I'm in the LES area and don't mind traveling anywhere in the city...but I work until 7pm during the week and every single spot I can find starts at like 6pm :-/ Geekery starts at 7 on Mondays, think that's the latest one.

At this point I'm considering asking if I can just register by phone or something and give away a free loss round 1 just so I can get there in time to play a few rounds.

PSA you can get the mirror in the legacy gauntlet on MTGO. I assumed this would not be the case, but after putting my opponent on storm he tried to go for the turn 2 study/reanimate (which was also my turn 2 play!). Thankfully I didn't study the turn before and also had force, easy games boys.

Any of you nerds playing legacy at Montasy in NYC tonight? I'm doing my first sanctioned event with lands and I'm missing 7 of my sideboard cards so I'm running some... interesting sb options. So if you see a bald dude running some atypical lands poo poo feel free to say hi.

I'm Legacy starved here because apparently every single shop starts everything so drat early I think you can, they claim online registration is available on the event page but I have absolutely no idea what that actually means as I can't find any online form to register with v0v.

To add to that chalice call: In that same exact game, only minutes after player A ran a needle into his own chalice, he then ran a warping wail into his own chalice on 2 as well (his opponent had proliferated to bump the chalice up). Somehow, neither player noticed this again until a turn had passed at which point his opponent became animatedly upset, was pretty funny to watch the judge waddle over and be like 'lmao, he keeps it again dude what is wrong with you?'. In fairness player A sacced the token he got from the warping wail immediately after the judge call to no benefit, effectively negating it, but it was still really funny to watch.

Fingers McLongDong posted:I still don't understand the logic of letting player A keep the pithing needle after he missed his own chalice, especially with no real progression in board state. It seems to imply that player B has a responsibility to keep up with the chalice triggers and that player A can attempt to play into his own chalice and hope B doesn't notice. It's always been my understanding that you aren't allowed to miss you own triggers that would have a negative effect on yourself. I agree, it seems extremely strange.

Skyl3lazer posted:Tabernacle is like Karakas in that games it wins, no other card would. Additionally, it's a strong part of your mana denial plan, and puts a ton of pressure on the low mana creature strategies (delvers, elves, etc). It's nearly a wrath in some cases as well, when you can double waste into tabernacle and pass the turn. Yeah it's also pretty good against eldrazi. Not much better of a feeling on earth than being on the draw and having your opponent go: eye, 3 creatures, pass. Untap, draw, tabernacle, go.

suicidesteve posted:And Top is played in plenty of other decks and is a perfectly fine card contrary to what people want to believe from playing against bad players. Terminus is played in one deck and is singlehandedly responsible for keeping an entire archetype down. What archetype is miracles keeping down? The deck is good but its not dominant I mean, ffs, Reid won both the match you are talking about and also the most recent legacy GP using a creature-based deck.

suicidesteve posted:Aggro. Like, all of it. I don't know how Miracles not winning a GP means it's not dominant? It's pretty clearly the best deck and by a good amount. What are its bad match-ups? I never said it wasn't the best deck, I'm just curious what you think it is holding down? Just looking at Louisville because I'm not about to do a statistical analysis of legacy finishes to figure this out but the T8 has 1 miracles deck and 5 decks that win by attacking with creatures that aren't Emrakul or Griselbrand. Are you worried that miracles is holding back burn or goblins or zoo or what? I'm just not sure creature strategies are being hosed as badly as you seem to be saying.

uninverted posted:I picked up the new gifts ungiven storm deck since it was super cheap on MODO, and it feels really really strong. You can go off deterministically on T3 with just a ritual and gifts ungiven if you managed to stick a baral/electromancer the previous turn, and there are tons of hands that win on T3 or T4 from an empty board. Playing baral on T3 and remanding their T4 play to loot a past in flames into your graveyard is also the most disgusting thing ever. Got a link or a list?

Anyone have recent experience w/ standstill decks in legacy? I built SnT recently and absolutely hate playing it, looking to make a move. Thinking I'll either pivot into some kind of *still list or miracles. I already own and love lands, just looking for a reasonable 2nd deck for the days I don't feel like 20ing people.
