Source Tournament #3: Dual Jam
Registration Closed
Polls are closed. UseLess for president.
Tournament is over. UseLess is the undisputed champion. No recounts.



I said I was never doing it again. Then I said I might. Then someone else declared they might. Then a few months ago I said I was. Then a few weeks ago I said it is. Then a few days ago I said "tomorrow". BUT NOW IT'S HERE. It's Jelly Jam 2k16! And hopefully a lot more copy+paste so that I'm more inspired to diligence.

Jelly Jam is a Source based tournament filled with all the people whose opinions you probably hate. Join up and gloat! Scrub out and blame the shuffler! Either way, play for fun and play for keeps in this thrilling month-long Legacy event.

FAQ and matters of etiquette:



First and foremost, and something that should generally go without saying, is be a fucking gentleman. I am not running this to stuff someone’s wallet. I am running this because Legacy is fun. And while I do expect it to be played in a professional and competitive manner, it should in no way be treated as cutthroat.


Cockatrice (link) (https://cockatrice.github.io/) is the official program of this tournament. Anyone who needs help using Cockatrice just has to ask. If the individual pairings decide that they want to use MWS or MODO instead, that’s up to them, but not being able to play your match because you don’t have Cockatrice means you won’t be playing in this tournament at all.


Lurkers, friends, and people just signing up are welcome to join. The only stipulation is that you must personally represent yourself on The Source, and failure to keep in touch will result in you being dropped without hesitation. That last bit going for active members as well.


Unlike the first one, this tournament is not free. There is a $13 entry fee. This fee can be made via PayPal to. Please include your Source username along with your payment. If you'd like to or need to pay the entry fee via another method, message me and I can try to work something out.

If you're from overseas and have to deal with excessive exchange fees, you may feel free to deduct the exchange fee from the total amount being sent. Simply message me a screenshot to verify. Any other basic fees are at the expense of the person submitting.


You can private message or post your deck hash at any time prior to the start of your first game, and that deck hash will be put on display to ensure fair play. Your deck may not be changed or altered at any time during the tournament. Once the tournament reaches top eight, the full decklist will be required and will be distributed.

For those of you who don’t know what a “deck hash” is, it’s the eight-character code that displays when you load a deck in Cockatrice. It will never change so long as you play exactly the same deck.


Do not share another person’s decklist without their permission. I know many will run their hallmark decks and that many may not care and that it may be obvious in many circumstances, but there’s no reason to aggressively scout this tournament. If someone wants to post about their own deck, feel free to join in. But don’t post about someone else’s sweet tech if they haven’t come out with it first, and certainly don’t message BigDong87 and tell him that he’ll be playing against RUG Delver next round.


Given the environment that the games are being played in, there will be no time limit for the match when it is being played. You are, however, still expected to play at a reasonable pace. If someone is abusing this leniency, report them to me and provide proof, and I’ll work on it from there.


It’s accepted that people have work, school, kids, ladies, and lives that otherwise take place outside of Magic: The Gathering, and that you can’t just pop on whenever you feel like it to take care of this tournament. However, there must be a reasonable point when the round must end in order for the tournament to continue. So, rounds will last four days. That's about half a week and should be enough time to allow everyone to fit in a match around their usual schedules. You you are required to complete your games within that timeframe and are expected to coordinate your own times to play.


There will be no lenience for those who are unable to complete their match in time. Being a Swiss event, one match lagging behind means everyone lags behind, and that is unacceptable. In general, if it becomes clear that a match will not be completed in time, the player who made the most earnest effort to get the match to happen will be granted the win while the player who came up short will be given a loss. In general, I ask that you be gentlemen about such situations. In the event that the players can't agree on a winner, I will be the final voice on the matter and may be forced to issue a draw.


Intentional draws or losses will not be allowed. Players determined to be exploiting the above note will be penalized or removed.


When your match is done, both players must post in this thread to confirm the results.


If you intend on dropping at any point during the tournament, please let me know. I am not a mind reader. Anyone who is not in communication for one full round will be dropped. Anyone who is unable to play for two rounds will be dropped.


Along with being responsible for managing their own scheduling issues, players are also responsible for managing their rules issues. Players can and should keep replays, logs, and screenshots of their matches saved in case of a dispute. If you have a rules question and don’t have cdr’s cellphone, Cockatrice has a link for quick judge answers. (http://chat.magicjudges.org/mtgrules/) If there is a dispute that can’t be solved so easily, as with before, I am the final word.


In the event of a client crash, take a screenshot of as much information as possible and check if the client saved a replay. If a replay is available, use an available and agreed upon member to view the replay and help reconstruct the game. If a replay was not saved, use the screenshots to recreate the game to the best of your ability, and call upon a member to insure that all hands are accurate. If the game cannot be recreated or agreed upon, the players must replay their match. If you suspect your opponent is abusing this policy, report them to me.


Event information is subject to change.

Just a note that you have up until you play your first games to finalize your deck. This was more or less true of the previous two, but I wanted to especially clarify considering that the tournament is set to start the same weekend a new set is released.

Round One
You have five full days. Round ends April 17th @ 11:59pm EDT

Fifteen people means four rounds of Legacy followed by a cut to top eight.


Fifteen people means a choice of Scrubland/Taiga/Savannah/Badlands/Plateau. For the top four.


I will be busy this Saturday all day. This means that I won't be able to get shit done Saturday and therefore there is no point in ending the round sooner than necessary. The next round's pairings will be posted Sunday.


Before you play your first game, you must post your deck hash here.


Both players need to report results either in this thread or via private message.

I feel like there'll be a lot of this going around. Myself included. I promise to bring the spice.

[Sloshthedark]

PirateKing vs Sloshthedark 1-2

[Minniehajj]

Noted.

Anyone irl got a way to poke him?

I'm alive! Sorry, been away from the source due to IRL stuff, totally didn't realize this tournament was catching up on me. I contacted JRS so we should be getting our schedule to play our match figured out, so sorry! I really sent you payment this time!

Sorry folks ;-;

[iamajellydonut]

:V

[Speedbump]

Pro tip for building confidence:

Bring more spice.I was fucking around with Leylines for a little bit, but thought that it was too spicy for this.

[iamajellydonut]

Useless is basically made entirely of spice. I just got roflstomped and 0-2'd.

[UseLess]

I got kinda lucky and had two donuts for lunch. Was tasty :V. 2-0 Against the Jelly! (To give him some credit, I got massacred game 3.)

[Minniehajj]

Still haven't heard from JRS. If we can't play our match by tomorrow, what do we do? I'd be happy to concede to him since my schedule is the wonky one so that's no problem.

[Minniehajj]

I can't get ahold of jrsthethird and I can't play tomorrow at all since I'll be playing in the SCG Classic event so my bad there. Sorry. I'll be conceding to him 2-0.

[jrsthethird]

Ah shit, I don't know where I was Friday that I didn't get your messages. I was away all day today at an EE 1K Qualifier, just got back an hour ago.

Jelly, extension until Monday?

[iamajellydonut]

Gimmie an exact time and sure. Though if it doesn't go down by then, I expect a sacrifice.

[Quasim0ff]

Gimmie an exact time and sure. Though if it doesn't go down by then, I expect a sacrifice.

Waiting for a response from morph as well, I suggested two times today as well as one in the morning tomorrow.

[jrsthethird]

Gimmie an exact time and sure. Though if it doesn't go down by then, I expect a sacrifice.

Nah, I just felt pretty good with my line, but yeah. I could have, possibly, played around it. I didn't and got punished :)

Good games.

Game 1 was closer than you gave credit for. I just drew better in both games.

[iamajellydonut]

jelly vs PirateKing. 2-1.

Game one I got good and vigorously pummeled, but games two and three I just kinda had the cards that did things.

Also, we had a conversation about Eternal Weekend. Does anyone know if it's even still happening?

UseLess 1

[UseLess]

Jepz, I ran out of spice. Ate it all the first round apparently. Lost 1-2 against Fry in some intense games. Time to do groceries and refill my stock for R3 and R4!

[taconaut]

Taconaut 2-0 over TheArchitect - his deck was also sweeter than mine, but I got some excellent rips on a mull to five.

[TheArchitect]

Lost to Taco 0-2 in 2 fairly embarrassing games.

[TheArchitect]

TheArchitect 2-0 over Bye. It was some very close games. I'm just glad my deck finally performed well enough to get me a win.

[taconaut]

Man, Bye has been having a rough time of it - I wonder what he's running?

[Dice_Box]

Lost in the Woods combo. It's a brew and it ain't good.

[UseLess]

Always great to be paired against friends :/. Won 2-0 over Etched Champion in rather anti-climactic games. But he won the third! (Which was also an anti-climactic game...) Glad I get a shot at T4 and got some spice back, but a shame to kick out a friend. Let's hope I have some spice left for the final match to reach T4 (I'll refill after getting in).

[Quasim0ff]

I survived the onslaught!

I won 2-1. Good Games, Pirate :)

[PirateKing]

Betrayal by my one true love, most bitter!

Seriously game 2 was outright nonsense, RNG gods were like fuck this one thing in particular.
Game 3 was fun though, back and forth, good trade of resources. Just couldn't get it all in time.

Come on Bye, I'm ready for you!

[jrsthethird]

I punted my match royally to jelly 2-0.

[iamajellydonut]

Come on Bye, I'm ready for you!

I mean, Bye hasn't reported in yet. Could be that TheArchitect is falsifying information and you may have to play him next round instead.



I punted my match royally to jelly 2-0.

:(

1:00am is a bitch.


Also, for anyone despairing or wondering, since it's such a small crowd and since intentional draws are forbidden, by my quick mental-math there should be three 2-2s in the top eight.

[Etched Champion]

Sadly true, 3 of the most boring games ever, lost 2 0

Also, I'm going to be a bit busy for the next few weeks due to job hunting (I just got laid off) and don't think I'll be able to continue my pursuit with the Jelly Jam (plus, my deck is miserable).
So hitherto I concede any further rounds! Sorry Jelly, I just can't handle the pressure I guess!

I'm one of the innovators of predictable miracles here on the source, so toss any questions my way if you have questions regarding the list. I play something completely different now, and this list was a very poor choice for this event =P.

P.s. by completely different, I still mean miracles, of course =P

[iamajellydonut]

Man my breakers are shit!

I'll do my best to thrash Fry for you. Especially since, if I don't win, I'm looking at equally shitty breakers, too. Totally not being helped that by the fact that two of my opponents are playing each other in the final round.



2 Predict

As someone who loved Predict back when Field of Dreams was the best and only combo with it, I respect your choice.

I kept the spice flowing. Got some good hands g1 and g3 while Morph was facing mulligans and less good hands. Not too much to else to say. I won 2-1.

[MorphBerlin]

UseLess 2-1 MorphBerlin

3 rather unexiting games I would say

[iamajellydonut]

Got it 2-1 over Fry and his Imperial Taxes.

Game 1 he landed Magus that shut off shuffle effects for Sylvan Library and he just overloaded me with beats.

Game 2 he had all the hate in the world including a Surgical on Punishing Fire and he had an Umezawa's Jitte on the battlefield, but he couldn't stick a creature long enough to get a swing in.

Game 3 he had double Magus and cast a Leonin Relic Warder that ate Mox Diamond, but Dark Confidant and Tireless Tracker drew me into colored sources too quick for him to take advantage of the situation.

Woke up 1h30m late for the match. In hindsight, trying to play at 4am probably wasn't a great call on my part.

I'll leave the walkover call to Krasman.

[taconaut]

Hey Slosh! Sorry, I was on a trip this weekend. I'm in EST and work standard business hours (I think you're six hours ahead of me?) so when might work for you? It might have to be some sort of arrangement during my lunch hour or something.

Also, you have the worst luck when it comes to being paired against overseas people.

Last three has been +8, +13 & +18 hours different or something like that; maybe I am the odd one out being in Canada...

On another note, Tireless Tracker seems pretty good in Jund.

Also me and Speedbumb should be able to get together tonight to play.

[iamajellydonut]

The round will end tomorrow rather than tonight.

It was supposed to end today at midnight my time, but a number of people have expressed concern regarding their ability to complete their games in time. So, there will be a 24hr extension. However, after that point, if there are still outstanding games, I will need concessions so that the proverbial ball can keep rolling.

I'll shoot all those affected by this change a private message once I'm not relegated to using my phone. Because damn is it tedious putting in all those names with a swipe-keyboard.

[Sloshthedark]

a painful truth indeed... ggs though


decklist revealed, that's unfortunate... I'm an easy pray this season, punts all over the place, interface hates me (and I hate it ;), criminal (in)decision making, well it's been 4 years since I owned this archetype... my friend is quite successful with the RG version, but since I'm an old school player I don't like his kamikaze comboplaystyle (hence the deckname), I had an opportunity and borrowed it for a 80ppl tournament, the deck felt awesome and I punted away the top 8 spot with a similar version...

I have a friend with something very similar to this, he plays a Grapeshot in his version though.

[Etched Champion]

Not the most fun game, i just drew all the hate possible which kinda locked him.
Won 2 - 0

[Krasman]

And my deck took a giant http://horsesass.org/wp-content/uploads/poop.jpg on me.

Lost in 2 games to Etched Champion.

[Krasman]

I have a friend with something very similar to this, he plays a Grapeshot in his version though.

I find the Shaman of the Pack is actually all you need; in current version I have cut the Craterhoof as well.

Does your friend have an account on here?

[UseLess]

Jelly was a bit spicier this time than last time, but timely Ad Nauseams that were kind to me and sealed G1 and G3. I had two donuts, Jelly had one. Mine tasted better :V.

2-1 vs the Jelly.

[iamajellydonut]

http://horsesass.org/wp-content/uploads/poop.jpg

Sounds about right here, too.

Games were much closer this time, but UseLess still got there 1-2. I'll update this thread a bit when I get home tonight.

[Speedbump]

Xth: Speedbump - "Imperial Taxes"Get that Imperial Taxes filth outta my decklist. :mad:

If you really want to ham up the title, how about "Manliest deck in Legacy"? :tongue:

[Fry]

It's not Filth, you're just salty that you didn't have the gumption to run it. :cool:

[Speedbump]

It's not Filth, you're just salty that you didn't have the gumption to run it. :cool:No Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning or Price of Progress?

Not a deck. :wink:

fiiiine...

[Speedbump]

fiiiine...Xth: Speedbump - Goblins

Acceptable. It has all the Goblins that actually do things, unlike the other Legacy deck that has them. :laugh:

Also, Morph, I've flicked you a message as to when I'm free.

[Fry]

I find the Shaman of the Pack is actually all you need; in current version I have cut the Craterhoof as well.

Does your friend have an account on here?

No he doesn't, but I directed him here just a few minutes ago to check it out.

[iamajellydonut]

Xth: Speedbump - Goblins

Acceptable. It has all the Goblins that actually do things, unlike the other Legacy deck that has them. :laugh:

If you had objected to "Goblins", next up was "Mono-Red Fireblast Combo".

[Speedbump]

If you had objected to "Goblins", next up was "Mono-Red Fireblast Combo".Mono-Red Fireblast Combo is probably not far from the truth.

Might sign up my next Burn decklist with that title.

[taconaut]

Ever the bridesmaid, never the bride - lost my match for prizes (as usual) to Fry after I misplayed turn two (two!) of the first game of the match. The second two games were TNN for me, and then Mirran Crusader for him to clinch it. I think it was secretly because he had four more moms in his deck than me on today of all days.

[Fry]

I got game 1 from him going first and turn two Pulsing my turn one Mom. SFM got in the beats from there with the opener Batterskull and ther tutored Jitte, then I got a latter SFM for the SoFI

Game 2 he's on the play and turn 2 TNN gets there

Game 3 I get Crusader turn 3

Games 2 and 3 were full of protection stuff, and over all pretty interesting games.

Fry: 2
Taconaut: 1

[Speedbump]

Speedbump vs MorphBerlin is happening tonight.

Makes a change, not having to account for 12+ hours time difference.

[Speedbump]

Mono-Red Fireblast Combo gets there 2-0 against MorphBerlin

He was unlucky in both the match-up, and having to be on the draw in G1. Also, possibly unlucky in the fact that I had Goblin Guide and Price of Progress at all times in both games. Better to be lucky than good, they say. :laugh:

Cheers for the games, and best of luck in the next one of these! (Assuming jelly can be convinced to run another)

Confirmed, one day just once I want to play against a Burn player who does not have at least 1 Guide in his statring 7...

[UseLess]

I love Ad Nauseam and it gave its love back. I won 2-1 over Etched Champion with 2 turn 2 kills using Ad Nauseam in G1 and G3. Last one was pretty tight and almost killed myself, but a reveal on a very needed petal gave me the win. G2 I got massacred by Ethersworn + SFM + Thalia.

[Etched Champion]

still one of the most boring match-ups, d&t vs ant, either one just can't do anyting.
Useless won 2-1.

[iamajellydonut]

beep boop.

Stuck at work with company. Will be making posts and responding to messages when I'm not here.

[Speedbump]

Speedbump vs Fry will happen at Wed 7:30pm EST.

Assuming that Fry doesn't get his revenge on me, I'll only be free that night, and Thursday night. Will be off for a few days, and uncertain as to if/when I'll get internet before I return.

[UseLess]

I'm the finalist of the other bracket and I could play Thursday if we start between 17:00-18:00 EST because my time zone is CET (+6) and otherwise it will just be too late for me. For the same reason, Wednesday after your match won't be an option for me. How long would your trip be?

I would be gone Saturday morning until Tuesday evening NZST, assuming that I have no internet access.

[iamajellydonut]

Saturday morning until Tuesday

br00tal

I mean, if you guys genuinely need more time and are both ok with taking a bit more time to finish up the top 4, you're more than welcome to it.

p.s. It just dawned on me. Are you guys literally on the opposite sides of the earth from each other?

[UseLess]

No, I meant that CET is +6 hours on his time zone (CET = +2 GMT). Anyway, he needs to win his match against the Imperial taxes first anyway. It was more to have an idea of how long he would be away. Tuesday next week would work fine with me.

p.s. It just dawned on me. Are you guys literally on the opposite sides of the earth from each other?Yeah, most matches against EU people tend to be a bit of a timezone clusterfuck. New Zealand is usually 10-14 hours ahead of Europe.

Of course, when Fry beats me tomorrow, none of this will matter. :laugh:

[Fry]

Useless, if I beat Speedbump, I would be good at 17:00 Thursday EST.

Just need to beat the ridiculous Gobo Burn pile now. :wink:

[UseLess]

That's a deal Fry ;).

I didn't realize Speedbumb was located in New Zealand as he mentioned EST times. In that case we are indeed at opposite ends of the world. Speedbump, I could play on my Thursday morning (your Thursday evening?), under the assumption I get out of bed early enough and the time zone things work out. I'm a bit unsure at the moment how that would work out for you, so just post here if that plan would work for you.

This should match up to 9am CET, if that works for you.

I normally mention GMT or my opponent's time zone when communicating, so sorry for the confusion beforehand.

[UseLess]

No problem about the time zone confusion. 9 AM CET on Thursday is too late for me with respect to work. In case you win, let us aim for doing the finals after your trip.

To both of the half finalists, good luck and have fun! May the best man face me in the final showdown for that awesome Jelly alter ;).

[Fry]

I lost miserably in game 1, but for games 2 and 3, little white dudes got there, a nail biting game 3 though... Yikes!

Fry: 2
Speedbump: 1

I got my revenge from the Swiss loss.

G1 was a stomping by me, G2 was a stomping by Fry. G3 was a stomping on me by my deck. XD

Great games though, and best of luck with the finals!

[UseLess]

Well, gratz to Fry! Let's hope I can do the same as he did: take revenge for the beating during swiss ;). Fry, I sent you a message for the final time arrangements.

[Alex_UNLIMITED]

Another tournament to which I haven't participated because I haven't seen it on this forum. The next time you must put a message on the top of the home page, so more people can see it.

[UseLess]

Fry and I clashed down to the final game and it was worthy of the finals. Game 2 and 3 were two of the most epic games I've played against D&T with storm, and with storm in general. The atmosphere was friendly and the tension real, but in the end Ad Nauseam awarded me again and I saw a sweet play with Chain of Vapor on 2x Petal and 1x Chrome Mox to up my storm count. I took the finals 2-1 over Fry! MVP: Ad Nauseam.

I confirm, he got the play due to the seeding, and won the first game before I got to do much of anything...

Game 2 was pretty crazy and I Flickerwisped his Dread of Night to swing for lethal with Magus of the Moon and SFM.

Game 3 was insane, I got mom turn 1, Jitte turn 2, equip turn 3 bash, turn four bash face for 5 with it and play Wisp on one of my lands... Mean while he's wrecked my hand with Therapies. I had him dead only if he didn't see the play with the bounding his free mana with Chain.

I loved the edge of your seat games of 2 and 3... Especially game 3 due to the Chain play that I've only seen once before... Only would have been better with a win :rolleyes: for the Taxes

2 UseLess

Useless comment; next time, take a deeper look at the threads.

[iamajellydonut]

"Ah, what a week I wonder how the thread is doing and how the semis are coming al-"

aaaand you're done. And while it's a shock to see as much, I'm glad my demise wasn't in vain. Grats to UseLess and their (presumed) Taiga. I'll be PMing the top four in order for picks.

Also, a poster sent me a message last night offering something to each of the top 8. When I hear back from them and if their offer is still good, I'll let you guys know.



take a deeper look at the threads.

http://i.imgur.com/h78bQzO.jpg

deeper and deeper...

waaay... waaaaaaay down...

In fairness though, I probably could have advertised a little better. I'm still ok with how it turned out, but I'll try to insert bumps in more mainstream areas next time as well if I can.

[taconaut]

Either way, many thanks for organizing it, Jelly! I had an excellent time playing with Sourcers, and am excited for Round #4, which I intend to run with a deck that would make Muad'dib go, "damn!" :D

[Speedbump]

Congrats on winning it UseLess, and commiserations on second, Fry.

Cheers for running the tournament iamajellydonut, it's been fun as always!

RIP whoever has to post anything to me though.

EDIT: iamajellydonut, is your name a reference to "Ich bin ein Berliner"?

I'm going to hire a man to deliver it via canoe.

And it's totally the JFK speech. Alternatively I use religious extremists and sound effects as my screennames.

Must be dust colored then. I'm excited to see this here brew of which you speak. I'll be trying out something new too... One must look deeper, past the surface to peer into the depths below.

[Sloshthedark]

Turns out Useless isn't useless at all!:tongue: Congrats!

Seems like a reasonable thing to make as a username, especially as it's quite a funny gaffe. At least you didn't name yourself after something that gets run over.

For the next one, I'll be on something other than Fireblast combo. Will be bringing in all the spice.

As the finals were coming to a close, Plague Sliver (aka James Hsu author of Magic: The Addiction) messaged me and asked if I wouldn't mind him adding something to the pool. I've waited this long to announce it because I'm greedy and wanted to read it first, but now you can have my sloppy seconds. The book, as best I can describe, is the coming-of-age story of every competitive player that has walked this earth. Although it took me a while to get through since I had no opportunity to sit down and read it in one go, I did chew through it as fast as I could, and even anyone who's lurking could probably stand a good dose of it.


This is a link to the thread regarding the book. It even has some of the original posts if you care to scan through.

[Plague Sliver]

@iamajellydonut -- thank you for the excellent, heartfelt review of "Magic: The Addiction." I KNEW I found the right guy to read it!

To the participants --

I felt really strongly that I wanted to contribute a little bit to the tournament. You guys are playing in this for the love of the game, and Legacy in particular, so I couldn't help but chip in.

This forum -- the Source -- has been such a huge part of my life over the past 5-10 years. I'm not super active in terms of posting, but all the guys that helped me with my Legacy decks over the years -- from Nitewolf to sdematt to Lemnear to Bryant Cook to countless others -- were Sourcers. I have both versions of the playmat. I have met great people like cdr at GPs and tournaments. People connected because we all love Legacy. That's what matters.

The book talks in some detail about the power of the online community, and The Source is specifically name-dropped with impunity.

Once you receive your copies, I would love to hear your thoughts on how you enjoyed the book. What worked, what didn't, etc.

Cheers
James aka Plague Sliver

[Minniehajj]

Big thanks for organizing this! Wish RL wasn't in turmoil when I was trying to play it in, but I have a job now so hopefully this works out in case there's every another one! And congrats Useless!

[Speedbump]

Savannah made it safe and sound to New Zealand!

Now if only I didn't have a potato for a camera...

I can't wait for the next one!

Dammit I thought this said Canonists and was so confused.

I received my cards now as well. The alter is really funny, thanks a lot! Once I get some other alters from a commission I'll post it in the awesome altered art thread. Now go and host that 4th Tournament. I got a title to defend ;).
