Is there no Grand Prix Paris coverage or what?

Yo, I heard you like TNN's in your tournament streams so we put more TNN onstream.

[Lemnear]

I mean he was on ANT and seemed to have a heavy disruption hand (in game 3). Plus his opponent had Hardcast Force Mana on T3 thanks to exploration. It happens. Can't have the god hand everytime. Though this is indeed why TES > ANT imo.

Tbh, I had never Lands in mind, but Maverick and D&T's ;D

[Darkenslight]

Main feature at the moment is Delver vs Delver. That is, RUg (it seems) vs. UWR.

EDIT: nope, one's just UR-Delver.

[Megadeus]

Ah yes. God damn Thalia decks are tough sometimes though. It creates awkward decisions of whether to keep a fine, but slow, hand or try to mull into speed (or into oblivion)

I prefered giving Thalia decks not a second turn before comboing as seen in my last report on Eternal Central *ShamelessAdvertising*

I'm glad Miracle got some coverage and most likely more on Day 2. The deck tech showed some interesting choices by PV.

Einherjer from the forums is undefeated with the deck on Day 1

That is fair. Not saying you are wrong. Hence why I like TES over ANT. Fairly certain I would have done much better with it had I played tighter at SCG Nashville. I shouldve beaten the guy playing BW Deadguy who top 16'd in round 1, I just mis sequenced my plays when I could have Ad Nauseam'd from like 16 life with a land drop to make.

Looks like he wasn't just "all talk" in his thread with his version of Sneak & Show.

[Megadeus]

Anyone else fromt he Source there? I think I heard Julian on Elves was out

[Einherjer]

9-0 without Byes as of now.... Miracles was my deck of choice, ofc :)

Is he really rocking this awkward list?

EDIT:
ninja'd deluxe, and two thumbs up. bring it home boy!

I died. 5-3-1. Should've been 6-3, should've played better. Whatever. Sideboard cards mained and it all fell apart. I had a Sneak player who T1'd S/T into D-Sphere, then T2'd S/T into Humility. Life was hilarious. Back tomorrow for some side events. Might play Legacy.

6-2-1'ed, heartbreaking. What can I say, Turn1 Seismic Assault >> Elves and I'm out. Also should probably have won that drawn match but opponent didn't want to concede, which was very well within his right.

Lost in the finals of a Trial on Friday, so I only had 1 Bye.

R1: *BYE*
R2: GWb Hatebears w/ Zealous Persecution, 1-1-1 Draw
R3: Esperblade, 2-0 W
R4: Lands with Seismic Assault, 0-2 L
R5: Miracles, 2-0 W (<- I just keep surfing )
R6: Junk Hexmages, 2-0 W (I had the sickest of reads; will tell later or on stream)
R7: Esperblade, 0-2 L
R8: Death and Taxes, 2-0 W
R9: Shardless BUG, 2-0 W

But guys, honestly - thank you so much for saying "hi" and getting to know you. Also shoutouts to the three guys that had me sign their cards and especially my Greek friend (sorry man, what was your name again?) that wanted me to sign his entire deck. I don't feel I deserve it but it made me feel way more special than I really am.

Too bad I started out 2-1-1. They actually asked me for a feature match later + deck tech but resigned from that once I lost my first match

Can't win it all they say. Good luck to everyone playing tomorrow, especially all the awesome guys and girls I ran into. Also shoutouts to MTGMadness (and especially David!) for adding me to their team starting at this event!


BIG story time from this GP on my stream on Wednesday or Thursday. Promise!
Lieutenant of Llanowar, over and out!

Prove me wrong. gl tomorrow.

So what's with miracles suddenly becoming good again? Is it because everyone is attempting to jam a 3/1 do nothing man?

[Valtrix]

Miracles has been good for a long time. Generally people don't have enough practice to consistently do well with it though, since games will be long and small misplays can create very serious problems. Then, having to play at that level over a long tournament can be pretty mentally taxing. I think one of the reasons it's positioned to do well is that few people are playing real ways to generate card advantage, instead opting for tempo or combo plays. If you're the control deck and can stop those lines of plays, then you have the late game that other decks simply have no answer to. Plus Entreat is a pretty nutty "Oops I win button" in way more circumstances than you would expect.

It's been top tier since the printing of Miracle, never really went off the radar. Personally though, and I guess a lot of people share that opinion since they don't play the deck, topping every turn is just not what I want to do. Annoying to play with and to play against.

[Barook]

When do they return to stream?

[Julian23]

Miracles has actually been one of the very best ever since. It's just, it hasn't seen a lot of play in the US/on SCG. When I look back at Germany, it's been in the top3 decks over here for 2 years.
