Success! I played and early Ardenn and by the time anyone had removal for it, the value train had already rolled into the station. I had Halfdane copy the stats on Gishath, then on Hunted Horror. I had Leyline Axe and Umezawa's Jitte both on my base 7/7 commander. Once removal showed up, it was...

Played this deck again on Friday. Had an awkward start with several strong and flashy cards that spooked the table, but not a single one-drop or two-drop goblin in sight. So I led with Three Tree City, Skullclamp, Ruby Medallion, and finally Krenko, Mob Boss. But on my fourth turn, all I could...

First outing for this deck (the evening of the day I originally posted it) was a miserable failure. I was very manascrewed and sat around until someone mercy-killed me.

This deck ties together a few different threads. Ordinarily, I try to build some thematically appropriate deck for Thanksgiving every year. Well, after a couple of years I established that my Halloween deck must have All Hallow's Eve and that my Christmas deck must use snow-covered lands. Since...

I actually started this thread because I had the notion to start a Magic Memories thread for Worm Harvest, and I thought that I'd already done one for Squandered Resources. When a search revealed that I'd never actually covered the older card, I figured that Squandered Resources was the better...

Played this deck for my final game tonight. It actually was looking pretty good for me. I had the Spirit Mirror + Unnatural Selection combo to pick off pesky attackers, and was starting to really take advantage of Shared Fate. My opponents were both in a position where they still threatened one...

Played this deck tonight. I put Sword of Feast and Famine on Ifh-Bíff Efreet, and one of my opponents eventually used that to kill me. So yes, I lost as this deck usually does, but it's a kind of moral victory.

Well, I brought this deck to my first game tonight. After mulligans finally got me lands, I couldn't find a source of black mana, so I was mostly unable to play anything. One of my opponents was totally popping off with a K'rrik deck, but he was directing damage at the other two players, as I...

I played this deck again last night for the first time in forever. Had a rough start, but did eventually get to cast Eureka. The same Prosper deck I played three other games against that night, of which it had already won two in the same fashion (the other was aborted midway through, but my...

I played this deck last night, but one of my opponents was piloting the same damn Prosper deck that I played against three other times that night. Despite my attempts to get some sort of pirate combo going, I fell behind on mana early, and his engine brought him way ahead of the rest of the...

Played this deck last night in a one-on-one game against the same deck that crushed my goblins. Because more players were showing up, the other guy called for us to end the game so that we could run with a full pod. I didn't make him concede for it, but I do contend that I was totally winning.

Tried this deck last night, but the manascrew was even worse. I never saw a third land!

With just five of the "Legends legends" to go, I needed to figure out what kind of deck to build for Riven Turnbull. Based on his flavor text, he's not a big fan of the government, but that's not much to go on. Well, he's also a mana dork, but he's a horribly overcosted one by today's standards...

Despite using Land Tax to keep my hand full of discard fodder and drawing lots of extra cards, I got pretty stuck with this deck last night and should have lost. Despite my deck's failings, two of my opponents successfully stopped the third from dominating the game, eventually picking him off...

Played this deck again for the first time in a while. My enchantments got hit by Austere Command with the worst possible timing. I probably could have locked the game down if I'd played a little bit differently here. Oops.

Tried the new list again, I was able to eliminate one opponent with a souped up Danitha Capashen, but I couldn't pull it off a second time.

Played this last night. Tried to set up a potential combo turn with creatures, but the board got wiped the turn before I went for it. So I took my time, set up a storm combo turn for Mind's Desire, then stormed off and killed the table with Tendrils of Agony.

Played this deck again. This time All Hallow's Eve allowed an opponent to set up a graveyard that won with damaging EtB triggers. The pirates put up a fight, but they were outgunned.

I had to do a deck for Sol'kanar at some point. Originally, I had this whole plan of spamming a bunch of black spells to gain life, stuff like Blood Pet. But I'm lazy and about to turn 40 and I'm just throwing together this weird combo deck that is kind of high-power but also not actually very...

Why do I even keep following Legacy as a format? Is it just inertia for having been invested in the format for the past 21 years? Is it that unbanning Mind's Desire somehow bought more of my interest? Is it that I just love to complain about WotC? If it's that last one, they sure are giving me...
