Mid June legacy update

Andy and Rob fighting the good fight

My schedule worked out such that I was able to head up to Titan Games on Tuesday night instead of my regular Wednesday at Level Up. Its a bit different as they go 4 rounds, and a winning record only gets payout. A tad different than I was used to. Wound up taking a close version of a G-Post deck that did well at 4 Seasons Spring in Bologna. (yes it is not listed, got it from the Discord. Felt better for fighting the field than on-line)

Round 1- Got Delvered. Specifically Stifled. That sucked hard. And god I just don't like R/U aggro that has game against everything all the time.
0-1

Round 2 vs 8 Cast
Took it down, but it was more like his deck didn't do anything and I had everything. Its what happens. I recall in two games I cast an uncontested Ulamog the Ceaseless Hunger.
1-1

Round 3 vs Jeskai control (Paul Lynch)
I've played against him with this before, and it did not go well, and it continued to go poorly. It was like my decisions generally didn't matter. Which sucks.
1-2 and drop.

After falling on my face too often to Delver and Jeskai control with G-post, I decided to consider new deck for Legacy Pit Open. While I would LOVE to play G-post, I don't think it is good enough for me to justify registering it. Unless some meta shifts where to occur, I still am not entirely sure what to play. I am somewhat interested in D&T, but not looking forward to shuffling 80 cards.
There is very much a chance things will be unsettled from Dominaria United.  In which case, I would totally bust out Sneak and Show. That deck THRIVES on change. 

In the mean time- gonna jam a g/u OmniTell deck (not entirely unclose to this winning deck) this week at LevelUp. I think I need to remove some cuteness in favor of filtering. (good bye Stifle and Endurance)

So glad I didn't spend time picking up a copy of Alloraurus Sheppard.  The price dropped by about half with the announcement that it was being re-printed in Double Masters 2022. Will pick up a copy soon I think. 

Also, whats with the Green Sun's Zenith reprint? Its banned in Modern, and almost exclusively played in Legacy. It wasn't screaming for a reprint.... weird.

Did I dump my Commander 2019 and 2020 sets at the right time? As the Dockside Extortionist got re-print at mythic, maybe. Lets take a quick review of my trade with Card Kingdom:

Pre re-print value: $403.00
Post re-print value: $409.50

So I actually lost money by dumping when I did, exactly a month ago.

However, lets compare what I got:

Pre-value (mid May): $379.02
Post-value: (mid June): $405.72

So, once again... I pulled the trigger at the right time because it would have cost more to get the same set of cards. Most notably, the City of Traitors went up by $30. No clue why.

I went and hung out with some friends last night. Jammed A BUNCH of games. When in the middle of it all I realized I had all 5 colors in mono decks.
D&T- white
Dragon Stompy- red
Black depths- Black
G-Post- Green
8-cast- Blue

Did NOT intend on doing that... but funny.

Compare and contrast- the proxy vs real Tabby.

Lastly- I sold the last of my sports cards I had sitting in a bin. Took most of the money generated and bought a bunch of the cards I wanted off my trade list. I still have several things to trade for- I am in no rush for them.
