I really want to make Green Painter so my GSZ can be awesome. Or NO for Emrakul

Yeah... Or like Green sun for Trinket mage, fetching grindstone plus activation. You could run Mainboard Deathmark. Too strong.
At least we got to see Todd Anderson just have all the combo pieces for Sneak and Show in his hand and win an easy match.
You know, I actually feel that Cedric's format knowledge has been improving. Just a few months ago I was constantly disagreeing with him, but now it's only a few times per match.
Team Hammafist-We don't take kindly to those who don't take kindly."Got any trade boogas?"
I'm confused, it looked like the Anderson's Merfolk opponent had both Phantasmal Image and Cavern of Souls in hand prior to the weird Hurkyl's Recall thing?
He looked uncomfortable. Quite possibly because of being on camera. I think he meant to play the Image, but f'ed up and then scooped. Alternatively, he may have thought that Emrakul was an artifact. If he didn't, I have no understanding of why he would board in HRecall in the first place.

Yeah I think when he realized recall didn't do anything he got flustered and scooped
One of the thiungs that bothered me, was in round 5, I think, when neither commentator wanted to move to the other feature match, which was High Tide (not sure if Spring Tide or Solidarity) vs ...something.
Thatw as annoying, although the feature match they had was an interesting clusterfuck of TNN vs Maverick.
At least SCG has a decent overlay. Compare it to the madness Wizards just used for GP Manchester: http://i.imgur.com/91UpHcn.png

I don't get how other big streamers *cough* Wizards *cough* can't get their shit together and provide an overlay on par of SCG. This isn't rocket science, especially when already shown how it's done right.
SCG Coverage blows AWAY Wizards' coverage by a country mile. All of the US commentators are forgettable. Specifically Marshall Sutcliffe, for a guy who quit his day job to do coverage, you'd think one would learn something about constructed formats. I kid you not, just a couple months ago at a Standard GP he once asked, "Is Hero's Downfall still being played?" No Marshall, it only is the premier removal spell in format ....
But as for the new overlay crap? Blame Rich Hagon. He is the person responsible for all European coverage. I have hated him in the past for his commentary, but after that decision with that horrendous overlay, I have to wonder what WotC is doing letting this guy be in charge.
Oh, would it kill WotC to provide larger, visible dice for players under the camera? Yeesh. Are they completely oblivious or just lazy?
Rich Hagon? So that's the name of the annoying guy with glasses. I hate him, too.
Wizards' handling of staff is extremely poor. See: All people responsible for the horrible mess called MTGO who get away with delivering a subpar experience. When you're personally at the point where you wish that a big corporation like Hasbro steps in to get shit back on track, you know they fucked up big time.
The entire company could use an overhaul. From R&D to marketing and productivity all the way to advertising.

You know who Wizards is desperately needing, right?
You expect, that a company, that is unwilling to let Tom LaPille go, after him insulting the whole eternal community, will ever draw a line for their employees? Hell, look how they handle positions within the design team.

Hagon just wants to do coverage worse than anyone, so he gets gigs by sheer doggedness. Supposedly he appeals to casuals, but I dunno. He has no range, all he can do is repeat the same half-dozen phrases over and over in the same artifical tone.
Don't forget Lapille leaking B/R list changes early to his pals.
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”

That's essentially insider trading in the magic community. Do they do blow together as well?
