Hey guys. I'm looking at getting back into Legacy. Does anyone have a matrix of what the current meta looks like and what usually beats what? That'd be great.

I played legacy heavily 06/07. Back then the meta was heavy with threshhold (pre goyf/delver), goblins, high tide as the tier 1 decks. Tier 2 was like gamekeeper, deadguy (b/w pikula), TES. Tier 3 was like dredge and other stuff. I had a deck that was 80% vs the tier 1 decks called Roman Candle and only missed top 8 gencon b/c Roland Chang's awful tie breakers in the last round prevented him from IDing with me. I quit Magic for 6 years after Grand Prix Columbus in 2007 b/c I was so made over what they did with flash (removing power level errata 2 weeks before the only legacy GP)...so I've missed 6 years of legacy. Debating getting back in and going to DC. Any primer type stuff would be appreciated.

Mtgtop8.com has multiple deck lists by event and date. Also breaks down most used cards and most of which deck is played over a certain time.

I'm local I suppose for you if you ever need to borrow a deck or anything (playtest and what not).

Someone posted it on the local mtg facebook group and it felt amazingly accurate.

yah, my only problem is I play for multiple reasons. High tide, stax, miracles, and shardless BUG all fit from that flow chart depending on my mood.

I don't have enough guru islands any more, guess I could cross high tide off that list. I don't think shardless BUG is as good as its made out to be after playing it a bunch, so can cross that off. Miracles is along my style, but I think that also falls under hating yourself since sometimes the deck just doesn't do anything. That leaves stax? no thanks...

I want to try something with stifle and daze. Not sure if its RUG, BUG, or UWR... I'll figure it out eventually.

Stifle'Naught / Delver'Naught or maybe that Varolz, the Scar-Striped combo deck?
