Game 1: I only had Shambling Shell in the opener so I was very slow to start. I had played against this opponent in past tournaments, so he knew what to expect, which made it a bit more difficult. I recovered from setbacks extremely well both post-side games. I credit this to the 'resilience' of this deck: when the game goes long, the deck does not get weaker, especially when mass grave removal does not appear. The second and third games went quite long, nearly to time. I beat with Nether Shadow for a while, Bridge was Extracted, but eventually Ichorid showed up and I played Therapy to seal it. He didn't have the other combo parts and never drew them. I played Unmask early on and took a Shallow Grave. Game 3: I don't have many notes for this game since I didn't cast Therapy early. Nether Shadow was Extracted later on, but I dredged enough Ichorid to get there. I was able to get to 8 and begin dredging. He tried to combo the next turn but the Faerie nixed it. The turn before he was ready to combo, he Therapied a Faerie away but I drew one off the top. played two Duress and two Cabal Therapy to slow me down. I had Trap in the opening hand, but my vs. Game 2: Sided in the Faeries, Unmask, Mindbreak Trap.

There was not one gravehate card cast against me in those matches. I won against Slivers, lost against Dream Halls-Omniscience, and then won against Sneak & Show and Death & Taxes. I played in the Legacy challenge on Saturday night and went 3-1. You can look over on to the thread in Established Decks to investigate the discussion. Later on I'll experiment with some different things.

The weakest card was Unmask, which probably lost me a match early on. I tried different cards in the sideboard and didn't know what would be best when the tournament began. There should have been a Blightsteel Colossus instead of Darksteel Colossus in the maindeck, but I failed to acquire one before the tournament. I played Manaless Dredge with Balustrade Spy. Also, I see there are very few reports posted and I hope more people will write about their experiences as well. Playing cards isn't so much a game as an experience to me meeting new people and observing how they operate in a tournament environment is fun and interesting, and I hope to play in many more tournaments in the future. I decided to write a report about my experience because I haven't played a major tournament in about 7 years, and I enjoy writing about Magic. Hello, I'm RT and I played Legacy at SCG Washington DC this weekend.
