Now that everyone is out of the tournaments, here's the list and some thoughts:

I'M A VINTAGE CHAMPION

[Alex McKinley @vivarus_]

@am_usea Yeah, I think all that to say that Tamiyo herself is a powerful proactive piece and the opponent feels the pressure of the minus more than the controller feels the power of it

[The EPIC Storm @mtgtheepicstorm]

League deck wins participation trophy🏆

Congrats to Andrew Vachon for winning today's Legacy Challenge!

[Alex McKinley @vivarus_]

@Bryant_Cook @PunishingMTGO That's a "feature" from before my time

[Alex McKinley @vivarus_]

@Bryant_Cook Looks like you're ready to learn!

[Yoni Ariel @Yoni_EX]

Just got home from Italy! I ended up going 8th at EW!! Shoutout to @Bryant_Cook for the sb and the tutoring, i really believe it had a huge part of me doing so well (Also being lucky is important)

[James @AfrO4E]

LFT for PL and Champs all regions.

Dm me on X or Discord.

Vouches appreciates 😁

[JDG Talmadge @talmadgeapex]

LFT for Champs

[Alex McKinley @vivarus_]

Super reasonable take if you also ban Spy and Informer

[Matthew @Ozymandias172]

Some thoughts on Legacy bans

@njso18 What would you need tef's for? Also the mana is not great to begin with

[Alex McKinley @vivarus_]

🏆 5-0 with @Bryant_Cook's Grinding Breach today. Deck is powerful and bolstered by both Faithless Looting and Mox Opal -- especially Opal

Member's video if you want to see from Bryant now, otherwise gotta wait!

Wondering about Urza's Saga and Gamble in The EPIC Storm? @Bryant_Cook, @MeTheKaptain, and I did a lot of testing for Eternal Weekend this year. I've got the full story here:

@BoshNRoll As someone who just abused vexing bauble all weekend it is the card that needs to go.
Will be laying out my case in the coming weeks to anyone that will have me.

Played Bant Nadu in the showcase today to a 7-2 record for 25th place! List is inspired by @dominharvia . Green Sun's might be better overall, but SFM performed for me today!

Top 8 in today's Legacy Showcase challenge. Tryharding a little bit through Swiss, ultimately disappointed in some micro-decisions missed, but feeling alright about all the major matchups.
