Legacy week #16

After my "let down" of the free legacy event, I felt I wanted to play something fun. I also texted some legacy friends and asked them if I should play it, it was 3-0 vote of yet. So I busted out, "apple jacks." A loam deck which uses Titania, Protector of Argoth, to create an army of 5/3. I honestly had never played it before, and it SHOWED. Holy crap did it show.

I lost to a Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle deck.
I also lost to a dark Maverick deck. *sigh*

Ok ok ok... I learned my lesson. No fun decks allowed at my weekly. Time to move on. I think for next time, the choices will be: (I fully intend for friends to vote on which deck to choose again.)
Sneak and Show- still debating Omniscience vs Blood Moon main
Eldrazi stompy, NOT post.
DnT, is like tier 1.5. Not tier 2, and not 1. All depends on the pilot.

Maybe Grixis control, but I need to dig up about 5-7 cards of some sort to make it complete. I haven't even started the sideboard. Maybe I add that to the rotation next week. I do want to learn that side of my worst matchup.

Complete let down of the week- The free legacy event was 6 rounds. Not 5. I left after my 5th match at 3-2. Let me say why I was a bit, deflated.
If I had stayed, played out round 6, and won... I would have had the best tie breakers. Why? I lost to the top 2 decks. That annoys me.

Also annoying, I found out via the deck list publishing- the Infect deck, which hosed me game 2 of our match, was running ONE Karakas sideboard... and he PULLED IT. Good lord. I've swapped for 7-8 cards at times and never seen them. EVER. He pulls his 1 of for the win?! Talk about running hot.

Oh, on my Sneak and Show, I am now running a test copy of Intuition.  I dropped my 4th Emrakul for it. Makes total sense now. Much rather have a Griselbrand in play and draw my way into an Emrakul.
Intuition will likely be in the deck moving forward no matter if I am playing Blood Moon or Omniscience. I am still debating Boseiju main, even though I am not Cunning Wish version of the deck. There are enough counters floating around out there that it might make sense.

Lastly- my re-investment in to Legacy finally took an odd turn. For the first period of my re-entry, I had proxies. A lot of them. I just don't have Legacy money to invest in the required cards that I needed to make the decks I wanted. I may, or may not have, gotten multiple sets of power-9, and handed a few out to friends because I could. *cough*
For my SnS deck, I had 1 Flusterstorm, and wanted a second instead of 3 Spell Pierces. Until it was reprinted, the Commander version of the card was clocking in the $50-$80 range for a single copy. (classic supply vs demand issue) Now you can pick up a copy for $10 or so.
So I happily traded for my second copy, plopped it in the deck and went on my merry way. A couple days later, I pulled apart a RUG Delver deck I had, and found a THIRD copy of Flusterstorm.
*DOH!*

Its finally happened- I can't keep track of my inventory. Not a bad problem, just an interesting one.

Last note- why has the Modern Masters 2017 copy of Griselbrand gone from a $7-$8 card to a $15-$16 copy?! WHY?!
