Based on the recent Legacy tournament data (last 60 days), here's my analysis of your local meta:

Recommended Deck: Death & Taxes (D&T)

Why D&T is well-positioned:

Favorable Matchups in Your Meta:
• vs Dimir Tempo (most common): 54.9% winrate
• vs Cephalid Breakfast: 75.0% winrate (crushing)
• Even vs Doomsday: 50.0% winrate
• Strong prison elements punish greedy manabases and combo decks

Current Performance:
• 55.34% overall winrate in competitive Legacy
• 2.74% meta presence (93 entries across 41 tournaments)
• Solid positioning against fair blue decks that dominate the format

Why it beats your meta:
Your local meta is heavily tempo/combo based (Dimir Tempo, Infect, Cephalid Breakfast, Sultai Tempo). D&T excels here because:

  • Thalia, Guardian of Thraben taxes combo and tempo plays
  • Sanctum Prelate can name critical CMC numbers vs combo
  • Wasteland punishes greedy manabases (Cloudpost, multi-color decks)
  • Rishadan Port locks out tempo/control
  • Solitude handles creature threats efficiently

Weak Points to Note:
• vs Cloudpost: 31.25% winrate (your meta has this)
• vs Show and Tell: 43.24% winrate (unfavorable)

Alternative: Oops! All Spells - If you want to race the combo decks, this has 53.49% winrate format-wide and goes under most of the interaction in your meta.
