Episode 11: How to beat the best deck
<p>In this episode, Francis and Jasper discuss a listener question: when a format has a clear deck to beat, how do you prepare for it? They talk through how much weight to give the top deck when choosing a deck, building a sideboard, and testing for an event, as well as some of the traps players can fall into when metagaming. They also consider the flipside: what to do if your deck is the deck to beat.</p><p>After that, they catch up on some local Legacy events, including a very amusing Thursday where Francis built a mystery deck for Jasper to play completely blind.</p><p>Finally, Francis rounds things out with a tournament report from the Spotlight Series Legacy Cup in London, where he Doomsday and managed to navigate his way to a Top 8 finish.</p><p><a href="https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5301550#paper">HawkBlade (Initiative Crusher)</a></p><p><a href="https://moxfield.com/decks/L356WSSQM0uH1SVzTLOBOg">Sloth Depths</a> </p><p><a href="https://moxfield.com/decks/GCXFwioHD02OmZvamBJ0sw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Doomsday</a></p>

Episode 10: How to choose a deck for a tournament
<p>In this episode, Francis and Jasper start by discussing a listener question about how to choose a deck for a tournament. Exploring ideas around gameplay mentality and how to approach a tournament in general, they weigh up choosing the best deck vs choosing a deck you love. </p><p>That leads nicely into discussion of a recent online Legacy tournament: the Ecobaronen ELMQ, and an unorthodox deck choice made by their friend Jamie: Nic Fit. They discuss the innovative list, featuring cards like Esper Origins and Alpha Deathclaw, and why it was well-positioned into the metagame.</p><p>At time of recording, Francis was also looking forward to welcoming noted Dredge specialist Mahfuz van Gogh to the London weekly by playing a mono green Painter brew, while Jasper looked ahead to a paper ELMQ at the weekend. Finally, they wrap up with a brief discussion of some rounds they played against each other in Old School and Legacy locals and cast a glance forward to an xpoints event.</p>

Episode 9: A Big Cephalid Breakfast + Secrets of Strixhaven + Old School Counter-Burn
<p>In this episode, Francis and Jasper start with some discussion of Francis’ latest innovation of a “Big Breakfast” list which eschews white cards for Stock Up and Ancient Tomb. Having lost to a Cephalid list featuring Stock Up in a league, his curiosity led him to exploring lists on mtgtop8 before he settled on the list he took to an unbeaten finish at his local weekly.</p><p>Talk then turns to the new set, Secrets of Strixhaven, with cards like Flow State, Erode and Petrified Hamlet being evaluated for their Legacy playability. While both express concerns about the potential of Flow State, given Expressive Iteration’s spot on the ban list, they’re broadly optimistic that it will be an interesting set for the format.</p><p>Lastly, they return to the topic of Old School. Francis reflects on his experiences at COPCon XXV, while Jasper has been buying a bunch of sweet old cards for his first forays into the format. Blue-red CounterBurn has caught his eye, and the pair consider the viability of playing an unpowered deck in a format which allows a full set of moxen, Black Lotus and Ancestral Recall. </p><p><a href="https://moxfield.com/decks/ElnJC1UwNUygB75gqmnP-Q" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Big Cephalid Breakfast</a></p><p><a href="https://scryfall.com/sets/sos?as=grid&order=set" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><br /></a></p><p><a href="https://moxfield.com/decks/niIeJqUuPEqbIF9wjVqHIA" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Old School blue-red CounterBurn</a></p>
