Legacy week #21

That did not go as planned. At all.

I decided to dust off SnS because, well, I haven't really played it in a while. Felt like it was time to combo and launch large critters at people's face. Felt good to shuffle up.

Then it all fell apart before I even got the store. It was raining heavily and traffic sucked. I got to the store, registered, and for the second week in a row, they didn't have my credits correct from the previous week. No biggie, but I was planning to buy a Force of Will with whatever credit I had on hand. Figured if I went 2-1, it would be a great deal. If I went 0-x, then its still half off. (they had the Alliances version in the case for $80, masters for $100)

Getting the FoW thing out of the way now- there is speculation that Modern Horizons will include FoW which would mean Modern would get it. Thus, driving up the price much higher for the previously only 2 mainstream printings. (There is a Judge promo, and an Invocation, but they are at least $230)

The price has held steady at about $75-$80 until about last week.

I decided, time to pull the trigger no matter what. I won't be able to get to the weekly next week due to family events. So, this is likely my last chance to get it at this price until Horizons is fully spoiled.


Match 1 vs D&T

Game 1: I had a good opening hand, until he placed a second turn Karakas on the board and everything went to hell in a handbasket. I couldn't find what I needed to combat that stupid card. Oh well, on the positive side, he had no real idea what I was playing.

Game 2: Way too much land, seriously. He turn two Rest in Peace. Sure, ok. Fine. Means he has the wrong deck figured. The only positive, I was able to land a Sneak Attack, threw a Grieselbrand down, drew a bunch, Show and Tell'd with 2 Lotus Petal an Omniscience, then cast Intuition to grab 3 Emrakul. Whew.

Game 3: Got ported out of existence, and found WAY too much land. How does this happen?! I barely drew any cantrips. *sigh*


Match 2 vs Manaless Dredge

Just going to say this- SnS does NOT match up well. That is all. 0-2.



Turns out, I probably should have taken Eldrazi with me for the night. I would have felt a lot better about the Dredge matchup because of the SB with 4 Leyline of the Void. I am not entirely sure how he would have beat it.
