Why did he even keep the hand if it hasn't the ability to kill Black right on the spot?Quote:

It was a mana source away from an instant-kill - the 7 was GProbe, LED, Petal, IT, IT, Therapy, DRit.Quote:

No? Well here's UWR delver vs UR delver. Enjoy.
Wait what? Twitch always tells me the chat is disabled for SCGLive. O.oQuote:

Starcity disabled the chat on their twitch page (probably don't want to deal with moderating it), but for some reason Twitch doesn't actually disable chat.. just the display of it.Quote:

Nice, another UR Delver!
What annoys and downright alienates me are those new, fucking stupid names - what in the name of fuck is a Jeskai Stoneblade deck? Is that a UWR Delver deck? Or one of those new UWR control-based decks?
It's confusing since that name is interchangably used for both decks.
The reason is pretty simple. Several years ago, the chat wasn't 'disabled', it was well moderated. But one time, a mod went crazy and banned nearly half of the chat users. The reason for that was some misplays from the players and the chat argued about that (if I remember correct). Since SCG didn't want it to happen again, the just disabled it and switched to twitter, since they don't have to mod this.Quote:

Martell scooped so not really. But yeah it could have.Quote:

PS: He could have also won, if he plays Jitte and equip it to TNN and give it +4/+4 in his last turn. The force could also handle the smash.
IIRC Martell had a smash to smithereens (and pyroblast?) in his hand the entire time.
Didn't had Pyroblast, but 2x FOW, which I forgot.

He was unable to Fow, he was at 1.Quote:

Like we don't see enough of the Brad/Chris/Brian/Tom tag team.

Yeah, I'm with ya. There are 96 players at 6-0 right now, and they aren't all playing Stoneforge or Delver. If I was setting up matches to cover, they would not just be repeats unless it was very late in the tournament. I would much prefer to see Dredge or Lands or MUD or Elves or Punishing Maverick or that Dack Fayden deck that Cedric was talking about.Quote:

No more Young Pyromancer decks on camera please.
Adrian Sullivan's Achilles' heel. I like his writing, but I'm glad he isn't doing coverage anymore.Quote:

The looks on this McDuffie kid's face summarizes how I've felt having to watch non-stop coverage of Delver decks today.
Was watching the coverage at work, but i definitely agree with your guy's gripes, wanna see more footage of europeans and obscure//unpopular decks. What the hell is Jeskai Stoneblade???
Uh, the deck that won the SCG Legacy Open last weekend?Quote:

I think i might be more surprised that white stax made it into the top tables at a legacy GP. one lucky mofo.
Please stop talking about lands and put it on camera.
How does the Staxx player bypass the opposing Bridge without blowing up his board? O-Ring effects?Quote:

does someone publish day 1 undefeated deck lists somewhere tonight or do we have to wait till tomorrow?
Sourcer update at the end of Day 1:
Akatsuki @ 8-1
Einherjer @ 8-1
Nitewolf @ 8-1
Feline @ 7-2
Parcher @ 7-2
Oarsman @ 6-3
Nightmare @ 6-3
Stryfo @ 6-3
Julian23 @ 5-3-1
Phelix (think this is you) @ 5-3-1
I don't know what the cutoff is for Day 2, but this is an enormous tournament. I just tracked the people I recognized. Please add to the list if you know others ...
Just found out three Atlanta people are undefeated 2 URW blade at 9-0 and a Jund man with main board chains at 8-0-1
Also X-2 is the cutoff
Is the Jund guy playing a full set of chains or just 2x?Quote:

Hmmm, that's a tough cut. Makes sense, though, based on how huge the event is. Judging by the Round 1 standings, the turnout was 4,173 players.Quote:

Sounds like he's one of the lucky Junds that got full value out of the power level of the cards in Jund without suffering from the inconsistency the archetype is famous for.Quote:

Top tables looked really interesting, sorry to hear the coverage was the same 3 decks
