Pretend all you want but we're due for a G/W Planeswalker

I'll probably completely revise my list of Legacy-t3ch crushes if something bonkers-ish shows up in tonight's top 16, but before things get out of hand let's just admit some facts:

- Protecting Thalia with Mom and Karakas in a deck running 8 lands that deny mana on top of Aven Mindcensor is no way to make friends.  No list yet, but speaking of WW remember that time I got distracted trying to build something along these lines?  2/76
- Veteran Explorer into Cabal Therapy lets you power out silly planeswalkers, titans and Abyssal Persecutors -- oh wait this is a Standard list.  But seriously (G/B/r 1/24)Seriously (G/B 1/40).
- This deck's win condition is robbing you of the will to live.

Goblins is continuing a peculiar resurgence nobody wants to talk about, and continuing to not need a splash in the process.  Also kicking it old school: Jack Elgin, rocking Parallax Wave and three Jittes in a Mavericky list sans Stoneforge.

I'm on the fence about whether SCG Memphis will happen for me.  There's a Legacy GP in Indy next month that could be exciting, and I'm sure there'll be plenty of side-event fun at GP Nashville the week after.

It's interesting how even since the banning of Mental Misstep, there's still this question of whether the Bant list should bother with a legit counter-package or just party on your face.  You'll recall James Rynko#asdf was a happier man for splitting the difference.
