Top 4’d Vintage Champs and Top 32’d Legacy Champs!!
What a wild weekend of wonderful opponents and great topdecks ☺️
Used the winnings to justify picking up a very exciting Magic card
6-3 in the legacy showcase challenge and 5-0 🏆 between rounds with Sneak and Show. Deck was good. I got lucky in some spots, unlucky in others. Had fun overall.

BTW the showcase top 8 apparently has 3 tron and a post-ban oops deck 🤔
Quick Legacy B&R Reactions:
Yay for the Oops ban!
I also appreciate the bit saying “warning: the Tron deck might eat a ban soon, so maybe don’t drop 15k on candles right now”
To be clear for @wizards_magic on EW NA falling on Halloween:
I won Vintage in 2024.
I top 4’d Vintage in 2025.
I would’ve loved to try to run it back in 2026, but because it’s on Halloween, I’m not gonna be a dad who skips trick or treating with his kids to go play Magic.
To be fair having Eternal Weekend on Halloween in those years was a shit idea then and it’s still a shit idea now but WOTC doesn’t plan on changing the date.
Making terrible decisions in the past doesn’t mean we have to keep making them.
Eternal Weekend NA over Halloween?!
Can’t wait to explain to my kids that Daddy can’t go trick-or-treating this year because he has to cast an Ancestral Recall in Pittsburgh 🙃
I expect a lot of Legacy/Vintage players are in a similar position. Can we move the date a week?
Wanted to just make a post since I haven’t in a while. @romarioneto3 Jared and I record a weekly Legacy podcast. If you are interested in random small talk and Legacy discussion, you should give it a listen. Hard to believe we are almost 3 years in. Link ⬇️
I think I am ready to see Oops banned out of Legacy.
The format feels really fun except for matches against it (win or lose), and budget Legacy combo gamers can play Necrodominance instead, which is a slightly weaker but more interesting deck.
