Glendale? Awesome I am in Santa Barbara. I will see you at SCG LA legacy side event.
Went 3-3 at local event today. Dropped the SFM's for a E. Tutor, Rector and faith's fetters.
Beat eureka/show and tell, beat merfolk, lost to u/g 12 post, lost to american delver, beat worldgorger reanimate, lost to mono g 12 post.
12 post is a terrible matchup, dont worry.
Twelve post is not worth the slots needle and some well placed discard is your only hope you just have to suck that one up.
Oh, cool! If anyone else from here is going to be at the SCG LA event in a week we should meet up.Quote:

Painful Quandry
Crucible of worlds
Batterskull
Reanimate
Experimenting is always cool with NicFit. Personally i have more fun with NicFit decks then their non NicFit counterparts (eg Jund, the Rock, BUG Control).Quote:

Crucible of worlds - Not sure about this card, Life from the Loam is another option to. Personally i think it is to cute and clunky. You would have to build a solid engine around it. Also to be wateland proof NicFit runs 6 basics so it doesnt really matter.
Batterskull - wins on its own. Very strong vs burn and delver decks (and whatnot), but now that Siege Rhino has kicked Stoneforge out of the mainstream lists i dont think you want a non zenithable "creature". Thragtusk, Sigarda and Titania are there too.
Reanimate - might be fun to steal a random Griselbrand or whatever. But NicFit has better option when it comes to self recurring. Recurring Nightmare or Volrath's Stronghold. The thing with NicFit is you can play EDH style, but best consistancy is gained when you are not screwing around and focus on your main plan.
Hope it helps.
Forgot about recurring nightmare, somehow... thanks very much and I agree with you about nether void.
I'm actually going to post this here as well; I'm involved in an informal Legacy tournament on XMage and I'm playing Junk Nic Fit! If you want to watch me fumble through an entire tournament full of janky builds, here you go!
Round 1: 1-2 vs. Tezzerator (video incoming)
Round 2: 2-1 vs. Pox (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbBt4rQFnfM)
Round 3: 2-1 vs. Artificier Combo (no video, the deck uses Helm of Awakening + SDT + Altar of the Brood to infinite combo out, with a plan B of Salvage Titan beatdowns)
Round 4: Coming up this week vs. Soldiers
All comments are welcome, I'm still pretty new at the deck. I know in that round 2 video I should have been actively grabbing Explorers to let die to Tabernacle and get Sigarda online as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately Sigarda doesn't stop Tabernacle if that is what you were thinking, Tabernacle says to destroy the creatures that you don't pay for and not sacrifice.Quote:

T-minus an hour. Look for "Legacy Everyday Eternal Stream" by Sdematt on Cockatrice.

Would it be possible to get a link? I assume you'll be playing Rhino fit?Quote:

-Matt
Yeah, I wasn't aware of the new Oracle text on Tabernacle and how it technically gives the ability to my creatures. I think it still would've been the best strategy, though, as the deck has no problem paying the tax for whatever creatures it wants to keep.Quote:

I played this tonight at a LGS (Friendly Troll). 4 rounds, 3-1 or better makes money... well, store credit.
R1: Brian with BURG delver. 2-0
R2: Kevin with Reanimator. 0-2
R3: Anthony with Tezzerator. 2-0
R4: Kolt with BUG Delver. 0-2 (he conceded since he was 3-0 already)
About right. Kevin went turn 1 discard, turn 2 exhume both games after winning the die roll. G2 i went first turn top, he went Careful Study discarding Griselbrand. Second turn cabal therapy naming exhume, but he had 2 Reanimates too. I flipped top hoping for another Therapy, or one of my 4 Explorers, 4 GSZ, 1 Shaman (so 12 outs out of 51 cards). Didn't get there.
The difference between the delvers was that Kolt had a low curve, had a turn 1 delver, and just wasted, stifled, pierced and dazed everything. I was always 1 land short of getting back in the game.
Tezz seems like a fairly easy matchup. It's slow and grindy, and we just do it better.
But this was my first time running this pile (Caleb Durward's last BG list from CFB videos).
Meh. Could have gone better.
Yeah, you coyldve run Junk :p
I might next time. :)
