Oh man, Jeskai Ascendancy Combo continues to be the coolest deck ever this standard.  He dug through what? A third of his deck for that Helix?

Well if the judge stopped play the right thing for the oppoent was not to argue and provide accurate information when prompted. Zoness posted:it's actually about ethics in feature table journalism Will admit that I laughed. Also more Judge action now.

I find Sum Wook's slow rolling (along with Tian's in round 4) to get really grating when they do it for every single card they draw when they try and combo off. Come on dude, just draw your card and look at it.

Jesus Christ let's theorycraft about CRATERS CLAWING our own loving caryatid to kill our opponents and then say we were thinking about bile's blight in RED GREEN DRAGONS. This manages to be worse than DotA coverage by the worst casters.

Zoness posted:What after seeing that chapin debacle you want people to motion through drawing cards faster? To quote the man of the hour Mr. Chapin himself: "Don't look, just slam it." Jeskai Ascendancy combo would be much more entertaining to watch go off if every important card drawn was slammed on the table straight away.

Lancelot posted:Jeskai Ascendancy plus two mana dudes plus Retraction Helix plus Dragon Mantle. With Ascendancy + 2 dudes you get 2 mana every time you cast a spell. Dragon Mantle + Helix means you can draw your entire deck and either kill them with the now enormous mana dudes (through +1/+1 triggers off Ascendancy) or through Altar of the Brood milling. Oh I vaguely remember seeing that a month or so ago on SCG. Hooray combo decks.

Huh, was Anticipate enough to make Ascendancy Combo viable?an_mutt posted:It won. Madden (?) was able to Duress an End Hostilities from Owen's hand the turn before it would have wiped his board, then he swung for lethal the next turn. Another sweet deck that I want to build now!

Am I crazy or did Nam Sung Wook's combo not work Game 1? If he plays Altar of the Brood and his only bounce loop is Dragon Mantle, won't he mill himself to death before his opponent does, since he had way less cards in his library at the time? Since he has to draw a card from Dragon's Mantle's ETB?

It would be worth all the $$. I'm pretty sure SSG's production crew is contracted out. They would just need to get the same company (or outbid SSG for that specific team after their contract is up). Very rarely would a company like Wizards or SSG build a production crew in house.

It still has a pretty unfavorable matchup with anything running Courser of Kruphix, Sylvan Caryatids and most of the cards in the Abzan Aggro deck.

Irony Be My Shield posted:That's technically true, but he was drawing his whole deck and I imagine he had something else to loop in there somewhere (either something like a Spidersilk Net or another Altar). The fact that there's so few Narset-control decks suggests it didn't test very well, though.

True, there are only 2 UW control decks (vs, for example, 5 Chromantiflayer and 6 RG bees).
