Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

A deck whose ultimate win condition is to use Leyline Of The Void with Larceny and Dauthi Embrace to empty the opponent's graveyard. Another focus is to sacrifice (more than once) the creatures with a high mana cost for Volrath's ability. Once both objectives are complete, use Twilight's Call to create an army, while giving the opponent nothing.

@Alleywayjack: I wanted to make sure that I could have a diverse range of cards that still worked with the overall strategy. The problem is that it's a tradeoff. If I have no copies then I have a far smaller chance of drawing vital cards, but each copy I put in the deck has to push something else out. I haven't tested the deck yet but I've been building it for quite a while.
@Hacheam: I'm certainly interested in EDH but if I can make the deck powerful enough, I really want to play Legacy.

dont take this the wrong way but legacy is an extremely fast and broken format. this deck, no matter how refined you get it, just isnt going to cut it. : /

Ya I agree with AlleywayJack I would make into an EDH that way you don't have to worry about pushing anything out and you get to add more cards.

You both have excellent points. Legacy is something that I would very much like to be a part of. Having said that, making an EDH deck out of this one would be heaps of fun and would allow me to put in a bunch of cards that I had to previously remove.

yeah for sure, im down with the edh idea.
you should do some research on legacy though. because once you play legacy magic you'll never look at other format the same again.
its just so crazy and overpowered and fun

Why one-ofs and why not put the swamps together?

I wanted to have a varied group of swamps because I love the artwork.
