This list still under construction!
This is my RL version of Orb Control which I run in local Legacy tournaments from time to time. It's more expensive than 'Orb Control', my original budget combo deck. Anyways, the above list is my actual deck. The list below is close to the list I want to run once I've acquired all of the cards.
The SB is also just a mash of cards because I am still deciding on what is most important to have.
So why run a Mesmeric Orb/Basalt Monolith combo deck? It's fast, powerful and much more resilient to hate than other graveyard combo decks in Legacy like Cephalid Breakfast or Dredge, IMHO.
Right now I'm too lazy to write a primer for this deck so I will link to the Budget Orb Control list which explains how this deck works. Orb Control (Mill/Control/Grave Combo)
TOURNAMENT RESULTS!
I piloted the exact list above to the top 4 at a local tournament with 14 players. The only decks I lost to were ANT and Zoo (which I almost beat... just made a couple bad play choices).
A few weeks before that I was likely going to have taken Orb to the top 4 as well but I had to drop due to the tournament running late and having other arrangements.
This is the list I want to run in the future:
