Around the Web: Fresh Hot Legacy Lists
bdm | November 23, 2008 | 12:42 pmI don’t know if this is going to get linked anytime soon on the English side of the Okayama coverage but I thought people might be interested in the winning decklist — and the Top 8 decklists — from the Legacy Open on Sunday for an uncut sheet of Mishra’s Workshop and a bunch of other cards printed in Antiquities. There were 48 players, which meant 6 rounds and a Top 8 playoff. In the end it was Yuu Saitou, a Level 2 Japanese judge who won the prize with his AdStorm deck

Out of curiosity, are there any Legacy players amongst the top8magic fan base? I know of two Vintage players who regularly listen to the podcasts (myself and another character), but I’ve never noticed Legacy mentioned on the boards unless it was regarding a GP.
I have a Legacy tournament coming up in the next few weeks that’s offering a playset of Tundra to the winner, does that count?
I’m playing a twelve month old decklist, cuz i’m good at magic like that.
I’m interested in legacy like I’m interested in vintage. Cool to see decklists but its not like I’ll ever play the format.
There’s a legacy gp next year in Chi town. Seems relevant enough to me. Thanks for the list, is counterbalance/top/enlightened tutor still good? that seems insane, but ad nauseum may just be the nuts.
well, a counterbalance with 1 on the top more than likely destroys ad nasuaum….I’d prolly say counterbalance is best in a thresh list than anything that runs enlightenened tutor though…brainstorm/ponder/sac lands are pretty good at finding you what you might need
Worlds has the team event with Legacy also
Yes, ET/CB/SDT is still good
The 12 month old list i’m playing is Zvi’s worlds deck and I (actually) literally don’t lose in my (admittedly limited) testing.
CounterTop is more prevalent in the Legacy metagame than what the Okayama results suggest. The AdNauseam list above has no answer to Counterbalance (apart from a Hull Breach in the SB which could be fetched with Burning Wish but you’d be lucky if you ever resolve that against a deck with counters). Storm decks often run Wipe Away, Krosan Grip or Cleanfall/Tranquility (depending on the list) to fight Counterbalance.
Decks like Threshold (UGw and UGb versions), Ugb Landstill and Ugb control (incl. Intuition) all run CounterTop. The CounterTop + E.Tutor package is less common because UW contro lists are much better without it.
