The tweaked and Changed Version of Legacy Isle. Lost LEgacy is no longer mainboarded thus this no longer being fair to call "Legacy Isle" The goal is to take the draw almost any game to discard to handsize after drawing to put a Shadowborn Apostle in the yard. With a Surgical Extraction in hand this allows you to exile all Shadowborn Apostle copies from you deck (failing to find the ones in your hand of course unless you are on the bridge plan post sideboard ;) ) before your second turn hopefully putting you at about 21 cards in library on average meaning any Shelldock Isles are immediately available for activation upon untapping. You can't bring in too many cards post sideboard as it screws with the ability to be fast when comboing off but gaining interaction since the main deck has almost none. Lost Legacy in the sideboard is for opponent graveyard hate since both Surgical Extraction and Extirpate require the graveyard.

The Fatties

Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Emrakul gets cast off shelldock allowing you to take the extra turn and exile your opponent's whole board most likely

Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger Big Fatty that exiles 2 permants upon being cast. Can be better than emrakul at times if flashed in to block multiple creatures since you can exile 2 and block a third with just one creature

Rune-Scarred Demon Our one demon for shadowborn apostle, lets us tutor any missing combo pieces.

the Lands

Shelldock Isle Our way to cheat our fatties into play for a single blue mana after exiling our deck. Deck does not function without it.

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth let's our lands tap for black to cast apostle's to block, just a good utility land

Dimir Aqueduct Let's us discard to hand size after playing a turn 1 land if need be and reuse shelldocksPolluted Delta/Watery Grave Just fetches and ShocksIsland Basic for path to exile or if we can't pay the life to get a shock to activate an isle

Sideboard

We Don't have a big one but the things we have can matter

Lost Legacy Allows us to exile our deck through Graveyard hate

Blackmail Discard Spell, mostly used to target ourselves to discard an emrakul out of our hand

Ensnaring Bridge Gives some hope vs fast creature decks. Can be empty handed or close to it fairly often after "doomsdaying"

Exile effects

Surgical Extraction free exile effect, allows for the nutty turn 3 emrakul possibility

Extirpate While not free like Surgical, extirpate cannot be countered due to split second

Lost Legacy as mentioned in the sideboard section, allows us to go off even with graveyard hate out, sideboarded due to the hard time getting double black.

The 64 Card maindeck looks wierd but it gives us a fraction of a percent more likely hood to go off faster as odd as it sounds while also fitting in the necessary combo pieces. This deck's best finish was getting second out of 8 players at a new year's eve tournament.
