I'm not organizing this tournament, and I'm just posting the info on behalf of the TO.

Feel free to ask any questions, though!

Attendance will be good for this. The weekly events on Wednesday nights regularly get around 20 people, so the turnout for this should be fantastic. This will be a good warm-up for the Legacy Champs the next weekend!

Our weekly events sport more players consistantly than any other weekly legacy in the state. I would expect the normal 20 players + a bunch more.

[jakolhops]

Roll Call- Who from the source is coming?

[luckymartyr]

Will try to make it. Looking forward to slinging some legacy cards again.

[Mr. Fix it]

I'll come but what about parking? those meters next to your store look like a haven for meter maids (also don't they have 2 hour limit or close to that?. are people in that neighborhood behind your store picky about parking spots?

idk but im parking in the nieghborhood. If they complain ill just say im friends with that house. And point to a random house.

[Kilz88]

The meters are free after 6pm. Otherwise, you can park on the streets behind the store. Don't park in any driveways or lots or you WILL get towed. They are fast as hell at that.

[Soldar]

The meters by the store are 60 cents an hour.

I'll be showing up, and I haven't had any problems with the neighborhood, as long as you park in areas where it's allowed.

[jakolhops]

So this is over. . And i am not sure of every deck in the top 8.

32 players showed up

Top 4
1.Zoo
2.R/b Goblins
3.Affinity
4. burn
YEAH THHATS RIGHT SCREW BLUE!!

Even though the meta was flooded with CB/Top and Landstill.

I made the top 4 with the burn deck and to get there i played against
1.Goblins
2.burn
3.CB/Top
4.Landstill
5.Landstill
t8-Goblins

[Mark Sun]

Played Wishstill, did pretty terrible against Zoo/Loam. Overall 2-3 for the day. Not my best showing, but oh well.

[Avier]

Merfolk went 2-3. Ran into Goblins, of which there were 3 or 4 players. Then again there were 4 or so merfolk players too.

[Mr. Fix it]

i over slept and didn't make it but knowing that there were 4 merfolk kinda makes me glade i saved my money now that i know that. (the one match up i suck at for some reason)

[KrzyMoose]

I split in the top 4 with RGW Zoo.

Round 1: 2-0 against UW WishStill 1-0
Round 2: 2-0 against UWb WishStill 2-0
Round 3: 2-0 against UGW Threshold (old school...Mystic Enforcer and maindeck Meddling Mage. Also had CounterTop) 3-0
Round 4: ID with Aggro Loam 3-0-1
Round 5: 2-0 against Merfolk 4-0-1
Top 8: 2-0 against Canadian Threshold 5-0-1

This list is basically Alix Hatfield's deck from the SCG 5K and the 40 Duals tournament.

The metagame was like 60% Blue decks, but there was a ton of other stuff, as well. There was one awful Dragonstorm deck, but no other Combo.

*edit* I wasn't actually sure what I was gonna play until basically the night before. I hadn't played much Legacy since the GP. Thus, I didn't want to play CounterTop, which is what I usually played, since I'd be out of practice and I didn't want to deal with the mirror match. I was thinking about playing Combo, but I hate running decks where you basically flip a coin and your ability to outplay the opponent is pretty worthless. So, I decided to play Zoo, since I've had PTQ success with Creature decks. I felt that being able to be really aggressive and still outplay the opponent would be perfect.

*edit 2* Also, the Top 8 was something like:
2 Goblins
1 Affinity
1 Aggro Loam
1 Burn
1 Zoo
1 Canadian Threshold
1 Mystery Deck...the decklists will be posted shortly

[Soldar]

I went 2-2 with Aggro Loam.

1-2 vs the most pimped out UGW Countertop deck I've ever seen. Foil Goyfs, Foil Counterbalances, beta duals. I didn't feel so bad, even getting CB-locked early.
2-0 vs UWb Wishstill - Wastelock.
2-0 vs Rgw GoyfSligh - Wastelock + dreams.
1-2 vs Merfolk - Punted game 2, he chained 3 standstills in game 3.

That was the weirdest thing though - if I had won my first match, I would have been playing against Aggro and non-blue decks at the top tables all day.

You leave the Paths, Fallouts and the Library at the store for me to pick up? I have this feeling that I'm going to be playing Zoo this week.
