There's not a lot to say about this deck, since I've written about it several times, most recently here, but people have asked to see it played.

I'm currently playing a simple update of my deck from the StarCityGames.com Invitational in Atlanta with Deathrite Shaman.

Legacy
 

Creatures (20)

  • 4 Tidehollow Sculler
  • 4 Bloodghast
  • 4 Carrion Feeder
  • 4 Deathrite Shaman
  • 4 Gravecrawler

Lands (20)

  • 3 Swamp
  • 3 Badlands
  • 1 Bayou
  • 3 Bloodstained Mire
  • 3 Marsh Flats
  • 3 Polluted Delta
  • 2 Scrubland
  • 1 Undiscovered Paradise
  • 1 Verdant Catacombs

Spells (20)

    Sideboard

  • 2 Meekstone
  • 1 Pithing Needle
  • 3 Dark Confidant
  • 1 Leyline of the Void
  • 1 Oblivion Ring
  • 1 Darkblast
  • 2 Disenchant
  • 2 Go for the Throat
  • 1 Zealous Persecution
  • 1 Perish
 


He definitely didn't sideboard or draw well for game three, but it's good to see that I can beat burn without Blood Artist.

Deathrite Shaman is hilariously good against this deck, which I'm very confident is a much worse version of Enchantress than Andrew Cuneo's blue version that he played in the MOCS and Chris Anderson has had success with on the StarCityGames.com Open series.

Bringing in the Pithing Needle instead of Disenchant was very bad, but it wouldn't have mattered. He got lucky in game two, but it's a good matchup for him anyway.

Some people just need to complain. Game one in that matchup is close, but the relatively small sideboard change makes a huge difference. The extra removal and card draw makes it almost impossible to win before I lock them out.

And that's my deck.

Thanks for watching,

Sam
