Yep I was wrong, it's actually Shuhei Nakamura (Eldrazi) Ivan Floch (Chalice Eldrazi) Andrew Brown (UR Eldrazi) LSV (Chalice Eldrazi) Pascal Maynard (Affinity) Patrick Dickmann (Affinity) Frank Lepore (UB Eldrazi) JC Tao (UR Eldrazi) So 2 affinity and no infect

Just another complete oblivious human who plays magic.

Well also Caleb Durward is a somewhat deep cut, I know he puts out content on CFB but he doesn't get enough credit for having a good attitude and being chill. Also I never met Kibler irl but I've found him really annoying since he was pushing that awful game Solforge so hard. Which he wouldn't even play since it was obviously bad.

Angry Grimace posted:Eye of Ugin is not going to survive past the B&R for SOI. They are not going to let that deck move through Modern PTQ season. It shouldn't be banned. If tron lands aren't banned Eye of Eugene should be fine. It's also not that difficult to take down, there is a lot of land hate in modern. In fact it just makes side boarding for everyone else easier because tron and Eldrazi hate is pretty similar.

Comparing Eye of Ugin to Tron is uhhhhh really loose. There are multiple ways to disrupt Tron which takes several turns to assemble, versus a land that just knocks 2 colorless off of every single creature spell you cast and also tutors.

Niton posted:Frank Lepore appears to have done it? I really hope so, dude owns. I'll join in the Frank excitement. Him and LSV are probably my favorite magic personalities, so this is the first top 8 I actually am sort of interested in. Plus it's the dude's first ever pro tour, he's not part of any team, and did minimal testing. Also 6/8 decks being Eldrazi means something in that deck is eating a ban before the year is over.

If you think they're going to do anything but let this slide for way too long you're nuts. This is going to sell so many packs. Eye isn't going to be touched for awhile.

Just another complete oblivious human who plays magic. Agreed. There's a reason I don't play MTGO when I'm home alone with my daughter; she wants attention and it's not even close which is more important. He also plays terribly. I've given up watching his CFB videos after he played Jund and gave a game to burn for absolutely no reason. Like his reasoning was "well the only way I lose this game is if I tap out and my opponent draws a 4 point burn spell. My opponent is dead on board with no outs regardless of what he draws if I don't tap out. I'm going to tap out and do this thing that does absolutely nothing to help me win." Then his opponent drew Boros Charm and he died. rabidsquid posted:Well also Caleb Durward is a somewhat deep cut, I know he puts out content on CFB but he doesn't get enough credit for having a good attitude and being chill. Caleb is the only person I can think of who deals with extremely tilting situations better than LSV. Edit: Frank Lepore is terrible.

This guy gets it. People hated Battle for Zendikar, the only thing saving the set was people thinking to pair it with Eye of Ugin and Eldrazi Temple. No way will they ban either card out when they still have packs to sell.

Like, I would not be surprised in the least if it eats a ban in the next year, but I WOULD be if it does in the next 3 months.

I've never seen him even approach tangential salty-ness, even in scenarios where it would be 100% justified. Dude is permanently cheery and laughing about stuff, even horrific beats. My favorite recent moment was him doing some cube videos where his opponent F6'd his T1 so he missed a land drop, and Caleb went ahead and F6'd his own turn so the guy wouldn't be behind, just because "winning this way isn't what making these videos is about".

It is just one PT and overreacting to one is a bit silly, but LSV also said this was deck was basically Cawblade power level and I wouldn't take that sort of statement lightly. Also that Meddling Mage tweet earlier. And just looking at how strong Eye of Ugin is in the deck.

The problem isn't even how oppressive it is (it is clearly oppressive just by watching people play it), its that Reality Smasher and Thought-Knot Seer fundamentally break the rules the format because the lands produce multiple mana with literally no drawback or even any particular requirement to do so. Even Ancient Tomb costs you some life to use and even Gaea's Cradle requires you to do vomit guys before you're making it do busted poo poo. Hell, I wonder if this could be a real deck in Legacy where you can jam Ancient Tomb and City of Traitors to go with Eye and Temple.

Caleb also actually shows off weird cool decks (I don't watch him stream, so I'm going primarily by his CFB videos). He's just great and is easily my favorite CFB streamer, though LSV competes.
