    GP Vegas Thread

    Should be starting to stream in a little more than half a day. Commence hype.

    "Expect to see the entirety of the Legacy main event, the Limited Top 8 draft and matches, and a whole lot of Modern to close out the weekend."

    So glad they decided to cover entirety of legacy! I will make sure to send tweets of happiness and support, the opposite of my outrage GP Louisville tweets.

    I'm not saying it's the easiest deck to play, but the plan is so linear that I could probably get white girl wasted and still beat people with the deck.

    According to CF's twitter, it will be on the Magic channel. No idea when it will start they just said 9, local time. So, I guess any minute now...

    Is there a page with standings or pairings? Curious about how certain people are doing.

    That wasn't Czech Pile technically, just 4c pile of cards.

    Some Death's Shadow deck was undefeated after day 1. Does anyone happen to know more? It's an interesting concept, I hope to see Snuff Out back in business.

    EDIT: I was a careless reader. It was undefeated before the last round but there's no info after that.

    Where did you hear that?

    Undefeated decks are

    2 Grixis Delver
    2 Miracles
    1 Infect
    1 RUG Delver
    1 Grixis Control
    1 Sneak and Show
    1 4c Leo
    1 ?

    The unknown is Sam Tharmaratnam, apparently his first Legacy GP so probably not Shadow. Josh Utter-Layton is 8-1 with UB Death's Shadow though, maybe that's what you heard? It looks really strong.

    Yeah it was 7 or 8 and 0 last time it was on stream. I didn't see snuff out, but it was essentially UB Delver with Death's Shadow. Watery Graves, Probes, Street Wraith etc. Gurmag Angler as well, and big counter suite FoW, Daze(daze watery grave is great for Shadow), Spell Pierce, Stifle-Wasteland, Fatal Push.

    I never thought I'd see the day where returning a Watery Grave to hand with a Daze is a benefit rather than a detriment.
