MTG thread
- Thread starter brekk
- Start date
I have been playing for close to 20 years and even now I have to always tell myself to SLOW DOWN! Take your time and think. Before you say go, look at your hand, your mana, the board, etc. Most mistakes I make is when I say go without looking around and realizing what is going on. Besides that, just practice, practice, practice.
Indeed. If they had something like that going I would have been playing mtgo for years. Played some physical mtg like around 4th-5th editions but the costs put me and my friends off finally. Basically since then I've kinda wanted to get back but mtgo and the pricing schemes are just too shitty. Magic 2013 and 2014 were fun for a bit but they are basically adds that you pay for.
Looks like hearthstone will scratch the itch for me now thou so I don't have to hope for a mtgo miracle.

Not for something the size of an IQ. Those are local feeder tournaments. The actual invitationals usually happen at an Open or GP event. Those have SCG vendors (and GP events typically have several others).
There's a local shop I can snag a Wasteland at, which is the only really expensive card I still need. The rest I am going to try and scrounge from Modern night at a place near me this week. Besides the Wasteland, all I need are a couple of Gaddock Teegs and a MM reprint or two. Chalice of the Void, and I think a Maelstrom Pulse.

Don't sweat it so much, it's still just Magic. What I do like about Legacy is you can play a 7 or 8 round tournament and maybe play against the same deck maybe twice instead of like a Standard tournament where in 7 or 8 rounds you'll play against 3 decks total.Thanks Grabbit! If I can't find one this week I may take you up on that.
I'm sure I'll get annihilated since I haven't played a sanctioned Legacy tournament since it was called Type 1.5.

Oh totally. I play Magic to chill out and relax, even in tournaments. I mostly want to go so that I can experience a couple more legacy decks. I've played vs. Sneak and Show, Shardless BUG, Esper Stoneblade, RUG Delver and Countertop. Never Death and Taxes, or Goblins, or Charbelcher (though I've watched matches).
My Sneak and Show matchup is actually pretty favorable, and given that it is such a popular deck right now I'm looking forward to it.

Did you show up Heylel? I totally spaced and forgot you were going to be there. I top 8'd it, but lost to a Delver player.

Yeah, I was there in a brown fleece and jeans playing Loam. I did horrifically, 1-3-1, but that's roughly what I expected for my first Legacy event. All of my matches went to 3 games, which I consider a small victory since I never was outright demolished. The tie was to that dude playing Merfolk. I almost gave him the match just to be friendly, but he acted like a dick the entire time so I let it go to time. I watched him try to cheat at least twice earlier in the day too.

I was the guy in the Oklahoma sweatshirt. I went in to the Top 8 as the #1 seed if that helps you remember me. I wish I hadn't been so focused on Magic and remembered you were going to be there so we had time to chat and play.
I played n the Standard IQ in Leeds, Alabama today and top 8'd it too, but ousted in the first round. /sigh.
