Jack, are you running the exact same list as the SCG / GP?
Get it Painter! Congrats Greg! It was my pleasure to watch you take it down!

Nice job to Greg Smith, who won this week's SCG completely undefeated with Painter. As in, 2-0'd every match.
Would be nice if SCG could get it together and not break the links on their decklists. I was only able to catch the top4, was it a pretty standard Mono Red? It sounded like he won a mirror by ultimate'ing Chandra.
Play 4 Card Blind!

why cards are so expensive...hoarders
A meta full of Esper-Blade probably helps.
I'm trying to update my data, can we assume that he ran SDT or do we have to actually see results for that?
For my confessions, they burned me with fire/
And found I was for endurance made
Yet again we get results with the deck.... Now we just need to win the BoM and a legacy GP :D
While I didn't see Greg play last night.. How's his style of play?
And to expand the question: How is your preferred, personal playstyle? :)
The top 4 and finals match illustrate my spellskite point perfectly. The card is just awesome at protecting stuff when you naturally draw it, whereas recruiting for it to then protect your magus makes it a turn 4 play. It also helps that the deathblade player sucked and grabbed batterskull which he knew he wouldn't be able to cast for another three turns. Anyways, that's my takeaway. Spellskite definitely did work there coming down turns 1 and 2.
I'll change my stance slightly as well. While I won't be running any spellskites in my 75 and I think it's hit or miss main like burn spells, it could be a great two-of in the side in a correct build for the fair matchups.

One mistake I think Greg Smith made was using a REB on Lee Prost's Sword of Fire and Ice while Painter was in play, because no matter what, since Sword becomes a blue permanent, Lee Prost can target any creature of his with the Equip, but SoFI will immediately fall off the creature because the creature has protection from blue.
Want to beat True-Name Nemesis? Here's what you do when your opponent resolves it, and they name you.
That's a great point. I hadn't thought of that.

Hi Kap'n, I took a look a the video, it was great, the commentators are a whole new kind of professional! I've been playing your list and to me it is really glass cannony, I do realise this is me, you don't seem to mulligan all that often. What are you looking for in an opening grip? A red source and..? It also looks like you "smoke 'em if you got 'em" when you play. That is you will drop grindstone into play etc. without the rest of the combo available. What is your play order? For me, and this is from the primer, it's blood moon as quickly as possible but then I am not so sure and tend to hold back. You appear to try and use all your mana each turn unless you have a blast. Some tips would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and congratulations!
What do you mean when you say it feels like more of a glass cannon? Compared to mono red?
I'll write something longer tonight, I just wanted to clarify first. And of course thanks.
