[Free Article] Instant Analysis - SCG Denver & Minneapolis $5K Legacy

[JACO]

"The past two weekends have brought some of the biggest crowds for Legacy in the USA this summer, with 170 players in the SCG Minneapolis $5K Legacy this past weekend, and 125 players in the SCG Denver $5K Legacy tournament the weekend prior. As the post-Mystical Tutor world of Legacy develops we have seen Reanimator and Ad Nauseam combo neutered, but not completely dead, and plenty of other decks have sprung up to take their places in recent tournaments.

I talk about the Top 16 decks, technology from these tournament, and hit you with a Jace decklist based on Prosak's deck. As always, your criticism, ideas, and thoughts are appreciated. What did you like, dislike, and what would you like to see more of?

Frankly, I thought it sucked because it was so informative and helped me keep up to date with what's going on with the format :tongue:

JACO,

I thought that the article was good at representing the decks that have been doing well lately. I enjoyed your commentary about the relatively odd recruiter deck and your suggestion on an academy ruins as an additional land is probably right. Keep up the good work.

Good job as usual! I wouldn't "throw away" black as a splash though. It gives Perish that is very good in the current meta, Engineered Plague and Extirpate. They are all solid choices in the current meta. I agree that Firespout does a similar job, in a less narrow way, but also in a less efficient way against certain decks.

Have you ever thought about writing on CounterThopter? :D

And YES, Caleb's list is everywhere ATM!!

I have thought about writing about CounterTop Thopter, and a host of other options. I haven't found a build of CounterTop Thopter that I'm in love with yet though, even after testing the deck extensively for the past couple of months. I actually played UWB CounterTop Thopter at the SCG event that was won by the same deck, but I didn't fare as well as the winner. I'm still working out some different variants.
