First time playing Legacy since I T4'd Super Sunday Legacy at GP Kyoto - got myself a nice Tundra by taking down a local tourney last weekend. Still using Lejay build; thought about replacing Leyline with a Containment Priest, but stuck with the basic list. Shardless is really strong right now multiple tops in 100+ attendance tournaments recently (but just not a FotM deck atm for some reason haha).
Round 1 vs Chalice Affinity (W 2-0)
First game Decays made sure that he was not able to get Ravager and Plating online which resulted in my Goyfs taking over. Post board Null Rod gave me a pseudo turn 2 win.
Round 2 vs Miracles (W 2-0)
I had all the answers (and then some) due to my insane CA. Second game I had a disruption heavy hand of two discards and a Needle. Stopping Top that early plus some Shardless Agents appearing equals an easy win.
Round 3 vs BUG Gro (L 1-2)
This is basically BUG Delver except using old school Gro star Quirion Dryad instead of Tarmogoyf, trading consistency/immunity to bolts for potential (Also had a pair of Lorescale Coatls - I would have liked to see some Chasm Skulkers though!). All three games I was down on lands due to timely Wastes. I made a mistake in life calculation during the third game which cost me the match. For some reason I thought I still had two more turns if I take 4 from Sylvan. Dumb haha.
Round 4 vs UWR Blade (W 2-1)
Two wins was due to Visions just ramping me way ahead. Lost a game to TNN going all the way and Library not being able to find me an answer.
Round 5 vs BUG Delver (W 2-1)
Unable to draw in, had to play this one out. First game he wins the Wasteland battle and I am unable to find a Decay to stabilize. Next two I basically Visioned him out of the game. I actually was able to cast 4 Visions on the third game (thought one was Forced and another one was on garbage time)!
Qf vs RUG Delver (W 2-1)
First game I took some early Delver beats but he didn't have a bolt so Deathrite went to work. Second game was classic RUG - I never even got to two mana. Third game he had a lot of disruption but no early clock - once I got to three mana safely it was all but over.
Sf vs BUG Gro (W 2-0)
Rematch! First game Quirion Dryad quickly grew bigger than my Goyf to 6/6 but got decayed. My Goyf got decayed too but I was able to CA him out. Second game was epic. I was able to snipe his tech Kira using Thoughtseize and he sniped back my Maelstrom Pulse - which was extremely relevant as he had 3 DRS out by the third turn! By the time he ran out of DRS damage fodder I was down to 8 life with my Goyf just dancing between 1/2 and 2/3. I wasn't able to do much due to Wastelands stranding walkers in my hand. I decay one DRS which brings me down to 6. Another blue cantrip was used and now I'm at 4. I had a decay in my hand but it was not yet time to use it. Luckily we both drew lands for two turns. Still not enough black mana for Lily but I was able to cast Jace. Did some bouncing around to make sure one DRS is summoning sick (if he topdecks a cantrip at that point I am likely dead). I decay the other DRS. With Jace now down his last loyalty counter I was finally ably to topdeck a fetch for the second black mana. Lily kills the last DRS and then Jace (fate)seals me the game.
F vs Elves (W 2-1)
First game I made a game ending misplay by being a zombie and suspending a Visions which made my Force impotent. Died to Natural Order two turns after. Second game Meddling Mage was able to stop Natural Order then NoSB + Toxic cleans it up. Third game I had a facepalm moment - my T2 he has Forest, Cradle, DRS, Heritage. My plan: Waste his Cradle, Needle the DRS. I play my land. Look down and see a fetchland instead. Wtf. Good thing I had a Force for his T3 NO kill. I waste his Cradle afterwards and then Goyf stomps.
