The rescaminator mana is so tight that they might have to. Since it seemed like they have troll, maybe swamp would be better to get the USea the following turn but then they're very far from Murktide. That deck is definitely vulnerable to Wasteland overall though.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. After some discussion in the discord Animar probably requires more building around or it's probably better to just replace it. However RUG as a color combo has some promise.

Kinda shows how many lines the deck has. Overall, that is a bit better than the Recruiter for Bowmaster line I took. (2:05:11)

Thanks for the feedback. No doubt I'm a novice at this deck.

I think it will be a Deadguy Ale staple. The card fills a lot of holes in the deck and is particularly strong in some of the weakest matchups like 8 Cast and Delver. I also could potentially see it changing the deck to rely on something like Staff of the Storyteller as a card advantage engine instead of/in addition to Dark Confidant since Bowmasters play nicely with Staff. Overall, I'm pretty excited for the card although I sort of suspect it may be delayed in coming to MTGO (there's an announcement in ~2 weeks).

@NicFitMTG hadn't thought of playing Staff in my build, though Bowmasters could certainly change my mind on that (because it just looks that good). I know it'll pair nicely with my Graveyard Trespassers, since it punishes the opponent for getting extra cards in hand to deal with my 2-3 for 1 Werewolf (the Ward alone on that card is hysterical).

@@nicholasfarrell5981 We will have to see. It will definitely have an impact on the Deadguy archetype and it should be a good upgrade.

Ya, at 1:37:51 I assume you mean. I tend to agree in retrospect and I think while I saw that play at the time it was definitely the better play. I thought by wastelanding I might have an extra turn but that was wishful thinking.

I'm back on 2x Strix now. I think it's too good in the Delver/Initiative meta.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. The matchup is closer than this league makes it appear. I am 19-18 against initiative with ninjas according to my data although I had a few more losses early while figuring out the matchup. It feels like 60/40 or 55/45. The matchup really hinges on the first 1-2 turns. If they stick an Initiative creature and you can't take the initiative from them, the matchup is hard. However, if you kill their guy and take the initiative, they can lose just as easily. I've found Dystopia to be the best sideboard card against them.

@@cutrategreatness early chalice can be problematic as well. Die roll plays a big part in the matchup I feel for the exact reasons you mentioned above. But if we connect with ninjas it's hard for us to lose just from a pure card advantage point

Thanks, it's illustrated pretty well vs Control at 2:16:25.

I do think it's worth a consideration but a singleton 4 drop is hard to justify. Queen Marchesa seems great on the surface but it can't be powered out by Dark Ritual and unlike Dread Cantor it's a true 4 drop for Bob purposes. The Monarch is also dangerous against control nowadays due to all the Coatls flying around. Long story short, in the matchups where you want Marchesa/Monarch, I think Dread Cantor is better in the current metagame. In a deck that uses other means to power out creatures like moxes or maybe Vials, I would consider it.

I could see a Recurring Nightmare based premodern deck. Wouldn't Premodern (a format I've never tried) mean no Primeval Titan, no Field, no Riveteers, no evoke elementals. Basically just the core Nic Fit cards of Explorer + Therapy and lands would be left. Long story short though, when building a deck like this, we have to be very mindful of why this is a Legacy deck as opposed to another format. Outside of Veteran, Therapy, and Zenith, there aren't a lot of Legacy cards here.

BG Rock is what this deck looks like in premodern. It is very good.

No need to pay. I'll just put it out there when it's closer to done.

@@cutrategreatness you’re amazing thank you :)!

@@cutrategreatness btw is containment priest not an option in this deck

It's an option, but I don't think it's as good as alternatives in this deck. Right now, I think the combination of Surgical and Voidwalker are a little better for a few reasons. Firstly, there's a couple turn 1 decks in the format that are common on MTGO like Reanimator and Oops. This means you need Surgical or Leyline in decks that aren't packing Forces. Also, the fact that Voidwalker can be powered out turn 1 with a Dark Ritual shouldn't be underestimated. That alone can win the game against some graveyard decks. Voidwalker has proven to be excellent from exiling cards that wreck Deadguy like Punishing Fire to just being incidental roadblocks against decks with Loam, Uro, or Dragon Rage Channeler.

@@cutrategreatness thanks for this breakdown really appreciate it :) just finished the deck in paper and bringing it to a local tournament soon, so you have a discord or pateron ?

I tried it at first but unfortunately I don't think it's good enough right now. Being able to cast Prismatic Ending on turn 1 -- even if it can't hit lands like Vindicate -- is just exactly what the deck needed.

@@cutrategreatness I sometimes used to play dead guy ale with x2 chrome mox or x2 mox diamond and that made vindicate somewhat more appealing. I probably would just skip that entirely and play pretty much this today

Also neat deck idea if you want more of a better discard cantor build use chains of Mephistopheles and it does nothing against you since your not drawing from confidant you just put it into your hand

This deck has always played hymn and thoughtseize… discard isn’t “bad” in legacy

@@willl793 right like discarding an uro or kroxa is great value. If you believe that your delusional

Early game discard can destroy your opponent's game plan, especially on a mulligan. Thoughtseize gives you the choice of what to discard, and Hymn is random, so the opponent can't choose strategic discards. Certain discard spells are also good in vintage.

I'm not sold on Deluge in the current meta. While it's great against small creature decks like D&T and Elves, it doesn't deal with one of the main creatures in the format in Murktide Regent. Deed on the other hand hasn't been this good in a long time. It's a great solution to the Saga decks. Thanks for the tips, though.

You're definitely right that the Snakes are great right now although they're hard to make work with only 4 snow basics like this list. Brainstorm is hard to fit into this 60 and I think it's a bit of a different deck if I do. However, once you add 3-4 snakes, 4 Brainstorm, your blue count starts to look good enough for Force of Will. It's a different deck than this one but I think it's definitely workable.

@@cutrategreatness The problem is Nic Fit is not good in the current meta. Everybody runs too many basics and threats are too different to deal with. We dont really have game against Doomsday and the new equipment from Taxes is bs honestly. I wish nic fit was viable as I love it.

@@cutrategreatness This is the list I played in February and it was quite decent. 2 Veteran Explorer 4 Baleful Strix 2 Ice-Fang 1 Ooze 2 Uro 1 Witness 1 Leovold 1 Tracker 1 Meren 1 Questing Beast 4 Therapy 2 GSZ 4 Brainstorm 4 Ponder 1 Sylvan Library 2 Abrupt Decay 1 Assassins Trophy 1 Drown in the Loch 1 Toxic Deluge 1 Deed 2 Jace 2 scIsland 2 scForest 1 scSwamp 2 Bayou 2 Tropical 2 Sea 3 Verdant Catacombs 3 Misty Rainforest 2 Polluted Delta 1 Phyrexian Tower 1 Volrath's Stronghold Side: 4 Force of Will 3 Force of Negation 3 Surgical Extraction 3 Veil of Summer 1 Painful Truths 1 Nissa, Vital Force It would look quite different today but the direction is the best nic fit approach imo. You keep the curve low, you 2for1 with every card.

You're right. Some of these interactions are hard to realize in real-time. I'm not typically a moon player and Blood Moon effects are not common in Nic Fit. Still, it's a powerful effect especially in this matchup (Cloudpost) which is normally a bad one for most Nic Fit decks.

The decklist is in the video description.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. Jund Nic Fit seems pretty decent right now. Give it a try!

You are 100% correct. That is definitely a better play.

Take a look at this article: nicfitmtg.com/archetypes/junk-fit/ In terms of being competitive with Abzan, however, Rectors is probably a little better positioned right now. nicfitmtg.com/archetypes/rectors/
