Thanks. The Candel-less version is more popular due to the availability of Candelabra of Tawnos . If I had money to spend, I'd probably play Solidarity.

Also, I would not recommend this deck for beginners unless they had plenty of time to playtest. Storm decks are not easy to play.

@SplodyCopter - Cunning Wish grabs exactly what you need at the right time. Turn 3 and getting ready for the combo? Grab whatever you're missing, be it Meditate or Turnabout . Mid-combo and you've got plenty of mana but no draw? Grab card:Blue Sun's Zenith. It turns your sideboard into a wishboard, and gives you so much more consistency to find the cards you need.

Nice, I like it, I've been looking at cheap entries into legacy for awhile. I tried making a Cloudstone Curio storm deck once. I found it was too unreliable. BUT, it WAS cheap. I hope wizards starts printing more cards like Delver of Secrets  Flip  FlipMTG Card: Insectile Aberration and Snapcaster Mage that help players get into legacy a little easier.

I'm actually thinking about running this or something similar to it for the legacy portion of the tournament in Atlanta since I don't have all the cards I need for dredge yet. How have your results with this budget list been?

I tried to build this deck on MTGO, but I could not afford Meditate or Cunning Wish . So I decided to make it classic and run a playset of Frantic Search and Foresee instead, and I threw in my Snapcaster Mage . My eyes have been completely opened as to why Frantic Search was banned in legacy. Also, Snapcaster Mage is incredibly ridiculous in this deck, even as a one of.

I like Snappy in the Solidarity version a bit more. I will be playing this deck Saturday at a small local legacy event (as long as we can get 8 players).

It's great that you have the description I would have never known the purpose of the deck or how to play it without that description. Only one question, do you get to play that song while playing this deck at tournaments (or just for fun) because that would make this deck go from a good deck to the best deck that has ever been made.
