Dirt is the first successful Black-White-Green control deck developed for Legacy. The deck wins by using efficient discard such as Hymn to Tourach, land destruction (Sinkhole), and pinpoint (Swords to Plowshares) as well as mass permanent removal like Pernicious Deed while building card advantage over time. When it works, this eventually forces the opponent into a state of unrecoverable board position, and it ultimately wins with a lethal Eternal Dragon or similar big creature. While the deck may or may not be as good as its creator, Finn would have the world believe, it is undoubtedly difficult to fight. It's agile defense has answers for nearly every conceivable strategy, made even more verstile due to the inclusion of Living Wish. Still the deck is slightly less consistent than the very best Legacy has to offer, largely due to the strains on its mana base. Consequently it loses its edge in larger tournaments.
In the Summer of 2005, a spoof deck called Thunderbluff after the World of Warcraft locale aimed a lot of negative attention at Dirt, and the veracity of its results were brought into question. The practical joke and subsequent infighting seems to have taken the wind out of the sails of an otherwise gung-ho bunch of developers. Still, the fiasco seems to have sparked interest in the genre. Shortly after, very similar decks began popping up, in some cases by the very same people who debated its merits in the first place. The Truffle Shuffle, created by Jack Elgin, is one such example.
