Will Gifts go back to Mana Severance-Goblin Charbelcher kills? That combo costs 2 mana more if I'm not mistaken (Severance + tinker + activate belcher vs Vault + Fusilade). I'd imagine the effect on Legacy will be greater.

Your thoughts?

Conversely, doesn't this deck roll to a Leyline of the Void? You have no means to remove it main, and you are almost incapable of playing spells while it is in play; you are playing a bad sealed deck at that point. You have chain of vapor out of the board, but it still seems sketchy to me. Of course, how many people will run 4 Leyline in their board or main? I would guess that this deck is good, but may never again be great, at least until it is forgotten.

Smemmen, I am curious about how you see this deck in the future, and how resistant it is to graveyard hate.

#5 for me.


It looks to me like they made sure all of the art was of a different style than the other pieces.

edit: Apparently you can click on the pictures to see a bigger version. Just thought I'd mention that in case someone is as unobservant as I am after midnight.

Akroma doesn't tap to attack




This also applies to Meekstone - Meandeck Oath could get away without running any non-counter answers because no one was expecting them. I'd expect oath decks to run cunning wishes (maybe 3, so they can intuition for them?) in the future, or some other answer.

Even if they don't, you still have to play creatures to win, so they can just oath off those. Running these also lowers your threat count.


Decks with access to Green and White can run Ray of Revelation, which is strong against oath. At the very least, it's a good sideboard card for Tog (who can intuition for it) and 4CC. But you don't have access to white.
