Has anyone ever used {Vampire Hexmage} + {Dark Depths}. If so how did it work out for you? Thinking of building around it.
For casual or legacy?
Legacy, possibly EDH with some tutors to pull it off.

Never have run it myself so I cannot say but if your flirting with that land, many people like using {thespian stage} with it for the quick turn and sac
Wouldn't the legendary rule hit and remove it before you could sac it if you copied it?

Never mind, keep forgetting the new legendary rule where you can keep one and sac the other instead of them both going to the grave yard.
Of course you could run the {dark depths} in an old school combo elf speed deck, having 2-3 {parallel lives} in play and an {Altar Of Dementia} out...
That is if it can be worked like that..
Hmm, can I put the token on stack the sac it to the altar instead of the legendary rule?

They are sacrificed as a state-based action, if I recall correctly. If you put the Parallel Lives triggers on the stack, then respond to each individual token entering the battlefield by sacrificing it, it will work.
As a backup I would use a {hex parasite}. I run this combo in 2EDH decks and works wonderfully
I have a friend that uses the Thespian stage combo in his Progenitus Lands deck in EDH.

They already did! Hahah. {Vampire Hexmage} has been called that since she debuted.

You can't sac a creature on the BF, and the legendary rule is a state based action. Sacing a creature requires the stack, so a player must have priority to sac. Therefor, you can't sac a creature before the legendary rule triggers.
One note on my comment: I'm aware that Sacing is either a cost or a consequence of a spell or ability that gets put on the stack, but I stand by my timing limitations.
Never mind. {Parallel Lives} is a replacement effect and can't be responded to.

That's exactly what I meant...
You said it could work. Since all the tokens enter the battlefield at the same time you can't respond to just one of them, and then the state based sac occurs.
So I can look at {Vampire Hexmage}, {Thespian's Stage}, {Hex Parasite} and I also found {Ferropede} (although a little slower) i think I wanna do a Junk EDH with land searches. Found quite a few cards that allow land searching and not just basic land search. Inputs always welcome.
So replace the {Altar Of Dementia} with a {Warstorm Surge} and the {parallel lives} bit would work a treat... Have a {grave pact} in play for more fun
Or just toss a {mirror gallery} down and ignore the legends rule...
Mirror gallery only works on the old legend rule :P lol, if the legend rule changes it can't work for the new one :P
Really? How so? It's still called the "legend rule" {U}{R} not?
Was just a joke.
Oh lol my bad
Np, there was no way you would be able to tell. But if my friend ever uses mirror gallery that's what in saying.
Nothing is worse with this combo than {grim discovery}
Also, dredge mechanics work nice if you've got a discovery in your hand
