Well, let me start out on the happy note that I totally scrubbed out in a ten player legacy tournament. I could argue in my defense that I had no clue what the meta would be like, but then again, that'd be a waste of time.
I went 1-2-0 with the following list:
Not Quite Anything
~Mana~
10 Plains
3 Ancient Tomb
1 City of Traitors
4 Flagstones of Trokair
4 Chrome Mox
~Stompy~
3 Exalted Angel
2 Savannah Lions
1 Isamaru, Hound of Konda
2 Serra Avenger
4 Silver Knight
1 White Knight
4 Mother of Runes
2 Mask of Memory
1 Sword of Light and Shadow
2 Sword of Fire and Ice
~Control~
2 Armageddon
3 Cataclysm
1 Magus of the Tabernacle
4 Swords to Plowshares
~Weird Stuff~
2 Shining Shoal
4 Mana Tithe
Sideboard:
1 Armageddon
1 Cataclysm
4 Trinisphere
1 Abeyance
2 Disenchant
4 Ghostly Prison
2 Suppression Field
In my defense, I had no idea I was going to be in any kind of tourney. This pile of...well... 'unfocused awesome' is what I ran. Obviously I am trying to build Angel Stompy, but due to a shortage of cards, that turned out to be rather difficult. I even went to the store to specifically buy/trade the missing pieces (but somehow it seems Razor Golem is not ranked high in the trade department and therefore generally left at home), but it turned out on location that the players were one man shy of ten (and thus the two Tundra price support). Showing my Superhero Hamsterness, I decided to just see where the deck would take me and have a good time.
We played three rounds and then a cut to T4 would happen.
The meta looked like
1 Red Control Burn (chalice at one, burn cc2+. Did not play against it, but had a talkthrough with the player. Ended fourth.)
2 Aggro Loam (GRB, both builds ran devastating dreams and seismic assault along with teravore and Goyf for the kill. Draw via Confidants.)
2 ***** (GUb and GUr, taking second and third respectively)
1 GB Homemade (Confidants, Goyf, Sinkhole, Specters...Kinda Eva Green)
1 Rock (WGB. Sinkholes, wastelands, Goyf, Confidants. Took first place)
1 Solidarity (Possibly the worst build of it ever. Resets all main, no Think Twice, ... went 0-3)
1 Red Death Variant (Sinkholes, Discard, no negator though)
1 Random White thing (that'd be me)
The games went pretty quickly though
Round 1: Aggro Loam
G1: My notes reveal I am frighteningly outmatched by a huge teravore and never see a Plowshare.
G2: He gets a double Loam going (to recover from my Geddon) but cannot keep a creature on the table or cycle land often as I have a Suppression Field down and a Ghostly Prison to protect myself a little. He deeds for 3 (paying 5). He proceeds to play Seismic Assault and throws a lot of land to my face eventually. Ouch.
0-1
Round 2: Eva Green Variant
G1: I win via Exalted + Mask of Memory pretty quickly.
G2: I die to Hypnotic Specters wielding Jitte. Ouch.
G3: I beat down with a White Knight having a Mother of Runes down. He dies to his own Confidant upkeep (Shriekmaw).
Round 3: Rock
My notes on this one are pretty clear.
G1: He's at three life, goes Deed + Goyf. Awesome play, I cannot recover in time.
G2: Deed + Deed + Deed + Goyf + Confidant. Ouch.
In all, I had a pretty nice tourney.
