Is Nic Fit viable at the FNM level?
Legacy forum

So, I'm thinking of getting into Legacy, and I'm trying not to spend a fortune. After searching the web for awhile, I found out about a really off-the-wall control-midrange deck called Nic Fit. I think it looks like a lot of fun to play, and I have a lot of the pieces already. My only question is whether or not it can compete within the format. I know it's not tier one, and I'm not expecting to take it to an SCG Open, I just want to have some fun playing at FNM without feeling like I'm being steamrolled over and over again. Is Abzan Nic Fit viable for FNM play? For reference the local meta is heavy on Shardless BUG and Eldrazi and Taxes.
Thanks for your input!

Nic fit is basically adaptable to any environment and is at its best when you know what you're going to be getting into in a field such as fnm.
Get to know the basics of the deck, but then experiment on your own and adjust the deck to be better against the few decks that you know you're going to face.
Pro tip: your worst matchups are Miracles and Eldrazi.

Nic Fit has many flex spots. You can play some crazy fun one ofs. Have fun and jam the best answers into your best. The only thing you care about specifically is having at least

As DevoidMage stated, NicFit is very flexible and thus perfect for any local FNM Meta. Too much storm? Mainboard Gadock Teeg. Burn? Kitchen Finks is a great card. High tide? Heck, put in Ulamog. Whatever.
The best thing about the deck is that you can run it on a budget without Duals if you want. Of course, it's not as good, but two shocklands and rest basics can be enough to play the deck.
The great thing about is, that because of the mana acceleration you can play higher drops that work great against different matchups. For example, as DevoidMage said, Miracles is a bad matchup. We counter that by playing a few more planeswalkers. I'll link you my list at the end of the post. So far those walkers worked wonders for me, because you can just reassemble your board state after the terminus.
For Eldrazi, your biggest problem is Chalice on one because it stops you from ramping (Explorer+Cabal get turned off). Keep in mind that you can still sacrifice the explorer to Cabal if Cabel is in the graveyard - cable just get's countered, but you can play it.
The best card against Eldrazi would be Glissa, the Traitor. First strike-death touch stops the biggest reality smasher. Just watch out when they play Endbringer, it could get nasty.
I'm about to write a primer on the deck. It'll probably take some time to do it, but it should answer all your questions in the longrun.
Anyway, here's my list:

Wow! The positive response on this thread is awesome! I've decided: I'm going to pick up the pieces for Nic Fit this weekend! I'm really happy that I get to play Great Sable Stag in Legacy! Thanks so much to everyone for their input!
