To my knowledge, yes. At worlds I lacked 2 Taigas. Thats why the list had a Stomping Grounds.Quote:

I keep reading about Counterbalance. I don't know how much of it is actually there but I have a feeling Legacy might see a banhammer.
Sourcers (or, in one person's case, ex-Sourcer) who are 4-0 right now (that I could recognize):
Rich Meyst (furt), Geoff Smelski (konsultant), Scott Blumenthal (VsTheWorld), Brian Deifendorf (Ewokslayer), Dave Caplan (goobafish), Dan Signorini (nitewolf9), Ben Lukas (Forceofwill), Calosso Fuentes (calosso).
Best of luck to everyone. Keep up the wins!
Banning Counterbalance would be among the most stupid things Wizards could do - it's about the only thing that keeps combo in check right now.Quote:

It's not that I don't think he deserves the victory. But these are the kind of moments in Magic that make my toes curl.
Rick Argiro (Jander78) 3-1
Geoff Smelski (Konsultant) 5-0
Bob Kochis (Raider Bob) 3-1
Team Left Field!!!!!!!!!
GO emidln !
Konsultant is 5-0, and finished his fifth round quickly ? I guess he isn't playing his Landstill today then...
Here's rooting for you all the way from Belgium, emidln. I'm hoping one of your matches gets covered.
And then Brandon just won. No, don't ask me how. It just happened. I think it involved Doomsday. And yes, I had to look this card up.
Yeah, that's probably what it would sound like.
41 Jacob, Michael A 12 vs. Signorini, Daniel 12
feature match here would be nice...
...but...
44 Romão, Carlos E 12 vs. Scott-Vargas, Luis D 12
Apologies to all, but I'm still working through the CB thing. What a delicate interplay between the comp rules and penalty guidelines!
Here's what I've got:
The CB triggers, and its controller puts the trigger on the stack. Then, because he said nothing about retaining priority before announcing Brainstorm/SDT, the shortcut, "Whenever a player adds an object to the stack, he or she is assumed to be passing priority unless he or she explicitly announces that he or she intend to retain it," kicks in. Then, after resolving the Brainstorm/SDT, the CB player moves to reveal the top card - which is when the Judge gets brought in. The Judge's investigation reveals that the shortcut has kicked in, and so the CB trigger has already resolved - both players passed priority, and then the Brainstorm/SDT was played. The Judge now has to resolve a Missed Trigger violation. Since it's a 'may' trigger, the situation is simple to handle - the CB player doesn't reveal and no penalty is issued.
I guess the “You forgot to trigger it again” quote in the coverage led me down the "Yes, of course it triggers, WTH" line of thinking. And now I realized that he was just taking a shortcut. :cool:
So, now my argument is reduced to bitching about competitive play at a competitive-level event, which we all know is a complete non-starter. :ug:
gogogo sourcers!
Still, it is seeing a lot of play and I wouldn't doubt that Wizards could do something like it.Quote:

So does anyone else think Wizards may schedule yearly Legacy tournaments now, and/or give the format more official support? 1,230 people would seem to indicate that the format is well received if not somewhat popular.

Anwar dropped and it's cool Pinder and Krieger travel half-around the country to play each other. Ewokslayer is playing at table 7. Brassman (Andy P) is doing great; Konsultant is kicking ass; Menendian took a tumble; Team Reflection is in good position to make Day 2 (Jesus Roxas (table 53); Rich Shay (87); Rich Mattiuzzo (80)); Di is playing at table 186 (not terrible); Jesse Hatfield (Mad Zur) is much worse off. Dave Elrod (table 121) is a couple spots down from Ob Freely (table 113).
Glad to see a number of new england/new york people doing so well.
