I've been wanting to use dark depths for a while and I thought to myself why not try and make it a legacy deck. What do you guys and gals think

{Thespian's Stage}

{Thespian's Stage}

I was thinking about it but after play testing I consistently get the 20/20 out turn one or two if the opponent doesn't  {Force of Will} to break the combo. If he does just keep going until the combo is meet.

I'm pretty sure T1 is impossible, T2 is feasible though. Still, it's a great card.

Turn 1
{dark depths}
{lotus petal}
Sac for a black
{dark ritual}
{vampire hexmage}
Sac to remove all the counters
Profit.

That's not very likely

[Kaworu, the Fifth Child]

But it's not impossible

It's in no way consistent, like he said

The amount of times I've play tested it I get turn one frequently. It's not every one but there are maybe combinations to get both hexmage and dark depths out turn one

I would at least recommend some sideboard space for discard like cabal therapy, so you aren't just dead to {Swords to Plowshares}.

However, you will be at 40 life after a swords to plowshares.... Giving you a bit of time to find another dark depths.

True. I think I will get cabal therapy or something to discard in the side board. Maybe  {Duress} because I'm not as worried about creatures as I am instants and sorc

[Prplprince]

Just go {Thoughtseize} and take whatever you want.

Also true. Ill drop a few in and together with the  {Burning Wish} could be helpful

[Prplprince]

Update with thoughtseize

[Aladormax]

You should have a little anti  {Stifle} tech in there. This is a known combo and people do play stifle for other reasons... Fetch kills and the like. Also I see {path to exile} is an insta win against you, as well as a lot of land destruction. I also agree with the {thespian's stage} option as it gives you 4 more combo pieces to play with. Since the deck is tuned to win turn 3 anyway it seems good to include. Also, beware of  {Rishadan Port} permanently tapping stages and things.

TL dr, the deck seems fragile in my meta, but also seems far more fun to play.
