On now, a match-up I've never seen before, MUD against a mono blue Aether Vial deck with Martyr of Frost, Judge's Familiar, Cursecatcher, Spellstutter Sprite and Nivmagus Elemental. Awesome.

Manages to survive through two Blightsteel attacks. The deck is hilarious. I can't tell whether it is amazing or terrible, but I'm enjoying watching. My inclination is to say terrible.

Wow, these are the type of deck I want to see in the beginning rounds. Competitive deck can always be seen in later rounds. Interesting decks like this really shows the diversity of deck within the legacy format. Not to mention it can increase the creativity of legacy deck.

I may just build this Mono-Blue deck with proxies to **** with my friends. It seems like its just a blast if you actually can pull off the combo/lock. Such a great match to watch.

That deck is so sweet, when your opponent has to read half your cards and is seemingly having fun even when losing just because you went FULL RIDICULOUS on your brew, that's a great thing to see in magic.

truth be told I'm a tad tired of the same old on camera, this is refreshing!

I need a decklist so bad. That seems hilarious; it's great that people are realizing how nuts B2B is.

Sky Hussar was crazy in that list. The guy was drawing three cards a turn for half the match for free. It is hard for any deck to beat that.

Someone should get Greg to post his list somewhere, id love it so much.

Food chain combo deck now, I'm enjoying seeing these types of deck.

Top 8 has just begun:

(1) Charbelcher vs. (8) U/G Food Chain
(4) U/R Delver vs. (5) Sneak & Show
(3) Mono-Green Post vs. (6) Manaless Dredge
(2) BUG Control vs. (7) Patriot

What a top 8.

Mono-Green Post vs. Manaless Dredge is on camera.

of course the delver decks rise to the top

Yup! Looking at the last couple weeks makes it pretty laughable that folks though TNN was going to warp the format. The Legacy meta is fascinating and diverse of late - perhaps more so than ever.

Actually, the BUG control took first. There's a lot of variance in a eight player elimination round, though. I wouldn't put much weight into the specific rank within the top eight.

Pleasantly surprised to see the old-school UR taking 2nd. I always really liked that deck, but I thought most people had abandoned it.

2 out of 8 is hardly overwhelming numbers, especially when compared to just a few months ago. Legacy can so easily adapt to the top threat that nothing dominates for very long.

Does anyone have the Foodchain list? I've seen Joe Losset playing a BUG version on stream that looks really fun and am hoping this is something similar.

SCG always posts the deck lists of the top players after the tournament http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=65228

Great thank you! This looks really fun to play

Nah, it was game 2. The first game ended so fast that the game counter wasn't updated until near the end of the second game.

I'm looking for that blue list because I am hopelessly devoted to Judge's Familiar.

Phimus, the guy who won with BUG control plays around me. I think we've played each other once and he's a funny guy. Really happy for him.

Is there a Food Chain thread? I haven't found one in Developing or Established.

I think there used to be one, but it fell off the first page of Developing and hasn't been seen since.

Speaking of Food Chain, I tried the Top 8 list on Cockatrice and it's a blast to play. Thanks to Shardless Agent (often into Manipulate Fate), it can outgrind stuff like Jund somewhat easily, and it's surprisingly not dead against combo, even in Game 1.

Manipulate Fate hates me in this deck, though--too often, I'm stuck exiling the last Misthollow Griffin, the last Manipulate Fate, then having no clue what to exile (especially if Misdirection is good in that match-up).
