FNM 11/16/12 Legacy

I went to Gotham Comics in Westminster, MD tonight for FNM.  Tonight was Legacy!  The cost to enter was $10 and we had 10 players for 4 rounds.

I took the only Legacy deck I have, Maverick.

Round 1: Alex Gradinetti (apologies if misspelled) with Bloodchief Ascention/Mindcrank combo.
In game one, Alex got a bit of a mana screw on both color and amount.  In game two he only got one piece of his combo going and could not stop my bum rush, as it were.

2-0

Round 2: Mike with Reanimator/Dredge

In game one I was on the play and got out a turn 2 Scavenging Ooze with green mana available, he cast a Duress and we went to game two.
In game two he had to mulligan down to five, he was on the play and cast Entomb at the end of my turn for Iona, Shield of Emeria.  He cast Animate Dead on it during his turn and named Green.  I then hit Iona with Swords to Plowshares and commenced Scavenging Ooze beats.

2-0

Round 3: DJ with Elves

In game one Dj was able to combo off on turn 5, flooding the board with elves, elf lords and, finally, Concordant Crossroads for the beats.
In game two, I got out a turn 3 Linvala, Keeper of Silence to negate the elves, I then equipped an Umezawa's Jitte and commenced elf-slaying.
In game three, I played it slow since he was on the play.
He dropped a turn one Forest into Llanowar Elf, I dropped a Savannah into a Mother of Runes (MoM).
He put 3 more elves and a Gaea's Cradle into play.  I played a wasteland and destroyed the Cradle.
On his turn, he played an Elvish archdruid and swung in with 2 2/2 elves.  I blocked one with MoM and gave her protection from green.  I then cast Path to Exile at the end of his turn, exiling the Archdruid and killing the Elf I had damaged in Combat.  I then played a Dryad Arbor and a Noble Hierarch.  He played a Priest of Titania and another Forest on his turn and declined an attack.
On my turn I dropped Umezawa's Jitte, equipped it to MoM and swung for 2.  He took it and I killed two elves.  He scooped after I wiped his board.  It turns out he was holding Emrakul, the Aeons Torn in hand the entire time.

2-1

Round 4: Rob Eggert playing Elves.

Rob and I decided to ID and play some EDH, lol.  We waited for the round to end.
0-0 (Intentional Draw)

In the end I went 2-0, 2-0, 2-1, ID for a 3-0-1.  My tiebreakers put me in first and I received the following for my $10 entry fee.

-Promo Pillar of Flame
-Sylvan Library (not the Foil)
-Foil Grave Titan
-Sudden Spoiling (wut.)
-Declaration of Naught (wut.)

So, the library alone is worth it, IMO.

Tomorrow I have to decide if I am going to play EDH close by or Standard far away, both for a chance to win a Commander's Arsenal.  Stay tuned.

Until next time...
