    Are the top tables just filled with various u/w/x/ stoneforge decks? Sooooooooooooooo boring to watch these decks, especially mirrors.

    Yeah the field seems miserable. Wish the painter deck would have kept winning

    If I could have found 50 lousy more bucks, I'd be there playing Tin Fins right now. It's just so far (10 hours).

    I haven't seen enough Deathblade games. I sure could use some more.

    I guess since the banning, they've got to find some way to push DRS :/

    At least Deathblade isn't in the finals. Instead it's... Imperial Painter.

    It still has a chance. I think I prefer RUG to go to the finals but idk how it's going to go.

    Edit: and wtf is the deal with the Sexual Harassment Panda product push? I hate the art for all this junk. The free turtle tokens they sent me last year with my order? I put my cigarette out on them.

    Re: SCG and lousy Legacy coverage

    My primary concern is the lack of diversity that they show. In the top 8, I can understand because they've only got 4/2/1 matchup they can cover.

    Based on their tweets, matchups from before the top 8:
    Esper Deathblade v Shardless BUG
    BUG Delver v ANT
    Shardless BUG v Esper Deathblade
    Imperial Painter v Death and Taxes
    Shardless BUG vs Esper Deathblade
    Esper Deathblade vs Esper Deathblade

    That's 5 different decks across 6 matches covered:
    5 Esper Deathblade
    3 Shardless BUG
    1 ANT
    1 Imperial Painter
    1 Death and Taxes

    There were 13 different decks in the top 16, so it's not like there weren't other decks at the top tables - they just chose not to cover them.

    I understand that they're trying to push a certain story line but it seems to me that in the long run, focusing only on one deck will lose more customers to boredom than it will gain or keep.

    I'd be curious to see these same stats applied over a year or two of opens to see what, if any, trend exists.

    Yeah, they did frame it up. So much deathblade.

    Why would they ban TNN we have clear evidence that just maindeck 8 REBs instead is a viable alternative strategy.

    In related news, this fucking metagame...

    Re: SCG and lousy Legacy coverage

    Uh, do we have another problem with potential cheating at first? They're listing the RUG Delver as winner and the presumed winning Painter list isn't being displayed.

    Damn cheaters. So tired of this specific problem in the competitive circuit. Do you have a link?

    Re: SCG and lousy Legacy coverage

    I was kidding in a continuation of the "8 maindeck REBs being a reasonable meta choice" joke.

    I am not sure why the decklist results are wonky. A DQ is possible but I am not presuming it.

    Oh. You need to do some soul-searching on your sense of humor. I couldn't even tell. Just sounded like more anti-blue rhetoric...

    The link was broken as soon as the lists went up. The finals hadn't even started yet.

    I don't think there's anything shady.

    Actually, pretty much their entire commentating staff were at PT: BNG; either as Coverage or playing.
