That makes the deck alot less focused, you have different ideas hear but not a main one.

Look at the bright side, never to late to start playing the LEGACY of Magic, unfortunately this deck is pricey. In the long run, though, Legacy is cheaper to play than Standard.

Why arent you using Sinkhole or Smallpox? Also, bumping up your count of Trinisphere would be a good idea since you are using it as a main source of the deck. I would play either 3-4 depending on what you rely on most, just having 2 really isnt going to help you get it.

I havent tested a Bazaar of Baghdad, but I do not see what it would do besides help. Really all it would do is dump more lands into the graveyard and make it easier to find the ones I need more often. I could see someone playing 1 of em, problem is Tolaria West already searches for lands. Its worth a shot though! Thanks!

It wouldnt really help at all mainboard, but in sideboard it could help out alot incase they have a method to neutralize my Life from the Loam. I have had Extirpate come down on Life from the Loam and still win, but its very hard because you have to already be VERY setup.

True, but you see when it comes to Legacy everything has to be efficient and exactly perfectly tended to. I have ways of dealing with those big guys like Innocent Blood and Smallpox. In the long run it just isnt necessary, and in Legacy the only Legends youll probably see are reanimated ones... and those die easy to the cards listed because its usually their only creature. It just doesnt make sense when I may have to take a Mulligan because I only was able to draw a Karakas ya know? My 42 Land Deck plays Karakas though.

Fastbond is banned in all Formats except in Vintage where it is Restricted. Just letting you know. Exploration is another good option that is not Banned or Restricted.

lol Thanks! It can be fun to play, against, not so much. Your turns are usually very long and the other player is very limited because of how hard you make it for them with this deck. This deck though is very difficult to play, one of the hardest decks I have ever played and I have been playing since 2002 and competitively since 2003... its not for everyone though. It takes ALOT of time and ALOT of playtesting to make it work, to be honest, if you check my article in the forums on Grand-Prix Columbus I even state that I did go 5-3... but I wouldnt have lost atleast 1 of those games if I hadnt made stupid choices and didnt realize plays I could have made.

I will do my best! :)

Alright, this decks KEY CARDS are Life from the Loam and Manabonds, Exploration isnt as good as Manabonds but it works very well either way. The idea is to use Manabond to dump as many lands into play as you can, which on turn 1 ends up being alot usually! With Life from the Loam you can keep adding more lands to the graveyard every turn and picking them up with Life from the Loam. You use the Cycling Ability on Tranquil Thicket to do this more than once per turn by skipping the draw, and replacing it with Life from the Loams Dredge ability. You keep replaying Life from the Loam and Dredging it to build up lands. At the end of each turn you keep dumping your hand into the graveyard, letting you next turn continue to do the same.

The main lands include Mishra's Factory (Win Condition), Barbarian Ring (Win Condition and Control), Maze of Ith (Creature Control), Glacial Chasms (Creature Control, The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale (Creature Control), Rishadan Port (Land Lock), Wasteland and Ghost Quarter (Land Destruction) and Academy Ruins (Recurring Mindslaver and Engineered Explosives). All these Lands can be played, used, and if they have to be destroyed like Barbarian Ring and Wasteland to use them you can simply bring them back again with Life from the Loam! Over and over and over..... and over again. The Mox Diamond helps you speed up your play and try to cast early Intuition. Intuition lets you grab 3 Manabond and forces them to put one in your hand or you can use it to grab a single Life from the Loam and 2 lands, either way you will get your Life from the Loam back next turn and your lands because of Life from the Loam. The best kill condition is Mindslaver, with this deck you can EASILY play it, activate it, and put it back on top of your deck every turn because of the overwhelming amount of mana.

I hope this helps, thanks for asking!

Ive already got the long game planned out, I can use Academy Ruins to keep putting Engineered Explosives or Mindslaver on top the deck to keep myself from running out of cards and keeping their board locked or completely locking them out of their turn for the rest of the game. Thanks for the comment!

Thats this decks best matchup, the key to this deck is using Manabonds or Exploration, either one will do, paired with the card that makes this deck work... Life from the Loam. What you do is bring it back using Dredge each turn, replay it, pick up your lands, then cycle a Tranquil Thicket as many times as you can! You replace the draw off the Cycling ability of Tranquil Thicket with Dredge and bring back Life from the Loam and use Manabond to dump your lands into play at the end of the turn.

This deck is actually one of the fastest decks out there, it can place 3 or more lands into play on turn 1 consistantly, but the best part is it does that continuously every turn for the whole game. Its a prison deck in sorts, even somewhat of a control deck. You use Rishadan Port, Wasteland, and Ghost Quarters to deal with lands. Creatures are dealt with using Maze of Ith, The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale, and Glacial Chasm. Glacial Chasm, Wasteland, and Ghostquarters can be replayed every turn usign Life from the Loam constantly and reused, being able to simply not pay for Glacial Chasms upkeep cost and return it to play in the same turn. In a sense, its probably the best deck against Aggro you can afford while being very good against Control because its very hard to deal with lands unless your using mass removal to destroy them, which still they can continuously come back. To win, you dont even need to reduce their life! Extremely early you can Mindslaver lock them using Academy Ruins, which in this deck happens very quickly.

No I havent, I could easily play Urborg just because! Its not like it has any downside, it doesnt come into play tap and it still adds black with no penalty. I guess it makes sense to just throw it into decks simply because it does effectively the same as a Swamp I guess it comes down to do I really need it? Probably not, but still I guess it could stop someone from using a First Strike creature on me and it does stop one more way someone could try and sneak something through. Ill add it!

I dont need Duress and Thoughtseize. I know how to play Legacy and I know what to name and choose wisely, especially because all I have to do is use Cabal Therapy's Flashback ability. I am good enough at Legacy to know what to name, its just not necessary for me to do when I already KNOW what to name. Get rid of the one of Extirpate? Fat chance, its a card that you only need one of main board to surprise the opponnet just like Profane Command is. If they can recover and you have spent most of your ammunition, against another creature deck MY creatures dont stand a chance. All Bloodgast can do is sit back and block and return to play over and over again. Using Profane Command I can lower their health while sneaking through with fear using Bloodghast or Mishra's Factory. Innocent Blood? If I remove Innocent Blood how do I deal with big creatures that are reanimated? I could use Smallpox to remove them, but what if I can not afford to lose my own things but need to remove theirs? I dont need the Ill-Gotten Gains because I really dont need to tutor up old cards or anything, its a very consistant deck as is. Thanks for the looking though.
