Mid March update

 First thing first- I've been trying to get back to the weekly legacy. Not saying I am very successful, but I am at least trying hard. And I don't care anymore about which deck I run. I am likely never going to attend a sanctioned event in the next year. I am not trying that hard. Its fun to just play.

Second point- I realized... and I might be wrong about this, but most of the weekly legacy crowd are fatherless dudes. After thinking about it- thats who is playing this format, guys with time and money to burn. Its not a knock, slight, or whatever, but thats the demographic at the shop on Wednesdays for me. 

What did I run this particular week? R/G Initiative stompy based off the latest hype train. Its a bit too all or nothing for me. (says the man who ditched S&S to jam this mess) I fell on my face at least twice because I drew just TOO much mana with no action. There were at least 4 players jamming out Initiative of some flavor.

Next week I might try out a naya stompy, or maybe a Shadow deck with a Reanimate. Need to figure out answers to lightning fast starts. Legacy has gotten WAY faster than I expect at the weekly.


On to fun things- latest finds/pickups. 

While I don't think I will ever play in a sanctioned tournament, I still like acquiring cards. Its a problem. I'm fine with it. Here is the run down of what I got and why:

 I actually traded for this. So winning. Still thinking hard about the various flavors of Painter, but I don't know how it survives the lightning fast meta now.

Buy Reserve List for long term hold.
Got these two Helms as long term RL holds

Got these P3K lands for free. Trade bait.

Got these P3K basics for free. Need any trades? :)











Lastly- Know anyone who needs some foil Undermountain Adventurers? I seemed to have invested well on January 4th... 8 extended art foil for $0.50 each, and 10 regular foils for $0.20 each.
