Barely got in to day 2 with a 7-2 record.
Well, if you get to Thopter+Sword + Kelch der Leere people, that's all that matters. It seems like 2000 people decided to play UR judging by the coverage.Quote:

If he doesn't get unlucky for the rest of the day, he might be our token non-Brainstorm deck in the Top 8.

Does Mattias like combo? Does Patrick like Burn? Does Cedric like goblins and their belcher? give it a fucking rest.
If it wasn't for that asian guy rocking "that" Landstill, Delver variant wouldn't exist nowadays- as far as I know he's the creator of the original Canadian Threshold with David Caplan back in the day (they're both canadians)Quote:

Is anyone staying over to Monday morning and do they have a bed (or floor) to spare?
So we have 8000 delvers at the site? :DQuote:

Yep, let's just cast Misthollow Griffin until you die. Makes a change from Day 1.
Modern GP coverage: All the weird decks on day one, same decks day two.
Legacy GP coverage: Delver day one, real decks on day two.
Was nice to see something other than Miracles/Delver.
Hunt? Fuck, I really like the energy that Philips and Sull bring to the coverage.
Welp, that was a dead Infect dude. :cool:Quote:

does lands just have good matchup vs delver?
If you have a good start, yes. Because you run two EE main and can loop them on top of having Tabernacle, being the most effective Wasteland deck in the room and there is not a whole lot of grave hate in the Delver decks right now. Also you get to draw 3 cards a turn while they get to do it maybe four times. Its fun to play.Quote:

The two Lands listed are of the rG combo variety, no EE.Quote:

There is currently, at least, 4 Lands at x-2 or better.
The fuck is going on with that lands deck?
I cannot be the only one feeling disgustipated.
Welp, it's out of Top8 contention now thanks to Become Immense.Quote:

Oh, Combo lands runs 4 Punishing Fire, 3/4 Grove, 3/4 Crop Rotation and 4 Gamble. You just become the control deck faster than Delver can deal with it and once you have Loam going, you just get more mana to loop Fire and run them out of Creatures. Having a 4/2 Split of Exploration and Manabond helps too. There is also the matter of the flying 20/20 that they have exactly 0 answers for that is a fun way to close out the game.Quote:

I would not have minded a drawn dickbutt on them, I do like a completely whitebordered deck etc.
But those cards really bothered me more than I'd like to admit.
Mud !
