A Deck for the Qualifiers

I haven't played T1.5 ever since it became a big format and i need a deck for the qualifier. Does anyone have a good T1.5 list thats not complicated and can explain to me how the deck works(obviously a deck like goblins is pretty easy to see how it works)?

well just look at the past top 4 finishers from earlier tournaments, slivers look good.

I suggest either counterslivers, threshold (probably the 4c version), or gobbos. You can probably find a list for all of these on the source or the mana drain or in the deck archives here.

I'd like someone to explain a deck preferably combo.

If you want to play combo I suggest 2-land belcher or iggy pop. You should be able to find lists somewhere.

I am guessing he is talking about the qualifier for the legacy champs at gencon (where the champs are also at)

No mana Icky is great! If I was going to play Slivers, Counter Sliver is great as well. Also Disco Slivers is good and not what most players are going to look for.

Play Glittering Wish and all of the good stuff like

Crime/Punishment
Deed
And so on

For discard use

3-4 Hymm
3 Gerrard's Verdict (1 on the wish board)
3 Durres
2-3 Cabal Therapy

That should get you passed all of the control and combo decks. Then you need to sb vs aggro (gobos,uw meddling aggro, Sliver mirror, affinty, and bg 'Goyf-Vore aggro-control) in that order. I would say that STP needs to be main, Condemn, Deeds, and Punishment on the sb should get you though most aggro decks. I would also side one Ghostflame Sliver as anti Blood Knight and Silver Knight tech...

A 2/2 pro white First Strike guy would turn off a lot of guys in most Sliver decks (counter sliver or Disco sliver)

For reference, all the legacy players of m-l (or most of them so far) idle in #mtgthesource . There is a link in the topic that leads to the best legacy forum, in which you can find decklists and proper comments to improve the decks. I hope to meet you there soon, and join as many legacy minis as possible to make the format more popular, get more people playing and improve the m-l legacy level overall.

Greets!
