1.5 comming back to Champaign, Illinois

[Isaac]

I am proud to announce that with the help of armored gopher games Champaign IL is having another 1.5 legacy tournament. I am hoping that this will continue later on but we will see how things turn out. So for now hears the goods.

October 20th at armored gopher games. http://www.armoredgopher.com/joomla/index.php

^ Official web site ^

Armored gopher is located at 75 Chester street Champaign IL 61820

For addition info you can either contact them at (217) 366-3266 or call me personally at (217) 485-3535 ( ask for Isaac )

Prize support is based on players. 16 players are recommended for the prizes. If not enough people show there will be less prize but I still plan on giving away the duals.

Registration starts at 10am and the tournament will start at 11am. Prize entry fee is 10 dollars- this will be a sanctioned tournament so a deck list is needed. There will be some available if you didn’t bring one in advance

Prizes
1st two underground seas
2nd one underground sea
3rd – 8th packs of lorwyn

I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Tight, I'll probably be able to make this one. At least I hope so. Good to see Legacy coming back to somewhere close.

Tomarrow is the big day. Dont forget if you don't have anything else to do. I'll also make a note to post results from the tourny and turn out.

Decklists?

[Anarky87]

Nate and I decided to play the same list, and this is what we ran:

4 Tropical Island
4 Underground Sea
4 Flooded Strand
3 Polluted Delta
3 Wasteland

4 Nimble Mongoose
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Dark Confidant

4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
3 Mental Note
4 Force of Will
4 Daze
3 Spell Snare
3 Stifle
3 Ghastly Demise
2 Smother

3 Engineered Plague
3 Counterbalance
3 Sensei's Divining Top
2 Krosan Grip
2 Vedalken Shackles
2 Pithing Needle

This was by far the most powerful deck at this tournament, I believe. Granted it wasn't much of a test sample, but there were no games that I felt completely owned in. I beat burn, Goblins twice, and the Thresh mirror. The deck performed fantastically all day.

I was playing the Ugr threshold as mentioned with this decklist by Makuta Eiji.

Main:
4 Tropical Island
4 Volcanic Island
4 Wooded Foothills
3 Flooded Strand
3 Wasteland

3 Werebear
4 Nimble Mongoose
3 Tarmogoyf
2 Quirion Dryad
4 Force of Will
4 Daze
4 Brainstorm
4 Serum Visions
4 Mental Note
3 Spell Snare
3 Lightning Bolt
2 Fire+Ice
2 Stifle

Sideboard:
3 Threads of Disloyalty
1 Spell Snare
2 Stifle
2 Engineered Explosives
3 Naturalize

I played the Ugb version 3 times twice against nate and once against anarky87. I don't know why but it seemed that post board I had the advantage. I beat nate both times post board and then lost to anarky in both games. Id say overall the decks are almost 50/50 with post board maybe in my favor 55/45.
