In addition to that event, our good friend Rob Wilson of the Buffalo Chicken Dip Legacy Series posted a tweet showcasing some of the venue shots for the upcoming BCDL Open in November. I would be remiss of course without posting the sick First Place list for this event though.

You can find all of the Top 8 decklists for this event over here and more information on Dragon Master Games over here on their Facebook. This event had 44 players in it and sounded like a solid time. We've got some paper event stuff going on here as of late, with our first bit being on a Legacy 2K held at Dragon Master Games in NY on. Paper Event News - Dragon Master Games Legacy 2K and BCDL Open Venue Stuff There's a lot of very Vintage level sensibilities about this decklist and it looks extremely powerful.ĭefinitely keep some eyes on this deck because it looks like it is very good. You don't arrive at numbers like three copies of Breakthrough or one Karn, the Great Creator without having sat down and done the math and iterating on it. There are a lot of really meaningful choices in the construction of this deck. This makes for a very powerful combination by giving the deck many ways to draw through to its payoffs, which include cards like Brain Freeze, Grapeshot, and even Karn, the Great Creator.įirst and foremost, this deck is very much like an Artifact based Storm deck in its construction, using cards like Defense Grid to protect its combo from interaction, while also having Urza's Saga as a backup plan to win the game with. This deck utilizes the functionality of the Construct well by using Riddlesmith, Breakthrough, and Gamble as engines to cast many zero mana value Artifacts and churn through the deck as quickly as possible, using cards like Echo of Eons to reset itself and continue drawing.

Despite rumblings of an Artificer's Intuition deck floating about, the card didn't really do much and ultimately fell out of people's radar. This is what we've seen time and time again with many different decks that have broken into the format before this, and I suspect that there's just much more open space to consider than we really can see in the format.Ī deck that has been making the rounds lately in the format Challenges and leagues is one such as this, known commonly as 'The Riddler' due its use of the card Riddlesmith.Ĭontainment Construct on the surface looked like a very powerful card in general, providing a lot of really high power level plays, but it never really took off in terms of play amongst the community at large. Occasionally it takes some time for certain cards to find the right shell in this format, and it's even more difficult to figure out the right way to approach a deck without a lot of time put into it. Without further ado, let's dive right in! Riddles For Fun and Profit Howdy folks! It's time yet again for another edition of This Week in Legacy! I'm your host, Joe Dyer, and this week we're going to be digging into a sweet deck that has been making the rounds in Challenges and such, utilizing Containment Construct and Riddlesmith! In addition to that, we've got some paper event stuff going on, as well as data from this past weekend's MTGO Challenges.
