Legacy Weapon - A Legacy review of Mirrodin Besieged

As with any set review; make your own conclusions of the set.  I'm looking for cards to make it into my Legacy playables binder.  If you're looking for just a summary of cards I think are worth picking up for Legacy, skip to the Leeches!

Kmaster's Guide to Trolling

Nicky closed his eyes. The specter of war loomed much too oppressively in his mind. The guttural battle cries that had heralded such violence so recently still resonated in his armor. The enormity of the carnage he had witnessed - nay - committed, forced his eyes open. The young planeswalker scoured the sky for the faintest glimmer of green mana, anticipation wrapped in dread. His senses confirmed his hopes: the Green Sun would not rise for many hours. He would have time to rest and gather his mana, and he would need it. For Nicky knew, as soon as the Green Sun reached its zenith, the lifeless hulk at his feet would be reinvigorated. And it would be back with a vengeance. As Nicky closed his eyes once more, he could hear, as if it were a whisper on the battlefield of tomorrow, a single menacing curse.

PTQ with Kmaster

Hi everyone!
Today I'm going to bring you my report for the first PTQ for the extended season that I've attended offline. I'll share my decklist, some of my games, and analyze the Top 8 results. Enjoy!

Drafting with Dread_ #2 - UZ/UZ/UL

So, after getting pretty bored with SOM drafts, I decided to do a Urza's Saga/Urza's Saga/Urza's Legacy draft for fun.

For those of you unfamiliar with the format, this is the infamous "Pestilence at common" set, where black is by far the best color - at least in Urza's Saga; thanks to cards like Expunge, Befoul, and Corrupt all at common. Black is so good, in fact, that at least half the table will often be drafting black. So far, judging from my (minimal) experience, I would say the basic color rankings are Black Red/Green Blue/White. In terms of archetypes, the format is pretty straightforward, with mostly aggressive decks, and a few slower controllish decks. The theme here is enchantments, and there are a lot of them, so enchantment removal is often maindeckable.

Feature Article - King of the Scrubs - What I learned from 'winning' a Legacy Event

Hi, my name is Amir Gamzu, and I’m a Magic player.

I’ve been meaning to pen something for the Rusty Machete for quite some time, so I’m taking a page from Basem’s book and using a tournament win as a catalyst. In the future, you will likely see articles about my favorite formats; Cube, Type IV and EDH or about collecting as that’s really what I’m best at, but for now this is what I call a tournament report.

Extending the Format

Hello Everyone! I'm back after a fairly long absence from Rusty Machete (and, to a lesser extent, Magic in general) with a look at what's going on in extended- with the first modo ptq done and several real-life ptq's soon to come, we've no time to waste.
