Here is a great report by Matt Phillinger from the Starcity Games Legacy Open on 1/10 in Philly.
My run at Scg Philly was short lived. One win from day 2. My opponents were in order round 1-9
Round 1 MUD, won the die roll. Play turn one Monastery Swiftspear, she basically took over the game with flip delver at the wingmate. Game one was a win
Game 2, he had me on the back foot with a turn 1 Chalice of the Void for 1, which is really hard for aggressive decks like u/r delver to over come. As an kept a more fair, hand with bolts and ponders that match. Game two was a loss.
Game 3, on the play its really hard to not do well with x3 lands delver swift sear brainstorm daze. It was a blowout. He never resolved a spell. Over all bolt flipped two of my delver. Game three was a win.
Round 2 Elves. Game one, my opponent won the die roll, high 3 over my 2. Gg. He plays turn one bayou deathrire. I'm thinking jund. Fml... abrupt incoming. He proceeds to play 1 elf per turn getting none of his combo pieces to go off in a single turn. Once again Swifty to the rescue this time with Young Pyro. Forked bolt is a hose. So good. Game one win.
Game two, plays turn one deathrite, which was unfortunately *forked* see its like fucked. Get it. His turn two he searchs up dryad arbor, gets gaes cradle. And gets and insane board presence. I dazed one target he had two more. My nightmare. I had force. No blue card. Fmfl.. Game two was unfortunately a loss.
Game 3. This game I had an amazing hand. Delver, swifty, ponder, force, lands bolt. I just drew gas after that since the deck play under 20 lands. We get to turn 6, 7 I had his d.r named on pithing. And hard countered his natural order. His next turn top decks green sun, like harry fucking potter. He was at 1. Game 3 was a loss.
Round 3 , 1-1 feeling crushed my opponent decided not to show up. I felt almost mad I didn't get to see what was in this rooms meta so, I waited the 10 minutes. Walked around and was just watching games getting a feel.
Round 4, Storm. My opponent immediately says, hey man this is my first star city, which I thought was awesome, I was there once. I won the die roll and he was playing blue of counter spells. My delver couldn't swing fast enough. Bolts end of turn won me the game. His ability, to combo game 1 was almost shocking. Game 1 was a win.
Game 2, he plays petal, petal. Led, which I for some reason let resolve. Goes off turn 1 with ten goblins to follow. I got 8 off the board. It was too late at that point my treasure cruise, couldn't have sucked more. Daze daze bolt. Meh. Game 2 loss.
Game 3, I mull to 5. Daze land ponder swifty land. Not even mad. I play turn one swifty bash. His turn one is petal......petal..... led, which ate a daze. I GET A TURN 2!!!. I ponder the nuts , delver force brainstorm. Bash with swifty. We go back and forth. He ended up goblin charbelchering me. Merp. No smashed to smithereens with 25 cards left. Lol. Fml. Round 4 Loss.
2-2 ughhh. I was feeling defeated but hopeful. The rest of the day I ended up playing. Esper stone blade. The mirror. Sneak and show. Miracles. And Landstill. Going 5-3-1, idk why I thought I was 6-3. In my dreams maybe il day 2.
