Tarmogoyf, Knight of the Reliquary, Eternal Witness, and Deathrite Shaman are you best creatures, and not necessarily in that order. Decrees are crap unless you're running Cloudposts or something. Unearth, Spark Spray, Gilded Light, and Renewed Faith are your best cyclers, in that order, with honorable mention to Expunge, Miscalculation, and Radiant's Judgment. Wasteland is fun with loam, but generally counterproductive because you'd rather have the land-drops making you mana so you can do more stuff. Liliana of the Veil, Jace the Mind Sculptor, Elspeth, Knight Errant, and Ajani Vengeant are your best 'walkers, in that order. Edge of Autumn and Sakura-Tribe Elder are for the most part, sadly too slow now.Īll of that said, this can be a solid meta deck choice if you're overrun by creature based aggro decks with limited amounts of burn. If you're really serious about trying to make the deck work, you'll need to run 8-10 accelerants like Mox Diamond, Ancient Tomb, Green Sun's Zenith, Birds of Paradise/Noble Hierarch and Deathrite Shaman. ![]() The M10 rules changes eliminating damage on the stack were unbelievably brutal to this deck, dramatically weakening it in almost every matchup. Decay kills Slide and Rift and is maindecked, which used to not be something the deck had to be overly concerned with. Shaman keeps taking away your lands so LftL isn't useful - and that's if they don't take your LftL itself. The widespread prevalence of both Deathrite Shaman and Abrupt Decay are killers. Right now is an incredibly bad time to try this deck. ![]() ![]() I've built this deck in every color combination, and with just about every conceivable "angle" whether it's burn, 'walkers, locks, tutors, or wishes or reanimation or combo wins. It's a fun, casual deck, but it's not Tier One, and honestly can't be tier one. For those of you who don't know me, just take my word for it, I know more about Slide in Legacy than any of you do.
