At one listeners request, we take another look at sideboarding, this time looking at it not in terms of deck construction, but in terms of actual play. We use our own current decks to illustrate what we bring in and out for certain matches, and our reasoning why, as well as the best transition music ever…..

Hi All – I’ve been very lax and not posted another monster legal opinion from our legal friend, Corentin. Here it is, in all its unedited glory!
My opinion was about the English common law, and I did not know at that time whether it was different from the US common law when it came to that area of torts, contracts and equity.
I had opened my opinion with the following:
As an introductory point I would like to stress that this statement is not a contract on its own since no one could have given consideration to make it binding, and that the doctrine of estoppel only apply for a variation of contract and will not be applicable in this case.
Well I was informed that in many jurisdictions of the United States, promissory estoppel is indeed an alternative to consideration as a basis for enforcing a promise. It is also sometimes called detrimental reliance.
A promise which the promisor should reasonably expect to induce action or forbearance of a definite and substantial character on the part of the promisee and which does induce such action or forbearance is binding if injustice can be avoided only by enforcement of the promise.
Article 18
1. A consumer may bring proceedings against the other party to a contract either in the courts of the Member State in which that party is domiciled or, regardless of the domicile of the other party, in the courts for the place where the consumer is domiciled.
First,
Article 2
Universal application
Any law specified by this Regulation shall be applied whether or
not it is the law of a Member State.
Article 4
Applicable law in the absence of choice
1. To the extent that the law applicable to the contract has not
been chosen in accordance with Article 3 and without prejudice
to Articles 5 to 8, the law governing the contract shall be
determined as follows:
Article 6
Consumer contracts
1. Without prejudice to Articles 5 and 7, a contract concluded
by a natural person for a purpose which can be regarded as being
outside his trade or profession (the consumer) with another
person acting in the exercise of his trade or profession (the
professional) shall be governed by the law of the country where
the consumer has his habitual residence, provided that the
professional:(a) pursues his commercial or professional activities in the
country where the consumer has his habitual residence, or
(b) by any means, directs such activities to that country or to
several countries including that country,and the contract falls within the scope of such activities
Again, we look at REGULATION (EU) No 1215/2012 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 12 December 2012. You are still a consumer for the purpose of the text, so you can sue Wizard in England.
We turn to REGULATION (EC) No 864/2007 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 11 July 2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II)
Article 4
General rule
1. Unless otherwise provided for in this Regulation, the law
applicable to a non-contractual obligation arising out of a
tort/delict shall be the law of the country in which the damage
occurs irrespective of the country in which the event giving rise
to the damage occurred and irrespective of the country or coun-
tries in which the indirect consequences of that event occur.
Today we have a chat with Southern Legacy Allstar Tom Kellock, who was the token Englishman at this years BoM Madrid top8! We have some lands chat, as well as discussing some plays, how he perceives the Eldrazi entrance to the format, and how mishras factory attacks people in “real life”. Enjoy!

More Show Notes to follow…
Hello! StuP here.
A few listeners have been in contact regarding the Esper Mentor list I mentioned on Episode 75 (or was it 76?). Credit goes to Patrick Chapin, Tom Martell and Matt Sperling who derived the original list.
Their list originally played a Misty Rainforest over the second Marsh Flats and
I got the list below that Rich Shay played on an MTGO daily. Chapin himself mentioned the fetchland swap on his Top Level Podcast.
The other swap I made is cutting the Misdirection in the board for another Cabal Therapy. I love the synergy of Therapy, Probe and Mentor, and I couldn’t really visualise the matches where I’d board in the Misdirection (maybe I should go back and listen to Chapin’s reasoning for it’s inclusion).
The deck is a lot of fun to play! Much more fun in fact than I’ve found with other good stuff decks like Deathblade. The sheer quantity of card draw is completely bonkers, and against everything apart from Lands or chalice decks, I think you’ve got a good chance of being competitive in game 1. Even against storm, I was able to disrupt them enough to get a mentor on the table and apply pressure. Admittedly this is a very small sample size though (1 match!).
Here is the list as I played it:
Lands (20)
4 Polluted Delta
4 Flooded Strand
2 Marsh Flats
1 Underground Sea
2 Tundra
1 Scrubland
1 Tropical Island
1 Plains
1 Swamp
2 Island
1 Karakas
Creatures (11)
4 Deathrite Shaman
4 Monastery Mentor
2 Snapcaster Mage
1 Tasigur, The Golden Fang
Instants (14)
4 Brainstorm
4 Swords To Plowshares
4 Force of Will
2 Spell Pierce
Sorceries (12)
4 Ponder
3 Gitaxian Probe
2 Cabal Therapy
1 Council’s Judgement
2 Painful Truths
Planeswalkers (3)
3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Sideboard (15)
3 Abrupt Decay
2 Cabal Therapy
1 Supreme Verdict
1 Notion Thief
1 Surgical Extraction
1 Containment Priest
1 Painful Truths
1 Vendilion Clique
1 Zealous Persecution
1 Flusterstorm
1 Engineered Explosives
1 Council’s Judgement
I hated the main deck Tasigur as I found it was weak to karakas and didn’t really give me any value. There were often times where my opponent would just let me have a useless spell pierce, or another card of very little consequence in the situation. We’ve been saying it on the podcast for a while that we don’t like Tasigur for Legacy, and I think this has finally cemented it for me. I would recommend swapping him out for a Gurmag Angler. Admittedly, I haven’t tested this, but I think it seems reasonable. I’ll see if the extra mana to delve is significant.
Main deck, the only other change I might consider is trimming one of the Painful Truths. I loved the card, and it was pretty good at drawing lots of gas, but I feel that three copies in the 75 may be one too many.
In the sideboard, the Notion Thief is probably a bit too cute. I’d probably recommend another Containment priest or Flusterstorm. You should be out-drawing most decks in the format, and passing the turn with four mana up, trying to “get” your opponent is probably quite optimistic. If you do manage it, let us know on the podcast 😉
Thanks for reading and let me know if you’d like to see more content like this!

So thanks everyone for your patience as we had to sort out a couple of very special episodes that we have lined up for you. We recently took part in the MTGuk eternal weekend, and on the Saturday we took the time to do some gonzo reporting. Because it was the vintage day (we both wanted to play the legacy day) the discussions lent themselves towards a more general magic chat, but there we some interesting topics that crept up along the way. So be prepared as we talk to some old friends and new about vintage, legacy, growing an eternal community, altering cards, vending them, and an all time record of numbers of monsters of the week! Thanks to everyone who participated in part 1 – Tu Nguyen, Gaz Hirst, Paul McGleish, Mark Aylett and James Griffin.

In todays episode we pay homage to our glorious new overlords government and also look at a recent tournament we played in at Fanboy3. Card choices and matchup analysis abound! Also, we review some of our previous choices of cards to watch from new sets, and see where we were right and where we were wrong, and what types of cards we could look out for in the future.

Well hello there! Me and Stu get together again and discuss storm. We look at popularly represented archetypes (not to mention some, er…. less well represented ones) and see the history of them, as well as their philosophy, construction, how to play them, what they are susceptible to, and some general hints and tips on how to pilot. WUB WUB.

After finally being reunited, our intrepid pair of Stus have a look at the meta from the first Japanese legacy Grand Prix. We have a run down of the decks represented on day 2 (SPOILER – it was quite, quite blue…) and look at the specifics of the Top8 deck lists. And we don’t butcher any Japanese names at all. Nosiree!

*SpecialBonusFun Episode!*
Despite posts saying that we were on a break… Stu P. takes some time out of his globe-trotting millionaire playboy lifestyle, and joins us from Thailand to discuss our recent tournaments and also to talk about the recent Invitational
results.
*We didn’t mention it on the show, but the Top8 we talk about is just the legacy decks played by the Top8 competitors. The Invitational format is both standard and legacy, so you needed the best combined record to make Top8, which was then played out using their standard decks.

Hello! We don’t have an episode this week- or for the next couple of weeks sadly…
StuP is off on his holidays so the show is taking a little break…
We’ll be back soon! Have fun watching #PTDTK!
After Stu T. bravely fights off the gremlins* in his audio system, we are back! And this week, we go all UK-centric on you all and talk to the Pro-Touring, Blue Envelope podcasting, Tundra slinging wizard that is Rob Wagner. We chat about a more competitive approach to legacy, and what its like coming to it from other formats. We also discuss what its like changing metas, and have a special monster of the week 20 questions special!
*Due to gremlin** assault, Rob sounds really quiet for the first small section and then underwater for most of the rest of it. Apologies!
**No gremlins were harmed during the making of this podcast. Sadly.

We trawl through Dragons of Tarkir in order to find some new legacy playable cards. And then (SPOILER ALERT), because there aren’t any, you get a bonus mandatory fun tourney report from both our experiences at the Fanboy3 legacy tournament. We discuss how we are thinking about developing our decks, Sneak&Show and Infect.

This week, we take a look at the steps you should take in order to have an enjoyable and productive tournament experience. From testing and deck choice through meta considerations to tournament logistics. How to try and avoid tilt, when to call a judge, how to watch for slow play and cheating. We also consider some psychology and enjoy some rambling stories. Everything you need from your regular Legacy Breakfast fix!

We have a quick tournament report from the weekend, and see how Stu T. is honing his infect deck. Then we turn our minds to vintage for an episode. We have a look at the differences between legacy and vintage, the vintage meta, and how to think about adapting (unpowered) legacy decks to compete in vintage tournaments. Also – check the new volume before listening. Its been cranked up a notch!

In common law, misstatements and misrepresentation represent an important part of contracts and torts.
Before we examine the condition of misstatements and misrepresentations, let’s just focus on the potential parties in this problem.
Wizards has produced a statement whereby they undertake not to reprint cards from the reserved list. It was a public statement likely to come to the attention of: past consumers already owners of the listed cards, present consumers investing into eternal formats, resellers dealing with second hand market.
As an introductory point I would like to stress that this statement is not a contract on its own since no one could have given consideration to make it binding, and that the doctrine of estoppel only apply for a variation of contract and will not be applicable in this case.
TORT:
An action in tort has to be considered from the point of view of all the “parties” without contractual relationship with Wizards, i.e. past consumers that previously purchased cards now on the reserved list, and maybe pure second hand dealer shop or in regards that part of their business.
An action for negligent misstatement in tort arises where Party A has (1)carelessly made a (2) statement to Party B, where the (3) relationship between the parties is such that Party A owes Party B a duty of care.
To put it another way, responsibility for negligent misstatements is imposed only if they were made in circumstances that made it reasonable to rely on them.
I will not consider pure deceit, as it would imply malice from Wizards, which seems unreasonable and very hard to prove.
2 and 1 : We do have a statement, and one could argue that because Wizards have been adamant they would not go back on their promise, doing so now would imply the first statement has been made carelessly, given its financial consequences.
Problem is, statement must be a statement of fact to potentially be considered a misrepresentation. The essence of this tort is to protect persons reasonably acting upon an expert’s advise, not to bind companies or to create contract where there is no consideration, or never to be able to depart from their shared intention. So I highly doubt this could be actionable. A statement of intention will be important when we will considerer the misrepresentation and the contract.
3 : As for the special relationship two of the most important things to consider when determining whether a special relationship exists are:
Has Wizards “voluntarily assumed responsibility” for the recipient acting on this statement?
Is it fair, just and reasonable for the person to whom a statement has been made to rely on that statement?
It could be argue that such a relationship does exist indeed considering the fact that this statement was precisely made to protect long time players;
So it is not absolutely crazy to consider suing Wizards in tort, although case law does not recognize misstatement of intention for the moment. I did not discuss the extent of the damages to consider, as I will discuss it in the next part.
CONTRACT
A misrepresentation is a (2) false statement of fact or law which (3) induces the representee to enter a (1) contract. Where a statement made during the course of negotiations is classed as a representation rather than a term an action for misrepresentation may be availablewhere the statement turns out to be untrue. There are three types of misrepresentation: innocent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation and fraudulent misrepresentation. We will not consider the latest for the same reason we did not focus on deceit.
The affect of a finding of misrepresentation is the contract isvoidable ie the contract exists but may be set aside by the representee. The remedy available depends on the type of misrepresentation, but generally consists of rescission and or damages.
1 : So first, we need contracts. We can consider, limitations aside, all the contracts made between consumers and retailers (the definition is any contract, not a contract made with the representor) for magic cards on that basis i.e. assuming some cards never to be reprinted and taking the eternal format into account on that basis, but most importantly contracts made between players themselves, on the basis that a cards on the restricted list would never be printed again and setting the price accordingly, or finally contracts between second hand dealers and players.
2 : Then we need false statement of fact or law. Case law tells us that a statement of opinion may amount to an actionable misrep where the representor was in a position to know the facts. But, and more precisely, a statement as to future intent can not amount to a misrep unless the representor had no intention of carrying out the stated intent.
That’s a tough one, as Wizards did stick to their statement for many years. If we look at the case from which this rule was discovered, we can tell that the false intention must have been known from the very start i.e. they never wanted to stop printing the reserved cards.
Should Wizards decide to change their policy, o one could argue that they did by malice, or recklessly.
As for (3) and damages, I think we can accept the fact that the price of those staples is in part caused by this policy, and that the potential loss for big second hand dealers like Starcity would be within the scope of the foreseeable loss a representee can claim for.
CONCLUSION:
As I understand common law (in UK at least) and the current case law, there would be no real problem for Wizards should they change their policy; although I can understand that cases of companies suing for financial losses would not be absolutely meritless.
With the cost of legacy staples being what they are, we take a look into good times to buy for your legacy collection, factors that might influence card price and the trends that cards undergo in terms of their price and availability. We also see what would happen if Stu T. were to MC the show….
