I hope you all passed the new year’s eve hangover and are ready again for some hardcore playing. 2009 was an awesome year for the youngest of the eternal formats, Legacy. 2009 proved WotC that Legacy is huge and they’ve, wisely, realized about that and already taken some actions.

2010 couldn’t start better for the Legacy european fans:

That’s great news for a country like Spain. As you may already know, Spain holds the biggest eternal leagues in the world: LCL ( Catalan Legacy League), LML (Madrid Legacy League), LLBL (Black Lotus Legacy League), etc…

Spain, somehow, creates trendies in Legacy, therefor the expected metagame for GP Madrid shouldn’t be that different from what we can find in our leagues. I’d totally recommend you taking a close look at deckcheck.net and search for the events listed before. Other events you should take in considerations are the past tournaments like Bazaar of Moxen, Eurovino3 or the recently played German Magic 1.

Personally, I’ve already decided what list I’ll be playing at GP Madrid. No secrets, I’ll be playing combo. What version? ANT. People tend to say that in a GP, where it’s gonna be loaded with CounterTop and AggroJunk decks, playing combo is kinda a suicide. Not really when you got a hidden Ace in your sideboard (and no, it’s not Thrashing Wumpus LOL).

By the way, changing a bit the topic, but still Legacy related, I’ve recently contacted Mr. Iggy Pop, and sent him my playset of japanese Ill-Gotten Gains for him to sign. MAN, THAT’S PIMP! Scanns as soon as the cards come back, if they ever do!.

Talking about pimp, I’m soon done with my 2nd legacy deck to be 100% foil japanese. When I say 100% I really mean it. Legacy’s Affinity allowed me to complete a deck with 75 out 75 cards in foil japanese. Right now I’m only missing 2 Cranial Platting (got those located already), 2 Ancient Den and 1 Vault of Whispers. If it happens that you own some and are willing to trade/sell, please contact me at jordi.amat@gmail.com.

Back to topic, the following weekends, starting Saturday 9th,  at the Black Lotus shop there’s gonna be a series of tournaments that will provide byes for GP Madrid. If I were you, I wouldn’t miss the chance of playing those. Unluckily for me, I’m working on Saturdays and won’t be able to attend those.

You might have noticed that I placed a video player on the top of the right sidebar and in there it says there’s a broadcast planned for this Saturday. Guys, that won’t be possible. Even tho, I promise to be LIVE broadcasting all the events I’ll attend in 2010. Stay tunned to my USTREAM channel if you wanna watch some games.

One last thing you should never forget:

Real men play combo!

(Ladies play countertop+goyfs and kids play pikachus+bolts)
