GRAND PRIX: CHICAGO!!! - Live Coverage

[Mantis]

I'm also hoping there's going to be an increase in Legacy activities, but I'm afraid that would also "force" WotC to increase the number of circulating copies of a couple of staples- which is something they obviously can't do.

Actually that would be pretty awesome. If they reprint the Legacy staples into a new set that's not Standard/Ext legal, they would sell packs, thus make profit and make Magic players around the globe happy as they can play the best format in this game with something on the line.

[JeroenC]

And all of our duals/Forces/whatnot would probably take a plummet in value. Not too much, but I think people who have an entire set of Revised duals would lose at least 100$ in value. I'm no expert on these matters, though.

[Mantis]

The value of goods is determined by demand and offer. If they keep that ratio the same prices should not go up or down, but yes it's a hard thing to do and I'm not sure if it's even allowed.

[JeroenC]

Increasing the offer will obviously decrease demand. Also, all of our staples (I'm pretty sure) are on the reserved list. Not seeing print, that means.

Increasing the offer will obviously decrease demand. Also, all of our staples (I'm pretty sure) are on the reserved list. Not seeing print, that means.

Look, if they hold Legacy PTQs and PT's that would mean theres more demand, thus prices go up. Then if they print extra's prices go down again to their normal level.

Reality check. I'm just daydreaming, you are right the cards on the reserved list, will never see reprint. Legacy PT's will probably never happen.

Good luck to the last men standing!
Damn I wanted to be there so badly!

[KillemallCFH]

VsTheWorld wins his first round of Day 2, and Forceofwill gets stomped by LSV. Both are 8-2 now.

[Shugyosha]

Being on the reserved list does not mean that WotC won't reprint them. As the last year has shown they can and will pretty much change everything they want if they think it will yield $, err... I mean help the game. It is indeed very unlikely but everything is possible with WotC.

@Topic: The two germans I know missed Day 2 with 20/19 pts.

Go go Caplan... go go TempoThresh

[Mantis]

My buddy Duncan is 8-1-1 ATM, he's going to sweep this tournament with an excellent metagamed build.

By the way, what will likely be the cutoff for T8? I'm thinking 12-2-1 with good tiebreakers and up or something? Or will it be it be 13-2? Or am I completely off?

[Aj-capra]

Probasco rulez!!!

Luis Scott Vargas incredible player, all important events top8!!!

[KillemallCFH]

Dave Caplan is 9-1 going into Round 11, and Geoff Smelski is 7-3. Rich Shay is 8-2; Andrew Probasco is continuing to dominate as the only 30-pointer.

[Seriously]

Same place as yesterday.

[Seriously]

thanks. I dont ever go on the wizards site, I just got the link to the coverage from here. everytime I tried to find an update for todays info, I just kept getting links to yesterdays info.

[Kitchen Table Hero]

Undefeated day 1 decklists are up!
Goyf and FoW are both at 16 in tied for most played card :D

[Silverdragon]

That 4c Zoo list looks crazy. Seriously Ranger of Eos in Legacy (and fetching Kird Ape/Nacatl instead of some crazy combo/utility), Path instead of Swords and 12 Fetchlands sounds ridiculous to me.

[URABAHN]

Out of curiosity who do you think I am?

You are T-ZERO-ZERO-L
NOT T-O-O-L, you're also not a Mod, and your name isn't Mike Turpyn. We clear?

I just saw the undefeated decklists and a couple of them make me very sad with these random 1-ofs and 2-ofs. Kurtis Droge and Paul Rietzl, what in the hell were you thinking?

[georgjorge]

The first deck is running three Riptide Laboratories, plus Spellstutter Sprites as the only Faeries in a Merfolk deck. Not bad per se, but surprising. Nice interaction with Sprites and Mutavaults, and Vial allows him to keep the mana open to save Reejereys and Adepts.

And Probasco's deck looks VERY well metagamed - Bigger Fish/ThreshThreshThreshThreshThresh always does well in a sea of Fish/Thresh decks.

[KillemallCFH]

Wow, that Blue Zoo list is, umm, interesting. Ranger of Eos finding its way into an undefeated deck isn't exactly what I expected.

I'm not sure if Spellsptutter Sprite + Riptide Lab is that good in Merfolk, but it seems to be doing pretty good for him. Probasco's NLB-esque deck looks solid. Goblins is Goblins. I'm not a huge fan of the Eva Green list (Especially the SB. Ew.).

Also, gogo NOThresh.
