Hi this is Shane. Glad you like the deck. To answer your questions Minamo saw some use. I love when people look at it and say "do you even have any legendary permanents in the deck". As for the reins i diddnt get to cast it. The one progenitus deck i played boarded out natural order. I diddnt draw it, but it would have won me the mirror match i played. I had a lot of fun there, all in all it was a pretty good trip to Binghamton.

This tournament was awsome. I was very glad to see 8 rounds of play and was fortunate enough to come in 18th place playing Ugwr Cb/top (I was the only 17 pointer). I played 3 Divert in my sb thinking there would be a fair amount of burn/removal but they only really helped me in one match (Zoo?) and it won game 2 single handedly with cb/top winning g3. The only bad part of the day was my one and only loss (1-0-1), to a very rude person. I don't mind loosing to decent people, but loosing to rude people leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

The Legion was awsome with their decently priced food/drinks. It was a nice change from the typical tournament food prices of like $6 for a hot dog =/ I drafted for the Mana Drain, but to no avail. I wish it could have been a Legacy play-off or something since that's what we came to play. I can't wait to attend the next tournament in November? Eli's events are always awsome. Thanks man!

Decklists recieved; expect a 2 day delay for a good metagame breakdown.

Yeah I realized the top 24 booster draft was a bad idea when I held a legacy tournament with that concept as the top 16 prize, but I scheduled this tournament back in September and didn't want to change the format on this late date so I stuck with it. The next Lotus tournament is November 14th and thank you again Zach for doing coverage.

That November tournament looks like a blast, Eli. I can't wait. From what I've heard and am seeing from this past event, it looks like everything went awesome.

I have a question:

How should I classify rock (GWB) lists? They have stuff like Hypnotic Specter (which makes me think it's aggro) but at the same time runs shit like Vindicate and eight to ten discard spells.

Eva Green is Aggro (or at least that's what I'm calling it). Mono black aggro is aggro. Deadguy is control, though (or aggro control).

Let me put it like this: I'm doing four piles. Aggro control, Combo, aggro, and Control.

Just tell me where you guys want 3c rock, please.

Also, while we're at it, how do you call Enchantress? Combo or Control?

If they look anything like Brian Kowal's deck from GP Chicago then I would have to say aggro control.

I have to disagree with you on Eva Green being aggro (since I think its aggro-control) but I won't quibble too much.

Thank you for doing the metagame breakdown.

EDIT - Enchantress is a combo deck with some control elements (put it under combo).

And I'm calling Zoo an aggro deck (even Naya builds).

I'll toss up both Control and Combo tonight, then I'll get my hands dirty with Aggro and Aggro-control tomorrow.

Are Top 16 Decklists available for this?
