I'll post my updated list fairly soonish. BTW What do you all think of Magus maindeck? For an unknown meta that is.

Magus of the Moon is iffy in an unknown metagame, but if you know your metagame is particularly susceptible to it (3-4 colored decks, general lack of basics, small amounts of Red removal, etc.), then it can be devastating.

For an unknown meta at like a local store? I wouldn't run Magus main. You don't know if the meta is budgety with a lot of WW or Burn (and the like) or if it is full of top decks with lots of non-basics. Even if it is filled with some decks with expensive manabases you should still do decent pre-SB and you will always have access to him in the side. For an unknown meta at a large event, Magus could definitely be MD. A large event will attract a lot of people which means more expensive manabases which means Magus is better. I like your list. How did rancor work for you?
Any Tips for making this on a budget?[/quote]
If you really wanted to make a budget list it is certainly doable. You'd probably need more green though, since no one creature will make up for goyf.
Chain Lightning can be incinerate  . You don't need jitte, or you can use rancor  . You can try wild mongrel  or werebear  in place of mongrel, but they can only do so much.

Crusher has been awesome.
Sooo, I played against an aggro loam player and got DEMOLISHED. Wasn't even close. Ehh, what the hell do we do about that deck.

I find the combination of Devastating Dreams, Chalice of the Void, and big dudes very hard to beat with Goyf Sligh. There's not really much you can do maindeck. Well, Tin Street Hooligan would help a bit, I suppose. You can side in stuff like Tormod's Crypt, Relic of Progenitus, and Ground Seal against Aggro Loam.

I know this thread is kind of dead, but I'm looking to make a return to Legacy, running a budget version of this deck, since I have the Gofys and this looks like the best deck I could probably build. Here's the list: Lands: 4 x Arid Mesa  3 x Scalding Tarn  4 x Stomping Ground  2 x Sacred Foundry  1 x Temple Garden  6 x Mountain  Creatures: 4 x Figure of Destiny  4 x Goblin Guide  4 x Kird Ape  4 x Wild Nacatl  4 x Tarmogoyf  Spells: 4 x Lightning Bolt  4 x Chain Lightning  4 x Lightning Helix  4 x Magma Jet  2 x Umezawa's Jitte  2 x Fireblast  Sideboard is up in the air, I'll probably just grab a bunch of random hate cards for my first time there, then refine based on what I'm seeing.

that kinda looks more like a zoo list to me...
1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:
Show
It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.
How Kedi tests his decks: Spoiler:
Show
also, I've been playtesting this deck in my sleep today
that kinda freaked me out

Halloween is a conspiracy by crossdressers and furries.
 Thanks to Kipz for the sig. Make a contract with me to become a magical girl!

Only because I'm trying to make use of the fact I have some Plains in my deck. Helix could just as easily be Incinerate. That and Sligh and Zoo are very related deck types. My deck at it's core is R/g Sligh, with Green giving me Gofy, Nacatl, enabling Ape and giving me access to Enchantment hate. And then of course I have the 2 Jitte which I hear are good with creatures, and it enables my hoard of 1-drops to compete.
