Thanks for the info, I'm going to go read that current guide. I hope to have all the pieces for this deck by saturday so i can play in a local legacy tournament.
I'm really interested in picking this deck up. But my main concern is sideboarding. I understand that the deck plays a wish board for certain cards, but how do you determine what needs to be taken out when the deck looks so tight as is.
I also buy from the big stores from the convenience of having all cards come from the same place. It's obviously not a problem if you simply want a dark depths playset, but when you buy 30+ cards, the shipping costs simply add up.
I do this as well, but only about twice of three times a year. Most of the other times I go to a "Local" store and just trade stuff in that I don't want anymore. I also have to agree with an earlier poster, Ebay is where you can find a lot of great deals, you can also find fakes there, and ratings aren't always what people say they are(about 2% of the time). You just have to take the good with the bad, as long as you buy from people with a good reputation and several feedbacks you should be fine.
So I understand that with the new Jund depths deck winning a few weeks ago, and then Kurt Spiess winning with combo lands recently is pretty far fetched, but is there seriously any reason as to why this card has nearly doubled in price in less than 7 days? Personally, I see this as pure speculation towards modern unbannings, but who's to say that's going to happen. Thoughts everyone?
I changed over to legacy and modern. To me it just made no sense to pay monry for cards i can't play with after a year plus i'm a nervous/ADD builder that likes changing decks every couple weeks/months so i collect everything i want to build and don't worry about rotation. Its a little hard finding a game in my meta sometimes but we have a usual crowd that makes it fun. I hope the format picks up more popularity though.
Try talking your local store owners into setting things up. That's what we did in my area after legacy died off. Now we have two stores that sanction events once a week and it's a lot of fun. But if you do this prepare to have to really try and push it in your meta with advertising on like facebook and at FNM so people know what's going on.
I don't know if someone posted it as a suggestion yet or not, but Domain Slivers? Wouldn't be that hard to brew a list and you get to play all the best slivers since most of them have only a single mana symbol in their mana cost.
From what I've noticed at the last few local events I've played at is that Aven Mindcensor is a must for the board in no less than a 2-of slot, I"m going up to 3-of because of a lot of decks in my meta rely on fetching a lot including another domain zoo deck. Rakdos charm is a great utility spell I run two right now, and I feel twin is too good to not have orb for. I'll post my board as of right now, though some of the cards are probably going to change.
I'd like to help, but I only just started playing this deck and am still working on getting all parts of it down. It really is quite the science to play this deck, although I love shuffling my deck nearly every turn from fetches lol.:p
