RIP/Helm is certainly solid, and we have played it before. It's fantastic in metagames where having multiple maindeck RIPs is really useful in its own right, but we don't think the format is shaping...

Hello, this is Alix Hatfield, the guy playing Enchantress on stream for two rounds at GP Richmond. I lost a game due to being late , then punted a game in horrible fashion by forgetting about the...
If you want to consider whether survival would be healthy to unban, you should start with the gwb lists that ultimately got the card axed. Gerry's list that was posted earlier is a good example of...
Alix Hatfield here, and I'm sorry for not seeing this earlier and clearing things up.
Things happened basically how Nick described. Mike asked if I would concede, not because he expected me to,...
Just to echo Damon, I think replacing Looter with Mulldrifter or Impulse is a hard sell. The repeated looting effect is very powerful in this deck, given how many situational and redundant cards...
Stoneforge is a pretty scary threat for us. The good news is that we can generally get our equipment online a turn or two faster than any of the SFM decks, and that's enough to win the fight against...
Alix Hatfield here. Thanks for the responses!
Without access to Misdirections, I think Spellskite is a consideration. It isn't a perfect replacement, but it has has some advantages and still does...
Abrupt Decay is the first two-mana removal spell you don't have to feel bad about playing in Legacy. It's uncounterable, which is a concise way of saying you won't get embarrassed by Daze every time...
How about using Wall of Mulch as a sacrifice outlet? I think this deck probably wants some copies of Wall of Roots, anyway, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch to get a Wall "theme" going.
I...
We didn't have a great day yesterday, but we both played the following list:
//maindeck
4x Brainstorm
4x Ponder
3x Preordain
4x Merchant Scroll
3x Cunning Wish
We calculate the EV ("expected value") number by multiplying a given deck's aggregate matchup win percentage against another deck (right now, that would be the overall matchup result since New...
Yeah, I know Springfield is a ways outside of DC, depending on where you're staying. It might be easier for you to go to one of the other places mentioned in the thread.
All I can really tell you...
The Curio Cavern, in Springfield, Va., holds $5 Legacy tournaments every Wednesday night. Attendance varies between 10 and 20 people, but it's still growing.
Hope to see you there!
Brad Nelson - Top 8 Grand Prix: Columbus 2010

1 Horizon Canopy
1 Karakas
4 Marsh Flats
1 Maze of Ith
1 Plains
3 Scrubland
Unfortunately, we don't have decklists from the event, beyond those from the Top 8. The deck classification was done by Jared Sylva (which means he went through almost 1200 paper decklists, by hand,...
I have done business with ABU dozens of times, starting back when we were playing Vintage Restricted, and I can hardly recommend them enough. They ship very quickly (I can just about count on an...
I seriously doubt that Mystical's banning is going to cause enough of a shake-up to somehow make the proverbial "control decks" any good. The format is still going to be incredibly diverse, and...
Well reasoned, eloquent, and ultimately pretty convincing analysis of the B&R announcement.
Chris Coppola discusses the banning of Mystical Tutor within the context of past Legacy B&R policy, and...
Determining the correct play in situations like this will always require an accurate evaluation of Brainstorm's value, relative to your chances of winning the game. In other words, if your hand is...
The lists are posted in order of the standings after the swiss. Jesse Hatfield and Dan Signorini split in the finals, defeating Bryant Cook and Jesse Krieger in the semis, respectively.
Jesse really did play Zoo. He is just as capable of sleeving up Wild Nacatls as I am.

By the way, if you're playing The Rock, why would you Therapy Force of Will? That card seems really weak...
Hey, let's be fair here. Camping in the passing lane is pretty rude. Shit pisses me off, too.
While I understand that Brainstorm and Ponder don't always find you what you need, they make up for that by usually finding you gas, and often doing more. Compare Animate Dead to the Brainstorm that...
Several of the things you like about your mono-black build can just as easily be incorporated into a blue-black shell. Including Dark Rituals, lowering the creature count, and moving discard spells...
