Hey guys,

I'm very proud and happy to finally announce Magic Online's latest in community leagues: The Legacy Mediocre League! Our league is all about showcasing the amazing format that is Legacy. All of our competitors are long-time veterans of not only Type 1.5 (as it was called upon its creation) but Eternal Magic in general. Our aim is to not only bring you great entertainment on top of some mediocre education, but also to draw new people into the community. No matter whether you’re a seasoned pro looking for diversification (you hear us, Olle?), a Modern player looking to make the next logical step, or new to the competitive scene as a whole — we’d be happy to see you in the stream chat or at your next Legacy tournament!

The LEGACY MEDIOCRITY LEAGUE is a weekly round-robin Magic: the Gathering tournament bringing you 36 matches of Legacy over the course of a 9-week regular season. Players are ranked by their win/loss record with the best possible result being a clean 9-0 sweep against the field. After the regular season is over, the three players with the best record advance to the play-offs, with the top seed receiving an automatic berth into the finals. Both the semifinals and finals are best-of-five with each player fielding three different decks in a king of the hill format.

We are live each Friday with 4 matches starting at 2pm PST / 5pm EST / 11pm CEST. Because there’s 9 players, one of them is sitting out each week. Note that because of the Legacy GPs in both Europe and the US, we are skipping July 10th.

https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/jtv_user_pictures/panel-122952298-image-f959fbca75b1fa64-320-320.png

Missed out on this week's action? Catch up with your favorite players via our YouTube archive (http://youtube.com/CeterumCenseo85). VODs will be uploaded shortly after each week's show finishes.


Our entire team is really looking forward to this. We've been working on this project over the last two months and I'm really happy to see it finally come together. If you like, it would be awesome if you could spread the word not only via Twitter and Facebook but also at your LGS and all your paper friends!

[Echelon]

SIEGE RHINOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

And some small letters b/c rules.

[Havrekjex]

1000 style points achieved for Mega Man graphics. Also, this kicks off tomorrow, yeah!

[mistercakes]

thank you for playing doomsday!

[btm10]

This is going to be sweet. I have something to stream on my commute to FNM now.

[Ancestral]

doomsday !!!! sweet, thanks lejay !!

[Kathal]

Lejay, you are my hero <3

But than again, I root for THE Tin Fins man, cause our lord and savour Griselbrand will banish the evil called Miracles (which no one plays ^^ ).

Greetings,
Kathal

PS: I have to watch the VODs, since I have no time tomorrow :(

[jrsthethird]

Disappointed Tim isn't Sneak Man. I was gearing up to hear some Taylor Swift during the game.

[Lejay]

I feel I have to give some details to avoid people expect too much and face disappointment in the first match. I am playing 2012 Doomsday (was called "Last Level Doomsday" back then so can't really change it, duh !). I am certainly rusty with the archetype so I preferred playing a list in which I had full knowledge on why a slot is here or how to sideboard. Only a few slots would change anyway and it's kind of an historical decklist since it had the highest performances for doomsday. I didn't have time to both prepare well for the GP and build an update for DDFT, but I felt doomsday was clearly the deck people would appreciate seeing the most. If I face a very tough spot with the deck and fail please forgive my rustyness.
I was told deck's information would remain secret until first match, so I have to say I am a little disappointed I won't be able to do the "look like miracles trick in my very first game". Especially now that I see my first opponent plays 4 main deck cabal therapies. :P

[Echelon]

Are all matches going to be uploaded to YouTube?

[Tvox]

Snacks are stocked one hour ahead of time! But...



[...] Note that because of the Legacy GPs in both Europe and the US, we are skipping July 10th. [...]


... shouldn't it be June?

[Scott]

Yess, I get to watch Time Spiral resolve in Doomsday in a matter of seconds.

[Barook]

Pretty good for the first try. But some thing could be improved:

1) Music between rounds. I almost fell asleep during the waiting time for the last match.
2) Aspect ratio - IIRC, only the last match looked fine.

[Julian23]

The aspect ratio is also something that's bugging me a lot. We're looking into finding a solution for the next stream.

Check out the VODs that have been uploaded to Yotube by now: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhAJZyLBTDL6GvxgQcOUQNtoXC0gGNSs3

From our week#3 review (MATCH SPOILERS!):

As week 3 rounds up, a pattern has emerged: Tied for first place now are Jean-Mary “Lejay” Accart, Julian Knab, and Joe Lossett, all of our “J” names. The secret is out, we’ve found what it takes to be good at Legacy at last! Closely following and tied for 4th place are our previous top ranked players Brett Jayne and Romario Neto, joined by Tim Akpinar, and at the bottom, tied for 7th, we have Danny Batterman, Dayv “Sunyveil” Doberne, and Caleb Durward. Caleb showing us he CAN win a match, and against a bad matchup too, defeating two leyline of the void and a chalice on one with Tinfins in game two, while Joe got to finally play an interactive round of magic … sort of — finally making it to a Game 3 at least. Lejay showed us all how the Storm vs Nic Fit matchup is supposed to go, easily dispatching Danny even after he sided in 4 force of will for game 2, and in an unexpectedly grindy match, Julian showed us to keep our priorities in mind when dealing with hate, and the importance of having a gameplan and seeing it through.

Here's the Week#3 VODs (only the 1st one embedded since the forum software only allows for 1 video per post):

From our week#5 review (MATCH SPOILERS!):

With week #5 behind us, the league is now half over. This week we witnessed the birth of a new Gatewatch, as Danny’s Planeswalker Control deck imprisions the Eldrazi once again, driving home the last nail with the sacrifice of Jace (and now his watch has ended…). Brett, for a second week in a row now, plays in the Griselbrand mirror, which make his Show and Ttell’s a liability; having to switch over to the slower sneak and breach plan, loses to the slightly faster instant speed Reanimator deck from Caleb. Tim shows us the best way to win a game after punting, in his heavily favored Reanimator vs Nic Fit match, and Joe puts enough pressure on Lejay to force him to go for it, and he gets there, Doomsday taking down Tezzeret in a quick and agonizing finish.
This leaves us with Julian and Tim tied in first place, with Joe and Jean-Mary close behind, tied at 3-2. Caleb with a mediocre record of 2-2, both of our Veteran Explorer players at 2-3, and fighting for their lives, but still in contention, Romario and Brett tied at 1-3

[the driver]

Really enjoying this gentlemen. I've been trying to tune in but always catch up on the VODs. I prefer some commentary over others but I'm sure it's different for others. Just wanted to pass along what is largely a positive experience. Hope this keeps going for several seasons.

[Julian23]

Thanks a lot, driver. Really happy to hear that! :smile:

https://i.redd.it/om3pzkqm6e9x.png

With week#5 in the books, we're now about to enter stage of survival of the fittest, where one more loss will potentially put some of our players out of Top3 playoff-contention. Others are looking to increase their lead over the field, hopefully setting up for a couple of win-and-in matches over the next week.

May the odds be ever in their favor!

Jean-Mary Accart (Doomsday 2012) vs Brett Jayne (Sneak Show)

Julian Knab (Elves) vs Joe Lossett (Tezzerator)

Caleb Durward (Tin Fins) vs Danny Batterman (Planeswalker/Cube)

From our week#5 review (MATCH SPOILERS!):

Lejay found an opportunity to relive the doomsday on Innistrad, being annihalated by Brett’s flying spaghetti monster before he has a chance to set up. Unfortunately for him, there was no Jactice league to contain Emrakul this time, and he falls to 4th place; meanwhile Julian and his Elves fare better than Glissa’s party while it navigates the artifact infested world of Joe’s Grixis Tezzeret deck, taking him down in 3. Danny on Planeswalker Nic Fit sets up to play the long game against Caleb’s Tinfins, but instead dies in agony on turns 1 and 2. Romario hopes to follow in the footsteps of his more successful Eldrazi lords this week but gets spanked by a quick Griseldaddy backed by powerful countermagic. This leaves Julian and Tim tied for first place, followed by Caleb in third.

With 0 doomsday’s cast, and both Reanimator decks taking a collective 10 turns in total this week, we’ve finished at a record pace this week of roughly 90 minutes.

The Legacy Mediocre League returns next Friday, July 22th. Be sure to catch us live on our Twitch channel (http://twitch.tv/LegacyMediocreLeague) or one of the Video’s on Demand available on YouTube (http://youtube.com/CeterumCenseo85) after Friday’s live-stream.

Here's a teaser for week#7. Hope you don't mind Danny's giraffe cosplay or Dayv wearing an oversized suit and shoulder pads :cool:

[Hanzalot]

Hi guys,

Just wanted to let you know how great this series is! Great players and very funny/friendly/knowledgeable commentary.

I am really enjoying seeing it so thanks for the great work all of you!

Hans

[Julian23]

Hey Hans, thanks a lot for your feedback. It might seem like just a short comment, but it really means a lot to me :-)

http://s623881501.online.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Week7.png

From our week#7 review (MATCH SPOILERS!):

With week 7 now on the books, the rankings are shaping up with Julian alone at the lead, now having back to back win-and-in’s weeks 8, 9, and 10. Will he be able to pull it off and make it to the championships? Probably, he’s not very mediocre after all.

Week 7 was a bad week for Cabal Therapy; being the primary interaction for Dayv against Caleb’s Tinfins list, it acted exclusively as vampiric tutor for Caleb leading to a few quick attacks for 22 and the match.

Soon after, Danny found himself in a similar situation but managed to pull off the game one win against a bad matchup by resolving 4 planeswalkers against Brett’s Sneak and Show. With 14 cards from the sideboard coming in, he still struggled against a resolved sneak attack, but game 3, through a combination of counterspells and Brett dealing 18 damage to himself with his manabase and phyrexian spells, eventually got in there with two veteran explorer beats for the win.

Round 3, Lejay mulligans to 3 and loses to t2 thought-knot seer, t3 reality smasher (swing for 9), t4 activate mishra’s factory, swing for 11. Game two didn’t fare much better, with Romario having T1 Thorn of Amethyst into turn 2 Thorn of Amethyst. Having found 0 answers to them, and Romario immediately sticking some threats, Lejay succumbs to the hate and takes his fourth loss.

Round 4, Tim has a choice to discard griselbrand of tidespout tyrant in a hedge to draw either show and tell or exhume. He bins the tidespout, then draws exhume, and Julian has an opening to glimpse into a shaman of the pack kill before tidespout can get there. Game two Julian has a timely surgical extraction for T2 Iona, Shield of Emeria, lands deathrite shaman and scavenging ooze to invalidate the graveyard strategy, and then topdecks craterhoof behemoth to kill Tim on the spot and take sole possession of the top seed.

This leaves Tim and Caleb currently tied for second place with only 3 more weeks to go.

Here's the Week#7 VODs:

Julian and Romario are in minute 600 or so of an epic Elves vs. Eldrazi game 1.

Running a little late with this week's update, so here we go:

Joe unfortunately couldn't make it this week because he's about to kick some ass at the Pro Tour in Sydney. Instead we made Caleb play his Week#9 match in advance in order not to disrupt our 4 matches/week schedule.

[ChrisDissent]

Hi !

First, thank you so much for this super exciting League that I really enjoyed every single game. Legacy really needs those kind of initiatives at the moment. Can't wait for the next round !

Question : when will the playoffs decklists be revealed ? Friday night or some days before ?

[Julian23]

Hey Chris, thank you so much for your feedback. Makes me really happy to hear that you've been enjoying our project :-))) Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. We're not going to reveal which decks will be played until the matches start, so it's gonna be a surprise to everyone. We're publishing decklists right afterwards though!

Also, check out our flyer for the playoffs :-)

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CpqoFwnWcAAjIHG.png:large

[Barook]

There should have been a "No Miracles!" rule in place for the Top 3.

There's nothing more boring than watching grown-ass man who pretend to be Wizards with fucking cardboard spending HOURS spinning an imaginary dreidel.

This is what Legacy has become. Fuck.

[Megadeus]

The miracles mirror was abysmal to watch. Had to turn it off. Jund having active Bob, ultimating Liliana twice against miracles then losing to derp entreat for 4, then mulling to 5 game three and getting stomped. Fucking complete misery.

[Barook]

And now we're getting another Miracles mirror. Way to ruin the season finale.

[CalebD]

Well,

1- Miracles was under-represented in the swiss, esp considering it's the #1 deck in Legacy.

2- Anyone trying to win this tournament was going to put Miracles in their three deck gauntlet. If you didn't, you weren't trying to win. Miracles is that good.

3- The reason we had a lot of Miracles matches isn't just because we all chose it, but also because it kept winning.

So long as Miracles is the deck to beat, Legacy will have a coverage problem. Implementing our own house rules seems like an ok solution on the surface, but at that point we're no longer playing Legacy.

So long as Miracles is the deck to beat, Legacy will have a coverage problem. Implementing our own house rules seems like an ok solution on the surface, but at that point we're no longer playing Legacy.

I mean I get it. It's not like it's your fault the deck is good and boring too watch. It's just bleh. Maybe I'm just disenchanted with the format

There should have been a "No Miracles!" rule in place for the Top 3.

There's nothing more boring than watching grown-ass man who pretend to be Wizards with fucking cardboard spending HOURS spinning an imaginary dreidel.

This is what Legacy has become. Fuck.

Disagree with no Miracles, but agreed that it was beyond boring watching Lilianna vs Top. Fortunately, youtube has the "play this 2x faster than normal" option.

Edit: Spoke too soon, coming up to the 41 minute mark I've had enough. Sick format yo!

actually Ive enjoyed the Miracles games, including the mirror, a lot especially if commented by competent people

Well,

1- Miracles was under-represented in the swiss, esp considering it's the #1 deck in Legacy.

2- Anyone trying to win this tournament was going to put Miracles in their three deck gauntlet. If you didn't, you weren't trying to win. Miracles is that good.

Jeez Caleb, hope you didn't dent your floor when you dropped that mic. Bravo.

After all the Miracles arguments we've had, having someone swoop in and spell out all the problems with it so succinctly is almost jarring.

TinFins FTW !

Thanks again for that wonderful idea of a Legacy league. Really hope you'll soon go for a season 2 !

I can see why Miracles games could be boring for experienced players, but it was super interesting to watch, especially as I'm a new Legacy player, and because it was very well covered and explained.

Great job !

Thanks for putting on a really entertaining series. I definitely hope there is support for a second season.

Feedback in no particular order
-I loved the format of the season and for the playoffs.

-I typically enjoyed the european commentating but must say I never muted Brett / Caleb.

-I didn't mind the Miracles MUs. Caleb summed it up.

-It was nice to get to watch "deck experts" pilot their decks (e.g. Julien w/ Elves, Caleb w/ TinFins, etc). I know there was feedback for more competitive decks, which I'm not necessarily disagreeing with, but I think it would be also nice to maintain representation from Fringe/tier2/whatever you want to call them decks. In the hands of experts they could show well and would be entertaining to see MUs you don't often get. Not sure how feasible it is but a thought.

There are other ideas but ideas are easy and work takes work. Thanks again to everyone involved for putting in the time and producing something for the community. All the criticisms are dwarfed by that.

Cheers

Julian and team,

I enjoyed watching the VODs. Thanks for producing great content, and I hope to see some more Storm-based combo next season.

Commentary was fun to listen to, enthusiasm was there, well done.

Tin Fins master race :3
Congrats Caleb, and eager to see the next season of Mediocrity!
