For my first attempt, I decided to fuel up Brew Force One, and built a list using lots of artifact fast mana, then 《Brain Freeze》 (or 《Grinding Station》) to mill myself to find 《Cabal Therapy》, 《Narcomoeba》, 《Bridge from Below》 and 《Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis》, and in some cases getting back 《Altar of Dementia》 with 《Sevinne’s Reclamation》 (or 《Dread Return》 on 《Sharuum the Hegemon》) for the kill. I went through various iterations of Hogaak decks, some of them were rather experimental, while others I was close to submitting for the GP. Hogaak seemed well positioned against these decks. I expected the metagame to shift, with different fair blue decks occupying a large share of the metagame, and then a lot more Death and Taxes decks showing up. But since everything had already been booked, and despite not having a lot of incentives, I decided to still put in some work, exploring a wide variety of Legacy archetypes. I didn’t feel that motivated to test Legacy for the GP, and considered to only play Mystery Draft side events, as I had just won a PTQ and made top 8 at the Standard GP to qualify for the first Players Tour. Luckily, unlike Standard, Legacy is one of the least time-sensitive formats in regards to information becoming obsolete. It took me longer than usual to put this article together, as I find it more difficult to provide useful advice on a format I’m not that familiar with, so if all the Legacy specialists could cut me some slack, that would be greatly appreciated. 🙁Īs you can probably already tell, I don’t think Legacy is the format where most of my expertise lies, but seeing as I made top 8 at Grand Prix Bologna, I knew I wouldn’t be able to avoid writing about the format. If I remember correctly, there was an announcement that players at 0-3 in the main event might be forced to drop, as there simply wasn’t enough playing space once all the bye players entered the event, oh how times have changed. Ironically, the first Grand Prix at which I qualified for a Pro Tour was the crazy Legacy GP in Madrid, which, possibly even more ironically, was the biggest GP to date back then, with 2227 competitors and 17 rounds. Congratulations to for making back-to-back Grand Prix Top 8s! #MTGBologna /xQNN02tdsB- ChannelFireball December 1, 2019
