Legacy and Rise of Eldrazi

Today I wanted to resume my work as a writer on Evolution Store after a prolonged, involuntary parentheses, and I'd do trying one of the topics that have to talk in circles eternaleros on especially in the media and forums dedicated to Legacy. I mean the rumor mill built by the controversial announcement by Wizards of the Coast on 18 March which reviewed its policy on the Reserved List ... Continue reading EVOLUTION

Legacy and List
Reserved
I said, did I do not upload anything in Evolution Store, not for lack of interest Bit by bit the editor, but for my business, I have left hors de combat. I have some issues in the pipeline that I would like to address in future articles, which will hopefully take less time to appear. Today I brought up the subject of the Reserved List, exposing a little different positions and aspects of this controversial ad. Hope you like it and, above all, standing debate.

Ap Bio Lab 8 Practice Hardy Weinberg Questions

List: level up!

Between yesterday and today are going pretty spoilers Rise of the Eldrazi after us very cleverly held under drought during rush week, with marketing via twitter included. Remind me that if ever a religion or any religion, prohibiting the marketing twitter. The letters brought to light are not too impressive, but at least had the decency to draw cards with new mechanics to know what the expansion will bring us the long teeth.

Among these letters we have got some with a consistent level mechanical cost we can afford to raise our child's level, acquiring new skills and characteristics as their level increases. This ability is very promising and I think they hit the mark, because there is nothing we like more to geeks that our creatures, characters and properties level rise, possibly in an endless succession of levels.

Where does this fixation? Perhaps many of us liked the idea that it could be a shit but with time and dedication you could become an epic hero that will be sung in legends. Partly for that devoured in its day novelillas Dragonlance fantasy type and substitutes. So we are cool RPGs.

Skill is interesting and we have a letter with a similar mechanism that Legacy has played a greater or lesser extent Figure of Destiny, which are rendered fans some friends who fly not see Zoo ( some even topochos in GPs, XD) . In a sense we could rewrite this letter so that:

Figure of Destiny {R / W}

Creature - Kithkin
Level up {R / W} ({R / W}: Put a counter on this Level . Level up only as a sorcery. )

[Level 1-3] Figure of Destiny becomes a Kithkin Spirit 2 / 2.
[Level 4-9] Kithkin Spirit Warrior 4 / 4.
[Level 10 +] Kithkin Spirit Warrior Avatar 8 / 8 with flying and first strike.

1 / 1

Vista and the ability to not look too bad ... except for a small difference between the ability to raise the levels and the Figure of Destiny, which as you may have noticed I have solved with an appropriate stud: "Level up only as a sorcery '. Obviously this takes away the whole skill, because the picture we can go to grow at the end of opponent's turn. There is a catch all bad, especially in a deck as Zoo, almost always is tapas to bend and grow aggressively figures in their turn to paste (though not always). But like it or not is something that takes away whole, but I think the comparison helps us realize that there is already a letter asking us hundreds and hundreds of "levels" and it is played. Beyond

spell it, I think letters like Lighthouse Cronologist are too slow for the format and I do not see the game, but a letter with an interesting and a Level 1 Level 3 or 4 decent might make more sense format. We'll see what happens.

As the wicked Eldrazi the a hundred people get when they see things like Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and want to put them anywhere. While the Wizards are sure that most are not refreshed and that if they are, are not more impressive than a Terastodonte . Of course people have in the folders the Show and Tell, a letter acquired by many players to lose Dream Halls for three mana. And of course no shortage of most geeks, that want to combine this with Sneak Attack and the like to drive a milk above 15, with color protection spells (though not against Karakas ) and petaseis permanent opponent.

But with a format that people are getting addicted to get in and Ionas Progenitus table as those who do not want the thing, I see these Eldrazi thrive complicated, but time to time. There are people talking about riding some Urzatron or use the mana that can provide a Metalurg to play these through my hair, but not see it ... But who knows.

Meanwhile, we are waiting for good cards to take out.

Well Wishes And Advice For Baby Shower

Legacy Tier Decks - March 2010

The weeks after the GP has been crazy and delivered this weekend and played to excess, that it was time (no, I do not mean the LML, I woke up Sunday afternoon in the province of Segovia and special sensations in the brain and belly ...) . Finally, the bottle probably generation (which in theory am a member) not understand me because they are all day to draw blood from bleeding, but for the poor wretches like me these things are worth their weight in gold. So I left the world magiquero very, very abandoned. Now I have a couple of weeks off to catch up with everything. So finally, between yesterday and today I have given with the Tier Legacy Decks.

The month of February was the month of GP Madrid, and the month of January was that of the trials. The large number of tournaments that we analyze the previous month gave us the most reliable information in the face the GP. This month, however, has not been as numerous tournaments and except for some final trials, mostly Italians, we just have the normal every month, bringing the total to "only" twenty tournaments. Using the new system score, I have valued the Grand Prix finalist decks with a round point exceeded, which swells very few results, and you'll see, but yet I feel bad, because the influence of GP is very important and so far this March and we appreciate the impact of this mega event in our tables.

For the typical warnings on nomenclature and classification, in the end I opted for separate decks Counterbalance and Natural Order , which is a very definite archetype of great importance in the format. So consider "Countertop Progenitus" as a category that includes these lists so popular today. The rest of archetypes controleros mainly Supreme Blue, come under the name "Countertop" something in the doldrums lately with the forcefulness with which Progenitus up games. Decks like Lluis Restoy will go separately because I think we all agree here at Factory and The Source . And that talk about "version with Counterbalance" and "version unchecked " makes me sick, like Vial Goblins out " version of Zoo with goblins instead of Tarmogoyf and Gatete "or ANT " version of Belcher with Ad Nauseam ". Without so much desire or time lose, we go with the information.

Tier Decks Legacy - March 2010 [. xls]
Tier Decks Legacy - March 2010 [. pdf]


FINAL CLASSIFICATION:


NATIONAL RANKING :



Classification, nationally, and internationally, with a very important data of the GP in Madrid, we presents a format in which four decks above the rest include: Zoo, Merfolks, Progenitus Countertop and Ad Nauseam.

Zoo takes months to be one of the decks to beat, being possibly the most successful deck format right now, because the combo, her only true nemesis, will never be an option too widespread. Zoo is now one of the bundles that best exemplify what is the current Legacy, which a few years this party has nurtured the Wizards level increase is applied to creatures in their attempt to make the game is more focused in them. Tarmogoyf, Figure of Destiny Pack Wizard Nacatl Qasali and Wild, among others, are all creatures of recent publication dominating a format that is playable most mythical creatures in the game. The numbers speak, Zoo was the most represented deck on day two of the GP. 17% of the players on day two hit with kittens, almost double the pulling Earrings. The fall of the cards Zoo seems I can not close, because the format is too evil to prevent a possible domain of Ad Nauseam, especially the tempo decks, ready to jump to the minimum on combo decks.

Speaking of the King of Rome, unquestionably the Madrid Grand Prix has been the GP of Ad Nauseam, with Zoo keeping at bay as blue decks, surpassing Canadian pressure, expected a lot more metagame aggressive than in Chicago. In fact, a frequent comment during the weekend was that if any would sneak into the top was taking the tournament ... and was about to do so.

As Merfolks somehow the deck was losing in the Grand Prix, the only deck to beat that no representative managed to sneak into the top, even if they were some in the top 32 and out over the third deck represented the second day, we do not know if demographic weight or quality.

Finally we have the Progenitus Countertop, better known as "version of Solidarity with Counterbalance and Progenitus" . These cards are in circulation for over a year, but until this fall have begun to take shape of decks to beat, and for much of the autumn vernao and played much smarter Countertop controleras as Supreme Blue. GP After the deck is presented as one of those chosen to dominate the metagame this spring.

Finally, and continuing as far as possible with the spirit of brevity I see as necessary at 3 am, the two cards that have risen more this month are Reanimator (for obvious reasons) and Dark dephts. Müller's victory has served in part to put Fashionable Entomb , but I think rather it is because as Joel Calafell Pro Players choose Reanimator as the tech deck to loot in Madrid, which has increased prestige of the deck, removing the random deck sanbenitos of children. So far this month are being enough for everyone and no shortage of opportunities to sneak into the top 4 next month. As for Dark Depths, the name fulfills two main lists that I have to wonder if separated for classification purposes, the blue base and more popular, the famous dark green base across the country thanks to our friend Alsan aka " how easy it is to find between 2000 geeks. " We'll see if the deck stands the test of weeks.

Not much to say and willing to lie, is off a server, but first spend a salute to all those I welcomed the blog and especially this section, during the GP of Madrid, thank you very much everybody.

Angels And Airwaves Tattoos

B & R List (Mar 10): No surprises

As expected, the third Friday of March the announcement played again Quarterly restricted and prohibited.

March 19 2010 DCI Banned & Restricted List Announcement

Zendikar Block Constructed, Standard, Extended, Legacy, Vintage
No change

So, no surprises and no they ban anything any form or return to get their hands to vinatge (what Miedico must have the tipouneros these ads). Legacy As there are no surprises, no any letter or deck that you mosquee now the Wizards. And I think that although we have now realized that Reanimator is powerful and competitive, you do not get to re-ban the Entomb , as some suggest. Remember the people who said they get the Dream Halls is a mistake. Personally, the format is pretty good and the latest "desprohibiciones" have not only increase the number of decks in the format playable.

As Counterbalance Trompo and I think far fewer people see them as dangerous, as they have played a lot more a few months now, showing that there are decks in the format that can defeat it with no problems. We'll see how changing the format. Personally I do not see a letter right now to ban. The only card that comes to mind is Natural Order, a letter is too Timmy and turns in a totally absurd to many items. The good thing is that they are rare and few enough to avoid this, as I believe that if everyone had a set of these, the couple of months would end up banned.

Wizards may now be expected to Columbus, but observe the results of the Open Games StarCity meantime.

Today has gone on the website of Wizards a notice making clear what the position of the company regarding reprints of old cards.

How Long Does It Take Flagyl To Work For Trich?

[Article] Ideas Unbound - Legacy Dredge

I slowly buttoned up the mountain of gigs that I've dropped post-race weekend from Madrid and have time to catch up with Tier Decks and more. Today halaremos of this article.

If You are not playing Dredge in Legacy, Are you doing it unbelievably wrong. The deck

Routinely deploys 9/9s on turn 2 or 3 and Brings Some number of 2/2s to the party for value. While doing this, you get to Cabal Therapy your opponent two or three times, and if for Some Reason That isn't good enough, you 3/1s That Also Have unlimited leave behind When They die Zombies. There is very little about your opponent Can Do Any of this. I have won multiple games, in tournaments, in Which I never literally never played a normal land cast a spell.

What: Ideas Unbound - Legacy Dredge

Who: Max McCall frogboy aka.

Where: In StarCity, which already has two fixed columnists, plus the flow of goods and occasional forays Menendian some pro players, from Legacy read an article a week to dispose of 3 or 4.

Something good: The article is clear and concise, directly exposing the strengths of their list and saying many situations with plays more or less real. Generally there are a lot of playing and it shows the author's experience with the deck. It is also important to spend almost all the space to think about the hate that is relevant.

Something to criticize: Article has been criticized as arrogant in The Source and partly it is true that transmits a scent of "this deck beats everything and is the best in the whole world if you're as good as me" . For example, in the end, the writer expresses his bewilderment at the outcome of the deck, which he said should Open StarCity dominate and have done better in Madrid. Personally I think the deck is not as powerful, but I agree with comments expressed also in The Source, which reminded me a bit to the articles of Fowler, saying that to play Ichor must have that mentality of "I petarlo all" or if you do nothing. Possibly so.

Can Stress Hurt My Unborn Baby

The capped Worldwake: Calcite Snapper

I have delivered on Monday and Tuesday, I held and still is very week. I have spent almost all day turning the business center in Autocad, matching all dimensions and ssuperficies and I'm up the cock, so I wish to unwind and discuss anything on the blog. What degeneration! Writing Entries a blog to "disconnect" (and what comic) . In this cold night in Madrid (hate that spring to crack and take back) I feel like commenting on a letter that lately I'm seeing a lot out there and each time I like, so much so that it can be one of the covered Worldwake, the Calcite Snapper.

This sturdy turtle emerges as the typical letter just may be played in Legacy, usually a common good for nothing and that goes unnoticed in the spoiler and the subsequent analysis performed around the world . But fortunately, millions of geeks around the world need improve their cards more casual and fun and, consequently, millions of geeks worldwide surf seekers MTG reviewing everything. The ending suggests thousands of letters every day in hundreds of cards and eventually leaving just curious things. Not to say that this card is no big deal, but it is very interesting.

The first time I heard of this letter was about a week ago reading an entry one of the most interesting blogs have been created recently, that of Team Two Tier (T2T) (which are beautiful the beginning) . The article in question concerns a UWR Countertop, Supreme Blue style no green and no Goyfs thus taking the idea a step closer to the control. We had already seen such as the list with which "Paquillo" Gutierrez won the GPT Metropolis Madrid.

interesting thing about this Snapper Calcite is its versatility. On one side is an excellent defender, his shroud allowed to remain on board longer than he would like the opponent (ideally lasts forever). Its attributes allow you to block indefinitely creatures as popular as Nacatl , Qasalis , Mongooses or newts number. If only it were a wall would play Wall of Denial, but the grace it is that it can be an excellent attacker, and that can put a land of four, which is not a clock not bad for a creature three controlero cost. In a deck with a lot of land we can consider a pseudo 4 / 4 with veil 1UU ... well, maybe exaggerating, but not bad.

With fetchlands can shoot twice their ability, so we can do fun tricks, mainly to exchange strength and endurance in the turn of another to block anything. The pity is that there is no damage on the stack for the pure barter Morfoide. The letter also has some synergy with Firespout, forcing the opponent to lose more than a bug if you want to do harm, ensuring card advantage. After

view suggested in this article, I have never seen the cards appear at various sites. I think an interesting addition to the blue curve of three to slow agrocontrol decks and control style Vendilion Trinket Mage or Clique. For example, today I was amused by this list of Monoblue (more thing goes Geek) in The Source . Calcite

MUC
by Clark Kant

4 Force of Will 4 Counterspell

4 Fact or Fiction

4 Propaganda 4 Calcite Snapper

1 Call of the Skybreak

3 Powder Keg 3 Vedalken Shackles

3 Back to Basics


23 Island 1 Academy Ruins

The Propagandas also combine well with the Turtles, they require the tribal decks to pay four mana to start doing damage. You can also get a few Scalding and a Mountain Tarn to include Firespout and generally make changes, like putting Engineered Explosives or replace Ancestral Vision.

I do not know, I think a nice letter, those who call you to make a deck, a card that you see and say, I want to do something with this, and Firespout Vendilion Clique. A really nice letter I went completely unnoticed at the time. And you, have you played any of this turtle your frikidecks?

PD: The competitive deck also valid, that they are still geeks) ?

From here I want to thank again the work of those who bothered to record it. After all the weekend we had stuck between his chest and shoveling, crippled after we were all put to record the final (and therefore can not enjoy it as much as the rest) is an act of generosity for the community.

Twitter strikes back: Legacy PTQ format? SCG

# MTGA
(Twitter by Aaron Forsythe)
@ blargster Outside of PTQs, Legacy is played by more people more Often Than Extended. Something about it resonates.
7:41 a.m. Mar 5th via web

On Legacy: Supporting formats of 99% off-sale cards Does make a ton of business sense, pero does HAVING happy players.
7:38 a.m. Mar 5th via web

2200 + Does not lend credence to Madrid at the idea Legacy That Could Be a PTQ format?
11:06 PM Mar 4th via web


I no longer believe or Twitter or in Santa Claus, but it is interesting to echo these comments, that match a bit with the discussion that we have recently read in The Source about whether Legacy might be a PTQs format.

Legacy Could Be A PTQ format?

The three questions posed in this theme are:

1) Do you think there is enough letters to keep Legacy as a PTQs format?
2) How would that Legacy was a PTQ format for the price of the cards?
3) Is there a step between the current situation and Legacy as PTQ format.


I am caught in time, nine in the morning and should get to currar already, so I can not say much, but I'd like to leave these questions for your consideration and if there were interesting comments, try paeticipar.

Open Series - Richmond

As
logical and natural, on this side of the Atlantic have been infinitely more interested in what happened in late February in Madrid than any other tournament. However, we are gradually leaving behind GP (though not yet, sure to talk more about him) . For this, I find it interesting that we take a SCG eye to Open in Richmond last week, the same weekend as the Grand Prix.

On the one hand, as it was the weekend of the records say that, relatively speaking, the Richmond Open also set a record, being the Legacy Open the busiest so far made, with 236 participants, with the tournament Legacy largest recall in the U.S., except maybe some GP and GenCon, but I'm not sure and it is difficult to find information. At the end of the day is the first Open of SCG conducted in a focus of U.S. Legacy, particularly in Virginia, which has an important player base and the states of New England at 600-700 km.

On the other hand, the Standard Open surpassed the 500 participants, which seems to augur well for the future of the initiative to emulate StarCity Games Wizards of the Coast. Think of the precedent set by StarCity can be imitated in the future one way or another by other third parties as Wizards constantly reduces tournament schedule while demand does not appear down. The

Coverage by StarCity has nothing to envy Wizards, and possibly better, since it includes live broadcasts and lists the Top 16, plus everything else, like all the pairings and standings, are always welcome. SCG

Open Series - Richmond - Complete Coverage
Top 16 Lists

The metagame is not very surprising, very Progenitus Countertop, many Zoo and, above all, many Merfolks. Do you play much in Madrid? I do not know, but perhaps there were better drivers, but if we rely on data that have been collecting on the top 32 of the GP, Merfolks if any there were, but were not lucky enough to sneak. The big surprise of the day was the same as in Madrid (coincidence?) , Reanimator, which has helped to increase the hype of the deck, especially in the U.S.. And is that many American players tend to underestimate the level of play in Europe, so a deck like Reanimator, but won a tournament of 2227 people in the old continent, it would be a random shuffle. And of course, these achievements have helped trigger the price of Entomb . Thus the top 16 are allocated as follows:

6 / 16 (37.5%) - Merfolks
3 / 16 (18.75%) - Zoo
2 / 16 (12.5%) - Countertop Progenitus
2 / 16 (12.5%) -
Reanimator 3 / 16 (18.5%) - Other (Landstill, Belcher, UW Fish Tempo)

(Incidentally, Landstill with Jace the Mind Sculptor )

seems that on this occasion, instead of crossing the Merfolks with Zoo, as it seems happened in Madrid, were crossed with Ad Nauseam, with few, if any. Still less is played ad nauseam in the U.S. than in Europe, but the boom is not bad Progenitus Countertop breeding ground for fish.

Anyway, what do you think of the results of this tournament? They tend to confirm what we're seeing lately worldwide right?

My Goldfish Has Brown Spots On Their Body

[Report] A great weekend (2)

Where we left off yesterday? Ah, yes, I started to write the report and when I realized, had not yet started with the report and it was too late. Sorry to curl, but if we do not wind on talking about this, what are we going to talk? Well, we are, emepcemos with rapid account of what I faced.


Round 1 - Table 276 - Yanick Fernández [CHE] with Pox Depths


Luckily I could PREVENT
HEXMAGE RESOLVE, AND NOT THAT PART VI 20/20 NUNGÚN
First We played in a round table that there are no chairs. Although we are not as pigs soon to take a seat to someone, because they had to bring them as well. In the end, as it takes to start the round "only" lose a couple of minutes. My opponent is "suis" but speak proper Castilian and smoothed with a French accent, I guess the name has something to do. Plays a kind of type mononegra Smallpox deck with Dark Depths .

The first game is summarized in that a second round low Survi with that under Iona fourth turn. As their cards mononegro I have not much to think and named black, with what he thinks and takes 10 seconds, and you can not do anything. The book only Damage includes three mine for fetch.

The second is more sad. Le espadeo Hypnotic the lowering of the first turn with Ritual, he shot a Spell Pierce and start off bugs while discarding strip me and I think I started Tarmo or FoW . It floodea and I took a Qasali a Magician Nosy (Hexmage Vampire ") and a Loyal Retainers I steal into the kitchen.

Federer was not very fine and told me he did not play much. Yet it was a very nice and pleasant and played third game by pachangueo, which also resolved in my favor. It proved once again that the extirpated is a letter that does not affect the table.


2-0 1-0



Round 2 - Table 89 - Manuel Carrasco [ENG] with Bant Countertop

My opponent played Bant Countertop and do not know whether he had Natural Order, but not I think, because I did not see any Hierarch or Dryad Arbor.

The first is summarized in one hand I'm staying with chicha and without counters. Trompo me down First and Second Counterbalance (good!) . Attempt to force down the bugs that I have in hand before being leaked the top to lock me up, but between Daze, FoW and CB I cut it all. With fifteen lives, I have to concede.

The second hand I'm a Qasali, Survi, Krosano, a cantrip and land. I said, good hand, you certainly will not close with Counterbalance as before. Second shift enters Qasali and pleased because I already had an answer to Counterbalance in table and could petarle even a spin. The drop a Tarmogoyf me and I in the third turn a Survival. The advantage was mine, apparently, was under control Counterbalance and stole a bug that would not put the Survival up to drown in card advantage. As there was no point me block your Goyf, we were trading blows I of 3 and 4. The result so you can imagine. No low or Trompo and balances and I do not steal another bug, I filled the hand of land and some Krosano more until I have to block the Tarmogoyf. To steal a bug when I just downloaded the second Tarmo and Rhox, unable to do anything to save the game.


0-2 1-1


After losing this game I get discouraged a bit, because the truth is that my opponent did not let me options. Maybe I could optimize some play, maybe I made some missplay , but my hands were not helped me a lot to do battle. I take a quick turnaround and confirms to me that people are seeing everything. At that hour there really a collection of defined metagame.


Round 3 - Table 221 - Ana Maria Leal [ENG] with Fatestalker

opponent touches me a girl, I think of Cadiz, which has Ubr Fatestalker, a deck that worked very well in the GP, remaining unbeaten two on the first day.

The first part I have many notes, but few counters steals and after some mutual wear quickly enters an Survival looking for a black Iona just giving me the game without much resistance she opposes. I guess that would be trusted and I made that for me was the biggest mistake of the day, Bitterblossom underestimate by almost did not play Bant Survi against them, and can put the Krosanos, even if the Trygon , thinking that with the amount of bugs that I have I can keep at bay Bitterblossom to steal some Qasali. FAIL!


¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ KROSANO A BITTERBLOSSOM !!!!!!! The second game
down a second Bitterblossom for I have no answer and their lives start to fall one by one. The dynamics are summarized in bug and I fell and hit her from time to time petaba or offset some, so it's always a hit. After several turns and manages to win the extra spinning me a Goyf fairy or something and starts to beat me. Shortly afterwards, and after taking about ten damage with Bitterblossom, comes to accompany their tales a Tombstalker and go down the toilet.

In the third, silly me, I still think that was bad luck and that he had endured the many shifts Bitterblossom Qasalis with the Trygon and Spell Pierce is sufficient. Lie. I'm double-forcing hand Hierarch and land. I leave her land and Explosives Hierarch of 1 (CRAP!) , I have to counteract. Under the second hierarch and I think I play a cantrip that I do not reveal anything. Other explosives it lowers one and I do not know if I Brainstorm or what, he shot a to prevent petar Daze as lower cost and able to play two the next turn. I well remember what happened but a fairy Bitterblossom shit started, I wanted to play and I do not know what threw a Spellstutter , with a few tokens into play, so I could not cancel with Swords. I started to hit with an army of fairies and lost again.

At this point I felt like a complete fool he wanted, unconsciously, be punished by armies of fairies. I told myself as I again face one of these, which go beyond the Krosanos a sack against Bitterblossom, which is the letter that unbalance the confrontation. My opponent played very well, concentrated and without making failures. A shame about his friend, who came to the area of \u200b\u200bthe pairings with the bag open, which led to a very painful removal of cards.


1-2 1-2


Overcoming the first three rounds are like three p.m. past and still had six rounds. I was 1-2, so I had to win six rounds of the tug to go to day 2, which was a rather impossible feat. Was soon anyway, I was enjoying my games and did not want is to drop. I said that I would regret is to drop with two losses, so I decided to wait to lose the third to decide anything. The judges decided not to drop to those who were 0-3, a decision that was applauded by the audience, because three rounds knew very little for many people who had traveled extensively to play that day. Those who came with three byes began to appear, both winners of trials that we all know, as the Pro Players. From this round if you finish early and have something to go see high tables.


Round 4 - Table 359 - Arturo Martin [ESP] with White Stax

No I have many memories of the first and second game. A closed me an Armageddon with all in the table (Magus of the Tabernacle , Prison , Suppression Field ...) with Mox Diamond in table to pay for maintenance of the Magician: grant! Pierce went in, Krosanos and Trygon, which was very cool. Another

bicherío won it through, but I made the shit to forget to pay a maintenance of the Tabernacle Magus , which made me a lose two creatures and pull, I keep the Force of Will for their bombs and settlement with Bichet.

The third is the best I have registered. Survival went down and I looked up the Trygon to go for their annoying junk. After lowering me down a Trygon Kor Haven with which I canceled the expense of tapearse Trygon three lands several shifts. At one point got a Vendilion I found: Armageddon

2 2

For Trygon strive to protect the saved enough goodies in hand. I took the Armageddon, because I had bad things in table (I think Prison, Supression Field and Crucible of Worlds with Erial) because it could cut the other with Daze (or was Spell Pierce?) And make shift to go and sticking with Trygon petarle the pots (first the crucible to prevent the lock from Erial and Crucible) and get things moving. Thus, clogging Time to crack the Armageddon he slipped the Daze (Spell "Pierce?). To keep playing pots and things Baneslayer endured too much, I think they did not come down, I do not remember exactly why. My opponent ended his deck and cursing his bad luck, though quite friendly. The truth is that now, won who won was out.

2-1 2-2


With better taste I'll give it a spin and I run into that all had byes that I knew had lost the first and went 3-1. It was proved that day that it is difficult to enter a tournament to take on people who run a 3-0 or 4-0, fully connected and with a winning mentality you arrive relaxed while the street and boring to wait all morning and part of the afternoon.


Round 5 - Table 364 -?? Rodríguez-Ponga [ENG] with Burn

I remember very well and my own notes here are slim. In the first game I have only a very initial note says Survival, but it seems that no lives were Rhox involved. I stayed at 12, so I guess that maybe there was some Iona involved. The second game has no note, but life gains witnessed some action Rhox. The truth is that the pairing is easy, because you have to divide your resources among sparks, removal and creatures, as against Zoo, but you do just throw Daze and Spell Pierce the first sparks to buy time to get Goyfs and Rhox and save Force of Will for Fireblast or Price of Progress


2-0 3-2


At this point I feel a little better to see if I can lacquer the result and not feel so defeated. My goal is to win as many games as possible before losing the third. The time between rounds to be extended to nearly a quarter of an hour I come from yummy to go to the Chinese that there are close to the subway and buy something solid to my stomach. I go inside to look around and during the meeting paseillo enough people, among them Rafael Riego, with a smirk absent in the face, we ask you just tell us what that is 5-0 and just beat LSV. Vargas played Enchantress, a choice that surprised me. And Vargas, many others doing what he does.


Round 6 - Table 264 - Mathias Keller [DEU] with Ubr Fatestalker

The sixth round I played against a German, I can finally test my skills Inglés, although the end is that there is little that test, since the type, although the peak does not open properly for almost nothing and gave me the turn by hand, while maintaining a constant poker face. That a English does not come naturally.

The first was won, but I'm not sure what happened. I think it was a typical game against a tempo Survi Bant deck, if you do not put pressure with a Mongoose or Biterblossom bugs you have more tools to control them. The lives do not tell me much, but I think I won by a mini army of attackers. Possibly there was some Vendilion involved. It also strikes me that this is the round in which revived Kiraso Vendilions and the Loyal Retainers.

The second I lose it little by little, we espadeé a couple of Tombstalkers and possibly destroyed him some Biterblossom , but apparently did not steal the final bugs, because I won over nits.

The third is hotly contested and all sorts of things happen. I seem to recall that under some Explosives on occasion and I cleaned the table. However this time I had learned my lesson and got the Krosanos , which destroyed all Biterblossom love in a couple of times while the removal is reserved for Tombstalker . When we are worn and comes Survival by Iona we go. Iona comes to black and hit a couple of times, had a Tombstalker sing before and turns, but the three chumpbloquear is not saved, so collected.

I take the thorn that had stuck after the previous game. Of course I had on my skin to see that, indeed, Biterblossom is the letter that you flip to the game. If not fit, your great density of threats has the upper hand. Shake hands after the German was somewhat more friendly and I wish to be a good time in Madrid the rest of the week.

2-1 4-2


liveliest thing I find many people who went 4-2 (many who had lost one-third had Dropped already). it was fun to play to make the submarine, but he knew that at some point soon, it would be so lucky. It was also freaking out to see my pairings and those of my friends, each faced a different thing. Wintern would like Bant Survi 6-0 with his tale and Maradona had to go looking, with his Aggro Loam with Lotus Cobra. Rafa was 6-0 and most were 5-1 and 4-2.


Round 7 - Table 121 - Gwenael Mocaer [FRA] with Reanimator


IONA MOLA YOU WHEN YOU PLAY, NO OTHER
In this round I played with one kind of very smiling and ways half-pro in the way they play, shuffle and others. The first game soon reveals what plays when you pull a Careful Study with Underground Sea ("Ichor?) And pull the cemetery one of the Sphinx Steel Wind. I start to sweat because the pairing is bad, because your disruption is very weak against the redundancy of your combo pieces. Yet it can throw a counter and that some Vendilion, we ended up with him four in four.

The second I think I got to play Survival, because I get me a sounds Faerie Macabre in response to exhume , but their Brainstorm were more helpful than mine because shortly thereafter, and without knowing too much time is revived a Sphinx of the Steel Wind and my life down as fast as his rise. Spending the three shifts that I have attempted to find the Sword but do not come. Who would have had a Sower in this situation.

The third I slipped a blank Iona to cut my Swords. As I had thought Survi go for my Iona, until I realized that theirs would not let me do it. How cool would have been the Sower or Genesis + Rana.

1-2-DROP 4-3


Finally, seeing that it was quite late and I was satisfied to play the Magic on that day, it seemed appropriate dropped, so you can enjoy a feature match, relax a little and catch up with people, I do not know how anyone would. In followed gave the Catalans. Enric informed me that he had set a very billet 0-3 after entering the tournament in fourth round with byes tritranquilos. Had many opportunities to spend a day 2, including raptor, they said, subsequent comments heard from the mouths of some I keep to safeguard the honor of all.

Beginning announce the eighth round feature match between Alex Mateu, who had Fatestalker Canadian and a German. I find it quite interesting and I arrejuntarse sentadico Kramer to view. Then I had the pleasure of meeting also Mines and Mr. Aldo. I spent the rest of the round with Don Mines itemize all played at the hearing and what would and would not, although I learned everything. The games were intense, dominated by the tension in the air. Mateu ended up winning (being then between unbeaten day 1) , as Biterblossom " Tombstalker and Perish bench played well in his favor.

During the time between rounds finished topándome a guy who treated fairly at The Source, Skeggi, a Dutchman and after giving me a beer (big the guy with a bag of cans of Heineken) talked for a while, try to see which Czolk Stefan, another illustrious, he tells me things the Dutch, I point the finger at several Sourcers and after talking from their decks I suggested that we look for a quiet table to play. He wore a red rock with to Firespout and Ajani Avenger. He was not very good but some aa other team mate. We won one each and when the end of our second game, the round ends and people start to leave in disarray the venue. Skeggi I say goodbye, he is happy with the great performance of the Dutch, many of them slipping on the second day.

I just meeting with them, hungry and eager to dinner where we can. It is 12 o'clock at night when we go through the door of Convention Hall Country House. "We will dinner somewhere? Well, I do not know, but I think I'll end of having other day what I was doing the rest of the weekend and my impressions to the deck, now I've wasted enough time on the keyboard.

How Do You Know When Impetigo Has Gone?

[Report] A great weekend (1) Gathering

Yes folks, the last weekend we had it all marked on the calendar for months. Some called for a day off on the gigs, booked a ticket other transport, other had to beg ask permission from the missus, and in general did a good gap in our agenda: During that weekend we were going to send all our problems to hell with full conviction.

We have already read a few reports on the GP, many of them people who made day 2, which lengthens the hard way the number of rounds, which makes his writing and reading. For my part I did not attend the GP with a winning mentality. Understand me, it is not anything to lose or were not motivated, but a server can no longer be realistic. With all this hype of the GP, when he had played about 3-4 tournaments in what we had this year, there were people who had been getting a couple of tournaments per week from late December, attending all possible trials (which were not few), not counting the hours of testing. Aware that my hours of testing were much lower than those many people, I knew that was going to enjoy it.


I STEP TO PLAY SO THE MAGIC DRAW Monigotes PREFER TO TESTING INTENSIVE

From Christmas or so was quite clear he wanted to play it Bant Survival and pinch me Loyal Retainers, fairly priced competitive indeed. The deck was a cannon and although not clearly outline a winning deck was very fun to play and did not burn as much as other decks. The list I ended playing is fairly based on that promoted the Varela Jorge issue about the deck in Mishra's Factory, as it was the one I liked and which I felt more at ease.

Survibant feat. Iona

4
Noble Hierarch 4 Tarmogoyf
3 Qasali Pridemage
3 Rhox War Monk 2 Vendilion
Click
1 Loyal Retainers
1 Iona Shield of Emeria
1 Kira, Great Glass Spinner
1 Squee, Goblin Nabob 4

Survival of the Fittest
4 Force of Will 3

Daze 4 Brainstorm
2 Ponder 4
Swords to Plowshares

4 Misty Rainforest
3 Windswept Heath
1 Flooded Strand
3 Tropical Island
3 Savannah
2 Tundra
1 Forest
1 Plains
1 Island

SB:
3 Spell Pierce
3 Path to Exile
2 Krosan Grip
1 Trygon Predator
1 Rhox War Monk
1 Llawan, Cephalid Empress
1 Meddling Mage
1 Ethersworn Canonist
1 Faerie Macabre
1 loaming Shaman


The list was a bit based, as I said, in Varela. As I wanted to have extra artifacts peta-third cut Vendilion Click a Trygon Predator, which was also blue and flying. In the end the Trygon was rather loose and ended up changing a Kira, Crystal spinner, a letter I have seen on many lists guiris and I wanted to try. The bug has been liking me being pretty good against Zoo decks and against UGR, especially those that are Vedalken Shackles and / or Seeders . It is also blue and paste above. The final decision came as a result of that was wanting more basic peta-pots, so I ended up cutting the third Ponder to fit the third Qasali . On the bench

not want to talk much, because it has been thousands of changes and even got to change three letters that were second copies of other things, letters similar effect (second Canonist by Mago , etc.). , leaving the bench a bit random.

GP week I walked quite busy, and until Thursday morning I could not get away from all the work I am choking. That afternoon came the chance to take some home games aka Dario Brih. Me, I usually spend a lot of these people, I could not let this opportunity and introduced myself there without thinking too much. At the end were I brih, Dritzz and women, aka Rafa Trasguito and "the boy who later became top 9" . After the games that evening gave me venazo and I decided to violate my religion and change Spell Snare by Daze as against decks and against Countertop tempo, you can leave the game very determined in the first turns if you do not have to counter this or that Trompo Mongoose (the only card that scares me Canadian) . Dritzz had a very bad afternoon and just deciding to put aside their initial choice, which of course was Canadian, and Zoo. I think we all agree that was a splendid decision. I also began to see in action the new Jace , the truth is that the first and last ability warp in a spectacular way, indeed I did not realize I had that ability comparable to finisher Elspeth. I loved to hear background noise laughter Cris, who was devouring a manga that happened Darius. I spent the breast and was not even reading, so the day I read is the milk.


Yotsuba. NO, NOT ME IS THE NAME, JUST Googleâ: "LATE MANGA GIRL" AND WENT FAST

On Friday morning I had to stand before my boss aka the professor who attend on a scholarship, of which only you will hear me on the best terms because there is Google. In the afternoon played submitted in place of the tournament, to sign up. I had been with several people. When I arrived I met some friends of Segovia who were on the outer edge of the galaxy that was the tail spiral that led to the place. Reading a report today in The Source I was amused to read that a German was surprised that the English did coiled tail. WTF? You know guys, do not make generalizations never. After I spotted a head spinning black black brown above the rest and very, very close to the door. I hastened to approach Alsan, who helped me sneak (I asked permission to those who were close behind.) After a bit of glue, we signed up and tried to loot the shops, but prices were to shoot rockets. In short, the next couple of hours can be summarized in that I was in and out and giving thousands of rounds, greeting people on. From the beginning I fell great Paul and Rufino aka Eric, the LAL, nobles and highly recommended. Also took the opportunity to pass a good pile of Triturahuesos in English and something more than collecting a Russian exchange for some juicy Russian Misty Rainforest. Apparently Triturahuesos means phonetically in Russian: "You suck 3 rounds" and I want to give people to do 0-3 in their tournaments and stuff. Finally, after a couple of hours went in and out many people and the coil is kept in its size. Handyman came out saying that people Devir said he was going to enroll more than 800 on Friday. And we flip! We could not imagine what was announced as the night the total number of registrations on Friday was the 1550 players.

Anyway, that night we were going to test again but just playing Bang! (I had to be the Sheriff and I played bad, because it was not what was) and Chinese food dining. At the end we take a quick pachangas, just enough to suffer in my flesh the fucking Jace. After

bed later than I should I woke up the next day at 7 and something to look forward to everything. Once at the site of the tournament, I was surprised to see that the queue to register was kept was more or less the same as the well-to-eye on Friday and should have a few hundred waiting to be enrolled. So, he proceeded to enter the site, I found my friends in Segovia and was completing the road deck with them. Then I looked for Factory people and there were all even Tewy and Penguin, I even more missing. Note that I was the only rolling stone that brought the shirt is not finished FDM "gotelé" not to use the analogy that I heard later Kram ... Speaking of . cat, before I went round the hand of Luis aka Pichit to greet the Catalan Enric know in person and Kramer, among others. I even greet a celebrity as the Grand Raptor. After a while we announce that due to the massive influx should delay the start of the tournament at 10. The site was petadísimo.

OS
Replace PHOTO ANTONIO Tajuelo , which clearly illustrates the overcrowding TO ENJOY Finally

quite late, long the chief judge us his little speech inaugural, in which the judge confirmed what we already beginning to rumors around the room, we had overcome the significant number of 2000 players, beating the previous record GP Paris was in 1961 players. Mr. this tells us that the final number of registered players is 2220 (2227 exactly), so this tournament was going to be historical. We announce that we will play the typical 9 rounds of Day 1 and the next day had to play another eight more after the cut to Top 8. That is, we were going out from there to the thousand and that winning the tournament would have to overcome more or less than 20 rounds Legacy. Mr. Enric Luzán recorded the dramatic moment. Personally it makes me remember the hair tip magicquero participate in an event history.


How could it be otherwise, Enric HAD TO RECORD ANY VIDEO

Apparently the tournament would be a mess before the massive influx. To begin with had to order more than 500 extra seats, they had to remove the Feature Match tables, spent the Side Events at almost every Sunday and announced they would drop to those who were 0-3 after the first three rounds. We hang the lists so that we know what tournament we played and all that. Jitte gave us that and wait to be hung the standings of the first round. Wait and wait, had to wait quite a tournament with so many people in the rounds lasted an hour and a quarter between one thing and another. Finally, at about 11 past, we started to play.

Round 1 - Table 276 - Yanick Fernández Pox Depths ...

... and now that we get to the games, I think I long ago that, besides being late, I will continue tomorrow.

Madrid GP Congratulations round of post-GP

I'm still exhausted and now it's Monday and return to the grim reality of everyday life and the many commitments. The GP has been simply spectacular, with its record of participants from all over Europe and some from abroad to play Legacy. Still is a bit early to take stock in the form of reports and analsis more, after so many days in the Pavilion of the House, we need to rest a bit what happened, and some rest. But she could not open a blog post to congratulate some people.

MAD PROPS TO:

Dritzz

First, how could it be otherwise, billions of congratulations to Dritzz, ie of Alex Delgado, one of three English that slipped to the top, the only Madrid and, to make matters worse, Alcorcón. Ole your balls! It is a joy to see a guy so close, the Factory Pseudo Team, has been cast on top. The truth is that it was one of the few with byes that got through the second day. What the byes was a curse for many people, because after circling be laughter and breakfast, you find opponents who have won all their rounds from the ground and growing. And is that the mental state and luck are critical such an event. It was funny to see how all the acquaintances who had byes were 3-1 after the fourth round. Dritzz got through the second day with a 7-2, but scrotumtightening next day was when I got up at 3 in the afternoon and watched the Wizards website to see what the guy was getting a perfect on day two. I said, a fucking, is plugged. After eating and showering I ran to the site to come and learn that Dritzz had made top 8. It was crazy. The trouble was that he touched a pairing as crappy as ANT. Alex struggled and even scratch a game, but it is a difficult pairing. Yes, a bit fucked up the result because the Sino-Czech did not play too well and what happened at the beginning of the third game, when a guy said something publicly on the cases of Alex and began to prowl the judges ... if there was any game of loss had been strained by the environment and to know what would have happened. With all that said, congratulations to Dritzz by piece top that is marked. The


. cat

Secondly congratulations to the rest of English at the top, Lluis Restoy and Ruben Gonzalez. Cat both. Restoy is a known player of the LCL, which has made many tops and was top ranked in the first LCL after ten tournaments, winning three of them. I'm glad that both the LML and the LCL have put people on the top, showing the national level. Lluis Restoy apparently succumbed to a tremendously aggressive and curveras hands of Englishman Richard Bland. Ruben Gonzalez ("Gonzales?) is convinced tipounero and played against with Countertop Progenitus Tomoharu Saito. The pairing should be more or less favorable for Countertop, but Gonzalez was left with little hands and Saito chicha is a genius and could warp in complicated situations. We must also say that the entrevistilla for the Top 8 Profile of Coverage censured him a few things, because you got to crack on that plays only type 1. When asked: Where Can players meet you at Friday Night Magic? , he replied that when they start to make NMF of type 1, that would ... Finally congratulations to both. Rafa


Irrigation

Congratulations to this kid, no byes that day marked a scrotumtightening (I think a 8-1), charging a LSV in the fifth round (putting a fresh 2-0) with his deck UGR Faes with super tech as Jace, the Mindsculptor . I was skeptical about the planeswalker, but after witnessing a few games and suffer as many on the floor of Bri, I must say that the walker is caviar. Rafa was on the verge of dropping the second day after a couple of bad results in the first round on Sunday. The guy came to check the drop box and deliver the report, but ultimately went to the station to ask referees not dropped. Not re-dropped at the end and finished top 9. I know you said left a bad taste left ninth, but possibly without byes were the highest ranked player and you should feel proud of doing what you did at your age and more GP largest in history.

Tajuelo PHOTO COURTESY OF ANTONIO, WHICH HAS MARKED A PHOTOGRAPHIC COVERAGE GREAT.

Congratulations to everyone who came to Madrid, in particular the 1600 English players. Participation expectations have been exceeded and we have all crushed a record of attendance, making clear that there is interest in Legacy. Every time I recall those early debates, when news broke that Madrid will host a GP in Legacy, I get a laugh. 2220 players ("2225? 2228?), Left on the floor all forecasts, both pessimistic and optimistic.

This weekend was great and give a lot of talk.

I love this letter, a great design and fun, but playable in Legacy? "Sneak Attack? Reanimated "? "Loyal Retainers? Metalurg "?

What do you think?
