Is anyone going to this? It is my first time there. I will be there Sunday. Is there a better forum to post this question in?

Would love to meet-up or play. I think they have daily tournaments.

right, right

bleh these new overpowered creatures

Roger.

Geist of Saint Traft attacks. I respond with Maze of Ith's ability. Is that angel token still in play + attacking?

That is a real beauty! Is there a forum to have someone take a look at my Legacy build..?

Yep I see what you mean. It is just a combo that fascinates me and I will go back to the drawing board to keep looking for a way to run it.

...Precisely! 

This is a really cool idea - I will test a little and report back..?

No... I made the best Legacy build that I could think. It isn't an artifact lock-down deck though. I made it W/B and used discard to find the spells that could target Stuffy Doll. I played as much deck-thinning as I could with fetch and cantrips. It runs great but I don't know if it would ever make a T8.

Has anyone gotten competitive with the Stuffy Doll + Guilty Conscience combo in their Workshop deck? It is a nice finisher and I would love to see it work in some format that can make T8's (or Round Two at least). Any luck..?

Thanks for the replies..!

I like Storm Seeker for the same reason I don't like Garruk Wildspeaker - classic cards and style points.

...which is totally irrelevant and frustrating for you trying to help tune this deck. But could we use Eon Hub and Forsaken City with Stasis instead?

EDIT: Yes - the Vise should be enough after a good lock-down for sure.

Yea I mentioned the Owling Mine build earlier... I was hoping to pioneer something new here.

Storm Cauldron is really interesting and I thought a lot about it. Umbilicus is a really cool card too.

So far I am gonna cut Wheel of Fortune and Final Fortune for Winter Orb and Sphere of Resistance.

Storm Cauldron and Root Maze lock things up really well. I wish the one wasn't CC5.

I play against bratty kids on MWS mostly...! So I don't really know, it is such a mixed lot.

It used to have trouble with Aggro decks turning out creature armies. The T8 Burn deck beats this too. I tried to cover my bases with the SB.

I wonder if I missed any cards that might add synergy though? I sat out a few expansion sets.

Noob question - what does the 15 proxy mean?

This is a green deck that uses lock-down and card-drawing to blast your opponent's hand. I want to make it more competitive.

The lock is with Root Maze and Winter Orb. I started experimenting with Sphere of Resistance too. You can get some drawing engines on the table to keep their hand full. The synergy with Shah of Naar Isle for this purpose is really nice.

Originally the main source of damage was Storm Seeker during opponent's draw phase. Black Vise was another good source when it came off the restricted list. Shrapnel Blast fits in with over twenty artifacts. I usually use a tapped Tree of Tales to pay for it. You can also blast your own Winter Orb.

I splashed white for the creature removal. At one time I used green's Tangle but the games sometimes drag out too long for it.

The Owling Mine archetype in Standard played some of the same ideas as this. Howling Burn decks with Sudden Impact are also similar.

If I had to change it today I would do this:

-1 Final Fortune
+1 Sphere of Resistance

Can we think of any other ways to improve it (without Black Lotus and friends)?

I don't know why people bother playing red with Stuffy Doll to burn it when Guilty Conscience just ends the game.

1. Use discard to find their Swords to Plowshares (etc).
2. Thin your deck and get mana out.
3. Play and protect Stuffy.
4. Use Guilty Conscience and tap for the win combo.

Artifacts
1x Isochron Scepter
2x Lotus Bloom
4x Stuffy Doll

Enchantments
4x Guilty Conscience

4x Caves of Koilos
4x Marsh Flats

1x Mental Misstep

What am I missing? Could this get more competitive?

I have been improving on this for a while. Can you see a way to improve it aside from Black Lotus and friends?

I think this is as useful as Black Vise will get right now. And I make very good use of Root Maze.
