For the record, the commentators were split 50/50. I specifically spent some time pointing out to RB all the cards that were relevant and why especially post-board DnT would be favored.

I loved Battlesphere vs Shops, then they printed BSC and Metamorph, and now I'm not so sure. I know why people are anti-BSC and to an extent I agree, many decks are prepared. Still, and I say this...
Pretty sure the four Mox thing is intentional, see Mike Egan's 1st place build in a proxy event: http://morphling.de/top8decks.php?id=1615&highlight=1#place1
Deck should definitely play...
I'm reasonably certain I was actually your rd 3 opponent. I had miserable pairings in this event. Rd 1 I beat Dredge, and rd 2 I beat it again. Rd 3 I was smoked badly. Somewhat humorously, I...
Unfortunately this overlaps with GenCon but I hope to see more in the future, I'd definitely attend.
Eating at Subway at all implies that you have no idea what a sandwich is supposed to taste like. Not only do I not trust the freshness of avocado at Subway, I also think that the general effect is...
I spent some time pulling recent decks that I liked from Legacy's Top Tier, and figured I could make an article out of it, so here you go:

Short article on Legacy Dredge is up on SCG: http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/legacy/23945_Legacys_Best_Combo_Deck.html
I wanted to give some background on what happened when Faithless Looting...
Nice, I should be there
I think that looking at Dredge in general now that Looting exists, you’re starting with the list that I used, plus:
1 Golgari Thug
1 Ichorid
1 Cabal Therapy
1 Dread Return
1 DR target
1...
Split the finals of a ~30 player tournament with Dredge on 3/17:
4 Faithless Looting
4 Lion's Eye Diamond
3 Careful Study
3 Breakthrough
4 Putrid Imp
3 Ichorid
4 Narcomoeba
4 Bridge from...
Split the finals of this tournament with Dredge:
4 Faithless Looting
4 Lion's Eye Diamond
3 Careful Study
3 Breakthrough
4 Putrid Imp
3 Ichorid
4 Narcomoeba
4 Bridge from Below
I played 3 Ichorid 3 Thug main, 4th Ichorid in the SB
Ah, I see. Seems to me like playing 2x Dread Return 1x FKZ (or reasonable facsimile) is low investment for high return in the match-ups where you need it.
How so? The 4 CS / 4 Looting / 4 LED builds are fast & consistent. Best of both worlds. Play 3 Ichorids and you can slow-Dredge like a champ vs. control decks and out-race almost anything else.
Played my first Legacy tournament in 4 months with zero testing; split the finals. Faithless Looting version of this deck is unreal, definitely needs 4x Ichorid (I'd suggest 3 main 1 SB which is...
I'd love to make this... I will give it my best shot.
Scheduled against Vintage in Cherry Hill... understandable but a bit of a pickle for me.
Now I have to decide against trying to back-to-back Vintage wins or extending my 11-Swiss round unbeaten...
but at least two people did well with it at a couple events!
My first version of this deck goldfishes turn 3 pretty reliably, with some turn 2 and some mulls to oblivion / can't find action, as you'd see with any Legacy combo. One nice thing about this...
Fixed, see above.
On a different note: Legacy Champs Top 8 had 8 different archetypes. Legacy, you're the best.
EDIT: Margin of error +/- 1 archetype.
I'm at work, cut me some slack...
Am I the only one that hates HATES HATES ridiculous packs as prizes? I would rather take just about anything besides OOP packs.
I missed Gen Con this year and hope to go back next year, but I...
I strongly endorse this post and/or line of thinking / worldview.
Well done.
One of my concerns with the banning of Mystical Tutor was that it would start a ripple effect whereby people clamored for the banning of cards in any deck that did well for more than one or two...
