This is completely badass. I want everyone who runs a tournament from now on to do this.
The E.P.I.C. Syndicate: I mean, if they play a lullaby for babies they should at least play the Monster Mash when somebody dies.

Interesting. So it seems the good players think Lands is the deck to play in Legacy. (I wonder if they're using Worm Harvest.)
I wish my last name were Wurm.
SummenSaugen: well, I use Chaos Orb, Animate Artifact, and Dance of Many to make the table we're playing on my chaos orb token
SummenSaugen: then I flip it over and crush my opponent

Hey, John Knapp here. This tournament was loads of fun, despite the medium tournament. I really ike the way that it was casually run, but the integrity of the game was more than upheld. It was a great job for your first tourney. Lol, I also noticed that every person that I played in the swiss ended up in top 8 with me being their only loss. I played Jeremy seroogy round 1 and won 2-0. I played Alex with solidarity round 2 and won 2-0. Then I played James King round 3 and win 2-1. Draw with Owen in the 4th. Draw with Goblins in the 5th. I'm definitely looking forward to the next tourney.
Owen Turtenwald (43 land) beats Alex Franson (Solidarity)wtf, how did that happen???
Top 8 pics.
James King (Survival) tries to resolve something, anything vs Dave Carhart with Landstill.
All of Greg Sieverson's Goblins can't cross Jeremy Seroogy's proxied Moat.
You would think Dave Carhart would respect a FOIL SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, but alas, that was not so.
Jeremy Seroogy plots his opening play.
Nantuko Shade just can't get there vs a deck with infinite removal and chump blockers.
I told James King that if he couldn't fit the text on the proxy he could just write it on a piece of paper.
Jeremy Seroogy busts out his entire deck to lock out Goblins.
That's right. Two of them.
Mil-town becomes Pimpville for one magical night.
Welcome to the hell that is the LandStill mirror. Clearly an untimed Top 8 was a mistake. Eventually Dave is able to end the match with a ridiculous Haunting Echoes, ripping everything out of John's deck and ending the match. That's Dave with the blue playmat.
Owen grinds down Jeremy Seroogy in an epic battle of the permanent-based control decks.
It's not looking good for Jeremy here, considering that he's outnumbered on permanents 16 to 3.
Owen opens up a can of whoop-ass in the finals, smashing Dave in under 20 minutes. Apparently countermagic isn't really good against a deck that wins with lands.
All Owen really had to do was get the Ports going and he could lock Dave's mana out and crush him.
Dave thought Meddling Mage on Life from the Loam would save him. Owen expected Leylines instead of Mages and thus didn't bring in his SB Firebolt, which he could have Intuitioned for. Instead he casually obliterated Dave's manabase, then busted out the Barbarian Ring and torched the poor Mage.
Owen takes command of the game.
Dave fought back with a Thoughtseize, but Owen had both Gamble and Intuition. Dave took Gamble, which proved to be wrong as Owen EOT'd the Intuition for Wastelands to nuke Dave's fragile mana.
Soon Dave's board evaporated once again.
Aaaaaand Owen Motherfuckin' Turtenwald takes it in a harsh and brutal two games. Congratulations to ICBM's own Owen Turtenwald for winning ICBM Legacy Open #1.
Is this an actual name?
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.
Team ADHD-To resist is to piss in the wind. Anyone who does will end up smelling.
Trying to navigate through 10,000 pictures to get information is annoying, by the way. A link would probably work better next time.
What was turnout?
Early one morning while making the round,
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down;
I went right home and I went to bed,
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head.
That's his actual name.
Turnout was 24. It will be better next time I think; apparently I need to browbeat people more.
lol. There was a concession. Alex knew he couldn't beat my deck at all, and knew he would have trouble with the other landstill player, so he conceded to give Owen better chances, even though it's a great matchup.
Solidarity has a slight chance to beat Landstill (like snowball chance in hell slight) but that chance is definitely greater than the odds a 43Land deck will take down Solidarity :)
The hell are you smoking? Those Landstill decks are great matchups for Solidarity. Trust me, Landstill was my favorite matchup with Solidarity. Those lists are similar to the ones that I've beaten countless times before.
For the foreseeable future, expect to see less of me. I've lost my internet connection, and so I'll only be able to get on by siphoning free Wi-Fi from the surrounding areas. Which isn't always consistent.
Plus, the guy that I used to leech off of has now instituted password protection. This means that I effectively do not have internet at home. :(
I'm going to "Ditto" this one, and I'm a pretty terrible Solidarity player. Landstill was never a very difficult matchup for me, especially the ones packing lots of board control. These days, you've got ~8 counters to worry about, maybe Stifle, and that's it.
I've been on both sides of the table. What's Landstill's big threat? Counters? Well, you have infinite time to play land, go, and then they can barely deal with you in low-tide form, let alone going off in response to like FoF or something. Or even better, without Reset when they EoT Cycle for Men.
