FEBRUARY 2018: Legacy storm

 

11 February 2018

Kick Engines, Cubao Expo

Duel for Duals

My second 2018 legacy tournament was at Kick Engine's Duel for Duals (January 28th). Even though I did not win a round, I am still satisfied because it helped freshen up my legacy storm line of plays which is (I think) very helpful for my preparation for the upcoming Asian team Grand Prix. On February 11th Kick Engines had their monthly Duel for Duals legacy tournament. I decided to be part of it again because of two reasons: (i) the event will be a very good groundwork for the GP; and (ii) redemption. Here's the 75 that I brought.

Notes

- BR Reanimator: He got a second turn Iona Angel out (on black). He managed to hit me twice before top decking a Chain of Vapor for the win. 

- Managed to get through in front of double Daze, Spell Pierce and Force of Will.

- Game three versus lands, I drew bricks after shredding his hands with disruptions.

- Still fetching those god damn wrong lands. I need to improve in this aspect.

- Brainstorm, Ponder, Gitaxian Probe, and Preordain: it is very important to know the proper sequence of these cantrips in order for you to maximize your digging power. 

Thanks for reading.
