Thread: Predict the top 8 of Grand Prix Las Vegas and win

    Predict the top 8 of Grand Prix Las Vegas and win

    a haiku that I'll write about you.

    That's right. If you come the closest to predicting the top 8 of GP Vegas, I will write a haiku about you with my own blood, sweat, and tears. There is no fine print.

    My prediction: Elves, Grixis Delver, Death & Taxes, R/G Lands, ANT, BUG Delver, Grixis Control, Miracles

    Burn
    Deathblade
    Eldrazi
    Elves
    Infect
    Miracles
    Prowess
    Storm

    (in alphabetical order).

    I wasn't going to partake, but I can't pass on a chance to be immortalised.

    8x Lands. No bias whatsoever.

    Storm
    Eldrazi Stompy
    Bant Aggro

    Re: Predict the top 8 of Grand Prix Las Vegas and win

    1 Grixis Delver (therapy)
    1 Death and Taxes
    1 Miracles
    1 BR Reanimator
    1 Sneak and Show
    1 Grixis Control
    1 Red Stompy
    1 ANT

    Bonus Points: exactly 1 Food Chain in top 32. Another Miracles will miss top 8 on breakers, as will a Dark Bant player and a Lands player. The D&T player will be either Wescoe or Enevoldsen. BUG delver will be one of the worst performing day 2 decks, but a high number will make it to day 2. Some RUG Thresh player will top 32, but they will spell their name incorrectly. A nic fit player will get 33rd.

    I'd love to have a battle of wits with you but I see you lack the necessary equipment.

    I predict 1 gobbos. There's enough Grixis and Miracles that I think it will do ok.

    3x Grixis Delver
    1x Reanimator (Probably U/B)
    1x Infect
    2x Sneak and Show
    1x R/G Lands
