Just 7 of us in Cardiff for Legacy FNM, although some old returnees and new faces among us. This month we had a bit of change in our usual decks. Whilst the online meta is sometimes over populated with the best combo decks, paper normally brings out fairer decks. Today it was once again combo heavy though, although not much in the way of storm style decks again (unless you count last month’s Yorion enchantress winning with storm count storm crows off of Murmuration as the wincon, we haven’t seen a deck winning with storm in months, which is rather different to online). There was a time when you would always see a storm deck here, doomsday too. Maybe they haven’t heard about the bauble ban.
In no particular order, today we had Breakfast, Elves, Mono R Painter, Delver, Dimir Reanimator, Mono Red Prison and Eldrazi.
Top of the shops was Breakfast on 9. Not a huge amount to say about this- it is a very good deck, Nadu is very good, and Thoracle is still winning games.
Painter was a clear second on 7. This wasn’t an especially radical build- a few tweaks/pet cards here and there in an established shell. Mono Red prison made it to 6 (Blood Moon is still making life unhappy for those wishing too cast spells), and Eldrazi a respctable 4. The others all pulled in at 3.
