Nice! Do you just have a ton of cards or pool cards with friends for decks? How many complete legacy decks do you have?

I have a fair amount of legacy staples, that's all I play at the moment (aside from (10-proxy) Vintage, but I've only played that once so far).

First legacy tournament with my legacy fishes. Went 2-1 for fourth overall. Damn tie breakers. 2-1 vs mono red. He was on the play and I couldnt muster a good enough board state game 1. Game 2 saved my counters for his blasts and an Umezewa's Jitte on a True-Name Nemesis was too much for him to handle. Game three saw my AEther Vial t1 and was able drop a few lord's and TNN for the win
0-2 vs MUD This is a terrible match up for me. I thought I had the game on lock but Wurmcoil Engine is a lot to deal with. Game two was much the same he has awesome draws and my board state was terrible.
2-0 vs Painters Stone Well timed Force of Will kept him from getting his combo online both games plowed over him with a couple TNN buffed from my lords.
Legacy $1K was overshadowed by a bigger event nearby, but the prizes were guaranteed. 26 players, ran Punishing Jund.
Round 1: Won 2-1 against Team America Game 1 didn't go well (Tombstalker is actually better against me than TNN), but this (like all the 3 color delver decks) seems like a positive matchup, and I got there games 2 and 3. Choke was a house.
Round 2: Lost 2-0 to ANT Not much to say, didn't get enough hand-disruption to slow him down too much.
Round 3: Won 2-0 against Deathblade Funny game 1, raced his True-Name Nemesis just barely. Game 2 got his TNN with Golgari Charm, then stuck a Choke after he tapped out for Batterskull. Punishing Fire'd away the B'skull, and sealed it up a few turns later.
Top 8: Won 2-1 against MUD Game 1 he mulled, and I got there without him doing a whole lot. Game 2 he got a Wurmcoil Engine, Trinisphere, and Chalice of the Void on 2. Lilli split the Wurmcoil, and my Bloodbraid chumped the deathtouch token. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough mana to stay alive once I could blow up the chalice thanks to 3Sphere. Game 3 he mulled to 6, and I kept him off of bombs long enough to get there, with Ancient Grudge blowing up 2/3 of his Wurmcoil this time.
We agreed to split the prize at top 4, but play for points. Top 4: Won 2-1 against ANT Lost game 1, and he killed himself via Ad Nauseam games 2 and 3 going for the win.
Finals: Lost 2-0 to Punishing Jund Really felt the pain of no Lightning Bolt here to deal with his turn 1 Deathrite Shaman.
Finished 2nd, prize split was great thanks to the guaranteed prize support.

Another $1k, 45 players this time (no conflicting events), 6 Rounds. I played Miracles for the 2nd time.
Round 1: Lost to Death and Taxes 2-0 I didn't think that this was a bad matchup, but I did a whole heap of nothing both games, Phyrexian Revoker on my top was really difficult game 1, and even though I was able to entreat in each game, it wasn't enough to overcome his board at the time. Not seeing a terminus or verdict either game was rough.
Round 2: Won against BUG Delver 2-0 Don't remember a ton, though I sent his Tombstalker farming, and entreated at some point for happy times.
Round 3: Won against Reanimator 2-1 I got killed by an early Grizzy game 1. Game 2 had RIP resolve, Show and Tell countered, then Jace resolve to finish it up. Game 3 went pretty much the same way as game 2, counter everything, play Jace.
Round 4: Won against Shardless BUG 2-1 Game 1 I got overwhelmed with dudes, and punted by not floating a look before fetching to get blown out by abrupt decay. Game 2 I countered one Ancestral Visions, but another one resolved, and I was in big trouble on board, at 2 life and 5 lands. Play Jace->brainstorm draws me land, Brainstorm, Terminus. Put the 1 card in my hand before brainstorm back with terminus on top. He tries to hymn me before attacking, so I brainstorm to wipe his board, going to 1 off my fetch to cast terminus. Win with Jace : D. Don't remember game 3, but from my notes it looks like I entreat at some point and win.
Round 5: Won 2-1 against Miracles One of the other people from my LGS who is way better with the deck than me. He won game 1, I won game 2. Game 3 he fought over my snapcaster trying to blast his Jace, but in the process shuffled away the entreat he had on top, which he could have forced through with his counter magic.
Round 6: Draw 1-1-1 with Deathblade We wouldn't know if we could draw into top 8 until some of the other matches were done, so we played it out. I got him game 1, with the lock, lost game 2, and there wasn't enough time for either if us to win game 3, so we drew, which turned out to be good, since the other matches went the way we needed to both be locked for top 8.
Top 8: Lost 2-0 to 12-Post: The worst matchup ever conceived, especially since I don't run any Blood Moon or Humility. I die a painful death.
Ended up in 7th, got a Badlands with the store credit. I was very pleased with the deck, I never really felt out of it except against 12-post. It turns out that 8 people were on Miracles, so it's good I didn't get into the draw bracket, as I am terrible in the mirror.
Been getting humpday legacy firing off in Los Angeles, this was the 3rd or 4th week and we got 7 players!
I ended up getting round one bye, went 2-0 for the two matches I played and got first! $30 credit and a serum visions! Who cares if it's not for legacy, $10 card!
1st matchup - miracles GP Lille mentor list.
1st matchup, baited his counters and got jace down t4/5, opponent made this face when I played jace 😳, brought out liliana and destroyed his hand, he had no answers with top and counterbalance on the field.
Second game, he got pretty mana screwed and I ended up getting 3 Shardless agents out in two turns, free drs, free recall and free Goyf just sealed the deal
2nd match - vs bug top control
First matchup, got threw really fast, ashiok almost decked me but I needed up keeping pressure on the player and killed him with drs drain
Second matchup, fow'd his ashiok and that set the pace for the game as I dropped 2 Goyfs which were at a very easy 5 power.
All games at the tournament almost went to time. Really stoked to have legacy ona. Regular day. Will probably start donating a few cards to encourage attendance for new people.
