Why would he? I'm sure he's played this match approximately never.
Re: GRAND PRIX: CHICAGO!!! - Live Coverage
What the fuck is Nassif high?

Good, DS prey on CB. Time to learn how legacy works for my fellow frenchman.
But still, packing DragonStompy through a 15 round swiss tournament.
Man, he musts be confidant in his personal lucky star.

Wait.
You wrote that SCG article didn't you!
The one where you devoted a oneliner to dragon stompy :tongue:
Re: GRAND PRIX: CHICAGO!!! - Live Coverage
Dragons carrying swords? Speaking of which, no SOFI/SOLS in that list. A solomn 2 jittes in the board. Weird.

It could be because the wotc coverage blows.

I did, and I've already been proven wrong, wouldn't be the first time.
That said, I don't think anyone would've ever guessed that DS was going to be this close to winning the GP.

Pointy sticks anyway :( I didn't bother checking out the list yet.

I mean, they do have All-In Red in Extended, right?
Re: GRAND PRIX: CHICAGO!!! - Live Coverage
Even if DS wins this thing I'll still be getting rid of my DS stuff asap.
:tongue:

Shouldn't be hard to figure out that Card That Does Nothing < Card That Does Something though. I mean, he's just about the best player on the planet; you'd expect that would be trivially obvious to him.

Pretty common for DS. The creatures are big enough by themselves and the deck really can't afford cards that do nothing alone as it doesn't draw cards.

No Counterbalance though. Don't think Nassif has ever tapped a Chalice either.

Not anymore, thanks to Path To Exile, and well.. you know. Out of sight, out of mind.

Certainly supports the claims of everyone about Nassif not knowing the format. This is a common mistake, people who don't know much about legacy will keep in CB against decks like DS and Affinity simply because they are thinking "I know this card is good so I'm keeping it in" rather than making the correct decision.
And yes, WotC coverage sucks ass!!!!

Nassif does some odd things sometimes. Could be he's trying to just handicap himself like he did at Kyoto. Nassif enjoys a good challenge.

Re: GRAND PRIX: CHICAGO!!! - Live Coverage
Counterbalance was good against Affinity in Extended last year; it's probably still fine in Legacy depending on what else you have to cut.
Also, most of the people in this thread seriously need to get over themselves.

I don't get the reference. What did he do?
Re: GRAND PRIX: CHICAGO!!! - Live Coverage
Assuming he boarded in Energy Flux and KGrip (in fear of Chalice) he now has 7 3-drops to counter Moons, Trinis, Maulers etc. so there is some thinking going on but obviously he's overrating Chalice and underrating Boil here.
