Pseudo Newb and . . . . Legacy?

Ok, I'm not 100% sure that this is a good idea, because I'm still not 100% sure what it is that I get out of participating in GPs. ( reminder to self- finish the comparison of GP Balt and GP Philly experiences and get them here on the journal - you know you're just avoiding the self-reflection)  I am thinking of going to the GP in Washington DC in November 2013.  The hitch is that it's legacy.

The next closest GP is Atlantic City, It's in January and it's standard. One of the things that concerns me is that I haven't played enough standard to feel like I have any understanding of it. I have a Pack Rats Reanimator Deck, and I just put together a Dark America Deck but they may both be above my skill set. However I could concievably play my 12.00 Pack Rats deck with no sideboard and see how it goes?

Not sure. If I'm serious about participating in a legacy event I would seriously need some coaching. The advice I've gotten is to find an archetype I like and work with it in several different builds.

To that end a friend who plays on the money circuit for Legacy gave me this site:

Apparently Legacy does react to the new releases at the competitive level. I might be able to play one of the Legacy delver builds but I also think I may have to borrow the deck for an actual tournament.

There's something called Angel Stompy that sounds interesting.
