Feel free to chat as you please in here; it doesn't matter if your posts tie into Legacy. We will be using a more lax implementation of the rules in here, so spammier posts and the like are more likely to be tolerated.

This is not an additional venue for Ban List discussion. You know where that thread is.

Nice... Besides playing magic... I enjoy watching b horror films and writing. Originally I was going to write a Magic resource book but I got overwhelmed when wizards made Ravnica in 2005...
I'm afraid that the BFZ fetches will look amazing in person and then require me to get them for Aluren
In other news, I managed to draw yet another match to opposing slow play. I really need to pull the trigger on asking for a judge to spectate for pace sooner.
Fell into the slow play bracket due to an opponent playing consistently 10-30second turns (some turns longer than that, none shorter).

Yes! I finally got to play Shardless BUG tonight, and it's a fun and powerful deck. First time playing it and I had so many play mistakes, but I missed no triggers or Shaman triggers. I have a feeling that I am a tap out player. Won against Reanimator, drew against the mirror, and lost to Dredge and Junk without SFM and running Souls.
Hello community Excited to see this thread as I've been gone for the game for a few years - got a little too busy with being a college student, and mostly I got to borrow cards to play Legacy from friends in the area. Alas, perhaps I'll start building a real Legacy deck soon. I do own my beloved Affinity, but it appears to be a bad choice in the moment.
I was actually wondering what happened to you a year or so back. Good to know you're alive and kicking. Almost at the graduation finish line, or is the torture needing to continue on?

Hahaha... Yeah. I tried to keep current, but it was too hard with studying and things.
I'm starting my fourth year (I'm at the University of Chicago), and my friend's cube is getting me more and more back into the game... we'll see what happens. I might play standard for the first time since Scars block this coming school year. The hope is to get a job that supports a Legacy habit, so maybe in a year or two I'll be playing it again.
As for BfZ... the new lands duals will be amazing budget options for many decks, especially control ones, as running lots of basics and fetches is par for the course here. Brutal Explosion will be looked at, if only because it's the only other card in existence to do what Venser does. Stasis Snare will probably not see play. Shame it's not ORing with flash D: Radiant Flames is not worthless... it's pyroclasm that kills 3/3s for 1 more. I don't think any of the other cards are worth even pausing to read from a Legacy POV.
Today began at 7am in Spain and will end probably at 10pm in California. As much as it's already been way too long of a day, I must admit that it's going to be good to be home.
So much to catch up on tomorrow now that I'm no longer traveling though.

New to Legacy... the combo aspects of Monastery Mentor Miracles intrigues me - especially the loop involving Mentor and a pair of Tops.
But I can't figure out how you loop the tops. I get that you use one top to draw the other one off the 'top of your library, but after that, you don't have a top in play to use and draw the other one (the one that is now on top of your library)... unless you have an open mana so you can play the one you just drew.
I know I'm missing something. Can anyone explain this to me?

The combo is exactly as you've said. It is similar to Thopter Combo. You draw the Top off of each other using all available mana. If the game goes long enough, you can one shot someone.
Today was a good day if you're a Shardless BUG and Burn player.

At least we got our money back though. I immediately spent it on two Windswept Heath. I was thinking Verdant Catacombs, but didn't want to spend more money.
*edit*
I forgot to tell you, I beat a Junk deck yesterday that played turn two Warmth on the draw. Felt good man.
Did you enjoy the lightning bolts happening during the night?

I saw the Warmth in play. I had no idea that you somehow beat it.
I'm still experiencing lingering ebullience from winning without comboing against a board of 4 tarmogoyf and 3 shardless agent (plus 1 jace and 2 liliana thrown in there at varying points). That was just the sweetest of thrills.

Y0! Where you at Expired? I want to personally gloat that I won two byes for tomorrow at the second Last Chance Trial I played. I beat Reanimator, Shardless, Lands, UWR Delver, and Hive Mind. The first one played in I beat WR D&T(please tell me there's a cool name for this deck) and something that apparently didn't leave an impression on me because I can't remember. I lost that one to a four color Tezz deck, running green for Decay and red for Dack Fayden. Played Burn because Burn is life. Burn is love.
*Edit*
That deck I'm forgetting was Junk. Close games now that I can remember.
