I made Top 4 of the Legacy Championship at Eternal Weekend playing Doomsday-less Tempo. I am super happy with how I did this weekend even if I am not a big fan of the current format. I think this means I top 8d the two biggest paper legacy events of the year in the US

I top 8d with my take on Grixis Tempo Doomsday at Legacy Pit Open. I went 11-1-1 in the Swiss for first seed (matchups below) and the deck felt great all weekend. I died to delver in quarters but I think the deck is super good. I love this deck so so much 😊

One of my biggest problems with current Nerd culture is that there is no line between feeling anger vs expressing rage. Feeling angry is acceptable and a reasonable outcome, but expressing rage is not healthy and good for you or others around you, and is way too acceptable

I am the fish who acquired most of her duals post 2020. I would prefer the formats gated by the RL to be playable to a wider range of people, and I doubt that OG printings would even lose value. Wotc embracing bling cards and keeping normal printings accessible is good actually

Cards printed in a language I cannot read are unfun in a tournament experience as they slow down the game as I have to recall information or look up the oracle text and can cause confusion/misplays as magic is about keeping a clean board state. This is unfixable and that's okay

As a Tempo expert the definition of tempo is You may return an Island you control to its owner's hand rather than pay this spell's mana cost. Counter target spell unless its controller pays 1.

The problem with modern hatebears is that they are not symmetrical. Lavinia should be symmetrial, she should hate all free spells. Your Bowmasters should trigger for your opponent when you draw extra cards. We should be hating everyone equally

Legacy and Vintage are Mickey Mouse formats anyway why wouldn't I want more people to enjoy them? They are the "competitive" formats that are for "casuals" at this point. As someone with an "expensive" deck, I love to proxy other decks so I can play different decks

Magic is a game that should be able to be enjoyed by all, however, formats such as Legacy & Vintage are not. These expensive formats are for true veterans who have cultivated a collection & have years of experience. I love to drive, but I have no business driving a NASCAR 2/2
