Split finals of the Sunday Legacy challenge w/ Esper DDay. Deck felt good overall, traded matches w/ UB Rean in the Swiss and picked up wins against a range of UWx(?), Sneak, Oops, and even nonblue MUs like Lands and Maverick. Off to a good start, will likely keep working on it.
T8'd the Friday challenge w/ wakame's 4c list. Unfortunately I queued Moon Stompy 4 of 7 rounds, including QF OTD. In my... one match against a blue deck tonight, and in Wednesday's blue matches, I was more impressed by Tamiyo than any green cards, which were comparatively mid.
Top 8 at the CSSC Legacy 1k. List continues to perform, have yet to find compelling changes but will revisit post-BnR. Rare black-border W for the mono-black theme.
Tried my hand at the RCQ w/ UB Doomsday, but only managed a t16 finish. Signed up for the Friday Challenge later and won the whole thing with Pitch Black. 14-3 over the whole day; both lists felt fine, even if teching for UB Reanimator is feeling increasingly quixotic.
Returning to normal Doomsday content with a last-second trophy before the MTGO reset. This list was pre-Saga rules change, so I'll likely tinker with it a bit more to see if I can decide on more Daze or more basics main.
Still working on a new dday list, ran back Bg Rean to split finals in the Friday challenge. Half the Swiss MUs were on MD Hearse / Dauthi and T8 was me, an Oops user, and at least 4 UB Rean. I'm usually pretty stoic about the format, but we may possibly be just a bit cooked here.
2nd time playing @roodslay 's BG Reanimator, and it was a bumpy ride to t8 of the Sunday Challenge. Having been on the BR grind in 2020, coming back to so many board states improved by Archon and Surveil lands is incredible. Died once to Spoils, occupational hazard, card is fine.
Won the Saturday night Legacy challenge with Pitch Black! The build finally clicked, tho I'd love to squeeze a 4th copy of a few MD cards, but, the deck constraints are too demanding. Dauthi was huge, and gave the deck some unexpected range. Really fun deck, great to tinker with.
Top 4'd a pretty underpopulated Friday challenge. Not the greatest record, but, first breakthrough finish with Necro. Deck is starting to look pretty real.
Split top8 at the MXP Legacy 5k with a clean UB list and the most blessed MUs you could hope for — not a single opposing FoW all day.
Been trying out some other decks while waiting on this month's ban update. Working on a new Doomsday list, but, did stay up regrettably late nabbing a trophy with this fun Necro build.
Top8'd the Friday challenge. 2nd Sewers was really good, IoK / Duress also performed. All 3 losses were Oops because I auto-lose to a 7 most g1s and Leyline does nothing to 2x discard into [insert pivot]. I may have been playing the wrong Dark Rit / Oracle combo the last 8 months

Back at it again, same list and even the same placement in the Sunday Legacy challenge. Speaking of top 4... drops, Jace and Deep Analysis continue to impress. Jury is still out on Chancellor tech...
Broke the new year cold streak with a top4 finish in the Friday Legacy challenge. Testing a neat list I saw from @Munchlax446mtgo, but with a tweaked SB; mostly good, will keep working on it.
Top8'd the Friday Legacy Challenge with "Holiday Splash" Turbo Doomsday. The "tech cards" were not, strictly speaking, "good", but don't let that stop your enjoyment of festive-colored spells. Happy Holidays!
No more Vexing (Bauble), but I'm still flexing -- top8'd the Sunday Legacy challenge; about 1 MD and 2 SB slots to tinker with still, but, list works pretty well.
Another #EternalWeekend come and gone. Still chasing a decent main event finish, but scored a set of Bayous in the high-roller and got carried through my first trios (s/o @mr_usea and @adamwolloch). Great times, and a very well-run event by @Card_Titan and the judges / staff. GGs
Top 8 in today's Legacy Showcase challenge. Tryharding a little bit through Swiss, ultimately disappointed in some micro-decisions missed, but feeling alright about all the major matchups.
Lost R1 of the Sunday Legacy Challenge, decided to play to the 2nd loss... got t4 w/ Bauble Doomsday. 1-2 slots I might change around, but, list was really clean, mapped out nicely, got kinda lucky too...
Follow-up top8 in the smaller Saturday night challenge with a simpler tempo list. Geared it more to Stompy as it was half my MUs last night, and then got half UB MUs instead. Dark Rit / Doomsday still good, Frog still good, the rest is negotiable.
