It was a strong Top 8 with many varied decks. I think Legacy is pretty healthy right now, but they really should ban Sensei's Top. It's at the point where it's just an auto include in anything that isn't mono-green smokestack. If they actually ban top I think Legacy turns into the greatest format in Magic hands down. It's pretty close right now.

Here are a couple pics from the event:

I hope to make it to one of these eventually...and you have a 52 card decklist posted for Ciccio. He had Counterbalances (I'm sure, but how many?) and what else?

[wweenieking]

Allan,

He forgot 3 counterbalances, 3 smother, and 2 ghastly demise. But don't worry ill be changing it up for Sunday.

[JKubilis]

Allan,

He forgot 3 counterbalances, 3 smother, and 2 ghastly demise. But don't worry ill be changing it up for Sunday.

[wweenieking]

John if I'm not mistaken I didn't have them this weekend and you didn't even beat me a game...what happened?

[Dxfiler]
