Return to Legacy? Suicide Black.

Cure for the Itch....


I've been wanting a craft a cheap legacy deck for god knows how long now.... Perhaps it's time to indulge....

I picked up a collection the other day which I feel may help me realize my first truly competitive deck in Legacy... If only I had Cabal Coffers I'd be laughing...

Here's the decklist in mind...


4 Carnophage
4 Sarcomancy
4 Nantuko Shade
2 Ichorid
4 Braids, Cabal Minion

4 Duress
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Hymn to Tourach

4 Dark Ritual
3 Diabolic Edict
3 Vendetta

19 Swamp
1 Volrath's Stronghold

SB: 4 Phyrexian Negator
SB: 4 Engineered Plague
SB: 2 Hatred
SB: 2 Planar Void
SB: 2 Tormod's Crypt
SB: 1 Perish

The only concern I have is this stupid need to know all the cards in the deck are either Legacy or Modern boardered. I can't be dealing with both in the same deck, it looks terrible. Perhaps if I got over myself I could add in Inquisition of Kozilek in place of Duress, I could run Phyrexian Obliterator instead of the Negator and Hypnotic Specter can come out for something spicier. Liliana of the Veil makes a strong case in this deck too... :\


Outside of all of that lets look at what it gets up to....

Well it's winning with silly 2/2 Zombies or a Crazed 2/2 Braids usually... Nuking the opponents hand in the early game and then hitting any creatures straight away with Vendetta or Edict..

I could do with perhaps something more late game based also like Zombie Infestation, which can be a good outlet with Ichorid...

The games go long, the opponent should be playing off the top from turn 3/4 and attrition of cheap creatures should get me through.

The sideboard brings in the Negator in the games against non-burn decks, the Plague hits goblins hard, Hatred is a spicy card which is forgotten about and can sometimes straight up win... Planar Void and Crypts as a meta-call against local players loving graveyard based decks and Perish goes against the stompy/tarmo decks.

    At last you got a rack of Sarcomancy! I remember you having a fit over my Suicide Black deck a few years back.

    Oh no, I don't have Sarcomancy yet.. I think they're the next thing I'm going to get from www.magiccardmarket.eu as no one seems to ever have any...

    Thesilentjudge....? This is either Ray F. or Jae M.? Eitherway, welcome to my blog of silliness and tangents.

Streets of Rage 2 and working.

Work for a company because you want to, not because you need to. It's 2018, opportunity is in every aspect of our life. It's literally everywhere and you'd have to be blind not to see how many start ups and big firms need gaps filled. Not to mention the rife amount of space there is for new businesses to emerge and generate income quickly. I'm not really anyone in the grand scheme of things, but I sit and observe a lot of the time. Both my immediate surroundings and the bigger picture, often asking questions others may think are irrelevant. But those questions help me paint pictures in my mind of how things are. Take a look at one of the Sega's ultimate games on the Mega Drive. Streets of Rage 2 (release in 1992) These people worked late into the night, not because they had to, because what they had was solid gold, they knew it, they had fun with it and their bosses worked hard to make sure they had the space needed to shine. A small, agile ...

2017, you were good to me. Achieved living independence in a lush flat in Brighton. Deffo proud of this place even if it's a tad costly. Offset the costly flat with the new job from 2016 and managed to get a promotion to a leadership based role. (tho I'll be rescinded from that responsibility fairly soon) Got CFB: Core Staff for the year meaning I worked all CFB Grand Prix's in Europe, landed a good enough impression in Birmingham to be trusted into the 'Spec Ops' role for Lyon, a role which holds a lot of responsibility and is critical in ensuring a Magic Grand Prix runs smoothly for all involved. I had positive feedback on my work in Lyon and some areas to develop too (the best kind of feedback!) I'm already back in the role in January in London and want to visit USA and do a Grand Prix out there too. I managed to reach day 2 of 2 Grand Prix's (Barcelona & Liverpool) out of the 4 GP's I played in. The downs...

Setting up MTG Eastbourne (again) & Etiquette at the table

Image
Haven't I been here before? So it's 3pm and I'm prepping myself for the day (you see I don't get up early when I don't have to work or play MTG) and later on we have a meeting at my local gaming club to bring it more in line for better events and the like.  Gareth Ward has negotiated a contract with a supplier to get us booster boxes at an amazing price allowing us to run events with decent prizes while keeping the cost down... ...Still all I can think about is the latest MTG team I've got into. The name is currently looking like team storm count and we're going to be evaluating Fate Reforged this Thursday, hoping of course Simon Skipper is cool to drive.  We've got a great venue at Shrunken Terra in Burgess Hill, Sussex and the owner Jake Hutchinson is accomodating, providing us with hot drinks and food at a fair price. (£1.00 for a tea with a re-fill!) The venue it's self hosts webcams and is a good environment for us to play as th...
