Legacy week #14

Back at it!

I thought for about 5 minutes about sleeving up the red splash version of D&T to include the Goblin Cratermaker, but I really don't think the current meta is even that kind. While I do believe in Cratermaker, I just don't know how effective it will be for now. So- I took old trusty, Sneak & Tell. Muahahaha. No one else is running it, and it has been good vs most decks.

Round 1 vs Grixis?

I kinda felt bad for the guy as he is new to legacy. He didn't know what Sneak Attack did. *sigh* Took game 1 from a very large beat down. Took game 2 when he mulled to 5 and promptly got mana screwed. It happens.

Round 2 vs Pile

This is the same guy I lost to last week, and I lost again this week for completely different reasons. I took game 1 pretty quickly by protecting my large critter with a timely Spell Pierce. Game 2 was a different story. After early resource battles, His Assassin's Trophy took out my Sneak Attack and won the game. It also didn't help that he Surgical Extracted both my Show and Tell, then my Sneak Attack. Game 3 was weird for me, and I just could not find threats. Seriously. It wasn't like I battled early on, I just did not find 1 of my 8 things to beat down with.

Round 3 vs b/r/w Reanimator

I am still not sure why he had Scrublands in his deck, but whatever. He took game 1 even though it wasn't early threats that did me in. Game 2 I took by stopping his efforts with well timed Faerie Macabre. He did Pithing Needle my Arcane Artisan. Doh!
Game 3 was super weird. I mean super weird. I kept a very reactive hand, and he just never got enough stuff in the bin to make use of it. He wound up Reanimating my Faerie Macabre and started beating me up with it. However, I got an Arcane Artisan down and was basically drawing 2 a turn. I got my Emurakul token in to play finally and he conceded. Freaking weird game 3.

I asked him before we played if we just wanted to split to recoup the money, and he said to play it out. I wasn't going to argue because I knew he was on Reanimator. I felt I could combat it pretty good with counter magic and my sideboard had decent game against him.

The last playmat I will ever use. Thank you Mark Poole!
