the lone mana leaks seem a bit out of place honestly. you're looking to be the aggressor here hopefully so having a card that is responcive when you want them to be responding to you seems awkward

maybe it could be more of a sideboard card?

I was also thinking about somehow adding cards like Thought-Knot Seer + Cavern of Souls for some more early game pressure and maybe some Green Sun's Zenith or Summoner's Pact to find out creatures when we need them.

I was also thinking about taking out the Karakas since I don't think it is really worth having it in the deck solely to bounce our eldrazi's especially since it doesn't even create a color of mana we want. Swap it for Caven of Souls instead maybe?

Exploration too was a must, to my knowledge.

yeah that does seem good and I remember seeing it around. What would you propose we sub out for it?

You may want Ghirapur Orrery in the deck.  Let's you double up on land plays from your hand, added draw if your hand runs out.

4 mana seems like too much considering that i think we are gonna be doing most of our stuff on turn 4 anyways

Isn't this kind of deck supposed to run Life from the Loam and Constant Mists?
(I'm just asking, no sarcasm here.)

personally, I have not seen a version that runs these but I am sure it exists.

The biggest issue are wastelands for you which requires the needles. Another reason is tempo. delver and other tempo decks are a problem for you. Stifle on an Expedition map hits you too hard. the other fact is consistency. Dependig on your list you have touble to get things done. At my local gamestore is a player who plays always post. last week UG Titanpost with Primeval Titan and this week MUD Post, a lock/prison deck with chalice, trinisphere and lodestone Golem.

Yes I am familiar with these problems but with running 4 pithing needles (3 main and 1 side usually) I think you can work around wasteland especially since we also have crop rotation to counter their wastelands as well and we can use that instead of expedition map if needed. How has this player you're talking about performed? Has he been winning his games or is he going 0-X? I can see the problem with LockPost since it doesn't run any green to help find lands, and can heavily rely on map to find the lands that it needs.

Deck Reviews / [Legacy] U/G Cloudpost discussion! Can we make the deck relevant again?

U/G Cloudpost

Hello and welcome all!

I am looking to build this deck (or at least a version of this deck) since I believe that it can be very good. My intention is to build this for MTGO since prices are signifigantly lower (yeah, screw you Candelabra of Tawnos)

Now the deck list that I am going off of is shown above but because hardly anyone runs this deck it is hard to find a current list without going to 50 different events to find even a version of it. The list I provided does cover the bases of what I want though so I think it should suffice but I believe that we can modernize it a little (I already added Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger to the list instead of the old Ulamog) I am also looking for replacements for at least 1 if not 2 of the Chalice of the Void that are in the sideboard and hopefully cut out a Show and Tell or 2 to cut down costs a bit further (obviously I am not swimming in the dough here)

I would absolutely love to hear all of your thoughts and contributions that you may have, so feel free to post what's on you're mind.

Thank you all in advance for anything you may bring forward and if you would like to talk some more please to not hesitate to add me on MTGO my username is XIV_

I am starting to build this deck so if you have any of the cards I am looking for, and are not afraid to part with them, head on over to puca trade and send me some (of course I'm not asking for freebies just letting you know how we can trade) my display name is XIV thanks a bunch!

I asked my friend Jamie Keller, who does a podcast on legacy, Legacy Weapon.
According to him, the deck is ok, but just doesn't show it in results.
Another reason could be its position in the meta just isn't great.

You can find the podcast on http://www.legacyweapon.com, I know I enjoy it greatly, and gives good insights in the format.

I know wasteland is the reason people run multiple pithing needle to get around it

I'm looking at a bunch of legacy decks and one that looks cool is 12 post (or any variation of the deck) but when I look for gameplay of it most things that pop up on YouTube is from 2 years ago. There are you can find people playing it recently, but those are all from magic online and never from a big tournament. So I wanted to ask, what happened to the deck? Why did it pretty much fall out of existence? The deck list that I'm looking at seems pretty good (it's like the vintage workshop list but with cloudposts and glimmerposts. I may post the deck list later but I'm doing this on mobile so it would be annoying.) But yeah, what happened so that post became an irrelevant deck?
