LCV6 #4 Top8 – Guillem Ragull VS Xavi Hurtado G2

I should have the 3rd game ready for tomorrow. So, stay tunned!

I managed to record videos from the last Catalan Vintage League (LCV) in Berga. I’m doing some tests with the editing so I’d love to hear the suggestions, etc…

LCV6 #4 Top8 – Guillem Ragull VS Xavi Hurtado G1

I can advance you that Guillem reached the finals but lost to Israel Muñoz (to whom I lost as well in the swiss…).

As far as I can remember, in the top8 there were: 2 Workshops (1 MUD, 1 Blue Shops), 2 Tezzeret (1 Remora/Confidant, 1 with Welders), 1 Repeal Tendrils, 1 Zoo, 1 Iona/15-15 Oath, 1 Food-Chain Goblins.

The winner list was using Master of Etherium and Esperzoa main deck, as well as In the Eye of Chaos!

JACO asked me if I could repost the video we recorded 2 years ago at GP Madrid. In the video, mr. Tedin draws JACO’s playmat, what I believe, is the best art he did in the whole weekend; a Drain-hearted Necropotence. I hope you guys enjoy the video again!

Last Sunday we played in Badalona this Grand Prix Trial with 75 players. Enric Luzan, as usual, brought his video cam and recorded few games. This time tho, he couldn’t record that many as there were byes for the top4 and I guess they split the money.

Anyways, this are his quarterfinal games against Xavier Muntada.

Enric Luzán (aka ercoman) not only is a future rock star, but he’s also the guy who’s releasing most amount of  Legacy videos lately. He’s editing the videos, cutting them, etc… to make the watch more entertaining and easy to follow. All I gotta say is: THANK YOU!

I’ll be bringing, from now on, all his videos starting from last weekend’s Legacy GPT in Ripollet (Barcelona). You can watch the past videos at ercoman’s YouTube channel and leave comments, suggestions, etc… in there. I’ll be adding (later) a RSS link and a little banner to his channel so you can follow him and never lose the track of what’s going on in Legacy.

It’s been a while since my last Vintage tournament appearance. It was December’s LCV4 in Lloret de Mar. There I managed to top8 with a pretty solid UB Tezzeret Control deck. Well, I gotta admit that I’ve played zero Vintage games since then. Work is keeping me too busy to be able to meet with my buddies to play-test at all, but from time to time I have the chance to sneak into one of the small vintage tournaments that are held at La Màquina del Temps (shop who organizes LCV and LCL).

Today was a rainy Sunday and my girlfriend was busy meeting some friend for a coffee, so, I decided it was a good time to show up and play some vintage! Opened my binders and check what I could play with the hope of finding something new and original to have some fun. Saw my AK’s and those led me to my gorgeous playset of Thoughtcast Foil Japanese. Man, I had an idea!

While searching my Thoughtcasts I met Master of Etherium and Sperzoa, and convinced myself of playing them to fight the fishy metagame that I would probably find at the shop.

Maindeck is a simplified version of the Tezzcast deck that has been played around here and there. I wanted to make it slightly more solid to improve the matchup against Fish, so I decided to make it plain blue/black. No red nor green to support. But I said I was expecting a heavy Fish metagame, so, how would I combat Null Rod then? I wouldn’t! Instead, I transformed my deck into a more aggro-control version substituting the combo parts for creatures. (Notice as well the 2 main deck Sower of Temptation).

17:30 at the shop. Only 8 people showed up (understandable) so I actually knew I was gonna Top8 xDDDD We are playing 3 straight rounds of swiss, no top4. That equals home for dinner which is also nice!

Round 1: Xavier Muntada with UW Fish

Game 1: He mulligans, and land passes. I open with Island + Mox + Mana Vault. He casts Spell Pierce to which I answer with Ancestral Recall. I see Force of Will but I don’t care about the Mana Vault anymore, since I got my 2nd land and had Tinker + FoW back up for turn 2. He shows me Swords to Plowshares and we move onto game 2.

In: 4 Master of Etherium, 2 Sperzoa, 2 Spell Snare, 1 Hurkyl’s Recall

Out: 2 Tezzeret the Seeker, 1 Time Vault, 1 Voltaic Key, 2 Misdirection, 1 Gifts Ungiven, 1 Fact or Fiction, 1 Thirst for Knowledge

Game 2: He opens with Ancestral Recall to which I draw myself thanks to Misdirection. I resolve a Master of Etherium but I can’t find myself more than 1 artifact. The 2/2 ends up dead blocked by a Kataki, war’s edge. I remember I actually had ALL my lands in game and I just needed to draw something usefull to finish the game. He recovered just in time and I couldn’t make it.

Game 3: A fast 5/5 Master of Etherium followed by a 5/4 flying Sperzoa finished the game for me. They actually worked as intended!

2-1 | 3 Points

Round 2: Eduard Castro with Steel City Vault

Game 1: I play land go. He opens with Goblin Welder and I play Brainstorm in response. I see force of Will and a Mana Drain. I decide to Force of Will the Goblin. I play my 2nd land and pass. He casts something and I drain it. I cast my Willfull Fiction out of the extra mana from Mana Drain and win him few turns after.

In: 1 Tormod’s Crypt, 1 Pithing Needle, 1 Extirpate

Out: 2 Sower of Temptation, 1 Snow-Covered Island

Game 2: He plays land and passes. I go with something like: Land, Mox and Pithing Needle (naming Goblin Welder). He doesn’t find any relevant bombs while I do thanks to a couple of Thoughtcast.

2-0 | 6 Points

Round 3: Roger Lladó with TPS

Game 1: He mulligans to 5. Opens with Ancestral Recall and I actually Misdirection it. Let’s move to game 2.

In: Tormod’s Crypt, 1 Extirpate, 2 Spell Snare

Out: 2 Sower of Temptation, 1 Snow-Covered Island, 1 Hurkyl’s Recall

Game 2: I start UBER strong and develop my game a lot thanks to Time Walk and a couple of Thoughcasts. He Extirpate my Force of Will and from that point I lose gas. He manages to gather 8 storm for a lethal Tendrils with me being unable to find answers (Mana Drain) with Sensei’s Divining Top in play and 2 fetchlands…

Game 3: I don’t remember it at all. All I know is that he was gonna launch his attack when he Extirpates my Force of Wills, poor him, I had 2 or 3 Mana Drain in hand + Misdirection. So that delayed his plans while me, being 100% at topdeck, summoned the power of Mr. Yawgmoth’s via Vampiric Tutor for the win!

2-1 | 9 Points

So I actually had some fun, won and I brought home 10 boosters from Zendikar. My girlfriend opened them (as usual) with some luck actually: 2 fetchlands!

Regarding the deck, I think it’s pretty solid but I’m not sure about it. I mean, how would it perform against Oath, MUD or other heavy played decks at LCV. Against Control and Fish it worked really well, but it certainly lacks answers against Ionaa or MUD.

Next week I’ll play the 1st tournament of LCV. I’ll be broadcasting some games live from there. Stay tunned to my USTREAM channel!

Finalmente se han subido los vídeos de la final del I Open Vintage Team Pataners entre Abraham Ureña, aka Kadabra, y Víctor Giménez, aka El Rata.

No sé pq, pero los vídeos fueron grabados con el efecto “Night View” xDDD ¡Sí, todos! Talvez algun gracioso creía que vería las bragas a Ureña através de la mesa… o talvez por error se activó la opción sin nosotros darnos cuenta. De todos modos se ven bastante bien
