Sunday, 3:22 p.m. – Overheard at the Grand Prix

"Want to counter my Show and Tell?"
"I think I should, but I can't. So ... What have you got?"
"Well, I had hopes of you countering. I don't actually have anything at all to put on the battlefield."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Want to counter my Show and Tell?"
"Know what? I think I'd rather let that resolve."
"Well ... then I put Emrakul, the Aeons Torn onto the battlefield."
"What a coincidence! I have an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn as well."
"So, what now?"
"I untap, attack with my Emrakul, and you sacrifice six permanents, which probably includes your Emrakul. Tough luck."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"End of turn, I copy my Dark Depths with Thespian's Stage and create an indestructible 20/20 token?"
"Sure."
"Untap? Draw?"
"Sure."
"Attack you for 20?"
"Nah, you forgot to pay for The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale you got lying around there, so you actually need to sacrifice your indestructible 20/20."

Just posted that on Salvation, and was gonna do that here. Feel bad if a guy gets his 20/20 gg'ed from this.

I'm rooting for Javier. I played him in round 4 (where I got my first loss). He was really nice and a very good player. I liked how precise he was in his play, announcing each trigger, explaining exactly what he was doing with Sylvan Library, and so on.

He plays a Team America version which he tuned for the mirror match, replacing 2 Tombstalker with 2 Dark Confidant, and playing 3 FoW / 3 Liliana MD. I misread him, thinking he was playing Drew Levin's "Blue Jund", and got surprised when he started playing Delvers.

Awkward... Especially since Tabernacle is a destroy and not a Sac effect

The tabernacle destroys and the 20/20 is indestructible right?

[KobeBryan]

THe tabernacle says destroy...how do you destroy an indestructible.

This.

The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale

Clear case of RTFC. Now the question what happened afterwards. Is that the opponent trying to mislead a player with false rules?

Top 8 Decklists are up -

Did a single copy of TNN make top 8?

5 TNN's over two decks.

RTFC is hard with these older cards and, I would guess, at international tournaments. Also Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale was previously oracled as a sacrifice effect, and within the last few years was changed back to its original keyword (even after the printing of [card]Magus of the Tabernacle[/card]), but I have to assume that the tabernacle owner knew what his 400$ card did.

Nice scarf!

Almost as fancy as your alt-art deck :P

Git Er Done!!

I sure hope they stream the Miracles mirror, way more interesting than Team America vs Reanimator.

Oh, they're going to stream it. Hell, they could probably stream the entire Team America vs. Reanimator match and we'd miss maybe half of the first game of the Miracles match.

[SirTylerGalt]

If Javier dazes the Reanimate, isn't Loic forced to exile one of his own permanents when Ashen Rider enters the battlefield? (since Javier has no permanent in play)

Yup.

[Esper3k]

Sounds like Einherjer in the finals!

[Whippoorwill]

Nope, he lost in the Miracles mirror. Great run though, congrats on making top 4 Einherjar!

[Zllig]

Nooo, Einherjer is Phillip. It was an excellent run for him, really showing people how good Miracles is. It's shame he got paired against the maindeck Red Blasts version.

[Grand Superior]

It's a little ironic, then, because he was promoting maindeck red blasts in his "Crushing GP Paris" thread on this site.

Still, congrats to him! Great run.
