I haven't tried the HD500X, but I've heard only lovely things about them, and I know people get absolutely stellar tones from them. Also, while I love Magic, I have to say I'd rather have the recording gear!

I think I remember you posting a few like that, I like the style.

And it has the potential for keeping them always in a bad spot, but it's worse if they don't get the extra draw.

Dryad Militant is a playset in his deck... He finally got tired of me playing graveyard shenanigans, and took the offensive.

I didn't know your first Legacy deck was Dreadstalker! I have a soft spot for Reanimator and CounterTop because they were my first actual Legacy decks, so I can entirely understand.

It's pretty epic in the right setting!

I've had a Grixis list with Delver and Young Pyromancer for a while, and I absolutely love it, I just made this because it's a more enjoyable style to me. Also, I'm super happy about one winning the open!

It's soooo fun, and I'm back in the swing of it again, so likewise it feels smooth. It really affected how I play MtG, I wouldn't be nearly the player, or builder, I am if it wasn't for Doomsday.

The idea going into this one was balancing my preferred counter suite with my favorite disruption package. The variation was natural, and despite as crazy as it looks, it's actually quite unified by these two ideas. I'm glad you think what you do about it, this is one of three projects I'm doing for MtG lately, and I can't deny that it feels good knowing /you/ think it'd be painful to go against!

I do... I keep meaning to download woogerworks(or whatever it was), or something! I kind of gave up on MWS, because I can't get somebody to complete a game with most of the decks I like to play T_T

It was beautiful in its cruelty. It was like having a mini-Progenitus :D

I can't remember who showed that to me, but I do remember the situation being somebody responding to a reaction gif with another reaction gif. I laughed harder at that than I have the rest of this year.

I can dig it. Doomsday only really had a brief period of time where it was at the point that it could be considered combo-control. This seems designed with that in mind, and I love it.

Yeaaaah, Nactl is pretty bad to not kill. I support Engineered Explosives.

I remember seeing it, but it was nowhere near this nice. I had been looking into them, but they never actually felt like DDFT, and so I just went with Young Storm.

It's a common trait of decks like this, and I love it. It's part of what draws me to them!

It is, but compared to some of the stuff we've done it's a great deal less soul-crushing. I have a friend who had actually tacked on the expense of Legacy with their mortgage.

Hyper-aggro, bordering on combo depending on the pilot. The deck wins just as well as aggro, or through the route described.

Dread Return sacs three Narcomoebas, triggering Bridge from Below, which makes potentially 13 2/2s. Flame-Kin Zealot makes everything I have get +1/+1 the turn it enters, and also gives them Haste. My 2/2 zombie squad just turned into an army of hasted 3/3s.

Dredge works like this when abridged to the most basic form; Turn deck upside down, Narcomoebas go to the battlefield, I sacrifice them to flashback Dread Return on Flame-Kin Zealot, I swing with thirteen 3/3s.

I absolutely love Grim-Grin and Thraxi EDH decks, they're soooo vicious(even as budget decks!), and the commander damage gets really dangerous really quickly.

Love what you're doing, and if my friends ever say that EDH is prohibitively expensive, I now have something to prove to them how much fun can be had without breaking the bank.

It's... You've... You essentially made DDfT in Modern @_@

I'm seriously too blown away by this to think about it properly right now. The only thing I can think is that I'd rather have access to Pyroclasm, even though it does less damage, than Firespout. The trade off of mana and damage just seems to make a bit more sense to me.
I seriously love this Jack, it's brilliant as always!

Same.

Agreed. Trickbind has long outlived itself. It was at its height the same time that CounterTop was.

I'm really digging the suggestions for this one. I can't agree more. The disruption package is lackluster in this one as is, but that? That is beautiful.

Don't know about counterspell though, I am really digging the counter suite. But Hymn is definitely being nixed. If I were to remove Counterspell, I'd finish off my Dazes, and then add the third Spell Pierce, you're right.

Ghastly Demise is actually still treating me pretty good, except against a few decks, but they were already decks it was terrible against anyway. A list a friend sent me is concerning me enough that I'm dropping it though... His Maverick got cold and heartless to the point that the only graveyard shenanigan deck I'll trust against it is Landstill >~<


Also, because of the way this one is laid out, I'm more in line with playing TNN in this than anything. It works phenomenally well here, more so than the Esper decks.

I'm glad you think so, and it really is. I've been toying with the idea of playing two, and going up to the full playset of Standstill for a while, but I also see enough Dirty Maverick that I can't honestly decide if I want to.

There's another deck I'm working on that I think you'd enjoy more than this, I'll post it when I finally get it situated properly. This one is me being a bit of a fogy, and disregarding a super beatstick for utility.

Zealous Persecution... That's freaking perfect!

Fleshbag, and co. aren't where this stops. I'm going to be putting at least two copies of Zealous Persecution(how I forgot that card is beyond me) in the SB for now, and I have a landbase that can support Edict effects quite nicely if need be.

TNN and I are honestly on shaky terms. Then again, my main deck right now is Doomsday :P

Obliterator is better in most cases, but I don't like my big beatstick getting Dismembered, and I have at least five friends who are running it.

Agreed. This one doesn't feel as though it needs quite the disruption package as the other one. TNN in this was tested last night, and I managed to stick a Batterskull on it in one game against a stoneblade deck... That was monstrous.

I've been a fan of Bloodghast in Dredge since I played it in Vintage. And the only land I'd have considered playing instead of Undiscovered Paradise is Gemstone Mine, which is honestly a pointless distinction in Dredge pretty much. Nether Shadow is good, but I prefer the potential offered by Bloodghast.

Gravecrawler is a test slot. Quite disappointed really.

Dredge is amusingly the one place I don't stick to the old styles. I've had a much better win record with the deck since switching to Bloodghasts to this list honestly, barring the sideboard being weird right now, and I say you should try it. I also feel that doing so would be like when I tried the cantrip heavy version of Doomsday though, it works for one, but feels awkward to the other.

Darkblast is because I couldn't think of anything else really. Gravecrawler is becoming Ichorid 3, and Darkblast is being replaced by Winds of Change. Card is exactly as hilarious as it looks.

I don't know why, but I read that as being said the same way George Takei says oh my.
