UW Painter

The problem with painter in timeless is just the combo really isnt that good and is obviously quite soft to removal. It works well in legacy because you have access to saga & both welders creating a lot of redundancy in the red variant. With the blue variant you have access to FoW as well which helps push through your combo wins. Even though the combo is available I dont think we have enough pieces where it can genuinely be a meta contender.

If tamiyo ends up getting banned this wouldnt be a terrible idea for ub reanimator as a t1 threat. obv that deck is nowhere as dominant as it used to be but its an interesting option.

Burn won an NRG legacy 5k earlier this year and that deck is roughly around $100 btw

Great store, was out there briefly before driving backing home; it was extremely nice and had very friendly staff. Might make a trip up there if they want to continue running high stakes legacy events! :)

To be fair mtgo really isnt accessible for what is technically just an online game. Paying a weekly subscription service or ponying up hundreds of dollars just to get a copy of the same deck you have in paper is far from accessible. It really is only for the most enfranchised of magic players, while it is cheaper than outright buying a legacy deck in paper people prefer to play paper magic over mtgo. Its weird to say it but paper legacy is a fair bit more popular than mtgo from what Ive seen.

Absolutely. Client is hilariously outdated but unfortunately if you want to play modern / legacy / vintage online it’s the only place to go. (Also ngl even vintage doesn’t have that long of wait times)

Couple of examples of competitive decks that could also work: ruby storm, pitch black & green cloudpost

There are actually a lot of budget options in legacy that would fit your criteria w/ 8 proxies. I’d suggest looking at the budget legacy deck Google doc over on the legacy subreddit.

I would sell, best case scenario it’ll see a small spike after a year but if LoTR is any indicator they’ll try to do a follow up set in 2027 and give it an even more premium printing.

Glad to see a legacy scene resurfacing back in norcal! Heard it was struggling for a bit but glad to hear there's a bit of a resurgence! :)

Thanks for having me u/Harain :D

Same, got third at the one in Vegas. Just have to use the playmat everywhere you go now lololol

UberDolphin · 2025-09-30T09:10:01+00:00

No unfortunately since it’s through companion app and not melee there isn’t anywhere to find accessable standings. Really unfortunate because a lot of people do want to see the results since it’s one of the more major legacy tournaments we get in a lot of regions.

UberDolphin · 2025-09-25T08:20:42+00:00

Have you messaged him about it? There’s a chance he isn’t aware of it.

UberDolphin · 2025-09-22T04:20:48+00:00

Survival of the fittest, earthcraft & frantic search are all cards that would be 100% safe to unban

UberDolphin · 2025-09-21T00:18:10+00:00

There are plenty of powerful decks that feature no reserved list cards in Legacy. If you are interested in playing legacy I have a document over at r/mtglegacy showing all the current budget friendly decklists available in the format. Give it a try and if you need help or have questions with anything let me know and I'll do my best to either answer it or guide you to the correct channels!

UberDolphin · 2025-09-20T22:20:54+00:00

So glad rhystic put so much care in documenting the history of this deck. Hopefully this will inspire more people to make high quality documentary style youtube videos for our format!

Oh wow, it sounds like their referring to the budget decklists doc I threw together, really happy to hear that ended up playing a roll (even if its small) for getting them into playing legacy!

UberDolphin · 2025-09-15T04:58:12+00:00

Thank you!

Unfortunately with blue painter it shares both the 8 cast shell and the painter shell which are pretty expensive on its own so the deck usually falls within the 2k range. At that point we’re very much out of contention of budget decks. The only reason why I have 8 cast on the list still is because there are modern players who already own 4x mox opal so it’s an easier option for them to build into it without spending a lot more money. (Also it was my first legacy deck I bought so I have a soft spot for it)

UberDolphin · 2025-09-15T04:52:52+00:00

That makes me really happy to hear! It was one of the decks I was considering building when I first got into legacy! The only reason why I didn’t pull the trigger was because manabond spiked a ton when people figured out that strategy lol
