Legacy Cloudpost Ramp deck
UPDATED MARCH/2022
Cloudpost Ramp is also known as 12-Post and Titan Post. The deck centers itself around the Locus-type lands (also referred to as Posts). It is a Ramp-style deck that can act as Combo and as Control.
Overview
This strategy aims to amplify the ramp effect produced by Cloudpost.
In order to do that, it creates multiples copies of Cloudpost with land-copying abilities. The cards that enable it are Thespian's Stage and Vesuva. That, along with the usage of the other Locus-type land, Glimmerpost, can increase the amount of mana produced and lead to some big explosive plays.
The deck is fairly resilient to Aggro decks for the array of lands present in the maindeck: Glacial Chasm, Glimmerpost and Blast Zone. Often it can protect itself from Graveyard-based strategies with Main board Bojuka Bog.
Its win conditions are many:
- infinite turns with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn + Karakas
- Dark Depths
- beatdown from big creatures (Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Primeval Titan, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger).
The consistency is due to cards like Elvish Reclaimer, Crop Rotation and Expedition Map as well as Eye of Ugin, Once Upon a Time and Green Sun's Zenith. It can protect itself from Wasteland with Ramunap Excavator.
The usage of Reserved List cards is optional (with many lists choosing to not run The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale) and this makes for a powerful competitive option for new budget-limited players who want to try the Legacy format.
