"Flooded beach"

"Tropical Iceland"

"Still country"

lol @ google translation. Not to mention the fact it's not reorganizing the sentence's words, thus making it hardly comprehensible (i had to imagine the sentences in German to somewhat understand them). Better than the original german version which i wouldn't have been able to follow, though. Still, google should use some better translation tools - even babelfish and the likes are miles better.

As for the article, it seems to be a very good introduction to Legacy.

The article is right on a few things, yet wrong at the same time on a few other things.

right:
-timelines

wrong:
-Prototype names
-Prototypes to beat
-missing DS

I'm pretty sure that 'Landquietly' is the best deckname ever :laugh:.

Also, cards = maps?

That's accurate. That's what happened to me after facing it in rounds 4 and 5of the last tournement I attended. I landed quietly in 30th place.

Maindeck engine-talk explosive? That's a strange choice. At least he's playing Force of Wants and Cunning Wipe.

You play Force of Wants in order to be able to retard your opponents, apparently.

A decent, and very entertaining article.

That's nothing compared to the Burning Wipe he has in the Survival build.

This was my first article and there sure will be more in the future. It obviously wasn't perfect and most players on TheSource will probably know everything that's in it. It was meant to be the basis for a weekly series of eternal-articles by my team so that even non-eternal players would know what we would be talking about later.

No DS due to the fact that I wanted to outline the most important archetypes yet not get into too much detail and I felt DS would have been exactly that as it isn't that widely played (at least not in Germany). Note that the article was intended to be for beginners. Nonbasics and nonbasic-hate are a rather advanced topic.

Also the automatic translation rules. :smile:

Edit:

That's nothing compared to the Burning Wipe he has in the TES build.
