Tuesday, December 14th – Keith has Top 8ed several Grand Prix in years past and makes a comeback in this year’s SCG Invitational with a deck he never expected to wield, B/R Vampires. Read his report and complete sideboarding guide.
Originally I was planning on skipping Grand Prix: Philly and instead spending time working on the Extended format for Grand Prix: Charlotte in December. This all changed when I realized I’d be qualified for Pro Tour: Honolulu on rating. “No Constructed Magic until February?” I thought to myself. Just then I came to the realization that Grand Prix: Philadelphia was technically not a Constructed tournament, but it affected Eternal ratings. Immediately I started making phone calls, checking class syllibi and by the end of the week, my flight was booked. Now then… What the hell is good in Legacy?
Keith returns from a sojourn around the nation to cover topics ranging from Chrome Mox vs. Kodama’s Reach in Tooth and Nail and why White Weenie is terrible, before delivering an updated anti-Aggro build of Mono-Blue Control to play at your local FNM.
Tired of hearing about Tooth and Nail yet? I’m sure everyone is, but the list I’m sharing with you today is somewhat different from the traditional, bland, boring, uninspired build and it earned me a slot at U.S. Nationals.
StarCityGames.com would like to officially welcome Constructed powerhouse Keith McLaughlin to our family of writers. Keith’s topic du jour is Medium Red, a deck that hasn’t received a lot of press yet, but one that will be a powerful player in the Standard metagame for months to come.
