He blacks out everything on the card except the main object/person.Originally Posted by Guy I Don't Know
Yeah, the fatigue is real. BBD f.e. did not remember if he had drawn a card from probe in the finals.
I guess that tells a short story.
What is next; do you people think Julian is also a cheater? He did win a lot with elves and attacked with a sick elf under camera. Must be dirty no?
I still think he is as honest as they come. Same with Ross and Schönegger : they just clearly play their deck better than anyone else atm.
My round 2 opponent was playing Mono-Green Bears.
Literally all 3 games he played a Forest and passed, then another forest and a Beta Grizzly Bears.
Yes 3 games... Turn 1 Blood Moon doesn't to a lot against Mono-Green Bears.
I did pick up a set of foil Chrome Mox though, so all of the standard 8-Moon permanents are foil and the foily-ness of the win-cons vary.

Tell me bears won?
He won the die roll and led with a forest and passed the turn. A shitty basic forest from a new set too, so I knew right away he wasn't playing a real deck.Tell me bears won?
I swore out loud because I kept a Blood Moon hand.
I drew and played my Blood Moon.
He played another forest and then tapped out for a Grizzly Bear.
I played CotV@1.
He played another forest, played some stupid 4/2 bear, and attacked me for 2.
I played a Jitte.
He plays Bear Umbra on his stupid 4/2, attacks for 8, untaps his lands and plays another stupid bear.
I'm pretty sure I drew a land and picked up my cards in disgust.
Games 2 and 3 were entirely under my control. We finished our round in 20 minutes and I got some fried chicken and fries. The chicken was clearly 2 different types of frozen bits. The dark ones were tasty and the light ones were rock hard and awful.
So you won?
Also, they talked about the guy playing Bear Tribal on the SCG stream, but to avoid having people play nonsense just to get on camera they didn't put him on...

guy was fucking awesome.
he was wearing a full bear suit.

I wanted to share a link of AJ Sacher playing against counter grizzly but the video is now deleted. :(

You very likely can build it without spending any money, just out of what you already have.
An example with my (very large) list in a visual form
Yeah, I won... if you want to call it that. I went 1-3 drop, then waited in line for an hour to sell 30 cards to SCG.So you won?
It was still worth being on the road for (a total of) 5 hours though. I've never been to something like that before.
My opponent wasn't the bear-suit guy. Before we started game one, he said he wasn't a Legacy player and this was a list he saw online that inspired him.
So much fail.
If somebody pays for the tournament entry, then they can play whatever deck they want if it's legal. And if they are respectful to their opponents and abide by the tournament rules, then what's the problem?
I think it'd be *awesome* if SCG encouraged people to play wacky, fun, interesting, and outsider strategies and made an effort to put these on stream. We can watch the Delver vs. Show and Tell vs. Storm vs. Elves vs. [Tier 1/1.5 deck] matchups in the later rounds and Top 8. Let us have more fun watching wacky games like Battle of Wits vs. Slivers, or Thallids vs. 100-card Highlander in the earlier rounds.
People that play these decks obviously have no real intention of going all the way and winning the tournament, but at least they'd be a hell of a lot more fun to see every once in awhile instead of Random Spike Metagame Net-Decker #471 vs. Random Spike Metagame Net-Decker #867.
This should probably be it's own topic. But I think most people who watch these streams would agree that highlighting the diversity of Legacy would be more interesting than focusing purely on the relative homogeneity of Tier 1.
Airing any match he's in would be entertaining for 30 seconds... or until you sober up.
The proper way to show him is to pan the camera over to the wacky guy in a bear costume from a distance, point and laugh, and continue covering real Legacy.
I'm all for showing tier 1.5 and 2 strategies, but not tier Bear.
Gotta set that Chalice at 2 to beat the Bear deck ...
Totally agree.
What was the point to see Tom Ross and again TOM ROSS few minutes later?

Jersey was awesome. I have about 4 pages brainstormed of stories, reports, and thoughts that'll get posted in the next week or so.
The point was that he actually plays really good and after 15 rounds a Miracle mirror would put people to sleep. Oh, and SCG probably wants to promote their circuit players.
Yeah, it's funny, but then all these people will come out of the wood-work doing ridiculous things to get on camera and we'll never see real Magic. Now, if the guy came in a bear suit and went like 7-0 and they had to put him on camera, that would be the best thing ever.Airing any match he's in would be entertaining for 30 seconds... or until you sober up.

When I lived in New York a friend of mine went to a Vintage tournament wearing an Ape suit playing Belcher. He played Brian DeMars, who wrote that he was pretty confused in his StarCity article,

In a better world SCG would pair one or two of their commentators up someone who actually knew legacy/legacy history. SCG commentators knowing who random SCG grinder #100 is but not who Lam goddamned Phan is makes me sad.
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”
-David DeLaney
I think I could do it if I wanted to, I've played "Legacy" since it was Drains, Shops and Bazaars and still travel to events all over. Unfortunately, I know Lam from losing to him repeatedly.
To answer all the questions; Lam blacked out all his cards to force himself to keep them. He had a habit of trying to get value out of trending cards, and consequently not having some to play with when needed. Cappy told him ones like Force, Bstorm, Goyf etc. Would never be worth unloading, and Lam knowing how ADD he is, did that so no one would ever buy or trade for them. He has been playing that same damn deck since before the split.

CDR, can you elaborate on who Lam Phan is? I'm not familiar with Magic history.
