Food Chain + Lab Maniac

Legacy forum

Posted on Feb. 2, 2016, 10:18 a.m. by awphutt

So I'm looking into legacy online, and I came across Food Chain and quite liked the sort of Midrange-Combo deck style. But I came to wonder why Tidespout Tyrant was used over Laboratory Maniac as the finisher of the combo, since Lab Maniac is a guaranteed kill right there and then were the Tyrant requires you to wait for another turn.

Is there something I've missed?

From what I can tell, bouncing all your opponent's stuff is pretty good.

How would lab maniac win?

Because you don't draw your whole deck off of Genesis hydra or misthollow griffin plus lab maniac dies to bolt

Right, you need Tidespout to bounce the hydra to draw your deck. I knew I was missing something, cheers.
