Tezzeret isn't a planeswalker. He's a gangster god.

There's a difference. ;)

This looks like an affinity deck that doesn't use affinity. This better be fast cause i don't think this deck can grind until u see tezz.

This deck tends to win most often with {Vault Skirge} + {Cranial Plating}, or is that just in my experience?

Skirge sometimes.

The champs with cranial playing pretty much win game. I can sometimes get champ out turn one play cranial plating and equip turn two. Thats pretty much all she wrote.

My deck is supposed to be vintage. Just took out the {Tolarian Academy} so I could play it in the tourney. I'm used to vintage rules. Which I looked and Mox opals are not banned nor restricted. So yeah. I don't think I would run more than 2 though. Considering its legendary.

(lotus petal is restricted in vintage)

Thought about it, but it's too slow.

Turn 2 {Cranial plating} on turn one {Etched Champion}. Pretty nasty.

That's nasty giving the small percent chance of it happening. What do you have against turn 1 e.tutor. Into turn 2 serenity?  Then into stoneforge for jitte?

Dude, affinity is quick but it's hated out pretty easily. Just letting you know. I only give you crap because of the title. GL in the tourney.

Ps tetso thought his dredge was quick but without the nuts draw decks can win against anything.

I don't play this in legacy brah.  I had to take cards out so I could play in the Legacy cockatrice tourney.  lol funny guy.  Most of my turn 1's were taken out because they're banned in Legacy. :D

Post by: Kuberr on July 02, 2012, 02:45:25 AM
Thinking of adding two  {Death Stroke} replacing doom blades.

Also. Thinking of adding {Counterspell} to the sideboard for protection against board whipes.

Thoughts?

Post by: Thorn on July 02, 2012, 08:42:19 AM
It's your deck mate. But honestly I like {Dismember} or {Go for the Throat} better than {Death Stoke} because you have to wait for your opponent to tap.

How are they in this format? Isn't their better than UU counter? Or is that the best one?

I only ask because I remember someone saying most good legacy decks win t4 or less. I can't think of a board wipe that's less than 4 mana. {daze}? {force of will}?

FoW is great.

If you have 60$ to spend on each of then. Lol

Besides, you do not have enough blue cards to gaurantee the alternate FoW cost......which is what makes it do effective ;)

If you're going for speed, {Mana Leak} is more consistent in fast, multicolor decks, IMHO.  Don't use {Death Stroke}, though.  Sorcery speed is sub-optimal.

I thought of having some {Counterspell} but I wasn't sure {U}{U} was a good idea. But after playing a few games, I've noticed I'm never screwed for blue mana. I was thinking of just throwing this in the sideboard.  Death stroke was just a thought, but it is sub par, as you say, so I plan on just running that counter.

If only I could get a Mox jet.

{Dismember} and {Go for the Throat} were good suggestions too.  I don't think I like {1}{B}{B} for {Murder} though.

I have a play set of the go for the throats and 2 doomblades in my sideboard.

{murder} would not have been OP if it was just {B}{B} IMO.  I think that 3 CMC makes it worthless.  White gets artifact/enchantment removal and the best creature removal spells in the game WTF????

Post by: Kuberr on July 03, 2012, 07:22:42 PM
I'm honestly not really experiencing any problems with removal, just the board whipes kill me.

Ctrl, what are your oppinions about {Counterspell}?

Considering you only have 7 land and 2 other artifacts to make blue mana......{mana leak} may be your best option.  Especially since a board wipe generally will not be leaving your opponent with 3 mana open.

Okay. So after legacy play last night, I will keep the {Counterspell} in here. Works wayyyyy better than {Mana Leak}. I traded for two counters, and had to buy 2 FoW :(

End game mana leaks are almost useless in legacy as mana can be produced fairy easily.

The two blue isn't that hard to get with the Moxes.

We thought you'd be killing them before end game.  You know, since you're Faster Than Ours.  ;)

Like you said. There's always answers to answers to answers. I am trying to make it so I have that very last answer.

Such as. Kill my champs, vaultskirge with cranial plating. Board whipe? Tezzeret kills. They have some big dudes out, go for the throat. Board whipe with no tezzeret, bonfire me?! Counterspell stops that.

:) went up against a pro legacy player last night. Full set up of playsets of unlimited dual lands and jitte. Nasty nasty. Held him for quite some time. But he turned off a lot of my kill plans. Sideboarded Counterspell. Won.
