Strategy

The BG deck in Legacy combines both black and green colors to create a powerful and versatile deck. The strategy of the deck focuses on controlling the board through removal spells like Cast Down, Defile, and Drown in Sorrow, while also utilizing hand disruption with cards like Duress and Thoughtseize. Additionally, the deck has strong reanimation options with Reanimate and graveyard hate with cards like Relic of Progenitus. One of the strengths of the BG deck is its flexibility and ability to adapt to different matchups. It has a good balance of creature removal, hand disruption, and graveyard synergies, allowing it to deal with a wide range of threats. However, one of the weaknesses of the deck is its vulnerability to aggressive strategies, as it may struggle against fast-paced decks that can overwhelm it before it can establish its control. Additionally, the deck can sometimes have issues with card advantage if it cannot efficiently refill its hand or graveyard. Overall, the BG deck in Legacy is a solid midrange deck with a focus on disruption and control. It can be a strong choice in the right metagame, but may require careful piloting to navigate its weaknesses and exploit its strengths effectively.
