what?


Beat Troll-Toll 2-1. Major highlight for me was a 5-card hand of land, elf, Natural Order, Natural Order, Progenitus. Value hand.

Confirming I lost to Procrastinator 1-2. Games 1 and 3 he was able to play some dudes and fetch a Craterhoof, game 2 he mulled into oblivion. My unfamiliarity with playing against Elves (and Legacy in general) probably led to me making some plays that were just plain wrong (at least I'd like to think that it was attributable to that and not me sucking at Magic).

After not really getting what his deck did and getting rightfully combo'd out Game 1, I came back with Thrun beatdowns to beat Dr. Stab 2-1.

Edit: Also, here's the video of my round 2 match against alwaysbeclosing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbBt4rQFnfM
A lot of your sequencing and SDT'ing seemed really off to me. You missed at least 2 opportunities to cast Sigarda sooner than you did by not being aggressive with SDT and explorers. After getting Sigarda out you had an SDT that revealed Swamp, explorer, and some other card. You chose to draw swamp even though you weren't doing anything with your mana that turn so might as well have cast the veteran explorer and played swamp next turn.

Even if tabernacle said sacrifice, Sigarda still would not stop it. Tabernacle is a hell of a card.

This is probably true, I'm fairly new to the deck and to SDT-based decks in general. I'm a bit cautious about aggressively ramping into a threat that gets removed and then not having a backup strategy, especially against matchups I'm not familiar with.

Good point on Tabernacle, I wasn't aware of the Oracle text vs the printed text.

Ya SDT is a tricky card to play with, its easy to get caught up on what card you want right now without thinking about card you want next turn and the turn after. Sigarda is such a blowout vs him I would have just been jamming it as fast as possible. For example you GSZ for Deathrite, which his deck has a million answers to, when a GSZ for veteran explorer would have set up Sigarda the next turn, which his deck has 0 answers to.

The thing about tabernacle is that tabernacle gives the ability to your creatures. So even if said sacrifice, it would be an ability that Sigarda has, and one you control, not one your opponent controls. The best example of this only comes up in paper where people untap and then draw a card. If the ability were triggered by Tabernacle it would be ruled that the tabernacle player missed the trigger and it does nothing, but since the ability is controlled by the tabernacle players opponent it results in a complete blow out where they have to sacrifice all their creatures. It happens every time Tabernacle is on camera at SCG and its great.

Great bug on Xmage today where I can't use fetchlands. I might just concede and drop.

EDIT: Confirmed, I don't have the patience to investigate why I suddenly can't use Fetchlands, so 2-0 for the March Hare. If anyone knows what I can do to fix that by next time, I'm happy to continue otherwise I will be dropping.

after i place the ability on the stack and click "ok" to pass priority it does nothing, acts like its waiting for the other person to pass, their timer is counting down and it reads "Waiting for XXXX" but the other person sees the same thing.

Try clicking on the ability in the stack box. Sometimes the library search box disappears and that should get it back.
