Show and Tell is the most popular combo deck in Legacy, in no small part due to its compactness. The show plays its namesake card, Show and Tell, to drop in a hugely powerful threat - generally Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or Griselbrand. For backup, lists rely on Sneak Attack to drop in threats or Omniscience to put in off of Show and Tell, with the top lists often packing both. Because the deck requires only a small number of cards to win, it can devote the rest of its slots to cantrips like Ponder, Brainstorm, and Preordain, protection like Daze, Spell Pierce, Flusterstorm, and Force of Will, and other consistency cards like Burning Wish, Cunning Wish, or Intuition. "Sol" lands like Ancient Tomb and City of Traitors and Lotus Petal are used to accelerate, which can enable the deck to drop a Show and Tell as early as turn one.
