Notes
 
Won a Taiga with this for taking 9th place at my first ever Legacy event at Jupiter Games in Binghamton, NY.  Here's what I had to say at the time:

"I went:
Win 2-1 against Painter mirror (I think it was Ugr, w/ Red Blasts main + SB Man Plan) (Nick)
Win 2-1 Against Burn (Amber)
Lose 0-2 to UGr Thresh (Nick Wowelko)
Win 2-1 against Belcher (Shawn)
Lose 0-2 to UGr Thresh (Cory,‘Lando’)
Win 2-1 against Ichorid Combo (Damon Whitby)

This was not an optimal, fully tested list, and some of the card (and perhaps even color) choices were made by necessity, not by design.  First of all, it needed more dual lands to replace islands.  Secondly, 4 Trinket Mage is definitely too many (often bad for blind counterbalance activations and often cluttered up my hand.)  I would, at the very least, go –1 Trinket Mage, +1 Ponder.  Also, my sideboard was a mess.

I made some serious play mistakes (this was my first event in a while) – my #1 lesson on the day, and may it serve as a warning to all: against anything playing red blasts (in my case it was the Painter mirror), don’t name blue with your own Painter!  Seems obvious, but in the heat of the moment this mistake cost me a game.

It felt like a control deck the majority of the time – it rarely made sense to just go all-out for the combo.  But it CAN go all-out, when it needs to, and this flexibility seems like very powerful asset.

@ Mage vs. Fabricate: I got the opportunity to go almost lethal attacking with Trinket Mage a couple times, so the 2/2 body did seem to matter.
