Never Grow Old

I'm awfully excited about how cool Legacy suddenly is.

Anyway, here are the lists that have set my heart aflutter in anticipation of Indiana next month.

Generic Dragon-Stompy lives! Note the complete lack of Zoo in that Top 8; Magus of the Moon is worthless against an opponent running Lightning Bolt, and Qasali Pridemage could give a damn about basically a third of your deck. Good luck being the beatdown in That match-up, Dragon Stompy! Still a fun deck though. Anyway.

Ryan Hatcher doesn't even know how bad he wants to cuddle with this 42-man winning Legacy Death Cloud build.

Lots of strange choices going on in this Reanimator build, which apparently sports a semi-transformational sideboard. Interesting.

This looks like an update on BHWC Landstill from two or three years ago, mixed with Goyfstill. I like it because of its strong Cunning Wish count: zero. What I am saying is that I do not like Cunning Wish in Landstill.

I've built the Bitterblossom/Spellstutter Sprite/Terminate tempo deck three times now and each time I've been bored off my face. And each time someone adds a new tweak to lure me back: first it was Jitte and Firespout, and now they're incorporating Blightning and Vendilion Clique, the latter of which makes Riptide Laboratory a neat inclusion as well.

In other news, have you checked the price on uncommon Legacy staples like Wasteland and Aether Vial? $20 and $10 respectively. Evidently you're lucky to pick up a Force of Will for under $30. So I hope you realized Legacy was cool awhile ago, because apparently a lot of other people have figured it out too, and are shopping accordingly.

Oh, and speaking of eternal formats, have you seen the Bant deck in Vintage? First turn Hierarch, second turn Selkie, third turn Pridemage, draw three? Six representatives in the above-linked Top 8, from a 50-man. And then there's this Selkie deck, which won an event of 100+. It eschews UW for Red, giving it Magus of the Moon, Gorilla Shaman, and effectively a red Ancestral Recall with flashback in the form of Reckless Charge via Selkie. How's THAT for a 61st card?

Oh, and in case you wonder, no, Vintage is not too insanely good for Skullclamped Elves to just murder you.

So yeah, let's play for money. Jump, gypsy!
JUMP!
