Cards currently in mind:

Hollowborn Barghest
Ghastlord of Fugue
Szadek, Lord of Secrets
Hollowsage
Cinderhaze Wretch
Abyssal Specter
Drowner Initiate
Belltower Sphinx
Vedalken Entrancer
Insidious Bookworms
Memory Sluice (Ftw)
Pulling Teeth

Trying to incorporate some of the new Shadowmoor set cards into a black/blue discard. Comments/recommendations/deck list appreciated! If this seems to broad of a question then say so and i'll try to condense it.

I wouldn't play any of them in legacy.

I hate to admit it, but he's right. These cards are easily outclassed in Legacy; while Thoughtseize may be inaccessible due to price, Duress and Hymn to Tourach are not.

the only one i would consider would be the Ghastlord. Maybe a 2 of as a mid game turning point. Dram salvage would be a nice addition. here's a little brainstorm:

4 hypnotic specter
3 dimir cutpurse
3 shadowmage infiltrator
4 hymn to tourach
2 ghastlord of fugue
4 dream salvage
4 duress
3 cabal therapy
3 smother
3 diabolic edict
3 damnation
3 drain life

2 cabal coffers
1 urborg tomb of yawgmoth
4 polluted delta
4 Watery grave
1 leechridden swamp
6 swamps
1 islands

just threw it together right now. is it taking home a trophy? probs not. but it might piss a few people off.

X can be anything you want

if you have the money splash green for deeds (sb mostlikely depends on your meta whether you want em sb or main or none at all..) and goyf's..

as for your sideboard, I would add in extra anti creature, ostracide, leyline of the void if you have the money along with extirpate's or just coffin's purge and planar void if you are budget type...
