    [Podcast] The Salt Mine Episode 12: Cancon and the state of the metagame, ft Tang

    https://thesaltminesite.com/2017/02/...-stephen-tang/

    Welcome to another episode of The Salt Mine! After all our international guests we take it back to Australia and talk about the recent tournaments we’ve been to. With the large Guf Ballarat tournament in the rear view, we talk about our preparation for CanCon 2017’s Legacy event, how our tournaments went and other general banter about our experiences in the nation’s capital and where the metagame is going. Enjoy!

    Good episode. Also I strongly agree with the sentiment re: keeping angle-shooters (aka, cheaters) out of Legacy. It's not a format for that sort of play and attitude.

    Fun episode. Always good to hear what your area produces deck-wise.

    I agree that the natural progression of an area is towards blue, players enter with less expensive decks (eldrazi being a big one), and transition to blue at some point along the process of picking up blue duals and other expensive deck components.

    I disagree with calling some decks easy to play, however. Rather, some decks are just easier to get undeserved wins with. Pretty much everything in Legacy can be optimized to some degree, it's just a matter of tight play, knowing your and your opponent's decks/outs/odds, etc.
    There are innately powerful decks that will prop up an inexperienced player for free wins, definitely. Magic is still a game of managing variance/luck at the end of the day.
    Tusk up.
    (Not so) Current Decks: GB Elves, GW Maverick, GWb Maverick, LED Dredge, ANT, TES, Jund Storm.

    Any chance of a Sneak and Show deck tech?

    Actually, a parody one would be hilarious.

    Listening to this back-to-back with the latest Brainstorm Show episode was kind of funny because of the opposite views of ANT expressed.
