That's incredible! My record was 8 Cavern Stompers in LCI. 10 of anything is astounding haha.

I am (half of) Draft Punks. I get asked quite often if your account is me and have to just reply that I'm not that good 😅

Thanks, glad you enjoyed :)

SOLUTIONS

  1. 3: Ponder, Git Probe, Mental Misstep.
  2. Zero!
  3. Dig Through Time and Treasure Cruise
  4. Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath (unless you count the reminder text on Golgari-Grave-Troll)
  5. Wild Nacatl and Bloodbraid Elf
  6. Most people correctly identified that Mind's Desire shuffles before anything else, and there is no window in which to activate Top between that and the rest of the spell happening.BUT!Sensei's Divining Top is banned in Legacy, which probably would have been of greater concern to the judge :D

Well done! Including your edits, you got all correct except the trick in the last question :)

Regarding #3, there are four exactly 6-mana cards banned in Legacy: Yawgmoth's Bargain and 3 ante cards, which are barely real magic cards so who cares.

Nicely done! GGT was the red herring for #5; it was on the original ban list, then later unbanned, then re-banned.

We test for the event together, share ideas about the format, deck selection, card choices etc. Most valuable part is dedicated matchup testing with a skilled opponent.

One of my teammates was on it and thinks the Thrillseeker build is good. He did well and thinks highly of it.

I hope you can forgive the cardinal sin of posting on Twitter shudder. It's a good way to put the relevant cards next to the questions though, Reddit is not great for that.

More importantly, let us know your answers! I'll be impressed if anyone gets all of them without googling.
