An idea I have been tossing around since I seen {Lotleth troll}.  It is like a cross between a Reanimator and Delver BUG.

Awe man, I like the scaab. I've posted a junk build that uses lotleth troll and liliana to fill in the graveyard and I also run 3 unearths. I think unearth is a solid card! I've also pondered the idea of running gravecrawler, he works good with lotleth. I haven't seen the blue zombie that you run before, he looks really good in this deck, I can also see a standard build similar to yours with the scab, troll, gravecrawler, and liliana...

I have been trying to incorporate {skaab Ruinator} in a good build somehow.  I will be play testing this when I get some time.

What's the {Gravecrawler} all about? I don't see the interaction.

Discard him with {Lotleth troll} and you can play him from the GY since the troll is a zombie as well.

I see how. So obvious, can't believe it was right in front of me. I've been playing RtR all week, the cards are all blurring together 😵

I am so testing this ... this weekend and that's final.

I agree this deck looks good, I picked up a set of  {Skaab Ruinator} to build around it. I'm not much of a legacy blue player but I'm shooting for a standard BUG list, then expand it to modern soon after I see how it really works. Thanks for the ideas man!

No have you? 

Side note: I met guypocolypse on Cockatrice and he helped play test the first spin.  He said he wanted to test it too.

I have been working on a casual variant that is less abusive and more fun......cuz counterspells, stifle, and wasteland = no fun in casual IMHO.

Post by: cltrn81 on November 06, 2012, 06:05:16 PM
Goto My Compter -> C-drive -> My Progams -> find the Cockatrice file to get to the Oracle application -> goto File and download all the sets like you did the first time

This list

I have not really made any updates to this Legacy list other than main boarding the {spell pierce} and sideboarding the {spell snare}.  If you mean the casual variant then I will create another list and post it in the casual section with the same name.  I will post an update here when I put that list up.  The casual list will just be more budget friendly and there will be no control strategy .... just zerg swarm.  Some things are like swapping {tarmogoyf} for {boneyard wurms} and some stuff like that.

Made this right around the time I took a break.  Going to add {Lilliana of the veil} and change this around a bit.  Suggestions?

I have a couple of those....they would fit nicely.  I ended up turning my attention in the Delver variant of this but I want to revisit this idea sometime.  I love {lotleth troll} and {skaab ruinator} even tho they are kind of junk rares.....they work well if you can pull an {unearth} and get a T3 ruinator
