MTG LEGACY GENERAL

If you meant where was the punt, see every play by the miracles guy, and oran not surgical extracting STP, not hard summoning marit lage game 2.

Pocket chocolate

Good to see that even people in big tournaments do the same basic mistakes I do all the time.

When was that? I missed it.

in the semifinals match vs dnt. even sloppier play by miracles that game but at one point he did bust out of his pocket an already open half eaten candy bar and fucking chow down

lmfao

That vintage finals man, what a wild ride.

>never watch vintage before
>dude's opening hand has an almost guaranteed turn 2 win combo
>other guy reveals his hand, plays about 15 cards, making everyone discard their hands halfway through this convoluted process

A remnant of a more enlightened time.

That hardcasted emrakul was the cherry on top.

That harcasted newmrakul you mean

So what decks does Veeky Forums think are going places, and what decks does Veeky Forums think are going nowhere fast?

I'd guess hatebear builds are in the former category. So much redundancy, even if the new bears aren't nearly as good as the old ones. And Storm is in the latter category, unfortunately.

second.

Ban Hexmage

>going places
Anything with creatures

>going nowhere fast
Anything with mainly artifacts and enchantments

The depressing thing is that, though I'm a dirty combo-player and that's not likely to change, I really like prison and control decks, too. I got into Legacy by means of combo staples, though, and I'll be more than a tad flusterstormed if the whole archetype gets nuked.

Is it just me or do most control players also enjoy combo more thab other aechtypes and vice versa?

That's not as sweet.

Maybe a little bit?

I'm a controlfag, but there's decks in every archetype that I'd like to play.

It sounds stupid, but some decks have a certain aesthetic that makes me interested in them. Something about how the deck functions as a cohesive whole, and each card has its reason for being included that is part of the larger strategy.

I think what it really is is that I'm a huge Johnny.

I see what you mean, just from what I've seen online a lot of control players seem to have a hidden combo love and vice versa. Perhaps the couple of examples I've seen have just been ingrained in my mind

look at the bright side: you're not modern storm. you've also got some loving with dark petition recently.

The card isn't black

Its color identity isn't even black for EDH.

>checks top8
>checks the tournament meta

Yup. Still a terrible time to be an Elf.

I think it's primarily because combo is a good finisher for control decks.

Is Inventor's fair plus crucilbe a decent synergy for an artifact heavy deck ? I was seeing the vintage finals and damn that got me thinking.

What tournament was this?

I feel old for some reason.

If you're losing to combo, it's time to play Miracles

...

It's a cosmic horror kind of creature and thus black.
Kys immediately fucking newfag

>complains about card printed 10 years ago
>"I'm glad I left"

>I'm glad I left
>still lurks the legacy thread on Veeky Forums

miracles doesn't have amazing combo matchups. ANT with a good pilot is probably favored post-board. Delver decks are usually best against combo because they put up a fast clock and have a ton of disruption. Grixis delver especially since you get to run therapies in addition to counter magic

yeah, delver or just a faster combo deck is the way to go

I can't blame him for wanting to lurk in the coziest general on Veeky Forums.

Me and my team mates just coerced the lgs into having a legacy tournament tonight, despite one not being planned. Get enough people to insist it's happening, and it happens. HOW to build a legacy scene 101, by DDFT Guy.

do you guys have a team name?

my old team was called bootyblaster

We're the Trash Wizards.

seems appropriate based on what you've said about them

Also appropriate based on our playskill.

Then in the spirit of the holidays, I'll call for a vote to name to the Legacy General's team.

I vote for "the /dredge/guy Fan Club"

Catchy, but a little bit one-dimensional.
How about team Comfy?

I think it would be cool to have ~6 people playing lich in an open wearing "team comfy" shirts

Team Gaddock Veeky Forums?

Gaddock teej

I'm tempted to play lich at every event I go to but I like feeling like I have a chance to win. Even though i usually don't do too bad when I do play it, and even though it is hilarious, it'd be hard to convince myself to play it in an open.

Now that's a comfy fucking name.

somebody stop me

why would I stop you? do it, man

Where is Oops! All Spells?

the list is not complete. every few threads someone notices one missing. maybe one day it will be complete.

probably rare. I think it's about as obscure as belcher.

I like to think this person bought three verdurous gearhulks, ripped each of them in four, and then sold the parts in four sets of three at retail price.
that is how you business.

>card is clearly only ripped in three parts.
wut.

Quick! What's the spookiest deck you can brew before midnight?

So what do you fags think about SCG cutting out even more legacy events? starcitygames.com/article/33951

You shitters finally ready to play some real formats?

People play formats other than Legacy?

Zombardment. None spookier.

At least I still get worcester. That was the only one I could really make it to anyway. They realize that the northeast is the legacy hotbed. Fine with me. No need to downgrade formats.

Nobody has the money for it, and wizards really wants people to play standard and are trying to have it be more appealing with the Standard Showdown packs.

Well, it's a good thing I play modern as well, I guess.

I know this is a Legacy thread, bit can we talk about how Car Shops is a thing in Vintage?

It's amusing, but that's because i think vehicles are goofy.

Sure, in practice this is the vintage general as well.

Can you share a decklist?

mtggoldfish.com/archetype/vintage-car-shops#paper

Zombie Hunt is the only spooky deck I need. Dredge counts too I guess.

If sanctioned Legacy straight up dies out I'll still play the format with anyone who wants to play, online or off. I don't need Wizards' approval to have fun.

turns out workshop is a good card.

Blade variants will suffer greatly from a new card from C16.

"no"

>he doesn't know what to counter
You played yourself, my nigga.

>going places
Aggro/control depending on the meta. Anyone eeking out value relative to other strategies has access to new printed high value cards.
>going nowhere
Combo decks only get worse over time, as they'll only garner power from counter control cards, of which there are few.

I'm a red mage at heart. Burn, Dragon Stompy, Big Red, you name it. Give me some basic mountains and I'll have a good time.
So my question is, are there any other mono red decks I should know about?

Thanks in advance and keep on tapping those mountains.

>that feel when you want to make a spooky silly Halloween-themed kitchen table deck but don't own All Hallow's Eve.

Buy:
3 cards x 4 pieces each = 12 pieces
Sell
3 pieces each x 4 cards = 12 pieces

Goblins and Skred.
Maybe some artifact build with Daretti.

>Skred in legacy
I'm intrigued. Can you share a list?

>At least I still get worcester.

Wish they'd just put it in fucking NYC so I could at least take the train there.

they do it to keep the riff-raff out.

I know it's not what you meant, but I'd like to see Jody highroller in the feature match area.

You want NYC? too bad go to NJ to play.

I live in northern vermont my man.

Well my legacy event tonight didn't really fire. Only 4 of us showed up. So we just jammed some games. I played a bunch against grixis delver and went something like 6-2. Played a few rounds against reanimator and managed to win just a single game. Didn't get a chance to play against the miracles player but he's new to the deck and i played a couple games against him last week and summarily kicked his dick inside out so I suspect the result would have been similar. I was on a slightly unusual list tonight. 4 Therpay main, 2 duress, 2 spell pierce, no maindeck decay.

As an I, would be sweet to see if I can cast it in modern and legacy

What would he play? I would like to think foiled storm or goblins.

White bordered Aluren with Imperial Recruiter instead of Cheapo Recruiter

Holy shit, every deck i play against on Xmage is D&T and combo decks. Is cockatrice any different?

this is the world we live in now. Thanks WOTC.
