MTGO Legacy Daily 1 (ANT)

[MattiasNL]

Hello there!
I'm a legacy player from Amsterdam, Netherlands. Currently playing ANT on Magic Online as well as in real life tournaments. I have created a few recordings of me playing legacy daily events (4 rounds) on Magic Online with commentary.
I hope these will be both entertaining and educational at the same time.

I'm posting just the first one for now, and if people like it I will put the others up too.
Please leave your comments and responses here, so I can improve both my techincal play as well as my video making. :wink:

Was watching your sideboarding in round 2 vs. dredge; a quirk of legacy on modo is that masques block doesn't exist, so unmask, port, etc. aren't actually available online. Daze only exists because it was in duel deck Jace v. Chandra.

Keep up the good work mate ;) Weird to see you on these boards.

In the first round, game one, I don't see why you don't just go for IGG on turn three.


Draw LED

HAND: Preordain, Ponder, Chrome Mox, Inf. Tutor, Cabal Ritual, Ill-Gotten Gains, Lion's Eye Diamond

Play Preordain, draw Lotus Petal (Storm1) (4 in grave)

Crack fetch (5 in grave)

Play Ponder (find any mana source or a card you can pitch to Mox; let's just say a land) (Storm2) (6 in grave)

Play land, Lotus Petal, Chrome Mox (don't imprint), LED (Storm5)

Sac Petal for black (7 in grave) (Mana: B)

Play Cabal Ritual (Mana: BBBBB), play IGG (Mana: B) in response sac LED (Mana: BBBB) (Storm7)

Get: Cabal Ritual, LED, Inf. Tutor

Play Cabal Ritual, LED, Inf. Tutor (Storm10) (Mana: BBBBBBBB)

Inf. Tutor > Inf. Tutor > Tendrils (Storm13)


EDIT: In fact, if your Ponder finds a non-land non-LED mana source, IGG is not even necessary ie.:

Preordain, Ponder, D. Ritual, Lotus Petal, Chrome Mox, LED, C. Ritual, Inf. Tutor, Inf. Tutor, Tendrils (Storm10)

Preordain, Ponder, D. Ritual, Lotus Petal, Chrome Mox, LED, C. Ritual, Inf. Tutor, Inf. Tutor, Tendrils (Storm10)

He can actually combo out here without needing to cast the Ponder (which has the very small chance of "bricking" on a same turn kill by hitting LED, LED, LED or LED, LED, Chrome Mox):

Tap island, play Preordain, drawing Petal on top of library (Storm 1, 0 mana in pool)
Crack fetch for Underground Sea, tap for black (Storm 1, B in pool)
Cast Chrome Mox, imprinting ponder, tap for U (Storm 2, UB in pool)
Cast Cabal Ritual (Storm 3, BBB in pool)
Cast Lotus Petal and sac for B (Storm 4, BBBB in pool)
Cast LED (Storm 5, BBBB in pool)
Cast Ill Gotten Gains, sac LED for BBB in response, get back LED, Cabal Ritual, Infernal Tutor (Storm 6, BBB in pool)
Cast Cabal Ritual (Storm 7, BBBB in pool)
Cast LED (Storm 8, BBBB in pool)
Cast Infernal Tutor, crack LED for BBB in response (Storm 9, BBBBB in pool)
Find Tendrils, Tendrils for 20

In your second Video (Legacy Daily 2), in the 4th round, 2nd game (against weird Sneak Attack.deck) where Chalice@1&2 are on the board, I didnt understood why you didnt bounced the Chalices with the Recall. You were thinking about that but decided not to do this because he could replay those on the following turn.
IMO you had no other chance to win this and topdeck lucky into Ad Nauseum (even if its not that great at 9 or 11 life), which indeed happened. I think not getting blown out in maybe 3-4 turns (which you would need to find the same ammount of lands again with your version) is definetly a more rare case against such a deck than reliably get rid of that Chalice.
I know its easy to comment on such decisions as an outstanding player but thats one of the things that really stuck in my mind after weatching those videos.
Besides that, you do a great job at making videos and I really apprecieate the work you put in it. You seem a rather skilled pilot of the deck and I really enjoy watching those videos because I often cant imgaine the thoughts of Ad Nauseum players. It really helps and is as well very entertaining. Respect for commenting, beeing concentrated and staying calm while listening to another channel that features the Pro Tour, allover nice work.
Keep it up, greetings!

Oh boi, I just recognized that he would be able to replay it on zero (twice if he wants to) on his own turn since hes not an complete idiot. Take my statement back here.
As said before, pleasure to watch!
