[Omega]

This is how diverse legacy is!

[Peter_Rotten]

1 Dragon Stompy (lulz Artowis)
1 ANT
2 Suicide Black variants
1 GOYF SLIGH
1 Tempo Thresh
2 "Counter-Top"

Wonder what the highest placing for Aggro Loam was...

My apologies.

Andy just won the first game of his top 8 match.

[Whit3 Ghost]

Brassy vs TK will be an epic match.

I'm not thrilled with Cappy's chances preboard, but Submerge and Red Blasts might be enough to give him games 2 and 3.

Actually, Nassif manabase is extremely fragile. If David can keep him off from his colored mana source via Stifle and Wasteland, he might just buy enough time to win the game.

But the lack of Artifact removal will hurt his gameplay :S A resolved CB/top is almost GG for tempo Threshold

Disrupt is a weird choice

Well, Tommy is playing ANT and Andy is playing Counter-Top...one of these players doesn't stand a chance.

EDIT: Wait, he's playing TES! Well, he's not so screwed now.

Also, screw you Luis. I wanted you to make top 8.

EDIT: Big WTF goes out to Nassif's sideboard. Is that even correct, and if so, what was he thinking?

All of these decks look boring to play. Playing a deck with Counter-Top in it is like having teeth pulled, but at least it's better than playing against combo.

Yep, only one made day 2 and I was feeling high and mighty, then it made t8. Rough beats. At least I can dream that everyone else playing it scrubbed.

On the flip side, at PR pointed out, GOYF SLIGH MOTHERFUCKERS. Not relevant, my ass. You don't see MERFOLK in the t8 do you? :lol:

Also two Sui variants, soooo ridic.

Disrupt is absurdly good. Cantrippable countermagic is underrated.

[Pulp_Fiction]

Its not really TES, its some kind of ANT/TES Hybrid, very impressive list but no Blasts in the board .... I don't know, I don't like his chances, however, Shusher will be hot, especially in a combo deck running 14 lands!

It's fucking storm combo, you guys should stop arguing over nitpicky crap that doesn't matter. He probably just modded his Vintage combo lists until he felt comfortable with it.

[Nihil Credo]

Kolowith's list is actually a sort of hybrid - TES but with fetches and duals rather than Cities, and packing MD Mystical as well as a 4/1 Duress/Chant split.

And P_R, sorry to disappoint, but Six's list runs 12 pure beaters and therefore fully qualifies as Zoo. Not that anyone who doesn't compile DTBF data should care.



I'm rather relieved at seeing the Top 8 lists - I was afraid there would be like six Counter-Top decks. Glad to see that decks such as Stompy and Storm pulled it off even as they completely dodged the feature match area.

EDIT: Wow, fast thread.

[Aj-capra]

Natural order and cb+sdt suck I think...

Oky wiz not ban these cards :P

[TheLion]

Will there be decklists of the Top132, too?

[Jak]

102 people viewing this thread. WOW.

Anyone have updates?

I'm pretty sure it was in the top 16. What's-his-name was playing it, the one guy with the four Spellstutter as his only Faerie.

[Omega]

perhaps my brain is not functionning well. But can type an example of how disrupt can be amazing? I see it is like a daze, but you said it, it can cantrip away

How do you think David will side against Nassif?

He has 4 blast, possibly 1 grip. 1 EE?
4 Submerge??
And while we are at it why not bring in the 4 disrupt? lol

Will he sideout Daze? (4 daze --> 4 blast?)
Bolt/Fireice ?? But they are really good. Maybe the bolt, since the fire/ice is stronger.

[Nihil Credo]

I'm actually waiting for the player profiles. There must be a cool story behind Nassif's Highlander sideboard.

Database error. Please, please let it be a database error.

[Omega]

but his md is probably strong enough. And he is too pro to play with sb
