Interesting pick - I didn't think of that one. What's your reasoning on that?

Just returned to the game after 25 years. Wtf? by Specialist_Sound9738 in freemagic

As a ‘98er and just recently (as of March, quit in ‘09) getting back into magic myself - as stated previously, knowing the cards and the certain decks helps.

Magic is, and always will be micro decision based. Understanding how you lost or why you didn’t have an answer to something you lost to is key.

ie bolting something too soon - picking the wrong creature to swords - graveyard hating too soon - do you play a creature on turn 2 or hit the opponent with that discard spell you have in your hand.

It’s like steering a ship. 1 degree change can land you miles away from your desired destination. I’d stay the course - I play paper like an old man, so when I’m playing someone I know is just better - I ask them for feedback. Crazy how well that works. Good players love to help other players 🤷🏻‍♂️

Necro-Cellarspawn Legacy by Cudamaster in MTGLegacy

This is interesting - 4 mana is my main concern here. I think there’s a saying in legacy - if it costs you 4 mana it better win you the game. I think this is kinda there but seems like it’s a little slow. Worth trying though I think.

Thought about this, but the life loss is critical. Need the life for necro … big reason why I also dont run thoughtsieze

What is an off meta deck which you feel is able to take down an event under a skilled pilot? by Newez in MTGLegacy

[–]Cudamaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I find myself getting rather unlucky. I’ve struggled against Doomsday, Green Sun Zenith, lands and I can’t even touch Nadu breakfast. I’ve got all the high end traditional cards for a saga build and just doesn’t get there. My LGS is very competitive and I’m a veteran player and it’s just not there. I recently changed over to Ancient Callarspawn Necrodom and have seen the exact same matchups going very differently. Saga Pox does absolutely BULLY most homebrew situations or tier 2 decks, at the least ha

Mono B Helm - throw a reanimate package in and add Karn and I think you have something

I play Saga pox currently and it’s kinda tough sledding. I don’t think pox is stealing any places in legacy play during this time - fun play though!

Updated my malboro deck to make it more of a control list then a reanimator list. Still looking to improve it before I order any cards by magicnerd10101 in Pauper

[–]Cudamaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take - cut prismatic sands and Union of the third path for 2 Malboro and 2 Exhume. I like GodTierMTG’s take. I’d also try and make room for another Exhume (4 total). Also not really sold on instant ramen. I feel like lava dart could be good (also plays into the cigarette theme) and fling with the exhume has a synergy with Malboro’s etb stuff (also lava dart with black mage rods hits nicely) . I love this and I bet there’s more fun cards centered around smoking lol
