How does this deck work?

MuggyWuggy · March 10, 2015, 12:53:56 PM

You should probable have more than 1 dark depths for a deck titled rise Marit lage

Design this deck in the way at its optimum, not your cards you have in possession.

Done.
Except for more depths. They don't tap for any mana, unless I can get Urborg, and they take up space for lands that have huge {Wasteland} targets on them. Also, I can get them pretty easily with maps and scrying

MuggyWuggy · March 10, 2015, 01:48:33 PM

But if your only depths gets killed what's your other wincon?

Maybe 2 instead?

Get {thespian's stage} and {Dark Depths} out. Have the stage become a copy of depths. The stage has already entered the battlefield, so it has no counters and is sacrificed for the 20/20 indestructible. Have {Lightning greaves} out to give it shroud against cards like {Path to exile} and haste, swing in for game.

Alternatively, I can play {Vampire Hexmage} and sac it to wipe Depths and get the token.

No other wincon, but I do have a playset of {Life from the loam}

2 Depths sounds doable. What
should I take out?

MuggyWuggy · March 10, 2015, 02:21:06 PM

Maybe a greaves

If you're using a loam engine to find your Depths, you need someway to answer GY hate. That being said, you need more reactive cards, you're an all-in combo deck that, assuming you naturally draw your combo, can't go off before turn 4. That's not great for legacy. Now, assuming you don't naturally draw combo, you're spending a lot of mana digging up combo pieces. Might want to take out tutors and greaves for more answers.

It's not that I'm dredging for the depths. Loam is more for just-in-case scenarios. Anyone who sides in GY hate against this is wasting their time.
That said, what do you have in mind?

Remember you still have to sac your original Dark Depths due to the legendary rule. Then sac your "copy"

{Abrupt Decay} Over {Disfigure}. Answers a lot of the same creatures as well as the gy hate people tend to run like {Rest in Peace}. Also kills {Pithing Needle} which basically tells your deck you can't do anything.
