[Brainstorming] Legacy Metalcraft

Disclaimer: this deck is not going to win any tournament any time soon. But hey, at least you get to play monsters that make Tarmogoyf look puny. ;)

[Brainstorming] Meandeck MUD with Scars of Mirrodin

Now if you're a mana and bombs person, this deck is perfect for you! The release of Scars of Mirrodin brought artifact bombs with it in the form of Wurmcoil Engine, Kuldotha Forgemaster, Myr Battlesphere, and Steel Hellkite. These seemed to have proved their worth when Michael Bomholt made 2nd place at SCG Indianapolis with Meandeck MUD.

Wait no more, here's the decklist:

[Brainstorming] Scars of Mirrodin (SOM) in Legacy – Affinity 2.0

The release of Scars of Mirrodin (SOM) excites every Affinity player by introducing new robots and shiny trinkets to the Legacy scene. However, the recent Star City Games Legacy Open tournament at Nashville has shown us that building a tier 1 Affinity is perhaps a distant dream. (Note that Survival posted 4 decks in the top 8 and 5 in the top 16!) Let's first take a brief look at what SOM brought to Legacy Affinity.

[Brainstorming] Scars of Mirrodin in Legacy – A Fundamental Shift in Stax

First there was Nevinyral's Disk, giving decks everywhere a chance to reset the board. Then came Powder Keg, a cheaper but more restrictive way to remove irritating artifacts and creatures in mono blue decks. With Mirrodin came Engineered Explosives, giving Pernicious Deed to multicolour decks lacking black green. Scars of Mirrodin brought us the new and improved Ratchet Bomb which now removes all threats from Aether Vial and Counterbalance to Tarmogoyf and Jace, the Mind Sculptor. I expect this to be a big boost to Ancient Tomb decks.

Scars of Mirrodin Legacy Preview 1

If you're looking for ideas on affinity, it's over at this page.

Scars of Mirrodin absolutely excites me! Just like Mirrodin brought Chalice of the Void, Trinisphere, and Crucible of Worlds to make Stax a legitimate deck, Scars promises to at least add on to or even revamp artifact heavy decks in Legacy. As of the point when this article is written, close to a third of Scars has been spoiled and there are some cards that are sure to make an impact on Legacy. Perhaps the card that catches veteran Legacy players' eyes is this:
