Congrats on your day one performance, hope to see your name up there again at other events.

4 Preordain and 0 Gitaxian probe?

I can't agree with the bolded statement. You can't amass better cards when you let them find their permanent based hate easier and/or let them float counterspells on top and/or resolve EoT entreat....

How the hell do you make 8 goblins turn 1 without LED?

BW or IT = 2 mana
Empty = 4 mana

Land drop gets you 1 mana. You need 5 more mana with 2 spells and have to R or RR (if BW is the tutor)....

This is like a reverse name drop.

After playing and witnessing cabal ritual, I like it a ton.

If you want to get better with the deck, you shouldn't avoid hard matchups. The only deck I cringe at there is sneak and show, the rest are whatever.

The hat is how I find you. I don't recall the sleeves.

Hope to see you guys Saturday

For those of you without premium, the article details why Ari thought storm was such a good choice when he was advocating it heavily (think year = 2010) and how decks nowadays each have had...

Bryant today- "Man, the room is full of bad matchups"

Still top 8's anyway.

On that point, I almost never find chain to be useless. Either I get free storm or it buys me an additional turn. It's singlehandedly one of the more versatile options at our disposal.

Playing vintage storm makes me want to play with 4 LEDs again. Never have I ever appreciated how good that card is...

Welcome to the Source! If we haven't met in person, we surely will soon.

If you are truly in Philly, Redcaps Corner right outside of 30th street station/Drexel university has weekly Legacy every...

I dislike that it can't take mindbreak trap or natural order if I was so inclined. If such a metagame exists, I'm not convinced this is that meta.

Well you won't skip DC I hope. Thoughtseize was relevant for me all day. Any life loss from it was usually negligible or I can attribute to shoddy play. I'll run the same 75 in DC most likely

Sam is a Philly local player whom I’ve had the chance to face several times over the past couple months. Apparently he doesn’t...

Finished 7-2 aka 16th at Legacy Champs in Philly today. Played the 75 in the OP, thoughtseize was fine for me all day. Report might come or I'll just post the matchups and small details since i...

They have to not have force and you have to hit the mana source? Eww.

With their plethora of ways to disrupt you and potential to present a quick clock, it is true it seems like merfolk is a good foil for combo. However, realize that it is quite difficult for them to...

EPIC

Yeah not seeing it

:( Just because you cannot convince one person does not mean the effort wasn't worthwhile.

Bryant, how do you think the overloaded 12 post sideboard fairs against us?

Ugh, dice are awkward as hell, especially if you start playing with them. Writing everything down and the spells cast ensures 0 confusion and you can always run back through the chain should there be...

It is rare for me to be forced to IGG when I couldn't just Past in Flames or Tutor chain (with tutor chain being usually easier). IGG was great against the fast decks that I just don't see as often....

That's kinda how I feel, but I think in the long run I'd rather have PiF than IGG since IGG tends to be a hedge against aggressive decks we should beat anyway where PiF helps us against extended blue...

Played 6 games last night against high tide with 3 main flusterstorm, 4 force, and fluster in board, mainly to get my friend a feeling of the matchup and more practice with High tide. No boarding was...

Really? For me Tempest flavor text is easily the best:

On another topic- Bryant your updated primer is amazing. I really prefer this style of walking through your decisions instead of having a...
