    Eternal Weekend Legacy Top 8

    2 UR Delver
    2 URW Delver
    1 BUG Delver
    1 RUG Delver
    1 UB Tezzeret
    1 Punishing Maverick

    Well color me impressed.

    Anyone have any thoughts on meta direction, or is this just what people sort of "thought would happen"? Props to Maverick and Tezz.

    Here is the link to the top 8 profiles: http://magic.wizards.com/en/events/c...cytop8profiles

    Friendly Mod Reminder: Keep discussion of whether certain cards should or should not be banned in the Banned and Restricted List Discussion thread.

    Re: Eternal Weekend Legacy Top 8

    MTGO is completely overrun with (UR) Delver decks, too. ~30% of the placing decks are Delver decks right now, with UR being the most popular variant, with the numbers only increasing.

    And we also got got a taste where the meta is heading on stream, where most of the rounds where either Delver vs something or Delver mirrors.

    I don't think the meta direction the format is currently taking is a healthy one. We might see TC being banned at least in Modern and Legacy.

    I'm also suprised that D&T wasn't placing, since it's pretty good in that kind of meta, despite TC being overpowered.

    I hope the UB Tezzerator deck creams these Delver decks into the ground.

    But it isn't actually a problem because nonblue decks placed and there are many ways to play Cruise Delver. Many different Cruise Delver decks is the important thing, right?

    All those 3 Delvers in Ovino's Top 36. Resistance is futile.

    Just a hypothetical question: If Treasure Cruise were banned, do you think the delver-decks would just jam 4 Dig Through Time and still be almost as powerful and ubiquitous?

    I'd find it hilarious if TC were banned and not BS when Survival was banned and not Vengevine. WotC reasoning at its finest really.

    The meta is evolving rapidly. UR is already on par with Miracles on MTGO, and likely to overtake it really soon. People are quickly catching up how stupid good TC is.

    Both are problematic in my opinion. And the situation is hardly comparable.

    I guess this is my 'told you so' moment.

    Not surprised by Domri Rade's effectiveness. Domri Rade was always a good planeswalker, but the entire source community was against it. The card draws and destroys creatures for 3 mana; that's good. Just because you have to build your deck around it doesn't mean it sucks. Interesting note is that the other non-delver deck in the top 8 also builds around a narrow planeswalker, namely Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas.

    The suprising thing is that he only runs only 21 creatures and no Sylvan Library to set it up.

    I wonder how good a single Courser of Kruphix would be here. Seems good with Domri and stupid good with all the fetches/KotR shuffle effects.

    Courser of Kruphix sounds good with Domri Rade indeed. in addition to the obvious synergy with Domri Rade, the life gain looks very relevant with decks like Delver becoming more and more burn-centric.

    UR Delver is a difficult matchup for D&T. And all that hate against the various Delver decks (Forked Bolt, Golgari Charm and whatnot) also hits D&T very hard.

    Then why is Bahra with D&T stomping the shit out of them? That doesn't compute. He's currently doing very well in the dailies.

    E.g. in yesterday's DE, he went 4-0, facing UR Delver 3x in the first three rounds (and went 6-1 overall against them) and Sneak & Show in the last one.

    Forked Bolt is a new hate card, but D&T players already build their deck with TNN hate in mind.

    I think Electrickery is better than forked bolt because it kills swarms of Young Pyromancer tokens as well as TNN, unflipped delvers and elves.dec. It can't kill a 2 toughness creature though.

    Electrickery is a good card, but you can't kill TNN with damage since it has protection.
