He'll have his cheerleaders like last time. Just hope the event coverage doesn't fuck up his name 3241326712603982638172 times.
Looks like Bryant went 7-2 to make it to day 2. Congrats!
Dunno how relevant, but Ari Lax went 8-1. Not sure if he's playing storm but he should be.
Tear it up Bryant. Ari Lax is playing UB ANT as per usual which isn't surprising to me at all.

I always find it interesting that although Bryant's TES and Ari's ANT lists are very different, the two players seem to consistently do well. Unfortunately, this makes it a lot more difficult for me to decide on the best one. :)
A blue deck without FoW or Counterbalance just took first in the GP in Binghamton, NY.

You storm players are slacking. Are you just waiting for everyone to get comfortable before destroying the meta game?
Sylvan Safekeeper + Teeg would be pretty obnoxious if both got into play
Bryant, you better post some kind of report for the GP
Realistically, both games were over had I known you didn't play Force, G1 the play I made beat Force but lost to a 2nd Vendillion or a Karakas and you had the 2 outer, and G2 you drew out of a mull to 5 before I did despite being a 12-4 favorite in cantrip counts. I also got greedy G1 and ran my Thoughtseize into a Daze based on having extra cantrips, which may or may not have made a difference or been wrong.
Based on my experience with previous Bant decks, you are probably around a 30-70 dog in the match up.
Dude, it doesn't matter, I 2-0'd storm easily, I have a great Storm match up.

It seems to me, most people either over-estimate or under-estimate their Storm match ups. That is usually directed to their first match up against Storm with the deck too.
That being said, I definitely think this Bant list is insanely good, and if it gets popular, TES and ANT will come back in a big way.
Good TES and ANT lists with a decent pilot should have no issues taking a crap on these FoW-less decks. MMS + Daze is not enough to hold off the Storm.
Once storm comes back, Countertop decks will start to re-emerge from the depths. Perhaps people are tired of Countertop and wanted to play other control decks (hence the lack of countertop decks).
