Its also now on you tube. Where you can see in g2 where I misscount and decay one time I dont need to (I thought I would got so and extra turn).
And g3 after he snap surgicals. I have the kill just casting tendrills and paying for 5 flusters but I was into the plan of finding a led, rain of filth, decay, grip, fluster or second tendrills and even I had him at 10 life in my notepad I just missed it and went for all this cantrip line where I could have missed the win (had a lot of outs, but sometimes luck is not there always) and loose.
But still a nice game of beating 2 fluster, 2 fow, surgical and caster.
Thanks to everyone for beeing cheering for me!
So did I read correctly that all Storm players dodged Eldrazi this GP?
(Also, it's interesting how this is reverse-Lille - everyone made day two there, nobody did in Prague.)

It is because you guys said: "Eldrazi? Let us hope, we can simply dodge this deck!"
My friend Lukas (missed Top8 at his last Game) ran into 1 Eldrazi deck (and beat it) Day 1. But yeah i guess Togores (Congrats!) simply lead the field and all Eldrazi (15 at top100) only saw his back and were unable to catch the Master of Storm.

The Eldrazi count between the six players in my travelling group was 3, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0. Completely ridiculous. (I didn't play Storm, but I faced Eldrazi three times.)

Playing 0 eldrazi was really lucky. Expected to play 2 or so. Was surrounded by them. But like always to win a big event you have to be really lucky in a lot of spots. Also I saw most decks really prepared for eldrazi and not for storm. Like 3 sb cards only or so. Also from round 11 or so. There was just one or may be two eldrazis on the ~10 first tables. Just players hated a lot against and that payed of for me when I got to the top.
Better lucky than good :D

You're too humble Togores. I'm sure we could compile a long list of actions you took throughout the course of the tournament and the days, weeks, months, and years prior that put you in a position to do very well. Luck also plays a role but you'd never be in the position to get so lucky without those preparations.
I'm curious, when, if ever, storm has taken the top prize at a GP.
Storm took the first place at GP Ghent wich was about 5 years ago
Rodrigo, I just wanted to add that I'm very pleased that a storm player with your attitude won. It's great to see an individual in your position still acknowledging where they could improve and being humble - I hope it continues to serve you well in your life. Many of the other consistent performing storm players people look up to in our community serve as poor role models to other players due to their arrogance and poor integrity with the rules of the game.
Also, I switched from TES to ANT about 8 months ago, after having played TES for 4.5 years. You were a strong influence in that decision and I haven't looked back.
Congratulations on an excellent performance.

I think he means that Wizards doesn't want palyers to cast so many spells in one round: "Go and play, DnT, guys, ah and SCG says you should splash for Nahiri!" That's the only senseful interpretation of his statement.
In a way, Storm demands a certain type of player who might be regarded as "arrogant" but well...
It was nice to meet you; crap you didn't do better the next day. Well well, next year or the other eternal events. You know, the luck...
All in all, I have to say that I was kind of surprised by the amount of Shardless I saw and Show and Tell based decks being everywhere as well (at least day1). I wasn't really testing these two MUs and expected to face Eldrazi/Elves(or other non-U junk)/Delver/Miracles but dodged 3 of them, which wasn't great in
the case of Miracles and Elves(read turn 2 otp fishing deck) since I was well prepared for Miracles.

Shout out to my mirror match opponent at GP Columbus who fucked up his go-off turn and shamefully passed the turn, watched me walk into* a Flusterstorm, then got me on the next turn anyway.
* I could have played around it slightly by going for Past in Flames instead of Tendrils, but it turned out that it wouldn't have mattered.

Congrats on the win, Togores. I'm curious, at 1:00:35 in the video (when Past in Flames resolves after the second Surgical Extraction), you have 2 mana floating, 4 untapped lands, and Lion's Eye Diamond and Tendrils of Agony in hand. Tholance has only 10 life at that point, and the storm count is 5. Why not just tap two lands and play Tendrils right then? Tholance will have to use his Top to draw Flusterstorm and counter. Then, you can play LED, tap another land, and flash Tendrils back again. I suppose you don't know for sure that Tholance has Flusterstorm on top of his deck, but I can't imagine what he could have that would disrupt playing Tendrils twice in a row.
