Possession (1981) was amazing

I was gonna comment on your first post by saying that while I think the cards we've seen are really interesting and creative so far, I've been worried about the recent trend of in-universe sets increasingly relying on references and callbacks, so I'm happy to see you point that out as well.

Finally back on here after my PC had been broken for the past 2 weeks. Won this with Cradle Nadu at a local tournament a couple of weeks ago.

Also, look at this unrelated Tundra.

Sigi @guydrinkstea.bsky.social · Sep 4

Got a nice little 4-1 with good old Cradle Nadu, only losing to honestly one of the coolest decks I've seen in a long time.

3-0-1 at the local Legacy monthly with Cradle Nadu. I felt lost in the format ever since the lack of BnR update, but I think I found a comfortable spot.

R1 BW Death n Taxes 2-0
R2 mirror - intentional arrogance draw with a friend
R3 Mono W Stompy (Clarion Conqueror and friends) 2-0
R4 UB Tempo 2-1

Yeah, as good as the one before this one was, the most recent one was just rough - even regardless of whether one would want anything banned or not. The text itself just showcased such a massive disconnect

Looking at this second graph, it feels like we might genuinely be in a format with a Tier 0 deck at this point.

Ohh I didn't realise that that's something that already exists - #1 is a safe bet for sure

If there's only 20 total copies, 20/20 would win for sure

best-in-slot choice for tournament pens tbh

Sigi @guydrinkstea.bsky.social · Jul 5

The only way I'm looking at the time until next March with optimism is that having a known and stable meta is a good environment to focus on improving my own skills as a player.

Yeah, she's probably the best generic card in Legacy right now. I love playing with her and would be a bit sad to see her gone, but part of me would also be excited to play UB with 4 Strix if she does leave. I'm gonna be on UR Cutter for now though, deck is fun

Sigi @guydrinkstea.bsky.social · Jun 27

Sounds like I picked a good deck for this weekend then - UR has also performed really well in my testing. UB Tempo can be a tough matchup, but mainly if they run Barrowgoyf main. UR can usually go wide around Nethergoyf with Cutter and win the race in most situations.

Sigi @guydrinkstea.bsky.social · Jun 17

I this this is a neat card and I'm tempted to try building something with it for Legacy. But realistically speaking, Barrowgoyf is probably just better as a 3 drop.

who up roiling they dragonstorm
(Congrats! The deck looks cool as hell, I might give it a try soon)

Sigi @guydrinkstea.bsky.social · Jun 3

I'm still enjoying playing with Kaito, Bane of Nightmares quite a lot - UB Tempo/Midrange has felt super solid and that card is always fun.
Another one I've found surprisingly good is 1 Abhorrent Oculus in UB Reanimator. It's a great smaller MV Entomb target, too.

Not yet, but I'm planning to try it with some friends once it drops in Europe. I think they mentioned October at some point?
