Legacy week #19

Finally got back to the weekly at MtG First. I think I figured out a goal for the weekly- build up enough credit to get a Force of Will. Seems like a decent idea. They have an Alliances one listed for $80. Walking in to the store I had $40 in credit, used $10, earned $20. Seems like a slow slog, but keeps me motivated and away from playing silly decks every week.

Still running Eldrazi aggro. Chalice and creatures that turn sideways is a good thing. Haven't seen the regular Moon Stompy guy around, and lack of Back to Basics has rewarded my choices in life.
I am going to re-sleeve my SnS deck and might run that next week, but still enjoying Eldrazi and the problems they bring. We shall see my mood.


Round 1 vs Miracles  (Adam)

Game 1 won, just ran over him. Chalice on 1, lots of remembered triggers.

Game 2 won, opponent mulligan down to 5. Life was awesome. Loved the Cavern of Souls. Nothing but good things from that!


Round 2 vs Dark Maverick

Game 1 won with big furry creatures, Thought-Knot Seer is a great card.

Sb note- I nearly forgot to remove my Chalices as he was running them as well. Ha!

Game 2 lost due to mana flood. Had 4 lands in my opening had, some action which got removed, then promptly drew like 4 more lands. I scooped, but checked and it was another 4 lands on top before I saw a spell. Good googly moogly.

Game 3 won I pre-gamed 2 Leyline of the Void. He picked off some of my creatures, but got him low. He ended the game with 3 Dark Confident on the table, and I didn't attack with my Smasher just to see if they would kill him. Got him to 1, and I topped a second bigger furry creature which helped the mimic just crush face. I felt like a cat playing with a mouse a bit, but 3 Bobs. I mean come on, he was at like 6.


Round 3 vs b/u Ninjas

We were both 2-0, and asked if he wanted to split and play for fun. Nope, he wasn't having it.

Game 1, won just trashed him. Chalice on 1 with a backup.


I boarded in 4 Leyline of Sanctity. Never drew one in my game 2 or 3 opening 7. Ugh.

Game 2, lost can't remember why. It wasn't pretty to be honest. 

Game 3, lost due to screwy land. I mean, gesh. Deck, come on. Ok opening hand, but just got cleaned out and had about 4 turns of draw-go. It was horrible. At the very end I had a SLIGHT chance to win, but could not string together the right set of cards to present pressure.


Notes from the night:

• Saw a guy playing Enchantress, and my god it was crazy.
• Saw a guy playing green 12 post with at least 3 REAL Candelabras. REAL. 
• 6 drops seem a bit heavy in my deck, they were usually the first cards to get boarded out.
• Every week I hope I get paired with the Storm player while I am running Eldazi aggro, and every week I am disappointed. 
• Some speculation on Modern Horizons set, but that's it.
• Found out, thankfully before I got them, that Frantic Search is banned in Legacy. Kinda thought it was legal because it was just reprinted in Ultimate Masters.
