Thought so. So it's not an infinte but it's still a fun way to get big dudes out. You usually don't need more than 4 Essence anyway.
It was a small card shop, so we only had 11 people (Myself, a friend who piloted an elf deck, and a new to the game friend who borrowed my burn deck made up 3 slots), but it was fun. There were 3ish serious (ie people who went to Grand Prixs) legacy players there, so I didn't have too much of a chance to begin with, so I'm proud of my placing.
I was running Mono Blue Polymorph (I'll post the list later if anyone's interest). I'm missing a few pieces (Lotus Petal, a second Emrakul [but I borrowed a second one for this, hooray!), that tempest land that taps for 2 for 2 life, and Mishra's factory), but it ran well for the most part. Compared to my typical games, I had some trouble getting pieces or my card drawers(Brainstorm, preordain, etc) during games for some reason, so I'm gonna make sure I didn't lend cards from it to other decks, lol.
Still, I had a blast with my matches. My first round was against the store owner, and she was running Slivers. She won first, I swept up second, then we had one of my favorite matches ever game 3. I got Emrakul out twice and still lost, haha. It was down to the wire throughout.
Still, great stuff. My 2 friends and I were the only non-college or older adult people there, but we still had a blast. Another highlight was my friend's elves versus a Spike deck; he conceded the first match since he saw it would be a draw, and they never finished the second. The problem? My friend couldn't attack due to a card the other guy had, and he was constantly gaining 26 life per turn, with the number steadily increasing. He would have won off a Helix Pinnacle, but time ran out and he played it on his 5th turn afterwards.
Top 4:
Ad Nauseam Tendrils (a good one, not the janky all zero costed stuff build)
Dredge
Uh forgot this one, brb
White weenie (A good one. I won 2-1 against him, but his deck was definitely fun to play against, and he was a cool dude in general)
Legacy Dredge is so lulzy. Play Breakthrough win game. At least Vintage Dredge has the disadvantage of being locked out of mana when it gets Bazaar going. And even good ANT decks still have ~25 0 mana cards - Breaking LED in response to Ill-Gotten Gains, Infernal Tutor, Ad Nauseum, orYawgmoth's WillPast in Flames is just too good to pass up. ANT versus Dredge finals are a clear indicator that nobody in your area owns/can afford Tarmogoyfs though.
Ha, yeah, Dredge is funny.
However, I think the lack of Goyfs was just due to the fact that no one there (other than my friend) was running much green. Since most of the top 4 was comprised of dual land owners, I don't think cost was an issue.
Ha, yeah, he was. He has an infinite p/t combo with Archruid/that other elf with similar mana effect + an untapping equipment that pump, but other than, it's old school elf ball.
He had been playing for a long time and was mostly on hiatus, so he surprisingly didn't run Stoneforge. He had a pretty complete and aggressive deck, though.
Yeah, they are, but they just didn't have any in store. As for the second Emrakul, he just comes in handy when something exiles the other one and/or I simply get unlucky and draw one of them without a brainstorm or see beyond to put it back in.
I'm running all 12 of those plus 2 see beyonds, so yeah, I had crap draws, haha. It wasn't because of shuffling either; I did my typical 4-5 riffles then two or three pile shuffles.
Lol, yeah. It was an amazing match. She really just got kinda lucky with getting out the sliver that let's other slivers sac themselves to destroy creatures. I don't run him in my personal Slivers, though. because I'm in Bant colors.
Anyway, I went to the launch for DKA! I did ok for my first limited event (sealed), and I pulled a Mikaeus (lunarch), Vorapede, and a Past in Flames! I also got a box for DKA, but I didn't pull too much good stuff (IE no Sorin). I got plenty of stuff to make me happy, though.
But how would Emrakul get exiled in the first place if he's pro-colors?
That is strange. You running fetchlands too?
I'm still getting used to all these color allegiances from Alar block...Bant is WUB right?
Cool man.
Good **** Zac.I finally got around to getting judge tested. Did so at a local PTQ with a Lv2. Somehow scored a 100% on the thing. Yay me
Close. It's actually GWU.
He has protection from SPELLS, not abilities on the field. Besides normal abilities from creatures, he can get O-ring'd or Journey to Nowhere'd. He can also be blocked or whatnot if the annihilator 6 doesn't wipe out their flyers.
No, not at all. It's mono blue, and the monetary cost of fetchlands is far too much for the small thinning ability that they create.
Close. It's GWU.
Sounds fun. Zombie decks are pretty fun to play.
Nice, I did the practice test for the judge program and missed one really simple question. I would like to start judging, but I feel that I am not ready to start. Just the fear in the back of mind that I would screw up horribly is there >_>I finally got around to getting judge tested. Did so at a local PTQ with a Lv2. Somehow scored a 100% on the thing. Yay me
Oh, I see. I never fully understood the rulings on that. I can see how a ton of Sliver tokens could be irritating then.
It's really not even about the thinning ability, it's about being able to use fetchlands in combination with Brainstorm to get rid of cards you don't need. If you don't have a shuffle effect and you play Brainstorm, the two cards you put back (which in theory will be your least useful cards at that point) will stay on top of your library and you'll have to draw them over the next turn or two. But if you have a shuffle effect like a fetchland, you can make it so that you have only a very small chance of drawing one of those cards again the next turn, meaning that you're more likely to draw something useful. Aside from color fixing, this is the most important role fetchlands have in eternal formats.
I figured it had white and blue. Those are the most talked about colors at high level play. That also seems like the best color configuration for Slivers if you don't want to just go for 5-color.
Yeah. It was mostly the one that says "All Slivers have 3: Sac this Sliver to destroy target permanent" or something like that. It didn't like my Emrakul, haha.
Ah, that's actually rather cool. I never thought about it like that. I would use the lands, but I lack funds. Same goes for mystical tutor, but it's banned in Legacy, lol.
Yeah, haha, it definitely is. I don't plan on going five color, so it's a good color combo.
Awesome! Who are you on that? :D
GOOD **** ZAC! I really like your deck too. Did you ever actually side in/get to cast Zombie Apocalypse?
I forgot Mystical was banned, my bad. I have trouble remembering the Legacy banned list because it's not my forte. I can't tell you how many times I've looked at a Spiral Tide list and thought "Why doesn't this run Mind's Desire? ...oh yeah...".
I sided in apocalypse once against humans (which is actually a really hard matchup), never got to cast it though. Only have five lands out before destiny killed me.
Hmm, I guess there's not much else you could do to really hose Humans, but with your manabase I just can't see you realistically casting it. Maybe Curse of Death's Hold? That way you'd nail the small humans and the tokens provided they don't have boosting enchantments.
Have you considered a maindeck Reaper or two?
That would be sexy ^ _ ^
