does xmage have time limits?

It has MODO-style time limits.

Definitely take the time to load your deck in xmage and verify that all the cards are implemented. There's also a risk that some cards are buggy in edge cases - I heard that Echoing Truth used to do weird things with face-down morphs, for example.

The one playable unimplemented card I noticed was Jotun Grunt.

Legacy at a big tournament may be metagame dependent and ruled by tier denominations, but if you ask a bunch of deeply-invested non-professional M:tG players to come out and play their favorite Legacy decks, you are going to see some weird poo poo. :allears:

I've personally love RUG since it was "Canadian Threshold" with Werebears and poo poo, which is why I'm running it but God bless each and every one of you who had the ability to run anything and still just chose whatever you loved instead of what won the last SCG event.

When I first started playing Legacy, one of my friends blew out on RUG Delver, and I would repeatedly humiliate him with my stupid loving robots. ("How much did you pay for that green guy? Really? Why can't he attack into my two-dollar three drop?") Now I am incapable of playing other Legacy decks, or Modern robots.

Btw, God Bless all of you who will cast an Ad Nauseam against me. You're my brave little soldiers.

Starving Autist/Ableist Kinkshamer gets me 2-0. If I had played around his Eidolon like a sane person G1 I might have had a shot, but G2 went poorly and I died.

I tried doing this with goblins. I got everything I needed except for wasteland and rishadan port, then those cards skyrocketed to be 90% of the entire deck cost, and then deck stopped being a deck.

If you should have learned anything from this tournament, it's that any legacy deck is a deck if you want it to be. People still play Goblins because Goblins is still fun as gently caress and it's plenty possible to win games.

Don't kid yourself, goblins isn't a deck.

If you can shuffle it, it's a deck. Stop being a coward and play games with it. (Ports are kind of narrow but you will never run out of uses for those Wastelands.)

At my very first Legacy event, I took my Tempered Steel deck, swapped in some Enlightened Tutors, and went 1-3. The 1 was a real Legacy Affinity deck losing violently to 0-land keeps and the old legend rule between our Mox Opals...

Not sure why it still happens if you kill Painter's Servant in response, but I'd suspect a screwup in the implementation of Painter's Servant.

From a quick skim over the code, it looks like the Servant implementation doesn't reverse the color-changing effect when it ends.
