The problem is that if this wasn't the official line, it's what people have been reporting: that the reveal would be "Sunday, at the Pro Tour." The Pro Tour isn't for another few weeks, but they said that on a Saturday, so of course everyone blanked out the "at the Pro Tour" in their heads. Everyone also expected more Magic-related announcements today, adding to the confusion.

I just figured there was a pro tour going on somewhere. I barely pay attention to that stuff if it isn't drive able (and I hear about those from the nerds at my shop).

The High Tide player also fought through a Null Rod that was blanking his Candelabra of Tawnos. When he eventually got the rod off the board, that was what let him ramp directly up to 70 mana with 2 Candelabras.

Still watching GP Philly, the top 8 draft is currently under way. Reid Duke has went about as deep as somebody can get who opened not Chromanticore. EDIT: his deck's now settling in to base black control with a lot of great blue and green cards, looks like he's read the table incredibly well. an_mutt fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Apr 13, 2014 |

I've found that tickets for GP Manchester are on sale, should I go for the VIP tickets? I may have a bye so I'd benefit from the sleep-in-special, and the fixed seating sounds good. Would anyone with prior GP experience say it was worth it? I often seem to get headaches at big events and I think it might be down to not drinking enough, so being brought water sounds good. Or it may just be other players not showering. Water fixes the problem either way.

Add this to the OP for adorableness. Shrout once again back to picking some of the fun matches for us to watch. He's already better than any other person that has been in charge of choosing on camera matches in a month on the job.

Depending on the other bonuses, it's not generally worth it for me.

Depending on the other bonuses, it's not generally worth it for me. It also guarantees me the playmat, so need to see what extra effort would be needed for that. Just read Athreos again, how does that work with other on death/enters graveyard effects like Persist and Undying. Can opponents break beneficial effects like that, since Athreos' effect isn't a"may".

Attorney at Funk posted:I think you get to stack the triggers yourself, don't you? Persist fails if the card isn't in the graveyard when it resolves - so if you order it Persist, Athreos, then Athreos resolves and the card will be in your hand, and Persist will fizzle. But Athreos doesn't say anything about the location when the ability resolves, so you could do Athreos, Persist, and the card would re-enter the battlefield from Persist, then return to your hand from Athreos. Yeah?

When an object changes zones is generally considered to be a new object for terms of abilities/targeting. So guy with persist dies. It's controller stacks the triggers so persist resolves first and returns that creature to the battlefield. Athreos' trigger goes to resolve and the persist creature is no longer in the yard so can't be moved from the yard to it's controller's hand.

I put together that ridiculous green devotion deck for like, 8 tickets on MTGO and it's really, really, really fun. The shenanigans are just awesome. Swinging in with 24 power on turn 4? Possible. Having 5 creatures on the table on turn 3? Yep. Just now I snuck in a 4th turn win against mono black by swinging with the team and double aspect of hydra on Dryad Militant to make her 18/18 a tusker hitting for 3.
