Deck Description

+ 4x eldrazi mimic

Thoughts, contributions?

As a thought experiment, I wonder if we couldn't steal a few games with this one. The idea is to resolve a mimic, resolve a dreadnought, sac dreadnought to mimic on etb, and swing for the win. Alternatively, we can stifle the dreadnought trigger/eater of days tigger, or resolve a torpor orb.

A blue black version with a hand disruption package might be the way to go. In that case, thought seize would be good, and cabal therapy is also relevant (keeping in mind that we can sac a mimic on flashback if we have the stifle/torpor win in hand).

Facing FoW is of course hard, but we can battle with our own dazes and FoWs. A liliana downtick can be prevented with a timely stifle, if we're fortunate enough to be holding. And we can hopefully beat swords to plowshares with counter magic.

The big issues: 1.) Consistency. Not sure this deck can pull off its combo win fast enough and with protection on a regular basis. 2.) Abrupt Decay. This card kills torpor orb, dreadnought, and mimic. Maybe we should pack creature protection in the sideboard? 3.) Supreme Verdict (and Terminus). Not aware of a good trump card for this one. Give my creature indestructible until eot? Regenerate? Not worth it. Everything that miracles does is near-impossible to beat with this deck.

Conclusion: This deck loses to miracles and has a hard time against abrupt decay, played in every deck that can. So... it's unfit for the current legacy environment.

Solutions?

Or is it just too janky?

Deck discussion for Eldrazi Mimic in Legacy?

I think the deck works fine but I'd probably add the Renegade Doppleganger into the main board and take out Eater of Days. Also, I'd change Stifle into Glaring Spotlight, and remove Torper Orb for some more draw/search cards. You might also want to splash black in for Spoils of the Vault.
