What the heck, real decks winning?! I scrubbed out round 2 vs. 10 min Goblins-build (those have a history of doing well on ML -.-).

eldariel not cry

by Eldariel on 2008-08-14 14:54 MST

Not crying, I'm genuinely happy to see someone playing good decks around here :o

by Lynolf on 2008-08-14 17:01 MST

Man I surely don't understand a thing about Legacy. =S

How does the 3rd deck wins exactly?

by [R]Nchamay on 2008-08-14 17:02 MST

Hm. i have no idea how the legacy format works, could someone explain these decks? well, actually i can kind of figure out the enchantress deck. draw cards and make a bunch of stags correct?

by NanoWar on 2008-08-14 17:13 MST

oO z0MG! Too many cards in Legacy...

by Dr_Nico on 2008-08-14 17:35 MST

Eva green ftw, was going to play it but had classes.
PS: the side looks kinda crappy and 1 seal main is too random, I bet that's why you lost to tresh.

by Xarls on 2008-08-14 17:40 MST

Bien navajita!, quién diría que dominas legacy, aunque veo que tu inglés sigue sin mejorar xD

Countertop owns That black deck, except for tombstalker. That black deck wishes it could play Bob, but tombstalker and bob don't mix well. I'd still consider playing him. -1 seal, -1 tombstalker, +2 dark confidant? and the sideboard for the deck is a little soft on the format. There was a deck pretty much like the black deck on SCG this week. I don't like Hypnotic Specter in legacy play, he dies to everything worth playing most of the time.

You play enchantments to gain control, drawing off Enchantress-effects. Then you eventually run into Serra's Sanctum. Drop Words of War to shoot opponent in the face for 20 (replacing the draws Enchantresses would give you), make a crapton of tokens with Hoofprints or make a crapton of tokens with Meas. If all of them are dealt with, there's always the Replenishes. Enchantress easily draws its library turn 4 or so, and most decks are kold to Confinement-lock with two Streling Groves, or Moat, or just Elephant Grasses. Seal of Primordium and O-Ring don't hurt either.

As for Eva Green, no it doesn't lose to Countertop. Yes, it can be a problem if they can actually deploy Countertop, but between Thoughtseizes, Hymns, Wastelands and Sinkholes, that's a difficult enough goal to achieve, especially since you tend to need to dig for both pieces. And due to Goyf's power, most played removal tends to actually be able to take out any creatures so Hypno's small stature is no problem, and in its present build, the deck runs NO creatures that don't need an immediate answer. Dark Confidant is too slow for it, believe it or not - Confidant plays a slightly different game and this one chooses Stalker to prevent opponent from recoving of the initial flurry.

by Dr_Nico on 2008-08-14 19:19 MST

Eldariel said it all, confidant is quite awfull in the deck and tombstalker is the ultimate mvp against opossing goyf decks.

The thing I like most about Eva Green is Snuff Out :D

by ZW on 2008-08-14 22:21 MST

I like the amount of swamps. 7. A good amount of swamps.

by ChristPunchr on 2008-08-14 22:32 MST

YES- snuff out: possibly my favorite tech removal card ever. I used to rock that card in negatron and hatred all day. So much better than vendetta was...takes out pretty much everything and for four life. Whatever.

While Bob would improve that deck, quite possibly snuff out combines terribly with him, as well as tombstalker.

Ps.

I hate singleton slots, but why is one slot filled by seal when there are three in the sideboard considered random? He was obviously expecting to need a lot of hate and four in the side interfered too much with other slots...stupid logic. Obviously he felt seal would be the easiest to have a singleton of.

by ZW on 2008-08-14 23:11 MST

Hm. Something of note is the basic land count of each deck. I'll provide the rundown:
Deck One, the storm deck: 3 Basic Lands
Deck Two, ravager: 7 Basic lands, probably to power out colored spells.
Deck three, the land destruction based goblin deck: 10 Basic lands, this deck obviously got screwed by the MWS shuffler, as it is the strongest.

by trueeevil on 2008-08-14 23:13 MST

wrong, it didn't run islands.

by ZW on 2008-08-14 23:16 MST

Interesting is how all these decks took advantage of the powerful land + spell combo.

by cm_ on 2008-08-15 03:08 MST

I missed the trial by 3 minutes... *cries*

"What the heck, real decks winning?!"

WTF indeed. Where are the Burn, Sligh, Belcher and Goblin decks?

Edit: I thought that Enchantress deck was familiar: http://www.magic-league.com/deck/39481/solitaire.html#Solitaire58249
But srsly, Vexing Shusher sucks.

by Bereft on 2008-08-15 03:19 MST

Vexing Shusher has been MVP all day long actually :P It won me games against threshold allowing me to pass confinement or any other spell through their counterbalance and I also won another game where I used his ability when my opponent remanded his brain freeze to replay it not allowing him to do so (even though I think I would have lost that game had he drawn somewhat better)

by cm_ on 2008-08-15 03:49 MST

Heh. City of Solitude >>> Vexing Shusher against Solidarity :] ...and Threshold with a) no removal for Shusher and b) a cc=3 spell on top? Baw. A nice surprise factor he is indeed.

by Lenin on 2008-08-15 05:49 MST

Enchantress deck in top 3? well done!!!

by Krejcik on 2008-08-15 07:17 MST

wtf?

No one played B/W Pox?!

and I like Shusher in the sb. Im sorta surprised none of the storm/charbelcher decks didn't use manamorphose or whatever teh f00k that card is called.

by Eldariel on 2008-08-15 08:30 MST

The lists aren't optimal, but at least we have REAL ARCHETYPES!

by Krejcik on 2008-08-15 08:34 MST

Yeah its what I love about Eternal. The fact you get t3's like this and the field is wide open.

and I'm a Pox propaganda machine as I think its super strong and its only super bad match up is burn but thats why Wizard Gods made Trinisphere.

by ChristPunchr on 2008-08-15 09:13 MST

Look at all these whities winning shit on m-l. Where are the chocolate men at, huh? RACISTS.

by Dr_Nico on 2008-08-15 12:15 MST

The 1x seal is random cause you play 3 maindeck, no less.

by Kinfolk on 2008-08-16 14:16 MST

Ya three maindecked seals makes a lot of sense considering most of the decks you play against are goblins or burn and seals help a lot. Plus there are a number of other 2 drops that I felt were more important.
