Cool article. I enjoyed it.

Jarno - At least you didn't recycle (http://mtgsalvation.com/563-the-faerie-stompy-interview.html) your stuff. ;)

[Pinder]

It was a good read, thanks.

And don't worry shivanking, I'm sure your English is much, much better than my Italian. :wink:

I am very impressed on how the evolution of this archetype took shape. He referenced how the deck began as a casual mono-blue aggro deck and worked it to become a competitive powerhouse in the Legacy meta for years to come. That takes a great deal of intelligence and patience through vigorous testing and changes galore. Kudos to him.

EDIT: I also like it how he refers to "happenstance" giving the deck it's power pieces - namely - Sea Drake.

As someone who was on the FS train very early I greatly enjoyed the it. Eldariel deserves a lot of the credit for where the format is today.

[Eldariel]

Glad this is finally up. I can imagine what a burden it must've been to translate the whole article into Italian; I appear to have spared no words. Anyways, I was glad that so many of the questions were on subjects other than just the present state of FS. Especially the "What cards would I hope to see printed"-section was interesting to think about.

[Muradin]

Nice and interesting interview. I think you chose quite good questions for it and I am always impressed to see people inventing real new decks on their own, as I suppose this to be really difficult.

[Pltnmngl]

That 8Sphere Affinity really intrigues me since I don't like the idea of utilizing "Plan B" urgently.

[Hopo]

Eldariel, it really bothers me that you don't attend the Finnish legacy tournaments. The frequency is at all time high now since last autumn. Someone nearly always takes FS to a local tourney, and besides last years legacy champs, it never is you. Local legacy scene is really healthy and up-to-date, as stated by yourself in your champs-report. Number of viable decks competing out there, you should take a shot.
Are you from the Helsinki area, by the way? If not, I can't say too much about the state of the format and the number of tourneys.

[Eldariel]

I'm able to attend to tournaments in Helsinki now, but that hasn't been the case for a while. I'm not gonna get to that any more than that now, but in the future I feel I should be able to play more.
