DNT PLAYERS REJOICE

The paper event yesterday wasn't enough, so I decided to win a Challenge while all the good players are at EW. LEGACY = SAND R1: 2-0 GW 8Cub R2: 2-0 Grixis Control R3: 1-2 The Riddler R4: 2-1 UR Delver R5: 2-0 BUG Midrange R6: 2-0 UB Tempo QF: 2-0 UB Tempo SF: 2-1 Yawgmoth Combo F: 2-0 Breakfast

New primer on post-ban RW list will be coming soon, but I'm trying to go in-depth so I need a couple more weeks to draft it. Stay tuned!

Took down the 18-player Legacy 1K at F2F Toronto today with RW Energy. Matchups: R1: R Painter 🐱🐱 R2: G Post 🐱🐱 R3: GB Cradle 🐱🐱 R4 & R5: 🤝 QF: UR Delver 🐱🐱 SF: Forge 🐱❌🐱 F: GB Cradle (rematch) 🐱❌🐱 List: moxfield.com/decks/09s-aN... You basically cannot lose a fair game of Legacy with this deck. ⚡

She’s ready to feast! Not quite EW, but playing a 1k today at F2F Toronto. Looks like about 18 players - wish me luck!

Not entirely sure about the two Sunbaked Canyon in the current list. I think the life-loss is hurting me against UR in particular, which is a problem. I am at 8/6 fetches to fetchables, so I don't think I can go to 10/6. I could add a 4th Plat for 9/7 but then I worry about getting them in paper! 🤔

HELLO D&T PLAYERS! I just published an article with everything you need to know if you're playing D&T at the EU Legacy Champs this weekend! We've got: 🗒️Decklists 🤔Matchup strategy 📊AND a sideboard guide! All for free! Check it out on my Patreon! Down there ↓

Another day, another ⚡🏆. Don't remember all matchups but beat Mono R Storm somehow 😍 Same list as before, which I am now 14-1 with in matches - she is HUMMING

PSA: cards people think will win the game against ⚡️ Energy ⚡️(Toxic Deluge, Wrath of the Skies, flipped Tamiyo, etc.), are not actually that good. You can only remove one ‘canned army’ at a time with mass removal. Keep a well-rounded hand and get on the board with some blockers instead 🌈

Looks like we're not hiding any of the sweet new tech any more! ⚡🏆⚡ Shout-out to @psimekjr.bsky.social for drawing my attention to Spider-Punk / Kraza, which helps solve the problems of TOR & Chalice. Would recommend something close to this list for any EU-nergy gamers next week!🕷️🕷️

After talking big about GY hate being bad on stream yesterday, I have decided to try some GY hate 😂 Not enough characters to analyse the choices fully here, but the cuts are PoP + Forth. Vacuum should pull double duty in many of the Forth matchups, while Surgical provides T0 capability alongside J.

ok you win this round, Jegantha haters

The UNPRECEDENTED R2 Jegantha mirror (lands) after a R1 Jegantha mirror (painter) Have legacy players finally realised 8 card starting hands are good??!

At last… ultimate power in the palm of my hand

BAH GAWD THAT'S SAND SCOUT'S MUSIC 🎺 🎺 twitch.tv/jwvh10665

Impromptu 🐱 stream in about 40 minutes! twitch.tv/jwvh10665

We did it (do not play this card) ⚡

I think T3 Forth Eorlingas! is farming more early concessions for me than any other card I have ever played

Found a [[Masked Meower]] at the drugstore in Montréal

Got a couple of 4-1s with this, no 🏆 yet. List is feeling pretty clean and I think Masked Meower / Skittering Kitten is the real deal - proactive red permanent, flips Ajani, synergy with Quarry, etc. I won't rest until Legacy players have to pick up and read every single card in this deck 📖👀

With Entomb gone from the format, I'm once again asking if I can send Sand Scout to the moon. Here's the list I'll be starting with: moxfield.com/decks/09s-aN... . PoP and Abrade are calls for my expected post-ban metagame: lots of Post, Eldrazi, and UR Cutter. Not currently respecting Oops!

2nd place at the Legacy 1k today (10 players) with Mardu ⚡️. Matchups: R1 R Painter: 🐱 🐱 R2 Burn: ❌ 🐱 ❌ (FML) R3 Bant Birds: 🐱 🐱 R4 G Post: 🐱 ❌ 🐱 R5 UR Cutter: 🤝 SF Burn: 🐱 🐱 F UR Cutter: ❌ 🐱 ❌ Took too reactive a line in G3 of the finals but had a great time all weekend with my cats. 🐈 🐈‍⬛

Burn mirror at table 2!

Braving the first snowfall ❄️ of the year to run it back at another F2F Legacy event today! Same list 🐱, better luck! 🎲

Me when I trophy a league

Legacy for Duals at F2F Tour Toronto today! Wish me luck 🍀 ⚡️

Join me in the B&R waiting room! Jumping on the Arena cube bandwagon (Inspiring Vantage > Plateau) twitch.tv/jwvh10665

Playing paper magic this weekend so I'm going to do a casual cube stream in an hour! twitch.tv/jwvh10665

Nice 3-2 on stream with my first take on the Green Machine list. I'm going to try a less saga-centric version next (pictured below). Deck is a lot of fun and can kill out of nowhere!

Live now for a Mean Green Machine Stream! twitch.tv/jwvh10665

Streaming some legacy in about an hour! Going to workshop @faultedform.bsky.social ‘s recent trophy deck (GREEN MACHINE) twitch.tv/jwvh10665

Fascinated by the fact that Mardu Energy came 2nd in both of the last Showcase Challenges, with an identical MD and totally different SBs. I've been struggling myself to build a SB I like for the deck - it's hard to figure out what's more effective than the core synergies already are.

On tonight's episode of "Thanks for flipping my Ajani":

I'm sorry, Ajani-bro 😭

Good news! I have re-written my ⚡Legacy Energy⚡ primer for the 🐱💀MARDU💀🐱 version, with all my thoughts, tips, and 🔥hot takes🔥 on the archetype - in good time for you to take the deck to EW in Lucca! Check it out (and pour one out for🔭🏜️Sand Scout🏜️🔭): docs.google.com/document/d/1...

ok I actually cooked with this one

Pretty clean 4-1 with Mardu Cats today. Lost to UB Tempo by keeping hands with poor mana. I think I like this angle of just upping the land count to help the mana and playing Jegantha to compensate. Here's my list (24 lands, cutting 3rd therapy): moxfield.com/decks/eTel8U...

Streaming some legacy leagues in about 20 minutes!

I ran a few scripts to determine the unpowered data for EW NA. 82 decks out of 420 appear to be unpowered (if this worked right :D) 20%????? of the field was unpowered Note: Scam bucket still contains blue and no blue. Picture for reference.

No stream tomorrow because it's Thanksgiving here. Life continues to interfere!

Really stoked that someone's showcasing the power of Mono B in Vintage! Might be regretting describing it as 'unplayable' last week 😅

We ranked every deck in Vintage! And even some things that aren't Vintage decks!

Pretty weird that the two most problematic things in my MTG sphere right now are UB and UB

No stream this week - the Challenge tomorrow is a Showcase and I am QP-poor atm. I am keen to play some challenges with DNT though since I think it is quite good in the current meta. Catch you next week!

Going live for more vintage gaming! This time it's froggier: twitch.tv/jwvh10665

Streaming the vintage challenge tomorrow at 1pm! Added some good cards to my bad deck 🐸 🐘 🌊

4-4 in the Super Qualifier today! It was good to stream again. Not an ideal record, but lots of testing with the Mono B deck that I’m having a lot of fun with. 💀 Going to try a blue splash for power next. 🌊 See you next week! 👋

We are live in 5 for the Vintage Super Qualifier today! Playing a brew 💀 💀 💀 www.twitch.tv/jwvh10665
