Mtg and the current me

Today is a holiday at where I am but I have to work for half a day.
While at home, I logged in to MTGO to get a few more copies of foil Young Pyromancer.
Surprisingly, I was asked to join a Legacy DE (0_o) and also a Classic DE (and the QT).
I haven't been active on MTGO lately and I doubt people remember much of any player which is why I was rather surprised to see people asking my to join events.

Classic has been good for me 2 years back. I used to play at 1.30am-> 4am on Sunday before getting up at 9am to go to church. (Which is why I can't play the Sunday slot) The end of the year classic tournaments was insanely fun as DEs fired at very convenient timings (9.30pm?).
Now, DEs hardly fire so I don't even try.
I also stopped playing in the QTs when I kept defaulting matches because two people just cannot get a match done in a week. It would have been great to play for the big prizes and stuff but I just hate losing games over such dumb reasons.

That said, I still find it enjoyable to design decks and play the old formats (Legacy and Classic),
enough for me to want to go irl to play Legacy with what miserable cards I have.
The only dual land I own is the Tropical Island I bought for myself on my birthday a couple of years back.
I looked at some bad condition Volcanic Island on Starcitygames and Channelfireball which were less than $100 each so I think I might be able to get 2 copies soon.

I guess minimally, I would need 2 tropical island, 2 volcanic island, 3 underground sea for me to make and play decks that I would be comfortable with. Currently, I also need 2 more Scalding Tarns (why did I not buy them when they were in standard?!?!?) for my deck. Basic lands are important in Legacy for control decks so that you do not get blown out by Wasteland or just defeated by recurring ones.

My friend asked me about the modern gifts deck played at worlds (?) and I looked at it.
The first thing I saw was 4 Tarmogoyfs which I can say without a doubt that it can be configured better to 2 goyf 2 Scavenging Ooze. Firstly, you do not auto-lose to Rest in Peace. Secondly, you can disrupt the mirror (in billions of ways), attack pod decks much more. The only downside is that you would need to be very careful of how you play your lands so that you have more green mana available. I do not suppose that the format is one where you need to clean up asap with Tarmogoyf.
I would play Snapcaster Mage too. I was surprised to see that the core of it resembled the old one as much as it did. Perhaps I can make a modern gifts deck irl too. (Will need more cards but looks doable)
Unfortunately, it is a deck that needs quite some tweaking and play experience to get it right and I have some doubts with that list as it is. I will perhaps try to have a modern deck available so that I can have one to play in the future in some events.

Of course, that would be after I get my Legacy deck running. ;)
