4x Underground Sea
4x Reflecting Pool
1x Volraths Stronghold
7x Swamp
5x Island
4x Mox Diamond
4x Cursed Scroll
4x Masticore
4x Tradewind Riders
2x Morphling
4x Dark Ritual
4x Hymn To Tourach
4x Hypnotic Specter
4x Will O The Wisp
3x Sengir Vampire
1x Demonic Tutor
1x Vampiric Tutor
Again, don't have many other cards to choose from, but mana changes or simple recommendations (mana curve, more spells etc.) would be appreciated.
Thanks.
the deck is type1 legal, however most of the cards aren't played at all anymore in legacy/vintage, some are pure trash(Will, Sengir, Tradewind)
they have really stepped up the power of creatures recently, the biggest 2 being Dark Confidant(~$10) and Tarmogoyf($~35)
legacy/vintage decks are incredibly fast and very tuned, a 5mana 3/3 with no disruption just isn't good enough anymore
if you look at the Dreadstill deck that won the SCG 5k you'd see how much things have changed, the deck abuses 2 interactions that WoC didn't intend
stifle allows the deck to ignore phyrexian dreadnought's drawback giving a deck a 12/12trampler for 1U
sensei's diving top lets counterbalance counter 1cc spells(by top-swap or having something like brainstorm in the top3), and 2cc, 3cc ones with decent regularity
vintage is even more abusive lol
