3-1, 2-2 Legacy Wednesdays~

I took my 4c control deck (the same deck played in Kyoto ) to a 3-1 finish and a 2-2 finish.

I won round 1 versus RWU deck that had Delver of Secrets, Lightning Bolt, Swords to Plowshares, True Name Nemesis, Stoneforge Mystic. It was not too difficult if I kept True-Name nemesis off and used Punishing Fire to clean up.

I lost round 2 versus an Esper deck with True-Name Nemesis, Stoneforge Mystic, sideboaded zealous persecution (with the intentions to guard against Toxic Deluge). My general matchup against this deck should be in my favor since I am generally very prepared against such a deck but I just could not pull out my much needed answers.

I won round 3 versus a pauper storm deck. (It might not be pauper in the true sense of it but the style is like the pauper version.) I knew he was on a combo deck so I kept a single Wasteland hand with double Force of Will. I did not draw my lands for awhile and managed to stabilize for abit before I lost to an Empty the Warrens plus Goblin Bushwacker (which I already saw but did not take note of). It was a very big mistake as I had Engineered Explosives in hand.
I managed to come back in the other 2 games with my mass removal.

I won round 4 2-0 versus mono blue Omniscience. Game 1 went long (hardcast Omniscience countered by Spell Pierce) and I eventually managed to control the game with counters and a Maelstorm Pulse on an Omniscience.
Game 2 my opponent wanted to go turn 2 Show and Tell after a turn 1 Defense Grid but did not get an Island out. I soon cast Intuition for Duress, Thoughtseize, Cabal Therapy, made him discard Show and tell and Dream Halls and Surgical Extractioned both without any disruption (because of Defense Grid).

On a different week, I changed my Relic of Progenitus to Kiora, the new planeswalker, and also got a Spellskite to replace a Pernicious Deed as there was a mono red player and I did not want to lose that matchup too easily.

Round 1, I faced Sneak and Show where I lost game 1, won games 2 and 3 on the back of discards and counters.
Thankfully my opponent did not get to pull a fast Show and Tell and I managed to control the games long enough for inevitability.

Round 2, I faced Mono white which I managed to dispatch 2-0 via Toxic Deluge and Punishing Fires.
I had too many removals ready.

Round 3, I lost 0-2 to the GW that I keep mentioning. I lost to some mild mana problems in game 1, sealed when Aether Vial put down the 3/1 enchantment creature when I cast Brainstorm and lost game 2 to an Umezawa's Jitte with 2 counters versus my 3 Toxic Deluge hand where I had to over pay to stay in the game and eventually got crippled.

Round 4, I lost 0-2 to an Esper True-Name Nemesis deck. My cards did not come game 1 and game 2 I misboarded in Spellskite along with my other cards and it sat there as a dead and useless card. My mana was attacked and I could not do much.

I have not been actively about Magic lately and the new set does not excite me much.
I have my eyes set on Kiora along with the 3/1 enchantment creature that stops players from drawing cards out of the natural draw..
