Thanks to everyone that came out! Hope to see you at the next TSO!

Can we take a moment to appreciate how baller the shrapnel blast list is? It's amazing.

I was playing 2 card muddy and lost to legion of doom in the final swiss round... what a match.

g1 I made a huge ballista and got too cocky. my life got a bit low from mana crypt flips and he domed me for 11 from doom engine+shrapnel blast that he found from the bazaar+squee engine he had going. if I had been playing better there might have been a better line, or if I had been lucky and won 1 more flip I would have had it.

g2 I had a turn 1 win with leyline, helm, and 5 mana.

g3 he had t1 daretti off lotus, t2 weld back in lotus, do a bunch of nonsense and then play null rod. pretty hard to beat that!

@Naixin I absolutely second this. What a great looking deck! Is this just a one off or legit strategy for significant further consideration?

I think another team serious member invented Legion of Doom and has tested and played it in various forms for a while. It can do some nutty things but it's pretty inconsistent. Gearhulk helps it a bit but it's an expensive card.

If you want my take it's not a great deck, but it is a fun deck and it has some blowout draws for sure. It is resilient against null rod but welder loses to other things (ballista, revoker).

It doesnt feel like Ohio if someone isnt playing Legion of Doom
