![]() ![]() Since the Stage was already in play when it turns into the Depths, it won't have the ice counters, and the act of sacrificing it will summon Big Daddy Lage (Marit Lage is actually a woman, according to what I've read). The Thespian's Stage combo is done by cloning the Depths, and using the Legend Rule to sacrifice the copy as a state-based action. This is done with either Vampire Hexmage (the original combo enabler for Marit Lage) to strip away all counters on your Dark Depths, or using Thespian's Stage. The combo involves cheating the ice counters off of Dark Depths in one turn, creating a 20/20, Flying, Indestructable creature. "Dread Marit Lage lies dreaming, not dead" This isn't a lands deck featuring the Dark Depths combo, this is a pure combo deck, and one that is very likely to surprise your opponent. If you can't tell, this deck has one gameplan, and that is make a Marit Lage token as fast as possible. I'll start with the deck I previewed last week: Hex Depths (sometimes referred to as Turbo Depths). Keep in mind, a fair amount of decks use no basic lands at all, so Ghost Quarter can be surprisingly effective in Legacy, and it's extremely inexpensive. A 200 ticket play-set isn't something I consider cheap, especially for an uncommon land, that's a fixed version of Strip Mine (which is, ironically, a very cheap card). Wasteland did lose half of its value since I purchased them, but it's still a fifty ticket uncommon as of this writing. There is a good chance that the price will continue to drop on Wasteland, due to Tempest Remastered coming out soon, but for now, it's not cheap. You could get four of some dual lands and a Jace, the Mind Sculptor for what you'd pay for a Wasteland. Avoiding playing a Wasteland deck (or the few Port decks for that matter) can go a long way towards affording a good deck. However, Wasteland goes in more decks that all of those cards. Yes, Rishadan Port, Misdirection, and now even Liliana of the Veil and Tarmogoyf are more expensive. ![]() While compiling this list of decks, I came to realize that more than any other money card, Wasteland is responsible for making decks absurdly expensive. It's always nice to have something different to play to avoid being burned out on your normal deck of choice. If you're an established player, maybe trying out one of these decks could be a break from your regular deck. If you have the time though, you could use one of these decks to grind out some packs to sell, and wind up with your dream deck. Maybe one of these decks isn't your ideal deck, and that's understandable. If you are reading this, and have felt that way yourself, I sincerely hope that this article can help you pick a deck and get started. That is to say, Legacy seemed like the coolest thing that I'd never experience. For a very long time, I stood on the outside, looking in. Today, I want to talk about some of the fringe decks in the Legacy format, with a focus on decks that are easier to afford, and have what it takes to win in a Daily Event. Welcome back, to another installment of Legacy Lessons.
