Owen Turtenwald beat Dave Carhart in a quick and lopsided match in the finals.  Owen basically just cut Dave off of mana and dropped lands as fast as he could draw them.  A stunned Dave Carhart could barely muster up a token resistance, as Owen swept him in a brutal 2-0 finals.  Congratulations to ICBM's own Owen Turtenwald for winning ICBM Legacy Open #1!

Well, so far we have 20 people registered.  I think we'll have 25 or so total.  Not a bad turnout for the first one.  A bunch of people haven't shown up, which is unfortunate, but I think once we have a few more of these I can drag more people out.

Yes, Eventide will be legal for the ICBM Legacy Open this Sunday.  It will be 25-proxy, so if you don't have the Eventide cards yet, just proxy them.  I have heard from some world-class Legacy players that they intend to be there.  Here's who you may have the privilege of losing to:

Owen Turtenwald—GP Columbus 2nd place with Goblins
I@n DeGraff—GP Columbus day 2 with top 64 Slivers
James King—Legacy Worlds 2007 top 8 with Threshold

See ya'll there!

In case you missed it, I'm hosting the first ever ICBM Legacy Open next Sunday July 27th.  Details can be found here.

Now, I know that I certainly don't have much of a clue about Legacy.  So what I did is looked into it a little.  You can check out the Legacy Banned list here.

Then I went over to The Source and checked out some top Legacy decks.  I checked the Tournament Reports section as well to see what people are winning with.

I'm very excited for the 27th.  I have heard from a LOT of people ...<< MORE >>
