Embrassing half-final on Washington DC GP - Just TNN vs 2 TNN race.. guess who wins, other to decks are combo (Dredge and Sneak) Sneak passes.
So basically looks like we have 2 types of decks - TNN including and combo XD

Yeah that game was a total joke. Proof of the terribleness of TNN's design.Quote:

But I guess the people saying that nemesis is not format warping will be more quiet.
No RUG in top8 - which can lead to a fact about TNN.
How so? RUG has massive problems against a resolved RiP - something UWR Delver doesn't really care about.Quote:

I'm more suprised we aren't see more Toxic Deluge yet.
Edit: People who are saying that you can race it: The problem isn't a single TNN, but when the second one hits the board. One can easily beat you down while the other one is on blocking duty until you can swing for lethal.
Except for the fact that there was two RUG decks in the top 16, of a 1698 player event...Quote:

I'm too lazy to post a link. Just google Grand Prix Washington top 8 and you'll also find the top 16.
EDIT- Okay fine.

Thanks!
Glenn McIelwain (plays at my LGS) finished with 39 points (13-2), (outside of top 8 on tie breaks) was playing RUG, his performance earned him a ticket to PTBNG. I think there were 4 players that were 13-2 that didn't top 8, that all got PT invites.
Especially considering that some of those decks in the Top 16 had the same record as decks in the Top 8, and the only difference was tiebreakers. Places 4 through 11 all had the same number of points after the final round.Quote:

Anyone got Hatfield's list. I'm guessing it was similar to the top16 BUG list. I was discussing deck options with a friend who went and suggested a list similar to that with Tombstalker and no TNN. He ended up settling on RUG Delver and day 2'd then fizzled out.
according to the TA thread, Hatfield was on the same list as Nitewolf (aka Dan Signorini): http://www.wizards.com/magic/sampleh...come&decknum=1
Actually, Team Curio TA players all played slightly different TA lists. They were probably 70-73 of the same 75. We had disagreements about Pithing Needle, Stifle, Nature's Claim, Seal of Primodium and Krosan Grip. All of us wanted to play Tombstalker and laugh at TNNs (and play Golgari Charm).
I think it actually doesn't matter if it breaks Legacy or not. It's a shitty stupid card. It's ass in the face of every magic player. It has to go.Quote:

If your meta say so.
