My Definition of Deck Versions

I know that I often update my decks, especially as I get new ideas. This led me to create a version system for my MTG blog. However, previously I was unsure how I would differentiate between say, Version 7.2 and 7.5, in the tenths digit, as well in the unit’s digit. And, for example, why should I call one deck Version 5.0 and another deck Version 6.0.

Well after pondering this conundrum I came up with a solution that makes me very happy. That solution is that each time I switch out 1 card, and put another card in its place, the tenth’s digit will increase one tenth. However, I will start at 1.0, not 0.0. And, if I switch more than 10 cards, that will result in a change of a single unit.

For example, if I switched out 1 Unnatural Predation, and put in 1 Primal Frenzy, if the original Version that contained that Unnatural Predation was 7.0, then the version with Primal Frenzy as a replacement for Unnatural Predation would be deemed, “Version 7.1,” and so on, such that if 10 cards in total were changed from 7.0, then that would merit that the deck would merit the distinction of Version 8.0.

1st Legacy Deck, Now Titled “Sickness” - Infect/Poison Version 6.0

This deck has 64 cards, and no sideboard. I understand that some may find that distressing, but I think it is for the best. This deck now has some kill cards because sometimes that is what is needed. Really, I was just getting too many pump spells in my hand. It was overkill.

***** Khalni Hydra - If you have plenty of small creatures, then cast this card and slam your opponent

For every green creature you have, this card costs 1 mana less to cast. I play this in my 2nd Legacy mono green deck. It works great with small mana boosters like Llanowar Elves, where you can use that card to subtract 2 from this cards cost. This card is slamming, and I think it will work best in your deck if you are able to play it for less than 6 mana, ideally 4 or 5 mana if you got your game on early and are closing in on a win.

***** Vines of Vastwood - One of the Most Powerful Booster Cards

This card is most likely key or close to being key for many Legacy decks that rely on boosting cards. Playing mono green, or even a two color infect deck? Then, this card comes with my highest recommendation. However, don't play it unless you can kick it.

2nd Legacy Deck: Mono Green Version 1.1

This deck is updated at the following website:
http://craig-hamilton-mtg.blogspot.com/2013/04/2nd-legacy-deck-mono-green-10_27.html

This deck is not nearly as competitive as my Legacy Infect deck, but it is still a very good deck.

Creatures

4 Dungrove Elder

4 Llanowar Elves

4 Sylvan Ranger (This card makes my deck as if I had 22 forests)

4 Timbermaw Larva

2 Deadly Recluse

1 Ambush Viper

2 Elvish Herder

2 Arbor Elf

1 Boreal Druid

1 Joraga Treespeaker

1 Fyndhorn Elder

Instants

4 Vines of Vastwood

4 Primal Bellow

1 Naturalize (this card would also work well with 3 others in a sideboard)

Sorcery

2 Cultivate (both Cultivate and Kodama’s reach would work well in a side board)

1 Kodama’s Reach (Cultivate and Kodama’s Reach make it as is I have more than 18 forests, which is good especially with Sylvan Ranger)

Enchantment

4 Gigantiform

18 Forests

***** Rancor - This Card Is Good Enough Even For Legacy Format

= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Magic: the Gathering - Rancor (185) - Magic 2013

I just bought 4 of these for my pauper deck. This card is so good that I hope it doesn't get banned in Pauper format. I also use this card in my Legacy Infect deck, where I run 4 of them. That this card comes back to your hand makes it indisposable. Trample is better than making a creature have flying. Trample enchantments are usually awesome, and that is especially the case with Rancor.

***** Glistener Elf - Essential for My Poison Legacy Deck.

Essential for My Poison Legacy Deck.

This review is from: Magic: the Gathering - Glistener Elf - New Phyrexia

The main reason why I love this card is that I can play it on turn one. That means by turn 2 or turn 3 I am thinking about taking my opponent out of the game. I don't recommend a 2nd turn kill because it puts all of your might into one blast, and if that is countered by your 3rd or 4th turn your attack may not be sufficient to win the game. However, if you want to clean up your opponent quick, which is the best idea in Legacy, this card is essential.
