Prepping 12-Post for Columbus Classic!

Legacy Deck Help forum

Posted on July 22, 2016, 9:31 p.m. by aeonstoremyliver

Hey there! So I'm preparing Mono 12-Post for the Legacy Classic this Sunday in Columbus, OH. I'm confident with my minor sideboard tweaks thus far, however am Pondering adding a second Dryad Arbor main board. This mainly because if I draw one, I have another to tutor up.

That being said, I've made a list of pros and cons and could use YOUR thoughts on the matter as well. Here's the pros/cons and my list at the bottom.

Pros:

  1. Green source

  2. Chump blocker for Infect

  3. Sac fodder for Liliana of the Veil's -2 or other Diabolic Edict effect

  4. Ramp for 0 with Green Sun's Zenith

  5. Have another to fetch/tutor if I draw one

Cons:

  1. Summoning sickness and can't use it right away

  2. Which is bad if I want mana up for instant speed Crop Rotation as a Wasteland, Sinkhole, or Vindicate out

  3. Reduces speed overall due to the above because...

  4. Leaves me with 7 immediately usable green sources versus 8; I'd have to take out a forest

  5. It's another non-basic, thus Blood Moon, Magus of the Moon, and Price of Progress would suck even more

And my list-

I fucking hate the fact that Elves plays two Dryad Arbors, but they're a necessary evil in order to speed the deck up. I feel like in a deck like 12post, where you also want to ramp as quick as possible, that you might also have to run two.

You're basically weighing potential speed vs. getting fucked over by drawing it. And since you're not running blue, you need that potential extra speed, same as elves.
