Its been a while

Why haven't I posted/played legacy in awhile?  Allow me to explain:

  • Vacations
  • Got sick
  • Friends out
  • Lack of motivation


I got some scratch off tickets. Amazon had draft packs, 3 packs, for $30 14 days ago. Mine got delivered Sunday Here is the result.


 Yes, I got lucky. As lucky as you can probably get in these things. Basically tripled my investment money wise. 

Next question is- who wants to trade for this?  Seriously, so far I haven't found anyone who wants it.



Legacy play review:

One afternoon with my buddy Andy for like almost 2 hours at a store. Then last night.

I went to Level Up MD for the weekly legacy. Lets review how I did with S&S.  (Decklist via MoxField)


Round 1 vs r/u Delver (Ryan F)

Got Delvered game 1... really didn't play too well. As he literally plays 50x more than me, and it showed by my poor countering/selection.

Game 2, I had a small window where I had A+B but no C, and his shields were completely down. Turns out, you really don't need much if S+S can't find anything. Oh well. 


At this point of the evening I thought the deck had completely pooped on me, and I would be going home early. 


Round 2 vs r/w yorion D&T Kevin(?)
You show up often enough and people have you pegged for certain decks. He thought I might have been on D&T because I sometimes show up with that, so he was slightly surprised by my turn 3 Show and Tell followed by Omniscience followed by a beatdown. He had no answers. 

Game 2- I had, what I am referring to, as the god draw for S&S. I knew his only answer would have to be a Solitude, but here we go. His turn was Plains Vial. I went:
City of Traitors -> Lotus Petal -> Show and Tell -> Omniscience -> Emrakul

Quickest damn rounds I have had in forever, and my deck NEVER lets me do that on a regular basis. So I was shocked at how well it went. 


Round 3 vs Lands (Rory)

Game 1- I don't exactly recall how it went, but I believe it involved a Griselbrand slowly beating face. He had dropped a Tabernacle a turn too early and I could pay for it each turn.

Game 2-  I managed the turn one Omniscience, but got me no where because I never found an creature answers. He had all his answers. That was disappointing.

Game 3- I got the Omniscience out early again, and found Griselbrand which allowed me to just steam roll card advantage including the game ender of back to back Emrakul


Things learned/discovered-

When I drew my Boseiju, Who Shelters All, I did not need it. Still thinking about it.
Heavily considering removing my Grafdigger Cages for another Surgical and a Meltdown.
