    Re: Too Much Information- Worcester + Indy

    Unfortunately, I don't actually see the decklists, and I'm not the one who does the classification, so I can't definitively say what is and isn't included under "BUG." But in the context of what...
  2. Re: [Article] Too Much Information -- Seattle, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Boston Legacy Op

    Only when we can get the field breakdown for the next event.

    EV(x) = matchup%(x vs. deck1) * field%(deck1)
    + matchup%(x vs. deck2) * field%(deck2)
    + matchup%(x vs. deck3) * field%(deck3)
    + ......
  3. Re: [Article] Too Much Information -- Seattle, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Boston Legacy Op

    It looks like your deck from Pittsburgh was listed as "NO Toolbox", though it was listed as "Hulk Combo" in Providence and Boston. There are a few other decks that have been called "Hulk Combo"...
  4. [Article] Too Much Information -- Seattle, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Boston Legacy Opens

    I think the link to this will go up on SCG's main page on Monday, but if you're going to Atlanta, you might want to see it now. It's got breakdowns of the last four Opens, matchup statistics for the...

  7. Re: [Article] Eternal on the other Side of the Ocean: Dealing with Disruption

    I liked this article, especially the parts about Wasteland. A lot of people think the way to build and play around Wasteland is to play lots of basics, but when you're running three or more colors,...

  9. Re: [Article] Why Survival Shouldn't Be Banned, But Will Be Anyawy

    That's not really true. Survival decks performed very well immediately after the creation of Legacy, and during that time there were discussions on this site about whether it should be banned.

    Re: Survival of the Fittest

    Can anyone summarize the evidence that Survival is not dominating in Europe, or anywhere outside of the SCG Open series?

    A lot of people have posted top 8s by, but top 8s aren't very informative...
  11. Re: [Free Article] Legacy Combo: It's What's for Dinner

    A couple quick points on Breakfast:

    I have a couple of issues with this article, specifically concerning the SCG Denver and Minneapolis results, because Matt cites those tournaments as data points.

    Re: Dazed and Confused Part 2

    The idea is that it's usually (not just sometimes) optimal to fetch non-basics, and, for the same reasons, usually optimal to draw non-basics.

    Re: The Performance of Dredge

    It's amazing to me that people can simultaneously realize that tournament results suggest that a deck is better than it performs in their testing and yet be completely confident that the deck is easy...

    Re: The Adept System (SB)

    I think the Adept system is flawed because it confuses two completely unrelated skill-sets: the ability to run a discussion board and the ability to win Legacy tournaments.

    I like the basic idea of the article - doing real testing with real Legacy decks and discussing the results. Unfortunately, I think the execution left a lot to be desired.
