Legacy tourney on SCG

[rollerking540]

I no that this group is meant mainly for T2 and Ext, however with the Legacy tourney comin up on SCG i think we may want to talk a bit about the format and what the top 3-4 choices would be to use in the tourney. I know that a few of us have already signed up for the tourney (and hopefully more of us will) and i think that collaborating could really benefit us all. so, with that being said what decks do you guys think we should use, and what decks do you think we can expect (so we can get our sideboards set up accordingly).

personally i anticipate a lot of Hightide variants, as well as a few tendrils combo decks. there will also probably be threshold. I think that everyone is gonna wind up preparing for gobbos but not many are actually going to play it. so, in a combo/graveyard based meta, what do you thinki we should use? or do you disagree with my meta evaluations? feel free to object to what i am saying, i just ask that you explain your reasoning. personally im lookin at spring tide right now with graveyard and storm hate in the board, what do you think?

Plan for IGGy Pop. I think that deck will surprise everyone and rise to the top.
