Legacy week #24

I missed last week due to kids/family obligations. It happens. I'm lucky to get out as often as I can. Heck, next week isn't great. I'd say 60/40 in favor of me not being able to go.

I've noticed an uptick in DeckBox people saying they only want 20% trade in their favor. They won't even consider a deal unless that is true. What the heck people?! Why are you running your trades like a store now? This is usually player to player, direct trading. Not some bulk buy list sort of thing. Whats the point of the site if everyone is scheming off others. I am really annoyed with the people abusing that right now. Gah.


I honestly didn't know what to play at legacy. I was considering the following:
  • Eldrazi stompy
  • Sneak and Show
  • Death and Taxes
Part of me wanted to take all 3 to the store and see who was there before picking the deck to play. Why? Cause I could. lol.

I am slowly putting together a w/u Stoneblade variant deck. I don't have the True-Names yet, but at $10 a pop, shouldn't be too hard to get them. (literally just ordered 1, 3 more to go!) I like the nature of this deck. I could actually put it together without the Tundras I think. Would be a shame, but the Back-to-Basics re-printing really helped out there.



I think the wheels are starting to fallen off my Eldazi deck. It gets RIGHT to the edge of winning, and so often it is a half turn too slow. Last night was no different. I went 1-2 in both of the games I play. (no point in sticking around for round 3 if I can't recoup cost of entry)
Need to change it up, likely back to SnS... might even show DnT.

Cool note of the night, I saw a guy cast Grip of Phyresis. Erh, mer, gerd. Great sideboard choice currently with the metric ton of equipment being thrown around between DnT, Stoneblade, and generally all the u/w builds out there. Even if it is just to grab a Jitte and let the germ die, to remove it from the opponent.


Not going to post the results but I will say I lost to TeS and R/U Delver. I could have had both matches, but the cookie crumbled the other way. That's the life of Eldrazi Stompy.
