My first real attempt at legacy. Any ideas are welcome and the side board can use some work. Also this deck is surprisingly budgety for legacy an it would be nice to keep it but of course if there are cards that can boost the effectiveness of this deck then I can always think about it and invest

I would cut some {Grim Lavamancer}, since you aren't running fetches, which help feed lavaman. You could run more burn like {Chain Lightning} to replace him.

Hmmm that's true. Should I keep 2 lavas or should I drop him all together

I think you could leave 1 or 2 in, since then it's unlikely to get multiples.

Drop {Figure of Destiny}. It's far too slow for legacy.

Agreed. Pick up as many 1 drop spells as possible, and stuff like {ensaring bridge} and {shattering spree} for sideboard.

I dropped the one off lavamancer and the figures and added one more chain and a set of lava spikes.

Personally i think youd do better off with 1 less price of progress and 1 more searing blaze, but im not expert

I think price might be a bit better just because I'm not always hitting land drops and if the match goes long enough price could deal enough and it's instant where as that 3 damage is only during my turn.

Also question I'm adding some fetches here to cycle through the lands to make my draws bettee. Would it be worth t to splash some black. Maybe like a  {Bump in the Night} but better and something I can't think of

And attached to the fetch lands should I bring back lavamancer?

I was just about to suggest you add a lavamancer

Idt itd be worth splashing for bump or something similar unless you find something too good to pass, i think staying mono R is best left mono R

I agree. So what do you think I could drop for lavas and how many lavas

Maybe 1 {fireblast}? Cuz dropping 2 would neuter you anyways, idk just an idea

Id say no more than 2 lavamancers though

-1 blast and -1 price for +2 lavas. How does that sound
