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

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.
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

"The Wandering One" of Legacy.
"Glimmervoid, Go."
Burnaby, BC, Canada / Mishra's Game Factory
Solidarity
Dead-Guy Ale
Trainwreck
Angel Stompy
Combo Elves
Rabid Wombat
Zilla Stompy
U/G Madness x2
Homebrew x3 - 5 (usually 3)
Top4 Decks
1) Angel Stompy
2) Zilla Stompy
3) Solidarity
4) Dead-Guy Ale
One of the above decks always make the Top4.
sometimes all of them are in and sometimes a few or one are(is) on

Austin Texas/ Thor's Hammer
T8 usually looks like this
thresh
rifter
homebrew
ATS
Landstill
sometimes a random rogue deck makes it in.
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.Originally Posted by Warmonger

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.

War GSP!
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... ;)
Sometimes you have to read between the minds.

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
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.
