    Unfortunately there is not much to talk about as it was pretty uninteresting and unentertaining. Many players had some fringe decks, perhaps because of budgetary constraints. And that's fine, it was interesting to watch the Clerics, for instance.

    However, the commentators did very poorly - didn't know cards, didn't know decks, didn't pay attention to what was happening. There was a lot of sloppy play and, perhaps, outright cheating.

    For example, in the Legacy finals the Reanimator player had Chancellor of the Annex in play. The Pyro player had three lands, one of them is Wasteland. The Pyro player cast Young Pyromancer for two mana without paying one more for Chancellor, and then in the following upkeep activates Wasteland to blow one of the Reanimator player's lands. Both players missed Chancellor, but so did the judges and commentators.

    Another example, close to the end of the day, the Oath player cast Preordain and drew two cards! Then cast another Preordain, but this time as it should be - scried 2 and drew a card. The commentators got him on drawing two cards from Ponder, but because they didn't really play attention to the game, they decided that they missed something.

    Anyway, Eternal Weekend in Columbus is coming next weekend and it should be a real treat and delight to watch. Card Titan did an excellent job the last two years, so I expect this one to be even better.

    Hi folks, is there any site where I can view the video coverage of the event?

    I tried to google it to no success.
    Thank you all.

    Bit late on this, but Chancellor is a trigger. If the player doesn't announce it then the Delver player doesn't need to pay, there's a chance he played the YP assuming he'd be paying one extra, but instead was able to Wasteland.

    I just checked the BoM twitch page, I thought they'd be there but apparently not. Maybe email them?

    The VODs were note saved as highlights and therefore were deleted :( unless someone else kept VODs somewhere, they're gone forever :(
