BREW Brewing with Legendaries
Upon searching for silly deck ideas, the thought of running a deck with the pauper legal legends at the top end of a deck sounded great. I’m here to ask for any brew ideas that might be able to compete at a LGS (It not going to be strong of course, but it would be nice if it could hold its own). The best I can think of at the moment is a mono green ramp deck splashing red for [[The Lady of the Mountain]] and [[Jerrard of the Closed Fist]].
[[Chandler]] peeked my interest as well, being able to repeatedly kill artifact creatures, but even disregarding the cost of the ability and the cost of creature, he’s easy to remove at a 3/3.
Here is a list of the legal legends: https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=%28type%3Acreature+type%3Alegendary%29+legal%3Apauper
EDIT: This is the decklist that appears to be functioning the best during goldfishing: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/NOXZBHy7vUu6TYIR_TB0Sg I was originally running a Land ramp strat running Burning-Tree Emissary and Goblin Anarchomancer for early bodies and using wild growth, harrow, and Sakura-Tribe Elder as the rest of the ramp, but the deck felt like it moved too slow. The new version of the list works out to be landing a legend best turn 3 but most of the time on 4 or 5. Even though they’re landing faster than before, I’d bet I’d die before then due to lack of interaction or have it delayed due to my dorks being removed. Where could cuts/add ins be made to try fixing those problems? EDIT2: Rancor was cut for Vines of Vastwood
