A challenge: legacy deck
Challenges and Articles forum

Make a semi-decent legacy decklist with 4 Scornful Egotist as the main card. Not a regular decklist with 4 in the sideboard. 4 in the main as the central card / wincon. Good luck, if it's possible!
I'm sure people have done it before, but I still wanted to see if it was possible.

I would say the pod deck is actually pretty cool. Perhaps a little slow for legacy, but still about as close as it gets, I would assume. Anyone know any other decks that can abuse Scornful Egotist?

Threw this together before bed because I liked the challenge.

To be honest this challenge is practically impossible given the restriction of Legacy playability.

@ Epochalyptik or ChiefBell
This should probably get moved to the Challenges Forum, no?

I'm not the best at making any decks besides EDH, but I attempted the challenge.

incarceratedGeneticist: I assumed that the OP specified a Legacy-legal deck because Scornful Egotist is not Modern-legal. I'm pretty sure they meant the "Legacy pool of cards," and not "a competitive, Legacy format deck." Perhaps if Figag said "casual" deck instead of "Legacy"...?

@fluffybunnypants I wasn't aware there was such a thing. Yes, this does belong there though. My bad.

I'm considering putting together a pauper deck with Scornful Egotist, Rush of Knowledge and Dispersal Shield. maybe Burnt Offering, but It's definitely more about fashion then function.

Add Energy Tap to that Burnt Offering to tap then sac for double mana, if you want, you don't have to.

No, its not really possible. There are a few ways to abuse Scornful Egotist, Blast of Genius, and the Dragon enchantments(Dragon Fangs, Dragon Breath, etc), but the most competitive way would be with Birthing Pod. However I would hardly call it legacy playable.
Scorn Pod.
