    I dunno, powering out big Instant fattos on opponent's combat step through Reset-High Tide sounds like good plan.

    Re: What Does Your Metagame Look Like?

    Our metagame is pretty varied, generally, but a lot of people who don't have a whole lot of older stuff tend to play mono black or Homebrew-style disruption decks.

    Most recent top 4:

    Angel Stompy
    Stupid Green (splashing black)
    Salvagers Combo
    Wildfire

    The tourney we had before that expanded to a top 8:

    Homebrew
    Angel Stompy
    Reanimator
    Burn
    Zoo
    Threshold
    Homebrew
    Homebrew

    And the T4 before that:

    Threshold
    Homebrew
    Zoo
    Life

    So, yeah. Looks somewhat stagnant, but that is skewed slightly by a couple of pretty decent players having preferred decks (Homebrew, Threshold) they play repeatedly and T4 with. The rest of the meta is pretty wide open.

    Re: What Does Your Metagame Look Like?

    Time for an update on the modern Rochester Millenium Game's and Hobbie's metagame.

    1-3 Solidarity
    0-2 Goblins (Usually only one of the builds is optimal)
    1-3 Angel Stompy,White weenie etc.
    1-2 Burn
    1 U/G/R Threshold
    0-1 Psychatog w/ life from the loam
    0-1 Life.dec
    0-1 R/G/W Beserk Beats/Fling
    0-1 Ankh of Mishra w/Parallax Tide.dec
    2-4 Awful Players With Awful Decks


    The top decks generally appear to be Thresh,Solidarity, and Psychatog, normally going 5-0, 4-1
    Team Unicorn- "I'm Horny."

    "The Wandering One" of Legacy.


    "Glimmervoid, Go."

    T8 usually looks like this

    thresh
    rifter
    homebrew
    ATS
    Landstill

    sometimes a random rogue deck makes it in.

    Re: What Does Your Metagame Look Like?

    In Poland Legacy is at least popular format, unfortunatelly. I'm afraid that even T1 beats it.

    That's the metagame of on-line tournament organized by our POPULAR site yesterday (13 players :/)

    Top4:
    1-2. Mono B Suicide
    1-2. Mono R Goblins
    3-4. Salvagers
    4-4. GWU Threshold

    Standings after four rounds:
    1. Salvagers
    2. UG Fish
    3. UGW ********
    4. MonoR Goblins
    5. 2land Belcher
    6. MonoB Suicide
    7. UGW ********
    8. Mesmeric Gaea's - ME!
    9. (?) Pikula / UW Fish
    10. 5/3 Aggro (G)
    11. (?) Pikula / UW Fish
    12. RW Goblins
    13. Zubera Combo

    It's nice that everyone plays something different, but lack of interests sucks.
    Common Sense was reprinted as rare.

    I think legacy is the least popular format in every country. I agree that lack of interest is probably one of the most detrimental thing to the format. Of course Wizards have given little incentive for people to have interest in it.

    Re: What Does Your Metagame Look Like?

    In Montreal, Legacy is slowly surpassing T1 as many T1 players are turning to Legacy. We have in the Mtl area around 3 to 4 tournaments a month with anywhere from 6 to 30 players.

    There are a lot of Thresh, Goblins, RG Slight, some Angel, very little combo, some affinity, some rifter and a fair amount of random crap. The metagame is fairly open as long as you can deal with Goblins and Thresh.

    Re: What Does Your Metagame Look Like?

    Legacy Tourneys pull more players than any other format tourney here in San Diego.

    Vintage kind of died, because unless we had a non-sactioned tourney to allow proxies we had only 6 of us with cards. Most of us Vintage players started playing Legacy just to have competition.

    We have 30-50 people once a week.
    1-2 Solidarity
    0-2 2-Land Belcher
    1-2 Reanimator
    0-1 RecSur
    0-1 R/G Survival
    0-1 ATS
    0-1 Threashold
    1-3 Goblins
    0-1 Life
    0-2 W/B Control
    0-1 Mono White Control
    0-2 Affinity
    0-2 U/R Fish
    0-2 W/U Fish
    1-2 R/W Agro/Burn
    0-1 R/W/U Agro/Burn
    0-1 Mono Black
    0-1 Spring Tide
    0-2 4 Color Landstill
    0-1 W/U Landstill/Fish (New deck as of two weeks ago)
    0-2 Dredge-Atog
    0-1 Icorrid
    0-1 G/U Madness
    0-1 Brand
    0-1 Salvagers
    1-2 Braids
    0-1 Burn
    0-1 Staxs

    Then there are about 5-10 Decks that don't matter because someone played a Type 2, Extended, or a complete pile and thus was not competitve.

    I am sure that I am missing some decks as well as I have left decks off the list that I haven't seen in awhile.

    Yea, Sligh and Burn, but haven't seen them much of them for a while.

    Your B/W/G isn't bad jank, it is like B/W control with Green for recursion of the good spells. It is pretty much B/W control, but better, so I grouped it in there because everyone would know that. If I said B/W/G, they'd be like...

    In Germany, we have monthly Legacy, Vintage and Standard tournaments... Legacy outnumbers Vintage by far. Slowly, Vintage starts to die around here and Legacy gets even more popular. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that Vintage tournaments don't allow proxies...

    I'm quite happy with the development, though... ;)

    My meta is almost exactly the same as TheAardvark with the exception of *****.

    There is a huge surge recently with random green aggro and janky ass versions of Tendrils.

    I swear god these guys' Tendrils deck look like they just grabbed a bunch of random artifacts from the commons box an hour before the tourney and randomly made it lawwwllzz

    Re: [Discussion] What Does Your Metagame Look Like?

    My meta is kind of random but there are always a fair amount of sligh and burn. A deck that surprisingly is almost a DTB in my meta is Aluren. Also there are very few (sometimes none) VialGoblin decks. the randomness isn't caused by noobs but mostly 'cause the pros like to catch ppl off-guard by playing a different deck each time.
