2006 Legacy All Star Team (Voting Thread)

[Nightmare]

Over on TMD they have an annual Vintage All-Star team vote. Here's this year's. (http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=31186.0)

1) Is it even possible to do this with Legacy? Turns out, yes. I had a surprisingly easy time selecting 10 individuals.

2) If yes, who would be your picks (try to keep it around top 10)?

My picks, in no particular order:

- Mike Herbig (Herbig)
- Chris Coppola (Machinus)
- Dan Spero (Bardo)
- Jeff Folinus (Getakkorel)
- Adam Barnello (Mr. Nightmare)
- Dave Feinstein (dxfiler)
- Mike Bomholt (bobholmm)
- Kevin Binswanger (Anusien)
- Dave Price (Quicksilver)
- Jesse Hatfield (Mad Zur)
- Dave Gearhart (Deep6er)

My picks are on the backs of strong performances in events throughout the year, from the SCG in VA, to the D4D in Syracuse, to TML in Connecticut, and so on. I accept the fact that all of these people are from the US, and most from the East Coast, but hey, it's my list, and if you don't like it, vote.

I'll leave this thread open for a week, and then we can see the results. GO!

[Machinus]

Doesn't an all star team mean people you would pick to play?

Sexy_Rector
Mad Zur
Deep6er
Herbig
Machinus

[Nightmare]

Gearhart and Darland should be in top 10.
Then Vote.

[Citrus-God]

Here are my picks...

Top 10

1. Wastedlife
2. Herbig
3. Machinus
4. Mad Zur
5. AnwarA101
6. Lukeatron (wtf is his name?)
7. JZ23
8. Diablos
9. Josh.. He plays Solidarity, I dont remember his username...
10. Anti~American4621


I included about 4 people from Minnesota. 2/5 of the list are players who play Storm decks, and they are highly skilled. I but Wastedlife on top because I'm highly confident that he will win a major event, and the fact I know he is determined and dedicated enough to do andything, and everything. Go Cuse'!

Mad Zur and Anwar are cool, and they seem like good people. Mad Zur is the biggest advocate of Thresh I have ever met, and Anwar just knows the format well. Machinus is just a good player I would trust for advice.

Diablos is a crazy deckbuilder, and he proved that ATS was a good deck, he can prove his playskill.

As for team MN, Luke is a great aggro player. I can trust his decisions for card choices, but his deck choice and playskill has proven to me that I can trust him pretty much entirely. Jeremy is a good player I know and rely on. His also my supplier. Josh is great, and a good player. A Good guy too. As for me, I'm just getting better at the game, and I treat it a lot like a crappy version of Poker.

[Anusien]

It's tough coming up up with a Top 10, I haven't seen enough of you play. So I'm going to cop out and talk about some people that should and shouldn't be on it.

Me: I think the only way you could get me onto that sort of team is if you had one of the Froggers or someone make me play a good deck. My main problem isn't that I'm a bad player, but I choose bad decks in an attempt to get an edge on the field.

I'm hesitant about putting a lot of the Vintage players on it. Most of the ones that I'd want to put on, like Dave Feinstein or someone like that, don't seem to spend enough time on the format. For example, I'd only put Kowal on the team with the same stipulation as me. Jacob Orlove, by contrast, already knows what the right metagame call is.

I think there are a few obvious choices. Chris Coppola (Machinus) probably has put up the most consistent numbers of anyone, especially recently. Gearheart is ahead of him on winnings, but I think Chris's median finish is much better. Both Hatfields seem to be incredibly solid players who consistently put numbers up. Herbig obviously, and despite whatever personal hate you throw at him, I think it's clear Gearheart deserves to be on (not Gearhert or Glearhart despite what my keyboard things).
I'd put Sexy_Rector on there, both because he has an incredibly savage collection, but also because he's a solid player and something of a lucksack. That is if someone can sit down and force him to test and play the same deck.
I'd put Mike Bomholt on there for raw power. He's probably still one of the if not the best Iggy players in the world, and someone I'd want on my team.
I'd probably put Dan Spero (Bardo) on there, both because it would finally get him to the East Coast (can we get Zilla an exception for this too?) and because he playtests all the freaking time. Seriously, he gets a snow day, and so he's up at 9am testing instead of sleeping.
I might want to put Zilla on the list, but I don't know if he's done anything recently. Plus he'd decline, because he wouldn't want it known he was coming, so he can surprise attack (2x modifier!) Jack Elgin.
I don't know if I'd want Calosso playing, but he could be the team good luck charm.

Edit: good point. I'd be interested to see if after a few weeks of real life intensive playtesting, whether Hanni can be consistent enough to make it. If he stops making stupid mistakes based on not doing paper testing, he'd be a real asset to the team.

If I have to, top 10 (and I'm not voting for myself because that's tacky):
Dan Spero (Bardo)
Chris Coppola (Machinus)
David Gearheart (Deep6er)
Mike Herbig (Herbig)
Hanni Alnimer (Hanni)
Jesse Hatfield (Obfuscate Freely)
Alix Hatfield (Mad Zur)
Mike Bomholt (bonholmm)
Bryan Ramsaroop (Evil Roopey)
Shaheen Sorani

People on the watchlist
Nick Trudeau
Parcher
Ben Kowal
Dave Feinstein
James Tang
Anwar Ahmed
Eric Darland

More interesting I think would be to put together two 2HG or 3v3 teams.

I think there might be a little problem with this one. Everybody will inevitably vote for themselves thus making it an exercise in futility.

On a different note, I vote for me. A lot. Seriously, where in the hell am I on your list, jerk? :)


EDIT: Awesome to see that fixed. I was going to mention about all the shit that I had won. Y'know like 60 Duals, 1200 Dollars, a Mox. Y'know, probably more than anyone who has played "Legacy" (not 1.5). Not to mention the random store credit that I win from the frog occasionally.


EDIT2: In the interest of having my vote count, I'll put up a top Ten so that it looks like I care. In very particular order:

1. Deep6er
2. Ewokslayer
3. Machinus
4. Spatula of the Ages
5. ObfuscateFreely
6. Overlord95
7. Legacyplayer0
8. jrp
9. Krieger
10. Now, just so everyone knows, this retarded dipshit 'bought' my vote. So, unfortunately, number ten is Calosso.

On another note, I hate Jesse Hatfield and Herbig (great a guy though he is) and thus didn't vote for them. Also Jack Elgin sucks. His name is too long also. Not to mention that Calosso stole his vote. Lolz.

I changed my vote due to me forgetting you won stuff this year, and due to Jack getting the banhammer.

Holy shit!! That is the most awesome errata ever to occur!!

I agree that this kind of thing is basically a popularity contest. Unless you're going to qualify tournaments and give people Legacy pro points, there's nothing substantial about it.

Quoted for Truth...

The Mana Drain can do this because Vintage has been around forever. Until Legacy has made a bigger splash I wouldn't know a Herbig from a Gustoh.

As far as well skilled players from around my way (Minnesota) Here's a list in no particular order...

Jeremy Zwirn
Joe Kaufman
Josh Wesley
Jesse River
Adam Sauver
Pat Mcgregor

LT...If you pay attention to the larger events, and who consistently does well in them, plus posts insightful things on decks here, at TMD, SCG, etc, you could get an idea. It's no more difficult for us to decide than TMD, especially since philly was last year.

[Machinus]

I like to know about good players, deckbuilders, and writers for my own edification, because that helps me understand the format. I do think it can be nice to recognize others for their work, but I don't want Legacy to have the same kind of exclusion and egoism that exists in Vintage. This kind of exercise leads directly to that, because it encourages the pursuit of attention rather than tournamant success.

Success in Legacy comes from intelligent deckbuilding and practice.

QFT. Obviously there are exceptional Magic players, writers, and deckbuilders, but ultimately, a tournement's success, an article's insights, and a deck's design should be weighted on their own merits.

I would also like to add that Gabriel White is also a good player...

@Mr. Nightmare: Give us Minnesotans sometime, as we have very, very good players. Pat McGregor Top8ed one big event and Jesse Rivers is so fucking good at Vintage. Jeremy Zwirn is crazy good at the game. Joe Kaufman is like the best Aggro player I have ever seen. Josh Wesley is a good player.

Josh Wesley is a good player.I'm certainly not saying there arent excellent players across the globe. Keep in mind, however, that generally people who perform well in large events get recognition, and that we're discussing this year only. If those names come up throughout the next year, they could very well make my list about 12 months from now.

Roland Chang
Herbig
Chris Coppola
Nick Trudeau
Dave Gearheart
Whatever the fuck Callosos real name is. While his play may be poor, his results speak loudly.
Both Hatfields
Jack Elgin. While he might be the Pete Rose of this list, his contributions to the format demand he make this list.

[Lego]

I vote for Gearhart ten times. And Herbig negative ten times.

If I had to really compile a list, it'd be something like this:

Herbig
Gearhart
Bardo
Anusien
Nightmare
Machinus
Jesse Hatfield
Alix Hatfield
Anwar
Jack Elgin (had to do it, sorry)

I noticed that Nightmare thinks Jesse Hatfield is Mad Zur, while Anusien thinks Mad Zur is Alix, and Jesse is Ob Freely. Can we get a ruling here? All I know is Ob has a quote from me in his sig, which makes him inherently cooler.

And Ben Kowal? He's a good friend and all, but did he finish anything anywhere? I saw him scrub out a couple times...

You ever notice it's always the brown people who get 9th place? What an interesting "coincidence".[/conspiracyofracistWizards]


Shaheen's a cool player, and I admire his deckbuilding style, but he's done little to develop anything for Legacy. Based on actual Legacy results, I'd have to say that I'd pick:


Jesse Hatfield
Mike Herbig
Chris Coppola (despite his raging hate-on for me)
Brian Diefendorf- A lot of top 8's last year. I guess he doesn't get attention for failing to finish in the top 2.
Zohar Bhagat- Did very well both at the Duel for Duals and at Worlds.
Eric Darland is apparently able to top 8 with anything. Eric Darland smote the ground with his surfboard and out sprung Richard Garfield with a pile of proxies and a sharpie, and thus the game of Magic was born.
Anwar Ahmed- A lot of 9th place finishes. Yup.
Phil Stolze- Someday he'll actually win with that thing.
Calosso Fuentes

That's all I can think of. Believe me, I wanted to put myself more than anyone else, but I can't really justify the handful of almosts I got as amounting to the same thing. I could almost pull it off on the back of deck design, but a) Clearly anyone attempting to alleviate this format of it's stagnancy with new decklists over the past year failed, and b) No one, when discussing basketball, puts a really good theorist on their dream team, so I don't see why we should with Magic.

I wanted to put more San Diego and German players on there, but I really don't know who's who there. They don't talk about themselves enough. I was impressed that Rodrigo Gonzalez beat me. That's supposed to be like, impossible.

You wanted to vote me, while I've attended to only one tournament, made the worst playmistake ever there, which costed me not only the game, but also the rest of the tournament? I dropped that tournament 1-2, but it was a hell of a tourney.

We are talking about a hall of fame here, not a hall of shame.

But I do have to vote for Lukas though. We europeans must stand out for each other (and he's a good player too).

Why would I vote for you? You guys have not performed well in any legacy tournaments.

[nickvo$]

This is Nick Trudeau, seeing as you guys don't know my handle. In regards to this All-Star voting, I would imagine the only players that should be included should be those who had several quality finishes in prominent tournaments this year. There are many quality players who represent this format well, and if someone wants to start a thread to list the best players in the format that might be a good idea, too. Remember that the best players in sports don't always make their All-Star teams, just the ones performing the most noticeably.

nick

[kabal]

This is Nick Trudeau

I'd vote for you. Considering the last two SCG tourney you played 8th & 9th and top 8'ing @ Legacy Champs '06 playing Landstill. A deck by many considered dead and unable to perform well.

Anyone that just plays Goblins and happens to get a top 8 spot isn't what I call a spectacular player.

[xsockmonkeyx]

Best Performance - Machinus - the 4 Tinkerer solution.

Player of the Year - Calosso - D4Ds, other lucksackery

Best Deck Builder - Roopey - Miracle-Gro, EBA, others.

Rookie of the Year - Hanni, Hannifish, 10th place at D4D

Best Rogue Deck - Terrageddon - the Dutch Connection

Best Deck Report - dxfiler - Apeshit

Best Article - Bardo - UGW Threshold

Best Signature - Mr. Nightmare, Vacon quote.

[Zilla]

Plus he'd decline, because he wouldn't want it known he was coming, so he can surprise attack (2x modifier!) Jack Elgin.

Since he's not getting enough love, I'm gonna have to vote for Jack Elgin. It seems he's the only person in the format who can actually create NEW control deck that are actually decent. Without him, all of the control we would ever see would be Mono-Blue and Landstill, with the occasional Loam.

[kabal]

I'd have to vote for him as well. Even no he seems like a total ass, without him this format wouldn't have much innovation. Most people just play the popular or Tier 1 decks, others attempt to create a variant. Jack goes above and beyond to create some interesting (yet terrible j/k) decks. Too bad he is banned from playing competitive magic right now, we have seen a decline in new decks from him. I'm guessing this is the reason why.

There's kind of schism in how this thread is playing out. Some are interpreting this as "who's who in Legacy." Others, like myself, are trying to stay clear of that minefield and are just focusing on actual tournament results (GenCon, the SCG events, etc.)

Thinking of this in terms of "only tournaments matter" pretty much exlude IBA and people like me.

[ShaheenSoorani]

I did vote for myself 10 times, but I just realized that Tom Smart invented Goblins in legacy, so I have changed my votes (all ten) for Tom Smart, inventor of Smart Goblins, top 4er of THE legacy GP, and master wizard of wielding spells that inately have little to no skill.

Umm...are you kidding me? I have revolutionized legacy. The all mighty gobs lose to what you may ask? Tsabos decree, yea....six mana instants. When I have a little more free time I'm going to bomb lists all over the source until they ban me.

So hypothetically I win the next legacy GP, can I then join the ranks of legacy masters? And if so, where do I lie in relation to say a Tom Smart who has also proved his vast skill in wizadry. I do actually have a great idea for a legacy control deck that doesn't have decree of justice in it, yep. I'll post it in a fitting forum in a day or so, when I work the kinks out.

Yup, plus I am sure some VA players would have sex change operations just to carry your love child.

And if so, where do I lie in relation to say a Tom Smart who has also proved his vast skill in wizadry.
Well lets see, Tom Smart invented "Smart Goblins" so that is a tough hurdle. You should name your decks Soorani _____ and then you are the clearly better Legacy Guru.

I do actually have a great idea for a legacy control deck that doesn't have decree of justice in it, yep. I'll post it in a fitting forum in a day or so, when I work the kinks out.Soorani Control without Decree of Justice? Say it's not so. :cry: That is like Smart Goblins without the Swords to Plowshares and the Ravages of War.
