GP Amsterdam - Top 8 Predictions

[death]

FWIW

2 Team America
1 Threshold
1 Blade Control
1 ANT
1 Maverick (G/W Zenith)
1 Merfolk
1 Reanimator


Only 1 non-blue in the top 8.

[(nameless one)]

Honestly I'm feeling either Affinity or MUD making top8.

And another new deck (possibly Past in Flame based)

[Philipp2293]

2 Reanimator
2 BUG Snapcaster Variants
1 Thresh
1 Maverick
1 ANT
1 Rogue

[Einherjer]

2 Merfolk
1 Maverick
1 DDFT

[Mister Agent]

1 Canadian Threshold
1 Mono Blue Merfolks
2 Team America
2 UW(x) Stone-Blade
2 TES

[Sloshthedark]

1x TA/Darkthresh

amidoinitrite?

[Gheizen64]

4 storm combo
1 belcher
1 TA

Gogogo european gp.

[Koby]

If we're going balls out to the walls...

1 Belcher
2 Merfolk (1 U/b, 1 mono)
1 GW/u Maverick
1 UB/r ANT with DD Sideboard
1 Team America
1 Nourishing Lich [coZ iT wIlL gEt U!]
1 UW/r CB/Topters

[Sea R Hill]

I am 100% sure the top 8 will be the following:

1 Affinity
1 Belcher
1 Aluren
1 Pox
1 Bersek Stompy
1 Elfball
1 Death & Taxes
1 White Stax

[KevinTrudeau]

1 Maverick
2 Merfolk
1 Stifle/Wasteland-based deck (Canadian Thresh, actual Team America and not the BUG midrange deck masquerading as such, etc.)
1 Storm combo
1 Stoneforge/Snapcaster control
1 Reanimator
1 Junk

[Whippoorwill]

6 decks with Force of Will
2 decks without it



1 Reanimator - Good deck that can play around the main hate used against it.
1 TES - I just want to see someone get Grapeshot (Grapeshotted?).
1 Spiral Tide - Wild card pick.
2 U/W/x Stoneforge decks - Popular deck that puts up good results. I'm thinking the UWr version will be popular.
1 Zoo - With control being fairly popular right now, I think a decent amount of people will write this off as a contender.
1 Team America with Delver of Secrets - All-around good deck. And I just like Delver.
1 Merfolk - Generally makes top 8 of most tournaments due to the quantity played.

[joemauer]

1 white stax
1 dredge
1 Canadian thresh
1 maverick
1 stoneblade
1 team america
1 NO rug
1 merfolk

Storm combo will get hated out.

[dsck]

2 Spiral Tide
2 Reanimator
1 UW Stoneblade
1 Canadian Thresh
1 Bant
1 Dredge

[sdematt]

Is Stax really THAT popular in Europe?

-Matt

[jandax]

No, but that one guy played it that one time.

[RainbowPenguin]

@ sdematt: People are being ironic here. See Sea R Hill. Or some might just be blinded by their love for their own particular pet deck.

@ Sims: Aifinkso!

@ Everybody: I see lots of lists thrown out without any reasoning. What's the actual point of writing these lists? Sure, you could be right, but that won't make you a legacy oracle. It will just make you the Nth monkey with the Nth typewriter.

[Whippoorwill]

What's the actual point of writing these lists?

Post count +1.

No real point though aside from people listing what they think are the best decks.

Actually, I think this is a point behind this: make sure to have your hate ready with the decks above because they are projected to be a big part of the GP.

That said, I think it would be better if theres a reason why folks think that theyre choices are going to be in the top8.

I like this idea. I edited my prediction post with my reasoning.

[menace13]

Storm, Reanimator and High Tide should see lots of play considering Misstep and that region loves combo. It should see 2 decks in top 8 minimum.

Team America and Merfolk for my blue deck picks. Hard to say what other blue decks make top 8, but will say I can see it end with around 5 slots of the top 8 belonging to blue.

Maverick for the aggro deck with the best chance at top 8.

Snapcaster 12 copies at least in top 8.

Hope to see a Doomsday list in a top 8 of Amsterdam. How fitting would it be if Storm wins outright there?

[Piceli89]

Europe is known for being innovative, dudes.

1- Counter Rebels
2- Pitch World
3- Nourishing Lich
4- Tribal Minotaurs ft. Didgeridoo
5-8: some random decks

[HokusSchmokus]

1 Dredge
1 GW
2 Thresh
2 DDFT
2 Reanimator, TES or Spiral Tide. That's what happened at my last Tourneys.

I really give Thresh or DDFT good chances of taking the shit dow top8.Alsheimer and Moyschewitz.

[JamieW89]

My random guess:

1 ANT
1 DDFT
1 Zoo
1 Merfolk
1 Junk
1 Bant
1 Tempo Thresh
1 Team America

[Pee-Dee-2]

I think, because of the popularity in Europe, this decks will make it:

- Maverick
- Team Amerika
- Reanimator
- UWx Stoneblade
- Merfolk
- UR Tempothresh

So let's say, 1 copy of Maverick, TA, Thresh and Merfolk and the others twice. But do we know, what will come up new? Maybe we'll see a all about crazy meta and at least, Solidarity will make it. Nobody knows!

[practical joke]

The funny thing is, in Europe there's hardly any TA around.

Top 8 predictions:

3x tendrills combo
2x Treshhold variants (1x RUG, 1x BUG)
1x The rocklike deck
1x stoneblade
1x Maverick

Might be that a reanimate sneaks in instead of a 3rd combo list,.
