Here's some background: A few months ago, my friend Soly suggested I play an all-misprint deck. I have an all-misprinted EDH, and I thought that I should build a Legacy deck for the upcoming SCG Madison. I have a LOT of misprints, since I've been collecting them for at least 8-10 years, and I have a lot of playable ones, especially blue ones, so I went with a blue-white control deck. Sdematt helped me design the deck, and I think he did a pretty good job. Remember, this had to be a 75-misprint deck, so that's why I went with Jace Beleren instead of Jace the Mindsculptor and that sort of thing. I went 5-3 with it, beating a lot of top decks. I had a TON of fun and I will definitely be playing a lot more Legacy in the future. Here's what I played:










If you can't see the card's misprinting, it's probably crimped. My misprinted EDH has no crimps in it because I thought that would be too easy, as I have over 6000 crimped cards, but I played some crimps in my Legacy deck because otherwise it would be impossible to field a playable deck.


The decklist:
UW Control

4 Force of Will--Miscut
4 Counterspell--Miscut Ice Age, Spanish Mercadian Masques, Miscut Tempest, blurry Mercadian Masques
4 Brainstorm--two differently shifted-text foil Mercadian Masques, miscut Ice Age, back-printed Mercadian Masques
1 Cryptic Command--full-art promo crimped AND miscut

4 Jace Beleren--miscut LO, miscut M11, miscut JvC, LO with two huge white bars
3 Elspeth, Knight Errant--miscut EvT

4 Swords to Plowshares--miscut 4th, miscut IA, miscut RV, blue-bordered Ice Age
3 Wrath of God--crimped Beta, miscut Revised, smeared 10th
2 Engineered Explosives--crimped foil Fifth Dawn
2 Crucible of Worlds--blotched 10th, blackened Fifth Dawn
1 Decree of Justice--crimped Scourge

2 Snapcaster Mage--one miscut, one ink-blotched
1 Vendilion Clique--twisted foil Morningtide

2 Flooded Strand--crimped Onslaught
3 Polluted Delta--miscut Chinese ON, miscut Portuguese, ON, miscut foil ON
1 Misty Rainforest--miscut
5 island--miscut French 4th, miscut Unhinged foil, miscut Portal 2, miscut 8th (matches the Plains), and blackened Alpha
2 Plains--miscut 8th (matches the Island) and miscut Unhinged foil
1 Karakas--miscut LG
4 Tundra--2 miscut RV, crimped Beta, crimped signed Beta
3 Wasteland--crimped Player Rewards, miscut Player rewards, crimped TP
3 Mishra's Factory--miscut AQ, crimped AQ, miscut 4th
1 Academy Ruins--miscut TS

--SIDEBOARD--

2 Circle of Protection: Red--miscut IA and crimped Beta
1 Pithing Needle--10th with massive line through it
1 Oblivion Ring--blackened LO
3 Tormod's Crypt--2 miscut Japanese CH, 1 miscut CH
1 Humility--crimped

1 Spell Pierce--blurry foil

Very nice. The brainstorm with the back printed on the front is very cool.

I actually saw it on someone's twitter feed while watching the coverage, pretty cool man. I knew it was you because they said "Ben Carp's all misprint/miscut legacy deck."

Also, I imagine that Jace 2.0 misprint would be a pretty penny.

Maybe that's why you went 5-3. Next time you can try to win the tournament instead

Ben,

Nice deck! How much do you think the back printed brainstorm is worth?

I mean, I could, but I had a lot more fun doing this, and I would rather have fun and show off than play a serious competitive deck and probably do about the same.

You may be underestimating yourself, if you can go 5-3 with a suboptimal deck, you can probably T8 with an optimal one. But of course, the point of the game is fun and if that's what you got then it was a good decision

yeah legacy is the "do whatever the hell you want" format and its more or less about having fun and playing with cards you love so this deck embodies that pretty well

favorite card is probably the tormod's crypt from chronicles showing a card from the left

Take your own advice. I don't seeing how he played has any relevance to this topic. Maybe its about the journey instead of the destination for once.
