Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

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

Named after the 12 lands for mana ramp (Cloudpost/Glimmerpost/Vesuva)

Probably my favorite legacy deck to play, but unfortunately one of the most expensive legacy decks on the market.

How to Play

This is a mana ramp deck, so you need to ensure that you keep hitting land drops, with Crop Rotation as one of your best cards. Responding to a Wasteland with Crop Rotation is just marvelous.

The trick of the deck is to survive until you can hardcast an Eldrazi. Show&Tell an Eldrazi is only your secondary option. You mostly use Show&Tell to get an early Primeval Titan on the table for additional mana ramp.

Your sideboard will depend heavily on the meta you're playing, and many decks replace Pithing Needle with Moment's Peace in mainboard. In my meta there are plenty of Stoneblade/Jund, which means I need to stop Wasteland.

I recommend to read up on this deck here:

In most matches you will name Wasteland with Pithing Needle, with a few exception
- Merfolk / Death&Taxes, start naming aether vial, to recuce the aggro
- SneakShow, start naming Sneak Attack.

Worst match-Up
- Pox, this is just brutal and your chances to win this game is very slim.
- OmniShow is tough as you can't afford to use Show&Tell. You will probably loose game 1, but can recover with Karakas + Venser in game 2/3
- SneakShow is tough, as you can't afford to use Show&Tell. Name Sneak Attack first with Pithing Needle and then Griselbrand. Karakas will then help you to stall the big bad monsters.
- DragonsStompy can be a hard deck due to Blood Moon, and a relatively high aggro. Oblivion Stone is your best alternative here.

Deck discussion for 12 - Post

Hi there!

I got this deck:
http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/legacy-gruul-control-3/

And I've only played twice against titanpost.
What would be my main advantages against your decktype?
What should I switch when sideboarding against you?
And how would you sideboard against my design?

If I were to run 2 ghostquarters instead of 2 bojuka bog after sb, how do you think my design would stand?
