@Enric : As allways when i look at your threads i enjoyed the videos very much, thank you !!
Nice photos btw !!!
Some interesting decklists , sadly the blogs are in spain....
I'am interested in the decklists and will wait for them....

[Arsenal]

Jace is underrated in Legacy.

[Rune]

Thanks for videos!

Looks like Merfolk without Standstill has a bad matchup vs that Landstill deck. :0

[Plague Sliver]

Awesome videos, as always.

Great photos as well - great to see so many players having fun with the Legacy format.

Here are the decklists (http://factoriademishra.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2336).

Tomorrow I'll post the finals.

Updated with the videos of the finals.

Spoiler:

- The first game is one of those in wich you play against a control deck and you have to play around massive removal like Pernicious Deed. I play my creatures but not all at the same time.

- I lose the other games because I can't deal with 2 Enginereed Plague, I don't run Krosan Grip.

- In the second i got mana screwed for a few turns. When I draw the lands it's too late because he has a lot of card advantage (Standstill, Pernicious).

- In the third game I lose due to my mulligan to 5 and the lack of Pyroblasts (one is countered) to destroy Jace.

- Despite of this, I make few mistakes like, in G2, tap manlands instead of playing my own spells and, in G3, trying to destroy a Jace with a Pyroblast in his Upkeep instead of my turn being exposed to Counterspell and Force of Will hardcasted. Finally a Hydroblast got rid of it but it's still a mistake.

I hope you've enjoyed the videos, bye!

A lot of plays seem suboptimal. Keeping standstill against gob looks strange, even more when you think that he entered plague and BEBs. Also I think he activates too fast his deeds. Especially against merfolk when Jace can filter the opponent draws as well as bearing with 2/2 strikes.

Just saw the first game, and I have to say that's been a long time since a saw a goblin player that good. My compliments sir.

I'm sorry sir, but I don't agree.

At some point he had 2 relics and 1 fanatic versus tarmogoyf. The right play was to play fanatic, activate it and then activate relic in order to have Lackey go through. The result of your turn was : getting lackey blocked and activate 2 relics to destroy goyf. Then play fanatic, which is kind of useless without relic in this MU.

Right after this turn. You opponent has just fetched +brainstorm with top in play. However you rishadan-tap him at upkeep giving him a "free" top spin. You should have waited the draw step to do this.

Ps : however I've seen some nice moves of Enric in other videos, especially in final, even if he finally lost.

[godryk]

And I think it's safe to assume that we don't always play our best, specially after 7 rounds + Top 8...

:tongue:

Awesome job as always Enric!

I completely agree with this. We all do suboptimal plays. I just pointed out that the play level wasn't as high as 3eowulf said. Anyway, it's always a pleasure to see these matches. Thanks for that.

I never thought about this move, is very interesting.

The best about videos is to comment the games together.

That's right. It's the best way to get better. The only problem is that we don't see the hands, and cards seen on tops/ponders, so that it's often difficult to make an idea on what's exactly the game state.

By the way, did you have access the opponent deck lists for your top8?

[Enric]

Here are the photos of the tournament (http://zasca-team.blogspot.com/2010/06/fotos-lcl3-junio.html) and here are the decklists (http://factoriademishra.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2336).

[Maveric78f]

I mean during the game. Did you know during your game 1 that your opponent was playing supreme blue (main decking 3 Firespout) and not Bant Aggro for instance?

[Enric]

Ah, yes, it's my teammate.

[cdr]

Giving decklists before T8 is also pretty much forbidden by the DCI without special circumstances.

[Tinefol]

Thanks for videos!

Looks like Merfolk without Standstill has a bad matchup vs that Landstill deck. :0

The merfolk guy played really horribly. He should've won game2 with a correct play.

[ASSASSIN]

I think also the gob player (enric ?) make a lot of missplay :

- play lackey before vial against a control.

- play stinsgourger for bounce a ringleader tapped whe have a cumulative upkeep and say to your opponent "if you want play firespout it is the right time".

- side-in needle against supreme blue

- shearch a goblin warchief with no reason in a matron. Sure you still have win but I don't understand why this ?

And I really take your list for a bad example of goblin vial. It looks like you splash black only for have a reason for play all your fetchs. Just run your 4 warren weirding, it is one of the best cards of the deck. stinsgourger is essential but only in a one-off, it is a situational card. I don't like relic MD, it is not a goblin and don't help so much against tarmogoyf. Not like warren weirding can do it. I just wan them when my opponent have 2 tarmogoyf. And even in this case it is regullary nit sufficient
pyroblast/REB is not more a good goblin SB card.


- I lose the other games because I can't deal with 2 Enginereed Plague, I don't run Krosan Grip.
Thanks god you don't play another non-gob cards. Against plague thorn for amethyst for disturbing his mana base and help to never plague touch the table and goblin chieftain+wort, boggart auntie for pass over it it is good.

Assassin, playing a lot gob since 2004. Sorry for my English.

When Stingscourger enters the battlefield, return target creature an opponent controls to its owner's hand.

Particulary powerfull when your opponent steal one of your ringleader with a mind harness, isn't it ? Thanks for have watching the video before talking. You can be pride of your pseudo :).

It's a marvellous play as you can replay your leader and get again a bunch of gobs, so why not? I don't see the missplay here...

I don't think the other point you mention are big missplay. Sometime Lackey is better 1st turn against control.

Needle can shut of some disturbing Supreme blue engine...

Warchief is not a bad card to fetch with matron, you say "no reason" but if he took it there was a reason...

I agree that Relic maindeck is weird and (for me) not optimal at all, but why not if you expect a lot of *****, ichorid, reanimator, loam,...

Here's my thougths.

PS: i luv your signature: "Assassin, playing a lot gob since 2004" :cool:

I've found Relic very strong, and i've choosed black because of Perish.

I'm agree with the Pithing, but I only sided 1.

I don't remember the reason why I searched Warchief, but maybe I had a lot of Ringleaders/Matron/Siege Gang in hand.

The lackey theme...it's difficult, but Lackey in turn 2 is very different from the turn 1. And, in fact, I didn't know my oponent's deck, I didn't know if he had tarmogoyf. It was a different landstill from the rest i've ever seen ever, despite this deck (4 Jace UBG Landstill) is now very popular.

Srry for my english ^^
