I think this gives me a good deck to field for the time being, and allows me room to grow into a better deck, as my budget allows.

and Now for Something Completely Different

Well, maybe not completely different. I often use this platform to talk about something I've heard related to Magic the Gathering . Today I'm going to talk about something I have heard more and more. Sometimes in life, media, and imagination somethings take on a life of their own, becoming more then sum of their parts, and reaching beyond the scope and measure of the seed thought which spawned them. Recently it has come to my attention that something as simple as a color, has done just that. We've come together today through the force and will of pink . For a year now this simple blending of red and white has brought people together from all across the globe, inspired and renewed friendships, shared hopes, dreams, and passions of individuals. It has in some small but measurable way, changed the world, and the people in it. I have thought that I was beyond the scope of this phenomenon, as beyond an impressive collection of scars, I really have nothing pink in my life. Let...

Grim Tidings #26: Flip-Flop

By
I think the majority of magic articles I write aren't very helpful. For the most part are a stream of self-congratulatory praise of how great my proven decks are. Sure, my cutting sarcasm and wit occasionally generate a chuckle (I still love the Chaos Orb piece) but for the most part, I they all smoosh together into a long wordy rant of why I think this-or-that card is so great and why you should play it too. It’s my own fault. I pretend that everyone who reads my ramblings knows who I am, and has the same preference in play style. I assume everyone plays Casual-Competitive Magic, that they all play 300 card 5-Color decks, highlander style, and they have access to all 10,000+ cards to randomly insert in Deck XYZ at any moment’s notice. Obviously this is untrue. The root of the problem may lie in my core deck: “First Reminder”. I gush on and on about this deck, partly to brag on my collection, and partly to show-off my self-proclaimed cleverness. The deck has gained notoriety (for w...
