After WotC decided to reprint Rishadan Port in Masters 25, I decided the time was ripe to build a Legacy deck. My eye was on Death & Taxes, which happens to also be my first modern deck:

This deck is mostly based on malimujo's 7-0 finish in a MTGO Legacy Challenge.

First Tournament: 4-0 in Team Trio — June 16, 2018

Edit

I guess I got a bad case of beginner's luck! There were 4 teams, so we played against every team once, then the 2nd and 3rd played a semi-final game to decide which team would face the 1st team.

2-1 against Turbo-depths. First game, he Inquisitioned two Flickerwisp, and manages to copy his Dark Depths with Thespian's Stage. Luckily, I had drawn my third Flickerwisp with a vial on 3. I first target Marti Lage with Swords to Plowshares, and when he uses Crop Rotation to fetch his protection land, I vial-in Flickerwisp in response. He was at 4 and I had 3 attackers. Game 2 he won on turn 3, while my shields were down to play a Mirran Crusader. It was a risk I had to take to get a clock. Game 3 took a much longer time. I started with 5 lands and Battlerskull! Inquisition whiffed. :) I had Wasteland and Karakas in play most of the game, and he fell to a beatdown by a Mother of Runes with Umezawa's Jitte. He created a Marit Lage, but I made sure I was over 20 life with Jitte and Mother protected a Flickerwisp to bypass the token.
2-0 against burn. Game 1, turn 3 Batterskull. Game 2 was very, very close. He got me down to 1, killing the first Stoneforge Mystic, but a couple of Swords to Plowshares saved me. He was down to 1 Mountain and I topdecked Sanctum Prelate. I had to chose between Prelate or Batterskull that turn, and I put Prelate on 1, which saved me (he drew Goblin Guide and Lightning Bolt).
2-0 against Grixis Delver. Game 1 was over fast, end of turn 4 his shields were down, so I vialed-in a Mirran Crusader and equipped it with Sword of Fire and Ice, making it all but impossible to deal with. Game 2, he played Delver, Jitte, flipped delver, quipped jitte and swung. Luckily, I had a Swords to Plowshares. It was his only threat all game.

Finished first, and the team we beat ion the first match won the semi-finals.

2-1 against Turbo-Depths. Game 1, I mulled to 5 and lost badly. Game 2, I keep a reasonable 6, though I don't remember the details exactly. We made several bad plays, but I won with Brightling hitting for 4-5 a turn. He had to spend 2 spells to remove it. While we were shuffling, my team won, so we played the last for fun. I remember I was over 30 life and had a Germ with Batterskull and Sword of Fire and Ice equipped at some point.
