Nice :)
Tony is in as the 4-seed!
EDIT: If you subscribe to scgtour on Twitch, they're having a vote on what I assume will be the feature match. Tony is winning right now, but that shouldn't stop you. Vote B if you're subbed!

Unfortunately Tony Murata lost 0-2 vs Big Red, possibly the worst matchup for 12-post in the entire format. Such a shame.
Congrats to Tony for reaching nice standing position of this deck after long time was hoping that worst matchup will miss him but not .. pity
Congrats Tony. I watch you playing and your deck is sweet. I played mono green post to 36th and lost horrendously to re animator on stream when I was 5-0. LOL. It was my first tourney and i was super happy with my decklist, but right now i am trying to find space for plat emperion. Price of Progress is super good right now. U/R delver and burn are going to be very popular soon since 4 color control and 3/4 color delvers are doing so well. I was super satisfied with Conduit of Ruin but my maindeck warping wails kinda felt sucky. I am gonna replace them with 1 emperion and 1 walking ballista and give that a shot.
Congrats!
this one could be playable? :really:

You may look at the top card of your library. (You may do this at any time.)
You may cast the top card of your library if it's a creature card.
You may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast creature spells.
Great showing Tony Murata. Watched your matches through the day while I was there. Solid play. Met quite a few of your opponents throughout the day who wanted to vent to me after losing to you. :D
Congrats to Razorking for a day 2 & into_play for the top8. Unfortunately, both camera matches from this weekend looked abysmal for 12post. :-(
@ Razorking, they flashed your sideboard on coverage, but I was intrigued what was contained in your maindeck. I saw the Conduit, but wondered what other spice was inside. Can you share your list?
@ Into_Play. Any reason why you opted for two tabernacles over a different 15th card?
I played a similar list to Rock Lee's at the open and went 2-4. Got to meet @Razorking after I got killed by storm which was cool and got some insight into the very unique build that seemed to perform well. Congrats to both @Razorking and @into_play for your performances!
I just saw this and was like crap...maybe I need to move back to UG post!
- Pitches to FoW. check
- The only potential challenge is generating UG early.
- Moves cards to the bottom when what is topped sucks.
- With top, lets you play it as explore every turn.
- Ultimate can act as a candelabra affect, until your lands get swords.
- Gets hosed by Gaddock Teeg.
Also, if nissa gets to 6 loyalty; you can 0 her to put a primeval titan directly into play. Since its not a cast; meaning it can't be Forced.
I tested Tony Murata's top8 list card for card yesterday at weekly magic and found it pretty underwhelming. weaknesses to non-repeal non-show draws against midrange and less interactiveness against combo (including burn) being the biggest weaknesses. I went 1-2 (one of my weeklies forces 3 rounds) against Infect (win), Food chain (close loss), Burn (loss). Infect and Burn pilots were definitely able to play better with more experience, and the matchups felt extremely shaky.
Made a list I've been testing using the Murata list as a shell and have found it much more appealing:
// Lands
4 [ZEN] Misty Rainforest
4 [FNM] Cloudpost
2 [TSP] Vesuva
1 [WWK] Eye of Ugin
1 [LG] Karakas
1 [WWK] Bojuka Bog
4 [SOM] Glimmerpost
4 [R] Tropical Island
1 [AVR] Cavern of Souls
1 [IA] Glacial Chasm
1 [ALA] Island (2)
1 [TSP] Forest (4)
// Creatures
4 [M12] Primeval Titan
1 [ROE] Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
1 [BFZ] Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger
1 [ROE] Kozilek, Butcher of Truth
// Spells
2 [AQ] Candelabra of Tawnos
3 [UL] Crop Rotation
2 [ZEN] Expedition Map
4 [US] Show and Tell
4 [IA] Brainstorm
3 [10E] Pithing Needle
4 [CHK] Sensei's Divining Top
1 [UGF] Ugin, the Spirit Dragon
3 [MM2] Repeal
2 [EMN] Unsubstantiate
// Sideboard
SB: 4 [EMA] Force of Will
SB: 2 [C13] Krosan Grip
SB: 4 [NPH] Surgical Extraction
SB: 3 [JGC] Flusterstorm
SB: 2 [THS] Swan Song
Flex slot is 4th surgical and 2 swan songs, which could be non-blue answers, but I feel weird going so low on blue especially if I'm siding out shows.
Well, s*** I pre-ordered Nissa. Also got an Oath of Nissa playset if the deck starts to go that way. :rolleyes:
Any deck ideas with Nissa?
Unsubstantiate - hm interesting, nice inclusion. Too bad it doesn't bounce chalice or moon like cyclonic which comes in handy very often in my limited testing.
List I am working with so far that feels strong trying to exploit the new Nissa. So far goldfishing on tappedout and it feels pretty good! 18 blue sources helps pay for FoW if needed. Good interaction when Nissa is on the battlefield. When you have a top up and running, it's very powerful. Felt like the typical clunkiness is gone. Being able to Spin Top then Scry away feels wonderful. In a FoW build, 3 seems to work well as potential fodder for FoW.

So I've seen lists of UG 12post that run Trinket Mage to get your 1-mana artifacts: top, relic, candel, etc. but I'm just curious of what you all think of Trinket Mage in the UG versions of the deck. Pros-Cons etc. I'm currently building the deck so I want some professional input.
I definitely thing it is viable, especially if you only own 1 candelabra of tawnos. I recall squeezing one in my UG lists a while back. I like it because it can tutor for the "4th" eldrazi titan, walking ballista. That card has impressed me helping with both the Elves and Infect matchups.

In other news, I had a game against the 4-color Control get where Dragonlord Dromoka shined out of the Sideboard in GW post. Unfortunately, I couldn't attack with in because of a baleful strix, but it effectively bought me multiple turns.
