The Eldrazi dominated the Modern Pro Tour this past weekend, so let’s take a look at a time when it dominated Legacy – Arizona’s Tony Murata took down SCG San Diego a couple years back with 12Post! Check out his tournament report here.
As a Legacy enthusiast with an appreciation for the weird and wondrous decks of the format, I had no hesitation trying 12Post. Created by Jeremiah Rudolph (mtgthesource.com user Rock Lee), the 12Post deck plays as a Combo-Control deck, looking to keep itself alive long enough to make enough land drops and generate an overwhelming mana advantage late-game. By playing multiples of the namesake Cloudpost, it breaks the fundamental rule of lands adding only one mana each. In the later stages of the game, Eldrazi are simply hardcasted, and with the Eye of Ugin land being able to tutor for Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, victory can be attained without a possibility of being countered. No deck in Legacy threatens with so much inevitability.
