ggs! unfortunate beats games 1 and 2, probably could've kept the first 7 in g2 but felt my preboard hands at 6 could be much better but ended up drawing pretty badly. Some comments on my play in game 3: Probably could've just gotten a sea to daze the cage with turn 1, but I think sewers was ok since I had a relatively slow hand (unless I drew exactly reanimate), but I decided I was going to try and replay the sewer to surveil twice. The issue was I ended up drawing the reanimate but I didn't adjust the line with that new information so I reflexively play the sewer. I'm tanking on the surveil because I'm pretty upset with myself for not griefing first - If I do, I see the wasteland, I can just mill the bowmaster play delta and pass, then fetch in the end step and entomb animate. Later in the game when I redraw entomb animate, I get the archon but decide I don't want to be dead to bolt (even though bolt was sided out D: definitely should've expected that), feeling like my position was dominant considering Boston couldn't cantrip or would die very quickly. Obviously didn't work out - If I attack with everything into the frog then that would be lethal, if I entomb my second bowmaster that would've been lethal... at this point I was pretty on tilt from basically all of my brainstorms whiffing the entire match, but that's definitely on me. Boston played very well and congrats again!
Delver gets tough the longer the matchup goes since it has usually better top decks.. it can really kill tempo when you draw entomb, animate dead etc without the other half.
This is the structure of the Legacy of the North league in Southern Ontario. In 3-month stints player's compete to qualify for our Invitational tournament. The winner of the Invitational will then play a Bo5 against the overrall points leader of that season to be crowned Royalty of the North for the next season. This way we can give a chance to both grinders, who attend weekly local events and those who can't play as many events, but attend larger more competitive events (1k+). The King/Queen of the North wins a trophy, a ring with the season they won, their name gets added to a winners plaquette and at participating stores, they pay no entry fees for legacy events.
Long time ago, finals used to be the best of 5. Done even on local levels. Being flooded or manascrewed or mulliganing to hell in a single game had less impact than being just one step from losing the match. It just rewarded players for being better prepared or/and skilled. Both players just had do their best to confirm. I can see the answer from the @Lazy MTG, but even if the reason was just for nostalgia, I would be very OK with that for eternal formats in general.

Can’t wait to see what you play now that the bans have been announced!
it's funny cause lazy is like the opposite of your production lol! Awesome video as usual!
Haha, not the first time I've received this comment. It's definitely ironic.

why are they doing best of 5? interesting

@@LazyMTGthat sounds amazing! Quite the scene you got up there. Is that structured modeled after Japans god of legacy?
