CRAP! I forgot to save some more money to bribe customs! hrmp .. ok lah. Add in 4x Tarmogoyf's la

OMG just came back from an EPIC Legacy tournament. Got some shots of 43land.dec mirror as well LOLZ will post soon.

These are just a few pictures taken at yesterday's legacy event in London. 1st Prize is 4x Force of Will and 2nd is a DCI Sol Ring.

total of 13 players came sporting all sorts of decks.

The format is insanely fast and fun and I personally recommend everyone try it out!.

Turn 1 play by 43land.dec




His opponent's turn 1 play .... OMG ITS THE MIRROR!



Board Position after a few turns



Yeaps. That's his Graveyard.

My 4th round opponent playing affinity.

He goes turn 1 Worker

I go turn 1 Mytical tutor

He goes turn 2 Ravenger attack with worker

I go turn 2 I win





I'm sorry about the glare but couldn't be helped with my crappy phone camera. Also I was rushing here and there trying to win the tourney. Didn't win. Made top 8 and got some boosters but bah! really wanted the Forces.

Top 8
2x 43 land.dec
1x Threshold
1x Goblins
1x Iggy Pop (mine)
1x S1
1x Affinity
1x Dead Guy Ale

I would at least think of adding 1x Careful Consideration. I play a typical UB Control deck and though I don't have Lens or Relics to acelerate (I run 26 lands) careful consideration is a must .

Fair enough. I only run 2x Careful Consideration because Aeon is in my opinion a subpar card in a control deck. Yes you get to draw and that's nice. Yes he is a huge creature (Usually 7/7 or 8/8) but the fact is, when I want to find that all important early Damnation, Careful Consideration is the card I want to see.

Also its saved me so many times its not funny anymore .

IE: Turn 6, I've got 5 lands down and I've missed my sixth land drop. I'm facing lethal on board, and have 1x Terror in hand. So I tap out for Careful Consideration, Find the Damnation and the land I need and Terror the creature before dmg is on. Wrath the board next turn with counter mana up.

I agree with Camlok. UB + R for Detrivore in the mirror is evil.

Which version of the deck are you playing with Camlok? Some builds have taken out reactive cards like Rune Snag in favor of a more Proactive approach with Shadowmage Infiltrators (Finkel's). I still run the old skool. My meta is very aggro so I usually pack 4x Rune Snag (must use with caution vs GU Control Aggro) 3x Remove Soul, 1x Pact of Negation. (can't afford cryptic commands sadly)

We should play MWS. PM me as I'll be free during the weekends and I'll test the control Mirror.

Thats given free to everyone who attends worlds in New York.

It was used before in competitive tournament during the Wake days. with decree of justice.

Those promo's are sweet but the new Judge Promo is better
Its our old favorite .... Force of Will ! The first foil version ever.

Just got my Damnation in the mail. Will sell it instantly for Goyf money haha

Damnation in the UK will always stay about 7-8 GBP (RM49 - 56)
Firstly its only printed in Planar Chaos and secondly it will be a must have for the extended season 2008 - next rotation.
Also it seems that Wizards didnt' (F - up ) the numbers of Damnations . During the last MPR, ppl in the UK got like 20 FOIL WOG even when they only played 10 tournaments ..sigh ... now their dirt cheap. Somebody picked up 4x on UK Ebay for a low sum of 13 GBP (RM91) ...

Its one of the top Tier decks and its certainly good. Pro ?Good vs creature based decks which rum rampant now.

Bad? Suffers a little to Control but then again if you play the cards just right you can still beat them. Heavily dependent on sideboard.

Does anybody know what Legacy decks the M'sia contingent took to Worlds 2007? Personally quite disappointed at the coverage. More shocked at the fact that 2x 2-land Belcher managed to take 2x Japanese players to top8. A deck every Threshold deck can deal with ... Anyway I Digress.

Lol sounds fun but from the looks of the field which many ppl say was filled with Stax. Doubtful

They all play 4x Ghostly Prison anyway.

Added on December 9, 2007, 1:16 amAh no wonder . Its true. Belcher is a fun deck and fast but its hardly a stable choice as its too easily disrupted. Hopefully they do post it up.

Dragonstorm decks are stupidly good. The results are proof of this. Only 6 people in the entire tournament were playing this and 2x got into the Top 8... I'm still lost for words.

Anyway Makeshift isn't a bad deck and infact still has a good chance vs Dragonstorm. You can always board in discard in forms of stupor etc and you have venser to bounce their Spinerock Knell so you still can beat them. The new dragonstorm isn't as stable as the last one so sideboard well enough you'll beat it.

Can bring portable TV ma right ? Besides its a good way to distract your opponent if his a fan as well.

Yes maindeck needles in UB Teachings is ABSOLUTELY VITAL!

Treetop Village will murder you. UB teachings isn't dead but it isn't as powerful as the other decks in the format. Take for example Mogg War Marshall. This is the card I hate to face when I'm playing teachings because it hits you for 2 and if you kill one your still getting hit. This isn't Ravnica anymore where people just play a few key creatures (Scab Clan Mauler) and ride them to victory.

Everyone in UK is getting ready for extended season and all I can say from their testing, Flow Rock, Noob Stax, Countertop Goyf are all tier one because of bloody Geddok Teeg. Since I couldn't make it for PTQ KL (sadly) i'll be heading up for the extended one on 5th Jan.

try 5c Zoo . Nothing beats the feeling of swinging for lethal on turn 3

Turn 1 Isamaru
Turn 2 Boros Swiftblade , Swing with Isamary
Turn 3 Swing Boros Swiftblade and Isamaru cast 2x Geas' Might for the win

(In an ideal world that happens a lot)
