I said forever ago that I was going to be writing a primer for River. I am working on it, I promise. It's just incredibly in-depth and I have been extremely busy lately. It's been a bigger project than I anticipated, but it is being worked on, I swear!

#MTG #MTGLegacy

River league at almost 2 in the morning because I can't sleep. 4-1 finish.

I've been testing Noise Marine and Emergent Ultimatum. Ultimatum is absolute gas. I'm not 100% sold on Marine.

#MTG #MTGLegacy

Another 4-1 league with Naya Initiative. Only loss was to a big Legacy podcaster, and I gave them their 6th trophy of the season, so I ain't event mad about it. 😏

Been thinking about taking out Minsc & Boo, but I don't know what I want to replace it with. A 3rd Once Upon a Time?

Just realized I was wrong about Yorion. It plays 4 Tinder Farm and I totally forgot that taps for white as well as red. lol

While everyone was gaga over Belcher winning the Pro Tour, no one was paying attention to this SUPER SICK River list that won a Challenge. It has Yorion in the board that can't even be cast!!! This list is absolutely wild!! I can't wait to give it a spin.

#MTG #MTGLegacy

Tonight's River league: 2-3.

I'm working on that primer and sideboard guide! It'll be coming soon!

#MTG #MTGLegacy

Another River 4-1! The Monored Prison deck was actually the old-style deck that played Karn, Chandra (4 and 6 drop), Trinisphere, etc. maindeck. Used to seeing the hyper aggressive Stompy version these days, so it was cool to see again.

#MTG #MTGLegacy

Late night River league: 4-1.

#MTG #MTGLegacy

Today's River league: 3-2.

#MTG #MTGLegacy

Second River 5-0 this season! Season ends in a few days, so I'm super happy to get another trophy before it did. 🏆🎉🏆

This UG Birthing Ritual deck that I've been seeing around is super sweet. Thinking of trying it out myself.

Opp at me playing River and comboing off. He's not wrong.

The team at @magiconline.bsky.social very nicely has let me have some 120 Play Point codes to giveaway and I FORGOT until right now. Share and follow me for a chance to win! 🏆 💋

Today's River league results: 3-2. Continue to put up a positive results with the deck online. Over 600 matches with an overall 57% win rate. Pretty good for this jank, I must say.

#MTG #MTGLegacy

The river must flow
It cascades forevermore
Oh, looks like you've lost

First River trophy this season! 🏆🎉🏆

I have been giving heavy consideration to cutting the Mindbreak Traps. They're just not relevant anymore and they find their way to interrupt my combo. Thinking about Foundation Breakers to replace them.

Another River 4-1. "Cat's Cradle" is the version of Cradle Control that plays Scythecat Cub, if anyone was wondering. I've always found the name "Cradle Control" to not be a very good name for the archetype overall.

#MTG #MTGLegacy

4-1'd today's league. Oops had it Turn 1 in Game 1, and then went Dark-Rit, Informer, crack Informer, hard cast Thoracle off two Petal in Game 3 when I had a Leyline out. Don't see that very often. Neat though.

#MTG #MTGLegacy

Today's River league: 3-2. I have been playing against a very strange amount of Pox decks recently. Is Hatchery really that good of a card for it to revive an archetype? Neat to see, but annoying for my to see more Wasteland decks. lol

#MTG #MTGLegacy

UH 'scuse me??? Greatest pack pull I've ever seen in the 20+ years I've been playing this game!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Played another River league. 2-3'd this one. In Round 5, I mulled to 2 in Game 1 and won, and in Game 3, opp had no permanents at game's end because they sac'd all their lands to try to draw answers, then Call wiped their dudes. Fun stuff.

I've played 3 River leagues over the last 24 hours and totally forgot to post my records. I went 3-2 in each of the leagues though, so it feels good to come back to playing River after about a month of Initiative to still have a positive win rate.

#MTG #LegacyMTG

I haven't fired up MTGO in a short while because I've been playing a lot of Diablo 4, but I decided to play a River league today and 3-2'd.

#MTG #MTGLegacy

I don't know if people realize just how huge this may be.

If it rained in California and the heat we constantly deal with wouldn't immediately melt my ice cream, I would.

Late night trophy with Naya Initiative! 🏆

The graveyard deck was like... tempo-ish? Cantrips, Force, Bloodghast, Sneaky Snacker, and Tamiyo. No Daze or Wasteland that I saw. Scooped a game to a Tamiyo Ult. Weird, but always cool to see people trying things.

4-1 in my league tonight with Naya Initiative. Been testing this version again over the last few days after going 3-0-1 with it at my weekly Tuesday Night Legacy event. HO BOI did I miss casting Chalice of the Void.

#MTG #MTGLegacy

3-3 in today's Legacy Challenge. 27th place. Every match I lost was to Wasteland. Triple Wastelanded in 3 games. So brutal.

R1: UB Reanimator [1-2]
R2: Eldrazi Aggro [2-1]
R3: UB Reanimator [0-2]
R4: Monoblack Aggro [1-2]
R5: TES [2-0]
R6: Stiflenought [2-1]

#MTG #LegacyMTG

Eldrazi opponent took me from 20 to 0... on Turn 2. Fleshraker is insane.

#MTG #MTGLegacy

Late night River league before attempting to wake up in a few hours for the Sunday morning Challenge.
