Cowardice -Legacy

by geezer48 on 14 August 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Enchantments (4)


Sideboard (15 cards)


Instants (2)

Artifacts (2)


Enchantments (6)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Deck based on the enchantment Cowardice . Deck has a good deal of card draw and targeting effects to keep the board clear of your opponents creatures when Cowardice is in play. Initially I made the deck because I had never seen anyone play Cowardice and i somehow had 4 extra copies. Deck plays well in casual formats and can win a few games in Legacy tournaments. Once won a 12 man tournament in my local store around 2004. Hexproof shuts this deck down pretty hard.

How to Play

Deck is designed to get Cowardice in play by turn 4-5. You have a small affinity creature base to stall, and 8 dedicated card draw cards to get you Cowardice. Once Cowardice is in play bounce your opponents creatures with the Scales. Save one targeting effect to save your Myr Enforcer or Triskelion. Once Triskelion hits you can bounce 2 creatures a turn, using the third counter to bounce Triskelion to play again next turn. Slowly beat down your opponent with your creatures or finish him with Triskelion pings. The sideboard is dedicated to removing enchantments and Planeswalkers, and more defense against aggro strategy. Witchbane Orb should be there to make me untargetable, but I do not want to give away one of the best answers to this deck. Deck is fun to play, inexpensive , and has a strong element of surprise first time out. Anyone with improvement ideas please comment.

Deck discussion for Cowardice -Legacy

If you're going to run cowardice add jolting merfolk. It's ability combined with cowardice means you can get rid of 3 opposing cards and then bounce merfolk to reuse.

Excellent suggestion - Jolting Merfolk acts like another Triskelion in the deck. I will try to fit him in if/when I rebuild the deck. Thanks

Sorry about the disturbance.

I'm trying to establish a new trend in deckbuilding, and I'm inviting everyone I've come across to participate.

I hereby invite you to participate in a brand new trend in deckdesigning that might change the future of how to design decks.

Shortly told, there are two ways that new decktypes are made, the first is by designing something new, the second is by taking the best parts of two older decks, mix it together and you got a new decktype!!!

What I suggest is a turbo-version of mixing two different decktypes into a new one.

You simply split up existing designs into deckhalves (Called halfdecks) that are designed so that they keep as much of the origanal themes of a deck intact, and so that the half can be thrown together with almost any other halfdeck deigned in the future.

Splitting a deck up in two times 30 cards is not so easy as it sounds, so initially this trend will start out slowly, and if enough people adapt the idea it will probably explode into radical new decktypes made from decks designed with halfdecking in mind.

To get a better understanding of the concept you might need to take a look at the first 3 deckhalves I've made as examples. (Bear in mind that they were designed very roughly from memory)

I will improve these designs and add other deckhalves as fast as possible to start up the trend.

YOU, and everyone else that recieve this "spam" are welcome to start up your own version of this project, as it is intended to become everyones, and only by letting several minds work on it independently will it take on a better shape and spread out as a new deckbuilding tool.

Contact me at any time, with any questions you may have.

I only have one wish on how this new trend can be spread. If everyone involved tag their decks as halfdecks then the future halfdeck community may simply write halfdeck in the decksearching function to find what they are looking for!
