do you keep against reanimator game 2?
my thought is you have all the sideboard cards and your matchup is bad anyway...

Are you on the play or draw? Is it UB or RB?Quote:

If they reveal Chancellor, you lose both Surgicals and don't have any graveyard control. Are they on the Thoughtseize/Unmask build? On the play, not playing anything tells them you have at least 1 Surgical Extraction. Thoughtseize will show you have 2.
But with Quirion Ranger, Heritage Druid, and Nettle Sentinels, it's pretty tempting to trust in the Heart of the Cards.
Would 100% keep vs RB Reanimator. Mulliganning this would be a huge failure. It even beats their turn1 on the play with Chancellor-backup.
Against UB, we need more information. Are on the play or on the draw? What does the rest of our SB look like? Do we know whether they have Show and Tell?
Huge congratz Julian
You did again!!
Looking forward to seeing the report and if possible the side in side out.
Let's break the format guys.
its UB reanimator, with Hapless Researcher and im on the draw.
agree 100% here. One piece of advice I received from a good friend who was much better at gaming in general than I am: when your opponent makes an action, such as killing a creature, you should assume they have a plan in mind. In this case, there was almost no downside to returning the bayou but even if you had a basic forest in hand; I'd still always return the bayou--because your opponent was counting on that wasteland in his strategy and even the smallest amount of disruption to his strategy is a win for you.Quote:

So if you stop his wasteland activation and kill his delver--he probably loses (or at least the chances of you losing drop dramatically).
anyways, great example--I like discussing corner case scenarios such as this.
I cannot wait to get busy with elves starting with the scg team event..
it's our second worst matchup in the format...things aren't getting much better. If you draw a forest card in turns 1-3, you're off to the races...Quote:

so yea, agree with Mr. Knab.
I keep Vs Br Rea sure but Vs UB it's difficult.. You in how discards?
Julian just reading your report and after the event would you wish you did something different with your list..?
I was poking around on Reddit and read some whispers about a Legacy Elves Discord channel. I'm old and out of touch and had no idea what Discord was.
So I downloaded the app and now I'm a little lost. Do any of y'all have access to that Discord channel? Can you confirm its existence? If so, how do I get into that thing?
If it exists i would also love an invite.Quote:

Maybe someone else can share an invite to it.
Played my MKMS Frankfurt list in a League tonight, finishing 5-0. It's been a long while since I felt this confident in a list.
Congrats as usual. MD is the same, although I am still flirting with running 2 Birchlore's. Any reason why 2 Birchlore may not be ideal?Quote:

julian, you are running 61 cards....... nice:wink:Quote:

If there is so much or the spagetti monster and other combo flying around (storm, reanimator) i think 4 cabal is pretty good because it disrupts them as much as possible so we can go off.
Julian used to run 61 in the last Legacy challenge, but I'm only counting 60 here (my counting sucks, but I did count multiple times).Quote:

Hmm, I might be returning to Elves!. I have a lot of catching up to do though. And some brewing to do. Might want to test a build without Cradles (in favor of even more critters) and with a Vizier of the Menagerie.
