Thread: [GP] Atlanta (Legacy format)

    Re: [GP] Atlanta (Legacy format)

    According to the stream, Mad Zur lost his win-and-in :(

    He can likely fight tiebreakers with the other 36 pointers for 8th, though.

    Edit: Also, Sheldon is SO MUCH better at interviews than Hagon.

And it wouldn't be too hard to protect him in counter-heavy build.

    Once the information is out, can someone please tell me when Top8 matches are about to start? I don't have enough bandwidth to watch the stream but I've got a friend ready, willing to do live text coverage for me.
    The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
    1. Discuss the unbanning of Land Tax Earthcraft.
    2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
    3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
    4. Stifle Standstill.
    5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
    6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
    7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).

    And Black is out. What a shame.

    But what I didn't get: Why did Black leave his mana open so often while he could have used it to pump his Carrion Feeder via Grave Crawler and later Lingering Souls? It's not like he had spells to cast or needed to leave mana open for Daze. And with a bigger Feeder, he would have been in a way better position.

    First off that was Sam Black, second there was a Grafdigger's Cage out.

    It was just a part of Nathan Holt's "Walking the Planes" episode. A good series as long as the viewer has a sense of humor.

    They're on YouTube, I think. Worth watching, imo.

    I think this GP will help people think a bit differently in regards to tunning decks. And that no lists are set in stone.

    Vapor Snags in Giest Delver, Thalia in Goblins, Karakas in Re-animator. Would love to see the top 64/32 lists. Oh and Ban Delver.

    Don't feel too bad they had a high level judge commentating the match. First he says "Why didn't he Spell Pierce that Blood Artist?" Then he was asking why dude didn't flashback Lingering Souls...

    I hope Majors wins, if only because I really dislike the lands in front playing style.

    I played Magic in the 90's too, and I saw very little of it even back then.

    True that.
