GP Columbus - What's Happening?

[B.C.]

I'm not at the GP, but I'm interested in what's going on. Someone post some updates (once it starts). I know you all have iPhones.

[MMogg]

Was just going to make a similar thread. I can't believe there isn't any coverage at Wizards (at least not yet). I know the tourney has already started.

[Morim_Brightsmoke]

Twitter says the player's meeting is going on or just finishing. 1297 players, split into 2.

[Firebrothers]

bamfed.

People are saying they have played and finished, don't know if it is any truth in twitter but it deserves some investigation.

Live Enough for now.

[Irenicus]

Will there be any live coverage? Anyone knows?

[workingdude]

I thought ggslive would be streaming some of the later games.

[markbris]

Will there be any live coverage? Anyone knows?

http://www.ggslive.com/show.html

hasn't started yet but supposedly in an hour or so maybe

edit:
There will be coverage on wizards it seems, just not up quite yet.
http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/101b

[lolosoon]

Yup : Coverage seems to start HERE (http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/eventcoverage/gpcol10/welcome).

Go Go Legacy !

[Mister Agent]

Well, I am glad that there will be coverage taking place. I'd love to see some of those hivemind decks.

[emidln]

Looks like a second player q'd with DDFT.

[Philipp2293]

Trial winning decklists are up.

[Deviruchi]

ggs live is up

http://www.ggslive.com/show.html

[Morim_Brightsmoke]

GGslive is streaming! New natural order/show and tell deck, running ancient tomb, emrakul progenitus.

[lolosoon]

Round 3 Pairings :

493 Hatfield, Jesse [USA] 6 vs. Wafo-tapa, Guillaume [FRA] 6

Good match guys !!

[EDIT] I also saw Bryant Cook @6pts, but dunno if he had byes nor who he is facing for round3...

[Piceli89]

DDFT just Emrakuled through double Fow, Cb+top. I really lmao'ed.

[JeroenC]

^awosome.

I don't know a lot of "real" names of Sourcers, so if anyone sees a name in the high standings that belongs to a Sourcer, let us know.

[kinda]

GGslive is streaming! New natural order/show and tell deck, running ancient tomb, emrakul progenitus.

Is there a list anywhere?

[Gheizen64]

Pretty sure Ochoa did a mistake here, couldn't he bounce the needle eot, played Emrakul, take extra turn, draw last and DD after that to not be decked?

EDIT: maybe he was scared the opponent had a force. Not sure it was right play anyway.

[tsabo_tavoc]

DDFT just Emrakuled through double Fow, Cb+top. I really lmao'ed.

Well, too many hates post board for the DDFT player , 1-2 against Thoptor.

Because of the Counterspell?

[Piceli89]

No comment on his plays.

[lolosoon]

DDFT just Emrakuled through double Fow, Cb+top. I really lmao'ed.
The match :

Round 3 : Christian Calcano (CounterThoper) vs David Ochoa (DDFT)
G1 :
Calcano start but Mull to 5 still dropping CB by Turn2
Then he E.Tutor for Top @EOT3 of David Ochoa

After that, ggslive freeze and CB disappeared (EOT WipeAway ?!)
Then, David Ochoa Big Turn sart off by turn 5 :
4 Lands in play.
IT meets Snare
He then D.Rit, Duress (Brainstorm in resp.) showing CB, FoW, Blue Card Discarding FoW
Cabal Rit (Threshed) for DD, opp spin Top for Banked FoW…

…then David Ochoa DD again. oO;

G2 :
1st turn Top for Calcano
U.Sea=>Duress ripping CB after that

During his next turn, David Ochoa Brainstormed, land a swamp and a Top (even if he had D.Rit+DD in hand)
EOT Calcano E.Tutor for CB assembling the soft-lock during his 3rd turn.
Had Ocho gone for the DD=>Emrakul plan he'd have lost to E.Tutor for Needle save a WipeAway in the pile…

A Dark Confidant from Ochoa meet a revealed Sword of the Meek and Calcano set up his combo at his turn

The turn after that a Dark Rit meet a Pithing Needle, shutting the Emrakul plan temporaly down

Then Calcano resolved a Confidant of his own and things looked really grim from there…

G3 :
Ochoa leads with Top, Calcano Fetch a Tundra then EOT E.Tutor for (ggslive freeze) CB ? But he didn't put it into play ?!
With that (weird-) opportunity, David Ochoa taps his 3 lands casting DD at his turn
Calcano E.Tutor for Needle after reading through his opponent Library and play it on ShellDock island.

David Ochoa duress away a CB then play the Shelldock Island

I've had troubles with the streaming at this moment but the turn after that, Needle is in play, Wipe Away in the Yard and the DDFT Pilot plays Top, leaving 2 cards in his library... WHAT?!?!?

The turn after he play DoomsDay, dropping to 3 and pass (reshuffling DD, WipeAway, Duress, chaff…)

And ggslive crashed again… F**K !!!!!!!

So…. What's happened here ? WipeAway + Emrakul FTW the turn after ? Or did Calcano dropped a 2nd Needle or Cannonist during his turn ?!

Any help ?!

[Edit]Ok, I see, did he attempt to WipeAway Needle and cast Emrakul the same turn under a Cannonist and fizzle ? Lame...

[Shugyosha]

He had two cards during EoT of Evil's turn in his library and needed three turns to get Emrakul into play and then kill his opponent in two swings. Shelldock Isle says "play" so he couldn't play Doomsday and Emrakul in the same turn and would have died of decking. Canonist and Needle were to much to deal with.

[Gheizen64]

Well, too many hates post board for the DDFT player , 1-2 against Thoptor.



Because of the Counterspell?


How can he float the mana after combat? He has no land then.

[kilukru]

Yeah it was a mistake, pretty sure he was scared of Humility and bounced the land to prevent the topther player from hitting 4 mana.

[tsabo_tavoc]

Yeah it was a mistake, pretty sure he was scared of Humility and bounced the land to prevent the topther player from hitting 4 mana.

It was to cut Calcano from UU who has a Counterspell in hand. Had the earlier Duress (after first Doomsday) hit Counterspell instead of Counterbalance, Ochoa would stand a chance, however, he could not have forseen a Canonist.

[lolosoon]

Forgot he can keeps mana floating since he have to cast DD after combat... DD had no way to win then?
DD (5 cards in Library)
Untap, Shelldock Isle (3 Cards in Library) EOT Wipe Away on Needle
Cast Emrakul (2 Cards in Library)
Extra turn, attack, Annihilate the board and Cannonist (1 Card in Library)
With no lands, no Humility from Colcona
Attack and Win

OR if I miscalculated the turns and cards

Extra turn, attack, Annihilate the board and Cannonist (0 Card in Library)
Duress clearing of the Way for Doomsday
Refill and win the turn after

He should have won G2 though with an Emrakul Pile including WipeAway...

[Gheizen64]

It was to cut Calcano from UU who has a Counterspell in hand. Had the earlier Duress (after first Doomsday) hit Counterspell instead of Counterbalance, Ochoa would stand a chance, however, he could not have forseen a Canonist.

I'll repeat. What could have he countered? He won't have that UU after combat with emrakul and emrakul himself cannot be countered.

[Gheizen64]

DD (5 cards in Library)
Untap, Shelldock Isle (3 Cards in Library) EOT Wipe Away on Needle
Cast Emrakul (2 Cards in Library)
Extra turn, attack, Annihilate the board and Cannonist (1 Card in Library)
With no lands, no Humility from Colcona
Attack and Win

OR if I miscalculated the turns and cards

Extra turn, attack, Annihilate the board and Cannonist (0 Card in Library)
Duress clearing of the Way for Doomsday
Refill and win the turn after

He should have won G2 though with an Emrakul Pile including WipeAway...

I brainfarted, he can't float the mana after combat since the land are destroyed during the combat phase. He had 5 permanent down.

[Shugyosha]

Again, Ochoa only had 2 cards in his library by the time he played Wipe Away. Then he drew one in his turn and couldn't play Emrakul and Doomsday to stock his library with cards due to Canonist.

[tsabo_tavoc]

He should have won G2 though with an Emrakul Pile including WipeAway...

Seconded.

[lolosoon]

Again, Ochoa only had 2 cards in his library by the time he played Wipe Away. Then he drew one in his turn and couldn't play Emrakul and Doomsday to stock his library with cards due to Canonist.

Correct me if i'm wrong but :
Why bother a dead cannonist (Annihilator 6) the turn AFTER he casts Emrakul (Time Walk) with 1 card left ?!

[EDIT:]BTW, Bryant Cook is 4-0. With TES and style I suppose...

[MMogg]

Any info on what some of the big name pros are playing? I can't access Twitter or GGS Live so I'm stuck in an information black hole.

[lolosoon]

Any info on what some of the big name pros are playing? I can't access Twitter or GGS Live so I'm stuck in an information black hole.

All I saw is Patrick Chapin packing a GBr(w) Survival deck, with Vial, and Emrakul/Retainers combo.

[MMogg]

Thanks. It's crazy how bad Wizards' coverage is.

BTW, Bryant is now 4-1. =(

[JeroenC]

Survival was sick in Chapin's last game. Awesome card as always.

Edit: did Conley Woods just mention Bryant?

[Dia_Bot]

BTW, Bryant is now 4-1. =( :(

[AngryTroll]

All I saw is Patrick Chapin packing a GBr(w) Survival deck, with Vial, and Emrakul/Retainers combo.

I really want to see this list. It sounds awesome.

[Gheizen64]

Saito playing merfolk. LOL

[Jonathan Alexander]

Saito playing merfolk. LOL

Does anyone know why he's splashing black?

[Pulp_Fiction]

Just talked to whienot, he is 4-1-1 playing Dragon Stompy.

Apparently the field is just full of Zoo, Gobbos, CB bullshit, and Lands!. It seems like there are a LOT of people playing the horrid Intiution Lands! lists and Meloku is being run in some of the builds. Seems awful but, I guess if ur playing against Zoo and Gobbos all day its alright.

[JeroenC]

Well, if that's the meta, Bryant should be well on the way to day 2.

[Pulp_Fiction]

Yeah, seems like a spectacular field for DDFT. I talked to thor an hour or so ago and he said the top tables are littered with CB bullshit. Not so hot for TES.

[MMogg]

Cook is 5-1. Woohoo. The TES dream continues.

Alix Hatfield is 6-0. What's he playing?

[JeroenC]

Was hoping CB would be weeded out a little by the Gobs and Zoo. Hope he gets sort of lucky, I dodged unnatural amounts of CB in Madrid, too. He is running TES, isn't he? Not DDFT or something?

[Gheizen64]

He play E. Plague in board and i guess perish/edict.

[Pulp_Fiction]

Was hoping CB would be weeded out a little by the Gobs and Zoo. Hope he gets sort of lucky, I dodged unnatural amounts of CB in Madrid, too. He is running TES, isn't he? Not DDFT or something?

I don't think Cook would ever cast a Doomsday :) I don't think there is any way he isn't playing TES. But one of the trial winners was a DDFT list and looked solid except he was lacking a crucial Wipe Away in the main.

[JeroenC]

Okay, I was just confused by your post. Didn't think he'd run anything other than TES.

Weird how silent the Source is during the GP.

[TrialByFire]

Bryant Cook, Gearbear, Tommy Kolowith, Rich Shay, Wafo-Tapa, GerryT, Steve Sadin, Chris Woltereck and Brian Kowal are all 5-1
Saito, Chapin, ELI, and Alix Hatifield all 6-0
LSV is 5-0-1

Most of those people probably had some number of Byes though

[MMogg]

With only 17 players at 18 points (Blue standings) the field is certainly narrowing. Unfortunately for Alix and Eli, they're in the same strand (blue) as Chapin and Saito. Cook, on the other hand, is in the other strand (green).

Chapin and Saito are both in the green strand. Though I wouldn't be at all worried about Chapin.

[lolosoon]

Does anyone know why he's splashing black?
To fake playing AdNauseam Tendrils... \o/

Dunno, E.Plague for the Goblin Matchup ?! Additionnal Grave Hate ?! Discard vs Combo ?!

Weird... but hey, seems to work.

[JeroenC]

Lol wut? Okay, his deck probably scoops to TES, but Chapin has a damn powerful deck and is one of the best players in the world. Don't get cocky. Even for Cook, I wouldn't ever call a player like Chapin something 'not to worry about'.

[Phoenix Ignition]

Just got my first loss to burn of all things. That puts him through to day 2. I'm currently 5-1-1.

[ramanujan]

So, to anyone not still in the tourney, can you record the top 8 (Top 4 of each bracket) or so tables with names and decklists so we can get a feel for what is going on.

[JeroenC]

Lol. "I can hurt you even more, I can be racist."

[TrialByFire]

Is this the same Calosso we all know?

[dschalter]

Is this the same Calosso we all know?

Yes.

[TrialByFire]

He just lost game 1 to a pretty terrible zoo draw

[MMogg]

Is there some kind of significance to Colosso, whoever he is?

[Cabal_chan]

Ross just played Goyf, then Helix and ran both into CBalance?

Edit: Didn't matter. Calosso lost.

[HAVE HEART]

Ross just played Goyf, then Helix and ran both into CBalance?

Edit: Didn't matter. Calosso lost.

Then he forgot to Krosan Grip Sensei's Divining Top to attack for lethal with Tarmogoyf, while Fuentes was tapped out without a three on top.

[TrialByFire]

He played Goyf, colosso fetched, he played helix after the fetch in resp to top activation, blind reveals a two, counters helix, colosso then counters goyf after stacking with top with the same card. Regardless he failed miserably against a stock zoo draw

[tsabo_tavoc]

The most tedious feature match so far.


Ross just played Goyf, then Helix and ran both into CBalance?

Edit: Didn't matter. Calosso lost.

Ross helixed in response to Top activation and Goyf was blind flipped.

Edit: noticed goobafish dropped after started 2-0, then 2-2 and finally possibly drew or lost the 5th round. Guess he brought UGR tempo thresh and the meta was hostile. Wish him recover and be back in Gencon!

[TrialByFire]

This just in, Bryant has 18 points so he is 6-1


EDIT: ELI is 7-0, Alix is 6-0-1

[Nidd]

Mr. Cook is 7-1.

[Mister Agent]

This just in, Bryant has 18 points so he is 6-1


EDIT: ELI is 7-0, Alix is 6-0-1

Eli Kassis? If it is then I am not surprised at all.

[TrialByFire]

Eli Kassis? If it is then I am not surprised at all.

Yes Indeed

[MMogg]

Wow, props to Saito. He's kicking ass, and considering how he did in Madrid, that's saying something. Two different Legacy GPs with two very different metas at a time when a huge shift occurred and he's still burning through the tourney.

[TheAardvark]

Wow, props to Saito. He's kicking ass, and considering how he did in Madrid, that's saying something. Two different Legacy GPs with two very different metas at a time when a huge shift occurred and he's still burning through the tourney.

That's the sort of thing that happens when you're one of the 5 best players in the world.

[lolosoon]

8 Cook, Bryant A [USA] 21 vs. Ross, Tom R [USA] 21
So, Mr TES is facing Zoo with a 7-1 record.

Day 2 seems granted for him...

[MMogg]

That's the sort of thing that happens when you're one of the 5 best players in the world.

That's the sort of thing that should happen, but someone like LSV has scrubbed out of both, even with byes. I can't help feel a bit amazed at Saito's consistency at these two Legacy GPs.

BTW, check out the Round 9 feature match (http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/eventcoverage/gpcol10/welcome#13), it's probably the most interesting one from day 1.


So, Mr TES is facing Zoo with a 7-1 record.

Day 2 seems granted for him...

Even if he loses, he's still on for day two:


If 800 or more players register for the event, all players with an X-2-0 or better record OR the top 128 players—whichever number is greater—will advance to the second day of the event.

[Artowis]

Notable Pros / Ringers / Legacy players that made it through:
Blue Side:
9-0: Phil Yam
8-1: Steve Sadin, Patrick Sullivan
7-1-1: Josh Utter-Leyton
7-2: PV, David Gearhart, Bryant Cook, Brian Kowal, David Williams, Alex Bertoncini, Andy Probasco, Tommy Kolowith, Brian Six Tom Raney, David Price, Anwar Ahmad

Green Side:
9-0: Ari Lax
8-0-1: Alix Hatfield
8-1: AJ Sacher, Patrick Chapin, Saito, Eli Kassis, Brad Nelson
7-2: Michael Jacob, Chris Woltereck, Guillaume Waffle-Tacos, GerryT, Todd Anderson, Rich Shay, Craig Wescoe, Lou Christopher

[MMogg]

Whao, Rynkiewicz is placed 6th in the blue standings. Is he piloting Ichorid?

[emidln]

Some of the names I recognize as known combo players making day 2:

wastedlife - Bryant Cook (TES)
Tommy Kolowith (Doomsday)
yawg07 - Gus Schade (generally TES or Doomsday)
jrp - James Peyton (known Tendrils, possibly on something else?)

other known, unmentioned sourcers I recognize:

MasterShake (Christopher Walton)
BrassMan (Andy Probasco)

[jakolhops]

I started 7-0 but am currently 7-2.

[Mister Agent]

Yes Indeed

Eli is such an insane magic player, imo

[Benjammn]

The small group that went to GP from the Lehigh area is doing fine. Matt, playing CBTop Thopter, started 5-0, but I think dropped most of his games afterward and probably won't make D2, and Allen, playing Excalibur, made D2 at 7-2 (I think, he has 21pts). Good job!

Also, Todd Anderson (SCG writer) is also 7-2 with Hypergenesis. I know this because I lent him cards through a mutual friend (Caffrey).

[five]

I find it interesting that any of the GPX players with technology can simply tune in to the coverage and find out what decks specific people are using. This is particularly true for anyone who made day two. Tomorrow, some random player could be like, "Oh, I see I am facing Patrick Chapin and I remember that he is playing Survival based on the feature match vids I watched last night." Okay, I know that this little bit of info won't help too much against an opponent of Chapin's caliber, but it is a substantial advantage that players in the first day of the tournament didn't have. I have never played in a large event before, so perhaps this type of information is more widely available than I realized...

[menace13]

http://ggslive.blip.tv/search?q=gp_cbus_

Replays are up of featured matches.

[Nidd]

I just watched the match Ross VS Fuentes - can somebody tell me which deck Calosso played? Looks a lot like Hanni's CB-PW-stuff to me, I think I saw a Jace 2.0 in his hand.

[Dia_Bot]

Does anyone else have problems viewing the round 9 replay?

[edgewalker]

can anyone see the replay of round 9?

So I'm not the only one having trouble?

[Piceli89]

Me too. Missing plug in or something.
OTOH, does anyone know when day 2 is going to start? Assuming it's 9 am there by your parts.

[Cabal_chan]

Me too. Missing plug in or something.
OTOH, does anyone know when day 2 is going to start? Assuming it's 9 am there by your parts.

It's started now (9:30 Eastern). Alix Hatfield(Zoo) vs. Philip Yam(Goblins). 1-0.

[Rune]

Me too. Missing plug in or something.
OTOH, does anyone know when day 2 is going to start? Assuming it's 9 am there by your parts.

Seems like it started again just now.

Guillaume Waffle-Tacos

According to Dave Price, it's Guillaume Roflcopters.

I still have a few GP sourcepads left, find me at Public events Sunday if you want one.

[Nightmare]

Bryant beat Belcher in 3 games after losing G1 on a mull to 5.

[Atwa]

Alex Hatfield is playing a featured match right now. (http://www.ggslive.com/show.html)

EDIT: And he wins 2-1

[Nightmare]

Carl Dillahay (carlitobunz) and Nick Wowelko (NickRIT2000) also won their matches.

[Jander78]

Hell yeah Alix! Take it home man!

[dschalter]

Judges don't understand layers... said Magus of the Moon uncreatures Mutavault, which isn't true (unless there's something I'm missing).

[tsabo_tavoc]

Saito 1-0 Chapin

When Chapin was at 12 with a Vial@2 and an otherwise empty board while facing attacking Lord, Mutavault and Curecatcher, I was expecting him top, rearrage and hopefully draw a 2 drop creature (Tarmogoyf or Wall of Roots) to block the Lord. He turned out to spin top after the attack and opted to search more 3cc goodies, not sure if that was an optimal play.

EDIT: WOW, he plays Fauna Shaman, so more chances to find a 2cc blocker or a Stp.

[Nightmare]

Pretty big judge error on the coverage. Didn't change the game result, but it was egregious.

[Gheizen64]

Seems like there was a technical mistake in the game Chapin vs Saito. Saito got the first game anyway.

[Pastorofmuppets]

I just watched the match Ross VS Fuentes - can somebody tell me which deck Calosso played? Looks a lot like Hanni's CB-PW-stuff to me, I think I saw a Jace 2.0 in his hand.

Dude, that list is nuts. I played it on MWS last night.

[Rune]

Judges don't understand layers... said Magus of the Moon uncreatures Mutavault, which isn't true (unless there's something I'm missing).

Next level Magic players make their own rules.

[Nightmare]

Bryant beat landstill. Still X-2

[Sureshot]

Saito X-1-1 after beating Chapin.

[dschalter]

Chapin's plays seemed odd g2. Getting a Harmonic Sliver was pointless, as Saito could have vialed in however many merfolk using Reejerey. I'm not sure if Conley's suggestion to go for Emrakul/Retainers was right, but it seems like there were definitely better plays to be made.

[Atwa]

Hatfield is in 2nd :)

Hope he keeps it up.

[Nightmare]

Carl Dillahay beats Gabe Walls to go to 10-1 with New Horizons.

[JeroenC]

I think I saw a high placing Gearhart on X-2 on the reels in ggslive.

[workingdude]

Bryant beat landstill. Still X-2

Wasnt Cook X-1 before Ross? Did he lose to zoo?

[Nightmare]

He went into day 2 at 7-2

[dschalter]

Wasnt Cook X-1 before Ross? Did he lose to zoo?

Yes.

[Piceli89]

I think I saw a high placing Gearhart on X-2 on the reels in ggslive.

With Solidarity? What a man.

[Valtrix]

I like how Chris Nighbor's deck on the MTG coverage page of undefeated decks is listed with 59 cards. Apparently wrong decklists are put up more than I would have thought.

Also, does anybody know where we can find lists of other people's decks?

[Gheizen64]

God Durwad kept an HORRIBLE hand.

[JeroenC]

That Vengevine Madness deck is AWESOME.

[Plague Sliver]

I'd like to see Sperling's list. Running Predict in a Supreme Blue style build...nice.

[dschalter]

I'd like to see Sperling's list. Running Predict in a Supreme Blue style build...nice.

EDIT: In my desire to create a nice decklist post, I was too slow. Oh well.

[JeroenC]

I'm rooting for Alix Hatfield to take the whole thing.

I'm rooting for 2-3 Sourcers in T8, them mentioning the Source and Cook taking it home.

Or Gearhart if he's actually running Solidarity.

[Piceli89]

Strong Venge-ness deck is strong.

News about our favourite Storm Combo pimp?

[ummon]

With Solidarity? What a man.

Wait what? I thought Gearhart doesn't play Solidarity anymore.

[edgewalker]

That Vengevine Madness deck is AWESOME.

Is there a decklist up yet?

[Philipp2293]

Strong Venge-ness deck is strong.



Was there any list shared for this?

[Gheizen64]

List no, but deck play

- force
- dazes
- aquameba
- mongrel
- rootwalla
- survival
- vengevine
- trygon predator

And something else.

[tsabo_tavoc]

List no, but deck play

This, and noble hierarch, stifle&wasteland, sideboard spell pierce and submerge.

[Hanni]

Looks like Anwar's doing pretty well too... anyone know what he's playing?

[whienot]

Anwar is playing Zoo.

[DrJones]

The survi-vine also plays wonder.

[Nidd]

Anyone knows what Chapin is playing? I saw Fauna Shaman, is he really playing Gwb Vengevival?

[Mister Agent]

I am rooting for Eli Kassis. So I am glad to see him jump from 25th to 14th place.

[JeroenC]

No Vengevines. Emrakul Retainers combo.

[Nightmare]

Bryant and Carl got paired R14. Bryant knocks out a good friend to go to 12-2.

[Piceli89]

Bryant and Carl got paired R14. Bryant knocks out a good friend to go to 12-2.

Bryant is pumping it up like a train these 2 days, 12-2 is pretty impressive.

[Brad Herbig]

Bryant is pumping it up like a train these 2 days, 12-2 is pretty impressive.

Yeah, I agree. I watched his first loss (against CB Thopters), and he was playing it cool and welll. I was watching from the CB Thopters side, and he just drew the nuts. I tried hard not to make a face about how boned Bryant was, but he kept looking at me funny anyway (I was in the pink polo and cookie monster hat, Bryant).

After scrubbing out with combo, I would really love to see it do well.

[addaro]

Is there any Dredge deck doing well?

[edgewalker]

I hope Conley Woods dies in a fire! He's the worst announcer ever... like John Madden bad.

[paK0]

Is there any Enchantress doing well?

Not sure bout Columbus but in the german Forums a guy posted that Enchantress is in the Top 4 of the Magic online Season Champs

[Piceli89]

+1.

[ummon]

I hope Conley Woods dies in a fire! He's the worst announcer ever... like John Madden bad.

Glad I'm not the only one.

[JeroenC]

I hope Conley Woods dies in a fire! He's the worst announcer ever... like John Madden bad.

Conley is pretty funny though, I don't really mind.

Cook still at X-2, so I think a draw or a win gets him T8.

Bryant won r15 to secure an ID for top 8.

[Bryant Cook]

Just beat ANT. I should be a lock for top 8.

[J.V.]

'Atta Boy Bryant!

[tsabo_tavoc]

list

A nice list showing the healthy nature of Tarmogoyf in the Legacy format, pretty sure he showed 3 SB Submerge on day1 though.

Go Bryant, GO!!!

Bryant won r15 to secure an ID for top 8.

Fuck yeah!

[DuxDucis]

Go Bryant!!


I wonder what WotC is thinking about Mystical Tutor now...seems like they missed the mark.

[JeroenC]

Edit: whoops, missed this page.

Awesomesauce. Take it home!

[Deviruchi]

Grapeshot them all!

[Piceli89]

wow, just wow.

[heroicraptor]

Grapeshot them all!

Except Dan, apparently.

[Brad Herbig]

Grapeshot them all!

I would love to see a pro knocked out of the Top 8 via Grapeshot.

[RaNDoMxGeSTuReS]

Except Dan, apparently.

+1 because he was a nice guy

[Hanni]

Hey Bryant, I don't think Bill Stark got the memo...

[JeroenC]

I would love to see a pro knocked out of the Top 8 via Grapeshot.

Seconded, but I'd most like to see Cook win it all. ^^

[Nidd]

Mr. Cook's gonna take it home.

[Dia_Bot]

I wonder what WotC is thinking about Mystical Tutor now...seems like they missed the mark.
How halarious would it be to have a combo mirror in the finals now^^

[Pastorofmuppets]

Anybody know what the T8 looks like right now?

[Eldariel]

A nice list showing the healthy nature of Tarmogoyf in the Legacy format, pretty sure he showed 3 SB Submerge on day1 though.

Yeah, I haven't been in town for a week; he sent me that on 25th so there's bound to be some additional tinkering since and sideboards get rebuilt on site for the apparent field anyways. But that should be fairly close.

[The_Red_Panda]

Just beat ANT. I should be a lock for top 8.

Congratulations!

[conboy31]

Just beat ANT. I should be a lock for top 8.

GGslive has refused to show you for a feature match. At the start of every round we have 5-10 people asking to watch. Instead they move on to some other match.

[JeroenC]

twitter.com/magicprotour sez:


Bryan Cook and Caleb Durward draw into top 8 at 40 points. Sorry @JeroenCu, no feature match this round.#gpcol

@conboy: ggslive does not have a say in it. They cover one of the two matches Wizards wants coverage for, which is why they said to tweet @magicprotour about it.

[dschalter]

Yeah, the ggslive crew is fine and they'd probably listen to the chat if they chose, but the Wizards coverage team get to chose which two matches are features and they just choose whichever names they know.

[ummon]

Bryant Cook, you play on behalf of all Sourcers! Give em hell I say!

[JeroenC]

WotC hates mtgthesource.

More like WotC knows most people prefer coverage of well-known players. Unfortunately, Cook is only well-known to us.

[Blitzbold]

Next time around: Mystical Tutor unbanned? :D

[yankeedave]

Have we got a top 8 announcement yet?

[frenchy-man]

Next time around: Mystical Tutor unbanned? :D

Certainly not. Just see what can happen with MT banned. Then imagine if it was allowed and half of the players playing ANT...

[ummon]

Certainly not. Just see what can happen with MT banned. Then imagine if it was allowed and half of the players playing ANT...

Exactly. I think ANT is a lame deck, cause unlike TES, it is too easy to play.

[death]

Certainly not. Just see what can happen with MT banned. Then imagine if it was allowed and half of the players playing ANT...

I don't think so. Reanimator was the deck to play when Mystical Tutor was legal. It shuts down almost any deck and packs at least 12 disruption pre-board.

[The_Red_Panda]

The people who are commenting on the live feed care about as much as the people running the live feed, which is next to nothing. Why have announcers who don't care about, or don't know about the game they're announcing?

[TheInfamousBearAssassin]

I'm inordinately amused by the coverage guys having to explain how real life tournaments work.

[MMogg]

Damn it's Cook versus that undefeated (1st day and most of the 2nd) Vengevine Madness deck. Come on Bryant... show 'em what banning Mystical Tutor has done to the spirit of combo!

[Bardo]

Just beat ANT. I should be a lock for top 8.

That's awesome. Good luck, Bryant.

[Atwa]

I'm inordinately amused by the coverage guys having to explain how real life tournaments work.

Yeah, especially against Anusien :) I loved his early articles without any knowledge of the format and now he gets told to shut up by the coverage team. Love it.

[rocketrae21]

Good luck, Bryant!

[lolosoon]

Damn it's Cook versus that undefeated Vengevine Madness deck. Come on Bryant... show 'em what banning Mystical Tutor has done to the spirit of combo!

They Drawn into Top8 dude !!

Now, Mr TES has to face one of Merfolk (Saito), UG Madness (Durward), maybe 1 Zoo (Ross or Alix Hatfield ?), maybe another Storm deck (Gosselin-DDFT) and....?

[Edit]Just saw the Gosselin DD Deck Tech : It' Emrakul combo, not DDFT. Rev614 with a twist it seems...)

[Eldariel]

Damn it's Cook versus that undefeated (1st day and most of the 2nd) Vengevine Madness deck. Come on Bryant... show 'em what banning Mystical Tutor has done to the spirit of combo!

They IDd. Both are Top 8 locks. Also, Caleb is awesome. Helped me test FS for CaNGD2 way back in the day!

[Volrath]

Go Bryant, make us proud(er):laugh:

Give them to Old one and Two!

[MMogg]

They Drawn into Top8 dude !!


They IDd. Both are Top 8 locks.

Dammit, I wanna see Vengevine blood. :wink: I seriously would have liked to see who would have won that match, although we already know.

[ummon]

Could you tell us when they announce the Top 8?

[troopatroop]

Get em Bryant!

[bruno_tiete]

Nevermind, someone in another forum mindtricked me to death.

/hides ashamed.

[TheAardvark]

TOP8:

1 Saito, Tomoharu [JPN] 40 73.3565%
2 Gosselin, Chris [USA] 39 70.8722%
3 Durward, Caleb S [USA] 39 68.1235%
4 Cook, Bryant A [USA] 39 67.9780%
5 Wescoe, Craig D [USA] 39 66.6369%
6 Levin, Drew [USA] 38 66.6012%
7 Martell, Tom [USA] 37 70.0051%
8 Ford, Jason [USA] 37 69.4761%



Those were the standings after Round 15; there were roughly a dozen players @ 36 points, so that T8 is not set and is not going to be accurate.

[TheInfamousBearAssassin]

Frowntown for NoVA. Good luck to Cook.

[Atwa]

I believe those were the standings for the 15th round. There is a rumour some guy had been gambling on himself making top 8, so the judges are looking into that.

If he gets disqualified, the Top 8 might turn out different, so that might be the delay.

[ummon]

Ahh got it.

Saito (Merfolk) vs Nelson (GWB rock)
Martell (4c counterbalance) vs Ford (UBG Landstill)
Caleb (UG Survival Madness) vs Cook (TES)
Gosselin (dunno) vs Korey Age (dunno)

The commentator on GGSLive didn't know what TES was... He was like "4 color storm?"

They're saying he got DQ'd. That seems harsh. I'm not sure where I see the problem with betting on yourself to win.

[Nihil Credo]

Hoping for a glorious Cook win on Saito, ideally 2-1 by the skin of someone's teeth.

Alix's feature match is up on coverage, also.


But no matter who wins the match, everyone who gets to look at Hatfield's hat is a winner at life.

[JeroenC]

Hoping for a glorious Cook win on Saito, ideally 2-1 by the skin of someone's teeth.

Alix's feature match is up on coverage, also.
Saito is probably getting knocked out by the Rockish thing from Brad Nelson. GGS coverage doesn't know what Cook's opponent is playing yet.

[MMogg]

Just to remind Cook:

Prizes
All prizes in U.S. Dollars.

Place Prize Pro Points
1 $3,500 10
2 $2,300 8
3-4 $1,500 6
5-8 $1,000 5

:smile: This has shaped up to be more exciting than Madrid from a viewer's perspective.

[JeroenC]

If Brad Nelson and Cook both win their quarterfinals, Semi should pit them against each other. I think Cook's deck should clean house on Brad, but let's not run ahead of ourselves.

At Madrid I had a fellow country man to root for, now I have a board member too root for. I like the diversity of the decks in this tournamen though, Madrid had way less suprises. I felt more thrilled at Madrid, but that was me standing next to Skeggi with perfect view at the Top 8 match.

[Amon Amarth]

Full speed ahead Mr. Cook.

[ummon]

Apparently there was a bet on Drew Levin winning...

I meant viewer over the interwebz... of course being there in person is much better than looking at a feature match online. :laugh:

When does this round end... they feel like they take an eternity? (rhetorical)

I'm suprised you can actually watch this in China :)

Anyway, pure for the format, this seems like the better tournament.

[ummon]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have the Top 8. Amidst a sea of American players in the heartland of America, a lone Japanese player has risen to the Top. Globetrotting Japanese pro Tomoharu Saito piloted his Merfolk deck to a near perfect record over the course of the weekend. Following in his wake are a bevy of talented players, including Tom Martell, who managed to get himself onto the train with this Top 8 performance, and Brad Nelson, who has been on what some might call "a tear" recently. In addition, Caleb Durward and his UG Madness deck that have become the Cinderella story of the tournament have made it to the elimination rounds. Three more rounds and we will be able to present you with your new Grand Prix-Columbus champion!

No mention of Bryant Cook anywhere... Grrrrrrrr.

5.4. Unsporting Conduct — Bribery and Wagering

Penalty
Disqualification

Definition
Wagering occurs when a player or spectator at a tournament places a bet on the outcome of a tournament, match or any portion of a tournament or match. The wager does not need to be monetary, nor is it relevant if a player is not betting on his or her own match.

Philosophy
Bribery and wagering disrupt the integrity of the tournament and are strictly forbidden.

Not sure on the complete reasoning, but it's pretty clear by the book the enalty is indeed a DQ.

Props to Cook though, I'm rooting for him.

Is there a decklist for the Vengevine Madness deck yet?

[ummon]

In the deck breakdown, was TES counted as ANT or something? I didn't see TES there...

[MMogg]

That's what I'm assuming. I mean, Evan Erwin labelled it as ANT in his pre-Columbus breakdown, and he's like god. :wink:

Yeah, they counted it as ANT. They really need to at least make an effort to learn the names of decks. I mean, they called Tempo Thresh "RUG".

There's no threat to integrity if people are betting on themselves. This seems like asinine constructionism.

"Bryant Cox" Good job coverage guys.

Lol! Bryant Cox! is that a typo?

[MMogg]

"Bryant Cox" Good job coverage guys.

LMAO, cuz he luvs dem cox. :tongue:

Much more diverse top 8 than I expected. Impressed.

[JeroenC]

"Bryant Cox" Good job coverage guys.

I lol'd

[Felidae]

so they are 7 copies of Emrakul in the Top 8 and only 4 Goyfs.... I love this format :D.

Vengevine Madness deck looks fun :)

[Getsickanddie]

LMAO, cuz he luvs dem cox. :tongue:

If you only knew...

[MMogg]

So Bryant vs. Caleb... looking at Caleb's list, this looks tough. FoW, Daze main and Spell Pierce in the board.



so they are 7 copies of Emrakul in the Top 8 and only 4 Goyfs.... I love this format :D.

+1 I predicted 2 Zoo and luckily there were 0, despite it being the most played Day 2 deck. Really cool top 8 collection of decks with 2 Storm. Props to those who predicted that.

[TheInfamousBearAssassin]

There's a disturbing amount of blue in that top 8, given that M. Tutor just got the axe.

[Meekrab]

so they are 7 copies of Emrakul in the Top 8 and only 4 Goyfs.... I love this format :D.
8 Goyfs... Tom Martell and Brad Nelson are both playing 4.

[Jonathan Alexander]

It's Dr. Cox' son. But seriously, what the hell is wrong with these guys?

[ummon]

So Bryant Cook and his TES deck aren't in the top 8 after all. Bryant Cox and his ANT deck are. :D :D :D :D

[paK0]

Holy Crap, a 59 Card Sneak Attack deck in the T8 :D

[Meekrab]

It's Dr. Cox' son. But seriously, what the hell is wrong with these guys?
A hastily scribbled k can look an awful lot like an x. And 'Coox' is obviously a typo, so it became Cox?

[KillemallCFH]

What a bizarre Top 8.

Let's see Grapeshot take it down.

[Purgatory]

so they are 7 copies of Emrakul in the Top 8 and only 4 Goyfs.... I love this format :D.

Well, there are 8 Goyfs, but the point still stands, I suppose.

[ummon]

Holy Crap, a 59 Card Sneak Attack deck in the T8 :D

And a 58 card CounterTop deck and a 55 card combo deck.

[Felidae]

8 Goyfs... Tom Martell and Brad Nelson are both playing 4.

damn, it would be so great :(.

[Jonathan Alexander]

So are they're playing the quarters all at the same time? I'd much rather know about Bryant than about Saito.

[TeenieBopper]

So Bryant vs. Caleb... looking at Caleb's list, this looks tough. FoW, Daze main and Spell Pierce in the board.


He already beat at least one deck with FoW, Daze, Spell Pierce, and Blood Moon.

[TeenieBopper]

Also, fuck ggslive. No one gives a shit about pros. Fuck Nelson and Saito, too.

[MMogg]

24 copies of Force of Will in the top 8. It's like Bryant is walking through a mine field. If he manages to get through Caleb, he has to face Saito... assuming he wins. :eek:



He already beat at least one deck with FoW, Daze, Spell Pierce, and Blood Moon.

Yeah, but still... that doesn't mean you want to have to do that each round.

[ummon]

Anyone have a stream for Cook's match? I mean Cox's match?

[TheInfamousBearAssassin]

Jason Ford's deck desperately needs another kill con but is sexy regardless.

[TeenieBopper]

24 copies of Force of Will in the top 8. It's like Bryant is walking through a mine field. If he manages to get through Caleb, he has to face Saito... assuming he wins. :eek:




Yeah, but still... that doesn't mean you want to have to do that each round.

Dude's been playing the deck for like four years. In Syracuse. Where there are like two people in the entire area with the balls to run a deck without force of will (incidently, I'm the other one. Goblins4L).

[JeroenC]

24 copies of Force of Will in the top 8. It's like Bryant is walking through a mine field. If he manages to get through Caleb, he has to face Saito... assuming he wins. :eek:.

Saito's not very likely to win his QF.

[lolosoon]

Anyone have a stream for Cook's match? I mean Cox's match?
Errr, I do have some videos of Cox match but not sure you'll appreciate'em...

Jason Ford (CAB Jace) vs Chris Gosselin (Emrakul Combo)

Looks like the 4 MD Innocent blood and the counter package will give a hard time to Gosselin.

[Nihil Credo]

I second IBA on the disturbing prevalence of blue. Though on the flip side, Brainstorm, FoW and company are fueling seven extremely different decks. We're not looking at another Threshold era.

[dschalter]

Saito's not very likely to win his QF.

Yeah, Saito got unlucky with the DQ randomness- Nelson's deck just smashes Merfolk.

[Sanguine Voyeur]

I was linked from another source and taken back by how similar this "Bryant Cox's" deck is similar to "Bryant Cook's" TES.

:\

[MMogg]

Yeah, Saito got unlucky with the DQ randomness- Nelson's deck just smashes Merfolk.

I love that deck. A modern take on PT Junk. Love it.

Bryant Cook is up against Caleb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TeenieBopper]

According to ggslive, Bryant is up a game.

And they even called it TES. Okay, only +1/2 about the announcers being fucking retards.

[tsabo_tavoc]

So Bryant is 1-0 ahead? Great, and his roadblock Saito will be soon knocked out!

[Jonathan Alexander]

Nice one.

[lolosoon]

Cook is up a game.

Indeed, just leaked from the ggsLive commentators.

Way to Go Bryant !!!

Now . . . versus 4 sided in Spell Pierce. Come on Bryant!

Any word on the other matches?
