I see no need to walk into a Bile Blight when you have that much of a presence on the field already. Also allows you to hold up Stoke and kill the inevitable Courser.

No need to cast it. Attack, he charms your first one. Just cast the second after. Force him to answer your threats during his turn.

The reanimator deck sucks. The G/B constellation deck and the Sidisi whip deck are the good ones and they have the best matchup spread by a lot. Worth noting, a friend of mine says the constellation deck beats sidisi straight up, but says the Sidisi deck has merits solely based on access to disdainful stroke in the board.

UB control is like, the best meta deck since it beats most of the top tier midrange decks and has winnable matchups vs. the heroic and jeskai decks, but it's very underpowered and just loses to randomness.

Mardu, Abzan, and Jeskai combo are all fine and UW heroic is pretty good.

Yeah GB Constellation feels like the best deck. I don't like jeskai at all but do like UW heroic.

The jeskai burn deck is perpetually poorly positioned, but the jeskai agro decks with jeskai ascendancy are actually very good since they can win from so many different board states.

I'm on Jeskai Heroic Combo and GBx currently. I'm not certain if Sidisi Whip is better or worse than GB Constellation. Waiting for input from Zem (I've been creeping on /r/spikes).

The whip deck has more velocity. You play sidisi on turn 3 or 4 and that can be your gameplan. When you snowball, you snowball hard and quickly.

The GB deck is much more grindy playing slow do nothings like commune and eidolon of car draw that let you grind out matchups. The deck doesn't really have a fast draw that can punish anybody, but it's much better anytime you need to go long since it has more raw card drawing power and actual card filtering.

The mana's also better, in the GB deck which is worth noting.

Well, it's not the best deck in the format (obviously, since it doesn't play Treasure Cruise), and if it ever becomes the best deck, something is getting banned. However, people build it because they honestly love playing that style of Magic, which is really the reason we spend money on hobbies in the first place.
It also transitions nicely into a top-tier vintage deck after changing only a few cards, allowing you to participate in 10-proxy tournaments (since it's pretty much impossible to run a local no-proxy tournament).

Oh that comment was just about building mud in general. I did not realize that you were planning on adding one of the sweetest cards in Magic to the deck. Go for it, bro.

I can't help but feel I want to play something with Sultai Charm. I think it's very, very, very well positioned right now. I'm looking into Sidisi Whip as an option.

All decks that feature a high curve with a manabase of ancient tomb and city of traitors (sol lands) can randomly lose to variance. You don't get to play brainstorm, force of will, treasure cruise. If you want a very competitive deck i would not recommend building mud.

However, i always avoid playing blue in legacy because i hate that the format is almost 100% blue decks... mud is one of the few decks that can somewhat compete with blue alongside elves , painter, death and taxes .... if you like the deck, just go for it.

There are 2 different types of mud , one with daretti and goblin welder that needs some mountains / great furnaces in the manabase, the other one with all colorless spells that gets to play cloudpost and glimmerpost so that it can consistently hardcast bombs when is not able to cheat them into play with forgemaster or metalworker. Both types now play 3/4 copies of cavern of souls because, like we were saying, you have to beat blue one way or another.
