Eric, Jimmy, and I went to Xanadu Games in Baltimore MD on Wednesday 12/5/12 to play some Legacy. (With proxies allowed)
I took the only Legacy deck I own, Maverick. We planned on playing four rounds with a cut to top four at the end.
Round 1: Jimmy Peyton with Dredge.
In game one, Jimmy had to mulligan down to three and quickly conceded. In game two, he went off very quickly and it was I who quickly conceded. In game three I was able to get a Scavenging Ooze out early and untap with it to lock down Jimmy's graveyard.
2-1
Round 2: Nick Thompson with RUG Delver.
RUG Delver is a good matchup for me. I got out the beats in games one and three, but was overpowered in game two due to two Delvers flipping early.
2-1
Round 3: Chris Cornwell-Shiel with Aluren
I took game one because Chris got heavily mana screwed. In game two he went off early by dropping a Show and Tell and I scooped to the combo. In game three, I got out Linvala, Keeper of Silence early (with Mother of Runes protection) to lock out the combo. Chris audibled into his backup win condition, Emrakul and Show and Tell. He cast Show and Tell putting in Emrakul and I dropped a Knight of the Reliquary to "tutor" up Karakas. Chris scooped.
2-1
Round 4: Paul Lynch
Paul and I intentionally drew into the top 4.
0-0-1
Round 5: (Top 4): Paul Lynch with U/W Miracles
Paul got me in lockdown in game one with Counter-Top, followed by a Jace, the Mind Sculptor. I scooped to the counter-top fateseal lock.
In game two, Paul got mana flooded and I was able to get creatures in for the kill.
In game three, I got Gaddock Teeg out early, followed by Sigarda, Host of Herons. I hit Paul for lethal while he had ten great but uncastable cards on top of his library.
2-1
Round 6: (Top 4) Nick Thompson with RUG Delver
Even though I am favored in this matchup and have already defeated Nick, we agreed to split. (Plus, Eric and Jimmy wanted to play EDH)
0-0-1
We each walked away with $26.50 in store credit. This is the first time that I have done really well with Maverick. I feel like sticking with the deck has made me better with it.
Until next time.
