Legacy week #30

One last time at MTG First before running out to Titan for a smaller legacy event at Titan Games. Playing for fetch lands, but honestly- I don't think I will make top 8 to cash. I am hoping to just have a winning record.

I have confirmed my buddy is coming to the event, and is bringing the two cards I need to use- 2 Cavern of Souls. Thats all I need to use. I made the last adjustment to my SB, tossing out the Pithing Needle and buying a Smuggler's Copter. Why that trade? Why not a 3rd Spyglass? I felt I needed something more against the Delver decks. I needed a flyer of some sort, and my deck can get 1/1s alright enough. Between a Mimic, or Walking Ballista. Or even in a pinch, an Endless One. I kinda like the idea of having the Looter Scooter, but we shall see. Eldrazi wants to be pumping out multi-honed threats and getting pressure down while providing roadbumps like Chalice and Thorn.


My tune up night was a bad night. r/u Delver had all the answers, and the new g/w depths also just got there. All my roadbumps were a turn late, and their answers were just there. It happens.

Not gonna get in to the particulars of the bad night. Needed to get those loses out of my system I think. Good to know the deck can have bad lines.

While I love Counterspell, and I do, I like what it represents- disruption and some sort of stop sign. I think thats why I have enjoyed this build of Eldrazi stompy so far. It can really muck with the other players game plan between Chalice, Thorn, and some disruption in the form of Thought-Knot. It can usually push its creature beat down plan fairly well, provide different play patterns from the opponent, and has general game. There are some strategies that it can't beat like blood moon and back to basics. However, it can just give them complete headaches and have to mulligan aggressively to find them.
