This is how you lose friends. (Stasis)
Yeah. I'm a jerk.
My friends, for now, and I decided to make legacy decks to compete in local tournaments.
So I went Stasis. Lol
So upset Gush is banned but oh well.
I was running Howling Mine + Ebony Owl Netsuke as the win combo, but I think I'm going to go for slow win.
Any suggestions are welcome. Please keep in mind that some obvious cards are missing, like Force of Will as I cant afford them at the moment. So try to keep this semi-budget friendly.
I would add green and Garruk Wildspeaker . I's a win con and does everything your lands could do. Also it would give you access to some good stuff.
For now i would like to keep it Mono blue, but I do like the idea of splashing some green in there.
Maybe after more play testing ill decide.
Ha. Looks like were both trying to be legacy jerks, but I am trying to raise their CMC, deck:lock-em-down-comment-1, and you have this cool stasis thing going on. You could throw in a few High Tide to get some extra mana out of those lands before you have to pull them out, or maybe even a Piracy to use their lands.
@Inforussle
Piracy looks like SO much fun! The look on thier faces when I spend there mana to play stasis. lawl.
I read the description of your deck, and I know how you feel. I made my stasis deck to be a jerk, and I'll tell you what, I'm loving being a jerk! This has to be one of my favorite decks right now.
What about Sword of Feast and Famine so you can untap lands, might need to add a couple more creatures if you go that route.
After some play testing I am considering going U/G for this. So Sword of Feast and Famine would be a awesome addition at that point.
How do you win?
Its a slow, painful, and enjoyable mill....
once the stasis is in you sit and laugh.
Stasis + Frozen AEther + Chronatog = lol
This deck is not meant to win fast, its meant to sit and enjoy itself.
haha...nice
Yuck. That's not nice. :P
This is the most epic Trolling deck I've ever seen. Good job, dude :D
Thanks. Among my friends I'm known for making annoying decks. This is my favorite deck to whip out. They see the sleeves and yell at me. lol
COOL DECK +1
Time to invest in more sleeves then.
Boo this man. +1
Big ups on using Forsaken City to make your opponent want to fire mind lasers at you.
i dont QUITE know the usability, but u might wanna try this out if u have these..
remove 2x Chronatog for 2xTezzeret the Seeker
remove 4x Lotus Petal for 2x Sky Diamond
remove 4x Island for 4x Seat of the Synod
most likely tezzeret can untap those and get u a free pay the stasis next turn, plus w/ the -5 is the killer.. if u ever need one.
just occurred me man, anyways, statis is nice =D Gj so far.. i wanna c this playing.
Didn't realize I didn't have my Frozen AEther 's in there.
Played Emperor last night with this deck. After about 30min the other emperor conceded. I wasn't even emperor on my side.
Loving this deck moar and moar.
I would like to propose a challenge: Link your craziest version of stasis you can make. I want to see what kind of ideas people are brewing up.
+1 for the "I think I'm going to go for slow win" and how infuriating this deck would be to play against.
Tamiyo, the Moon Sage looks pretty fantastic in here.
How do you untap Chronoatog?
Don't swing with him. lol Chronatog is there to make me "skip" having to pay for stasis or draw a card. If my opponent is on lock down, Chronatog just makes my job easier. His ability costs me a turn, but doesn't say I HAVE to swing, so he stays untapped.
On kinda the same note... Say I DO swing with Chronatog , and he's now tapped and not un-tapping due to stasis, is his ability still usable? I assume so but double checking.
Yes, his ability is still usable even if he is tapped, so you could take a chunk out of them for shits and giggles
The budget is why I went with this for my legacy deck.
And it ended up being so much fun too!
Reliquary Tower would be good for the cards in hand effect
maybe splash red for Firestorm
my friend runs Vedalken Mastermind to return stasis back to his hand right before his untap step

Am I late to the stasis party?
I like to pull this one out as a evening finisher in multiplayer. Sooo much fun to end the night with.
I do the same thing, but now I have to re-sleeve it everytime cause they learn what sleeves it's in and won't let me play it. lol
As to Vedalken Mastermind , that's what the Chain of Vapor 's are for.
And I love the Firestorm idea. Might have to work that in some time.
this looks so fun, I love running aggro decks but this looks like it'd be a refreshing change of pace. I'm not usually in to playing slower decks but this is...irresistible, I really want to build this IRL +1
Best thing about this deck is that it's so cheap. so it's easy to build even if you just want to try it.
Beware though, your friends will only let you play it once.
I play this at FNM in between rounds against peoples standard deck and it has no problem winning.
Tamiyo, the Moon Sage does look like it'd be crazy in this deck. You'd get massive draw power and be able to consistently return stasis to your hand if need be, or any card for that matter if they happen to be slick and are able destroy something.
Oh joy!
What a fun little deck to play! I have a friend with a similar deck, but out of fanciness, his deck has 250 cards in it, in hopes that he'd win via Battle of Wits .
It has 4x stasis, Propaganda and Flood . It's both never wins, but always makes a quick 60-card game into an EDH-length game.
What about Venser's journal instead of spellbook I also had some Ideas but don't know if they are relevant.psycosis crawler for one let me know and I will tell you the others. not sure if I am missing the point but if you have cards in your hand why not have phycosis block anything that is thrown and maybe hit with him once or twice+1
i have a stasis deck too check it out if you feel like deck:pacifist-stacisist.Also love your deck, fun combo with Chronatog think i maybe need to get me some, altough i gotta find my Kismet their laying around here somewhere. im using Elspeth, Knight-Errant as a win condition tough. tell me what you think
what about Reliquary Tower ? in case you don't draw spellbook.
Derp didn't realize that was already suggested. what about Jace, Memory Adept ? Draw cards and mill them a little faster if you need to. What would you take out for 2x of him?
He works, but I play the deck around playing Stasis and then playing spells to lock down. I like to keep it simple, and adding other cards to get to win combos seems excessive to me. the deck works flawlessly as I have it, after playtesting a lot of course.
But I do love the suggestions, keep them coming.
i don't know if this will be to expensive, although, Force of Will is the biggest BEEEEP when it comes to counterspells.
Running about $70 right now, so I intentionally left them out; otherwise, yes, they would be in here. lol
Breezybeard218! Congrats for this deck, another wincon very efective and budget ;) would be Black Vise , same effect as the rack but created for Statis LOL!
Sorry my fault Black Vise is banned :(
I know, would have loved to put in Black Vise , but it has to stay out and hang out with Gush i guess. They can be banned together. lol
For a Vintage version of this deck, where Black Vise and Gush are not banned, what cards would you take out to put those in?
Probably Frozen AEther and Chronatog . They are in there for a lock to speed up the win, but they're not necessary.
For some extra friend-losing antics, you should add Winter Orb and Trinisphere .
I love using Capsize with the buyback cost so that they no longer have cards on the board as well... totally unnecessary but fun (and you'll eventually have the lands to pay for this 6-mana craziness)
Never posted on here before, but had to comment on Stasis , one of my fave decks ever, so set up a profile just for you! First, piedok is absolutely right. I ran Stasis for a while and Vedalken Mastermind is the nuts. My kill card was Sigil of the Empty Throne . A 4/4 Angel every turn just for re-playing Stasis is no joke. Also, Muddle the Mixture tutors for both Stasis and Vedalken Mastermind . I understand wanting to stay all blue, but I found white was worth the compromise on mana as I had access to Enlightened Tutor to find Sigil of the Empty Throne , Frozen AEther , Stasis and the one-of Oblivion Ring . You probably already know this, but Vedalken Mastermind + Oblivion Ring = NO FRIENDS AT ALL! As for Force of Will , I'm missing those aswell, but Cryptic Command has sooo much synergy in here its as if it was made for it. Those arn't cheap either tho...
Sorry, forget Vedalken Mastermind + Oblivion Ring , Vedalken Mastermind + Reality Acid is far better, and blows up lands! As for adding green like Crivaro suggests, how 'bout Urban Burgeoning ?
Dude.... Umbral Mantle all the things. Problem solved.
Oh and I found it easier to win with Black Vise instead of Chain of Vapor for faster games. But it depends on how you want to play.
