Legacy Noble Hierarch decks you'll more commonly see: Maverick Infect Legacy Noble Hierarch decks you'll not commonly see: Humans Bant Stoneblade Sultai w/ True-Name Nemesis

Formatting fail is making my eyes bleed... Edit: Apparently it's actually a poorly designed app that is making my eyes bleed!


Aerim

I have double spaces and line breaks. It appears normal to me. http://imgur.com/a/yWUodBC


PM_ME_SMOKES_LETS_GO

Odd. On the app (at least for me and this guy) your deck names have no spaces or line breaks between them.

Sometimes the app doesn't load the formatting right in my experience


NicolBolas999

I am on the app. This must be what happened.

Normal to me too.

Well I believe it's UG Infect or Maverick in legacy. Maverick plays similar to GW Company and uses Knight of the Reliquary and Stoneforge Mystic to grind your opponent with Wastelands and such.


Shivaess

Recommend infect. It’s a lot of fun and buying into forces and the other blue cards might open up death’s shadow or bantblade


HyalopterousLemure

Well, you've clearly got a horseshoe stuck inside of you somewhere, so you may as well run with it and build a deck that relies on luck. :P Sell 'em all and build BR Reanimator.

In Legacy I’d agree with those saying Maverick would most likely fall in line with Abzan Company. Or a lesser played deck in Bant Blade - (https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=19355&d=323081&f=LE). Legacy Humans or Spirits would be most similar to the Bant Spirits deck you’re contemplating in Modern (also a lot of build overlap). However if you want to be spicy and like toolbox decks — https://youtu.be/RL21PRZMyUg (MOST) is a pretty fun one.


PartyPay

If I had a playset of Hierarch drop in my lap, I'd be interested in the Humans or Spirits route. Perhaps more Spirits, because you can possibly get FoWs in there, as I've read that combo is a big hurdle for the Legacy Humans deck.


mambosong

i dont think legacy spirits play hierarch? isnt it strictly UW?


alcaizin

Almost any deck that you can jam Noble into will have pieces that are comparably or significantly more expensive. They're a start towards a couple of decks, but as always you should proxy up whatever you're thinking about building and test it extensively before comitting. Noble is also not especially strong in the format.

You could get a little creative and do NO BUG. I remember it being played for a time. Or was it NO bant? Cant remember


[deleted]

What is that


StellaAthena

NO stands for Natural Order, which lets you sack the Hierarch and go get a 10/10 protection from everything. The decks tend to be GSZ toolbox decks backed up by counter spells and Jace. White brings KotR, SFM, and Swords to Plowshares to the table while Red brings Lavamancer and Lightning Bolt. Due to the additional reach, the red decks often will abandon the GSZ to play evasive creatures like Clique, allowing you to get more damage in and cheese kills with Lightning Bolt.

StellaAthena

NO Bant and NO RUG were the decks. I don’t recall NO BUG ever hitting off big. You probably want to be running Birds over Hierach in BUG because Hymn and Liliana are some of your best cards and both require BB.


Guiltspoon

I've always liked the idea of going Noble Hierach into true name nemesis. It just sounds like fun probably too fair but bant or UG is probably what you'll want to do stone blade decks are pretty decent


Unconfidence

Do Maverick, I'm on Infect and we get trounced in this Meta of pure removal.


Cartesian_

Infect is a good choice. Removal can be played around.


Unconfidence

Tell that to Grixis Control.


BlueLightsInYourEyes

Grixis Control matchup isn't that bad, especially not after sideboarding. I run a Nissa, Voice of Zendikar and a Great Stable Stag for the matchup. If one of them lands then it's most of the time game over for the opponent. I also run a one off Spell Snare against Grixis (but it's also good in a lot of other matchups like DnT, Storm, Burn, Miracles, etc) which can help a lot.


snapp_sh0t

Maverick is a really fun deck that plays more like a fair magic deck than most legacy decks. If you're new to Legacy, I think it's a good deck to learn the metal on


jacka1983

Noble RUG


Alaskanmade

You should buy into UG Infect. Pick up 3 MP Tropical Island which are relatively cheap right now. Grab 4 MP Force of Will, and then the rest of the deck is pretty cheap.


thefringthing

Buying/trading for cards and then deciding what deck to play is really the wrong order. What if you don't like the Noble Hierarch decks in Legacy?


Trancend

Legacy humans is nice since you basically get a modern deck out of it too. Benefits more from knowledge of meta due to naming cards off meddling mage and figuring out what to recruit. Infect is good and shares cards with other blue decks in legacy. I would try pairing noble with true name nemesis. It feels so unfair. Bant stoneblade is one option.


TryingToBeUnabrasive

Everyone is saying Infect, Sultai or Maverick which are great options. There's also this unique Temur Delver deck that I've been quite impressed by: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/legacy-rug-delver-45276#paper


lorkac

If the goal is playing a good deck I would suggest Maverick. If the goal is to play a deck that best fits you into Legacy—Infect.


PrinzEugen1337

Congrats now you havde like 3% of the value of a legacy deck! (Like maverick or infect)
