I'm suprised there's no discussion thread for this:

Two True Apes killed by one Zealous Persecution....GET EM!
Exactly. Why would anyone be talking about the biggest legacy event of the ongoing year in this dedicated legacy forum 🙄
Some of my friends sell records,
some of my friends sell drugs.

-Miracles

Pretty awesome so far! Grixis sure is the most efficient deck. Very happy that SCG picked up Legacy again.
IDK when/how the convention of referring to Elf decks as "Elves!" with the exclamation point got started, but it is one of my favorite changes I noticed since being away for a couple years. Also pretty jazzed to see SCG covering Legacy again
Top 32 is up, two really spicy lists tucked away in there.
Some sort of Dega Hatebears/Taxes as well as gatdamn Tezzerator.
Lands lost to Grinder Delver in the top 8. Little Green Men and Miracles are the last hope against the Insectoid Menace.
I just happened to tune in for this match and man. Had no idea what RB Daretti was which was reasonable since it was a conspiracy card I believe. But not knowing a standard card like Padeem was puzzling. Also it was funny watching that guy just get a true name down and completely invalidate every card that Tez had. What a stupid fucking card
SPOILER ALERT
Pretty surpriced that elves didnt win. I believe it's pretty favoured versus grixis, even with the new black sideboard.
Seems like Ben kept a really bad hand G1 and that Drake drew like a god both G1 and G2.
So if grixis is all that good how do we beat it? Both miracle and elves seems like good candidates.
Game 1 I mulled on the play and didn't want to go to 5, got appropriately punished. Game 2 I'm sure there's something I could have done differently, I was waiting a few turns to hopefully get resources for a lethal NO but him flipping his Delvers to FOW basically put me in the 2-turn hard lock.
I went 9-2-ID against Delver (lost a close match to Noah in the swiss) and was very happy to be paired against that matchup all weekend. Overall though, Elves is just not a very well-rounded deck, if this was a GP or an open I had to travel to I would have played something like Delver or Lands.
