I went 4-2 in the MOCS qualifiers, losing the last round to a URW delver deck that went double Wasteland, double True-Name Nemesis and double Lightning Bolt (after I Toxic Deluged for 1 going down to 6). At least I got a Show and Tell for my trouble.
As for the big real life Legacy tournament, I went 0-3 drop, possibly the worst results I have had thus far.
Round 1 vs the Gravecrawler deck.
I lost game 1 when I eventually ran out of cards against Cabal Therapy and tokens.
Game 2, we got into a long game and I stabilized with Jace in play and the Punishing Fire combo.
In game 3, his turn 1 Faithless Looting threw in 2x Bloodghast. I played a turn 1 Deathrite Shaman and he dropped Pithing Needle naming it and cast a Gravecrawler. To make things worse, he dropped 2x Blood Artist and made it impossible for me to come back.
Round 2 vs Painter
Game 1, I get hit by a Blood Moon with an Island and Swamp in play but not much I can actually do. An Ensnaring Bridge on the other side stops me from attacking with Snapcaster Mage and he assembles the Painter combo eventually.
Game 2, I misplay and opt to Force of Will instead of putting down an Engineered Explosives for 2. The painter combo comes down with Pyroblast backup and I lose.
Round 3 vs Shardless BUG
Game 1, I run out of business cards after Jace gets Force of Willed.
Game 2, we get into a long attrition game and I manage to cast Intuition for the Marit Lage kill to close it.
Game 3, I misplay Snapcaster by playing it a little too early to get Brainstorm instead of getting Intuition later on despite having thought of that route, Eventually, the game drags out and Shardless Agent into Ancestral Vision, Shardless Agent into Tarmogoyf puts enough pressure on the game with nothing significant on my side other than a True Name Nemesis, ending with a Disfigure on my Creeping Tar Pit ready to block a goyf.

So now, this chapter of Legacy has closed for me. I am looking to work towards 2015's GP Kyoto (Legacy). I will probably test some other strategies over the next few months.
