How to Play

I'm pretty new to the Legacy scene but I've just been in love with this deck for a while and been trying to understand it inside and out.

So here's what I got so far...

You keep hands with a threat (Delver, Mongoose, Goyf), a land and some support (Daze, stifle, Force, whatever). It's ok if you don't have a threat immediately but only if you have a way to control the game early with counter magic.

Once you establish a board presence then start being aggressive with Wasteland against your opponent's mana if you haven't been able to Stifle the Fetch effects. The biggest mistake with Wasteland is to Wasteland when you are behind. Waste when you're ahead to stay ahead. You only need 1 or 2 lands anyways.

When brainstorming it's almost always correct to throw back lands and only brainstorm when necessary. I see a lot of misplayed brainstorms on turn 1. Why do that unless you know without a doubt what your opponent is playing?? And its almost always incorrect to brainstorm at the end of your opponent's turn. And remember to save your fetchlands for the shuffle effect to partner with brainstorm.

Stifle hits so many things!!! When in doubt of a triggered ability, LOOK IT UP!
