Thanks for a great tournament, Lori.

Sorry to nitpick, but you misspelled "O'Brien" on my deck name.

They're both modal:

The difference between the two is negligible at this...

Here's my quick and dirty report from today's 38-man Legacy at Knight Ware, Inc. in Studio City, CA.

List:
3 Vendilion Clique
1 Venser, Shaper Savant

3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
1 Elspeth,...

Is it just me, or is that map still showing the old location?

I hear putting it in off Show and Tell is pretty good. :cool: (/not-so-humble-brag)

In the late-late-late game, you can bounce an O-Ring with the trigger on the stack.

Awesome. Thanks for the response.

I'll definitely do my best to make it.

So that answers the question, does it?

I'd rather not drive an hour for an event that who the hell knows if it's going to fire, and that makes me lazy as fuck?

Definitely want to know the answer to this question.

Fullerton is not prohibitively far to drive, but it's a long way to go just to find out that 29 players showed up, and we won't be playing (or...

I'm still going to go to Gen Con, and I'm still going to have a great time, but it really was nice to be able to play in a giant Vintage tournament without having to travel to France.

Honestly, I...

Thanks for jumping into the legacy scene! It's always great to have more places to play.

But, yeah, what Joseph said. A lot of local legacy players are already planning on playing at MTGDeals...

I think a lot of this is down to personal play style. A lot of times, I won't Force my opponent's top, but I almost always regret it several turns later. Watching my opponent spin Top in the mirror...

Quick thoughts, having never tried many of these cards:
-Blood Moon is there for the "oops, I won" factor against many difficult match ups, like Jund, BUG, and Esper. Back to Basics doesn't seem...

Normally, I would balk at such epic IRL trolling, but you were playing against Ethan, so I'm okay with it.

That's even better.

Also, this.

Looking back at my finals match with Koby in Vegas, I punted so hard in game 1. I just got lucky that he couldn't capitalize. We're all just trying to get better.

Sorry if I came off like a dick in my first post. I shouldn't post when I'm tired. For what it's worth, I dug your shirt, Cap.
That's a line I wasn't thinking of, and very interesting. If he did...

Congrats on the top 8. I'm sorry that I'm about to be blunt, but I couldn't read the description of your quarterfinal match and not say something.
Game 1, yeah, there was nothing you could do about...

She's also good against creature decks, chumping 1 big creature and forcing them to overextend into Terminus.

She's just all around good. An awesome defensive card that turns into an awesome...

Yes. This!

Vintage is actually my favorite format, and this deck feels the closest to vintage control as anything I've played in Legacy. RiP/Helm is Vault/Key and Entreat is Tinkering for a giant...

Hmm... Could be good. I never even thought about Crusader. One pro (and con sometimes) you left off Geist's list is that he's blue. Sometimes relevant (for better or worse).

I haven't really...

Funny story, on Saturday night, I went 1-3 in the Legacy Challenge, which included a loss to a Goblins player that burned me out from 17 after I resolved a turn 4 Moat. Sometimes you're not meant to...

Any deck running Jaces of its own. Being able to sneak one into play a turn earlier is pretty great.

Plus, I just love the card.

Yeah, I hate Energy Field. The RiP/Helm combo may be a bit clunky at times, but at least it wins the game on the spot, instead of just delaying things until your opponent finds an answer.

I can't...

Thanks for another great event, Lori.

And thanks, Kevin and Phil, for judging.

Thanks for a great event, Lori.



I was more surprised by the 4 copies of Steam Vents, myself.

I keep going back and forth on that 61st card, but I can't think of what to cut, especially...
