Better yet, all of Death and Taxes’ disruptive creatures are exactly that: creatures. All of those one mana cantrips that fuel Legacy are pretty bad when they cost two mana. The combination of mana taxation in the form of Thalia, and disruption with cards like Mother of Runes, Wasteland, and Rishadan Port allows it to play a great mana denial game against most decks.
Possibly the best non blue deck in Legacy, and my personal favourite if I had to leave the Islands at home. They certainly aren’t as safe or powerful as Force, but they are the best way these decks have of tackling these decks without having access to the powerful countermagic that blue has to offer. Now they have different ways of attacking combo through cards like Thoughtseize, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and, against Storm and Reanimator, Deathrite Shaman. It means that they’re not at the mercy of the top of their deck as much as decks without Brainstorm. They also tend to have poor combo matchups in the first game because of the lack of Force of Will. To begin with, the main reason non-blue decks aren’t as popular is the fact that Brainstorm allows decks to remove some level of variance and fix bad hands. So today I’m going to take a look at a couple of the non-blue decks that can take their own. At the SCG Player’s Championship, the Roanoke team brought Death and Taxes, saying that it was a deck that people were ignoring and could attack the format really well. Legacy has slowed down a lot and midrange decks are king. Miracles has been one of the top dogs since Fate Reforged and even the Delver decks are slowing down with things like BUG and 4C Delver.
Lands taking down the Grand Prix and Punishing Blue winning the Star City Games Legacy Open in November certainly showed that the format is in a position now where decks can get away with not running four copies of Brainstorm. It’s been a while since I last checked in and the Legacy format has changed a lot since GP Seattle.
