A few key players include:įlagstones of Trokair, which is just a free land so often and has become maybe my favorite Magic card over the course of the league. With that said, I want to talk a bit about the deck and card choices.

The one I linked was a fantastic resource for me, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the deck. I don’t feel like I’m qualified to write a good primer on Depths yet. I also wouldn’t have minded having a red splash for Prismatic Ending, but it didn’t actually come up in the league, so I can’t complain (I made both of these changes for my UOL Team Series list). My main complaint is that I wish I had Gaddock Teeg in the sideboard. I don’t think this list is perfect, but I’m overall pretty happy with it. I found a great, in-depth guide to Depths and felt that I was mostly good enough with the deck to do well in the UOL League. The deck felt like it could answer most threats out of fair decks and grind well but also get fast kills when it wanted to with the traditionally combo-light UOL meta, I was very confident in my deck choice. I wound up landing on GW Depths, after putting up an ~73% winrate with it in my test matches (admittedly with a smaller sample size than I’d like). I was looking at a few different decks, including GW Depths, Mono-Red Painter, 8-Cast, and Delver. I also feel like Reanimator is a deck I can sometimes get a little burned out on, given that most games play out relatively similarly, so I don’t love playing it all the time. I wasn’t super excited about Reanimator’s place in the metagame, and I wanted to do well on another deck.

As I said in the interview I gave at the time, I was very excited to have won with a deck I love so much, but I wanted to switch it up a bit. Coming into this league, I was fresh off a win in our Crimson Vow cycle with RB Reanimator. Legacy has been one of my favorite formats since basically forever, and I’ve been loving it even more than usual recently. Today, I wanted to talk about my experience in the league I did the best in: Legacy. The Untap Open League’s Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty league cycle is finishing up, with only the Pauper Top 4 left to be played.
