Legacy tournament for Gaea's Cradle!
Legacy Deck Help forum

Hello everyone, I am writing today to seek help in a new format. My LGS is hosting a full 75 proxy legacy tournament for a gaea's cradle and I've always wanted to get into legacy as well as owning one of the best lands in magic. What are the decks to be expected and how do I sideboard accordingly? What deck is my best chance at both having a good time and the potential to take home the gold? I would love to hear feedback on deck construction and even tutorials on the deck if possible! Thank you all for your time :)
I actually just went to a legacy win a mox tourney so heres what I can tell you. I was playing RG lands and there was quite a few lands players and it wasnt a bad deck for the tournament but you need Barbarian Ring for Sanctum Prelate because that card killed me. There was a LOT of death and taxes and sultai/leovold/shardless decks it made up most of the tournaments I would expect more of these decks because its a proxy tourney so money doesnt matter. Another good deck to attack an unknown meta is ANT storm and elves because they are very uninteractive combo decks and you just kind fuckem.
Btw where is this tourney if you dont mind me asking?

Boza Disagree with that list. Like Sultai Delver and Shardless I dont feel are diffrent enough in this true name Leovald heavy meta to warrent being two decks etc
For top decks I would say Miracles. Sneak and Show. Grixis Delver. BUG Goodstuff. Death and Taxes. Those would probably be most represented.
In that sort of meta I would say either play Sneak and Show for the ability to play a bit slower but threaten a kill easily or Eldrazi with Jitte, Karakas, Dismember. Chalics and Thorn. Probably no warping wail.

LeaPlath, While I agree they are not TOO different, we have come to about the same conclusion for the meta (barring grixis delver/BR reanimator that have recently popped up).

These are all good suggestions and I appreciate all the input. I will research these decks and begin preparing my list. EmblemMan the tournament is at "The Comic Book Store" in glassboro new jersey.

Top dogs are: Miracles, Eldrazi, Sultai Shardless and Sultai Delver. I would add Death and Taxes to that list, as well as Show and Tell variants and Storm of course.
These are the top dekcs in Legacy right now.
I would personally sleeve up the colorless Eldrazi deck. It has the best approach to the widest meta me thinks and is easiest on beginners. Despite playing a non-Force of will deck, 4 maindeck Chalice of the Void help a lot in matchups vs t1 combo decks and easiest to play for beginners in the format I think.
