Bro had 350mil and is posting on MTGVault about it xD

Why bother? Cause it's funny as all hell that this ancient, at least in internet years, asinine wall of text appeared on this website of all places. Plus it's something to distract form the horrors of life.

Bloody hell, the shit I used to come up with in 2015 xDD

Anyone dig deep into this? Googling it, you can find thousands of results going back 3 or so years of this same copy paste message with the same phone number. But I cannot be arsed to trace the origin or really look into what's up.

I bet it's the secret societies to blame for that, kidnapping the admin, forcefeeding him marmite

Please. like 7 people use this website

OMG I fucking love this website

In the current metagame you'd need at least one more creature worth returning, some builds go much lower to the ground with [[Shambling Ghast]] & 4 trolls as the main win condition. Either that or a different metagame where essentially having 6 rats for the price of 3 is really really good.

Actually, maybe I am full of shit. For one, the dog is legendary, so going all in on it can backfire sometimes. For another, the rizzler is more or less purely a card advantage beater, with odd exceptions for blocking Urza's Saga constructs etc. Perhaps 3 & 3 or some 3/4 split is correct. This is honestly something you'd have to test extensively.

Yeah, with testing, the extra green source of 1x Witherbloom Campus is worth it, plus you really don't want to miss land drops in most matchups, not even once.

Honestly I would go 4x on The Rizzler, perhaps even cutting a Beanstalk given the current metagame. That's what BUG Beans has been doing for a few months now (fewer beans not more rizz). Though that deck is much slower, but also does not have that dog in it, so I am not sure how it all works out.

Big fan of this pile though, one of the 3 exciting things I have seen in legacy this calendar year.

Much more so than the mana, (fetch lands, hello???), the lack of [[Force of will]] or just some interaction makes this dead in the water. You cannot hide behind a bridge in current legacy. Not against [[brazen borrower // petty theft]], Not against oops all spells, etc.

Love the idea tho, there may be something here.

Brilliant observation. I've gone back and forth on 20 vs 19. You must keep in mind that [[Golgari Rot Farm]] counts for 2 land drops, so it's a 22 land manabase if you squint at it hard enough, that and you have 22 ways of drawing extra cards. Nevertheless, the lists that went 5-0 did run 20 lands with [[Witherbloom campus]] as a 2x

Who is that player that failed to see lethal with [[Electrostatic Bolt]] and an opposing [[Wall of blood]] and proceeded to carry the bolt for years after in his wallet as that single misplay cost him his hall of fame induction? It slipped my mind, but whoever it is, don't show him this deck xDD.

"Haven't seen Kozilek's Command in action" I have never envied anyone as much you xDD

Big fan of the theme, I started playing in Zendikar so this shit brings me way back. But. [[Blood Tribute]] is an absolutely worthless card, it is worse than [[Darksteel Relic]] in this deck as the relic at least protects against [[Wrench mind]] and what not, [[Blood Tribute]] can only really be viable when it deals 10, and even then it is awful, but in an aggressive deck, by turn 6, assuming you even have 6 mana on turn 6 (which will happen less than 34.5% of the time), it is likely to deal less than 5 damage.

You are spot on with the 2-drop thing.

Playing this, often you find yourself in situations where you want to develop a [[Sneaky Snacker]] or a [[The Modern Age // Vector Glider]] while also wanting to hold up a [[counterspell]] or [[cast down]] on turn 2. **However**, with the taplands this means your turn 3 plays in much the same fashion, allowing you to assess the cost/benefit of holding up mana to getting board presence based on the matchup over two turns (e.g., the most likely play from the opponent T2 is [[Ichor wellspring]] so holding up [[spellstutter sprite]] makes no sense). All in all, the deck is really aching for a black [[lightning bolt]] or something along those lines, cantrips simply won't do, not unless the deck changes by like 15 cards and the curve shifts downwards, there isn't really a spot to weave them in, and their value goes down with the card selection provided by The Modern Age and Ploy.

As for the fangs, you can [[Brainstorm]] it away or discard it easily, it's the kind of card that is either next to useless or gamewinning, and with how tight the sideboard is already, it makes sense to play one given the prevelance of burn decks, as well as the tendency of boros, grixis, and mardu decks to run between 4 and 9 Bolts.

I really hope some version of this remains viable for the next few years as I genuinely have not had this much fun playing in almost a decade.

I always just come back to the Bank of America telling Hasbro to fucking chill with WotC's golden goose, despite the complexity creep and the sometimes hilarious verbosity of some cards (e.g., [[Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator]]), the game is alright when it is not going thermonuclear with the power-creep. Though I would argue all them crossover sets are very much all short term gain and their being incessantly pushed by WotC is precisely the sort of thing BoA told Hasbro to stop doing, but that is still more opinion than fact.

The bottom line is that formats can deal with cards like Teferi, and Voice of Victory, and that there will always be cards that warp formats, from [[Thragtusk]] to [[sowing mycospawn]], it's just that the latter came out alongside 19 other broken cards and the game quite literally by definition cannot sustain sets that add 3 years worth of high-powerlevel, format-defining playables for very long.

Nah man, Kozilek's Command is asinine beyond comprehension because it breaks the color pie, gives the 'color' that shits out 2 or more mana a turn a card that can for all intents and purposes answer literally everything and is always a viable card to cast with at least some use. It essentially paves over all the weaknesses of a particular strategy in one misbegotten package that is still insanely strong in situations where no weakness is showing, and irrespective of how far along the game and your mana has progressed.

[[Voice of victory]] is like 25th 2 mana white hatebear. [[grand abolisher]] has existed for what a decade now? The card does the exact thing white has been doing since the days of [[moat]] for pretty much same cost it's done it for. [[Voice of victory]] is easy to deal with, unimpactful versus an extremely wide swath of strategies, and downright useless in many lategames as well as in a lot of fast early games.

Edit: Jesus creeping shit, what the hell is that new abolisher art.

I've fuck all to say here except that I love your deck naming conventions and we all need to go back to:
