Add "permanents ETB transformed" to that and we got a winner

I'd prefer "when a creature/permanent enters the battlefield, transform it" because of stuff that triggers on transformation but either would be good.

Especially with the dumb rule that makes it so permanents that can't transform don't change zones if they would change zones transformed. :v:

I mean it was a pretty big fire and Nissa had to do some stuff too. Sorin and Ugin apparently never actually wanted to kill the eldrazi so that would be why they didn't

Per some wiki

"the Eldrazi were forced into physical form, but the three planeswalkers weren't powerful enough to defeat them. The three were forced to compromise. Instead of killing the Eldrazi, Sorin lured them onto Zendikar where they imprisoned them. "

Good to know that new super friends are stronger than the old super friends.

And the reason they didn't want to kill the Eldrazi is that killing the Eldrazi was a) impossible (they'd persist in the blind eternities), and b) would cause something even worse even if it were possible (they'd be completely unchained from Zendikar and could absolutely do anything).

These issues were retroactively resolved by "ha ha just kidding you guys".

Yeah I assume there will be some blowback for killing those guys later.

This is a complex question that I think I'll leave to the story team to answer fully, but I can say this. Neither Sorin, nor Nahiri, nor Ugin ever tried to kill the Eldrazi.

If they stuck to the game the original Kickstarter was for, would that game have been possible to make?

It looks like the very long-lived beings like Sorin and Ugin have seen some hosed up things in their time and are cagey about permanent solutions to situations they don't fully understand. Hence, Ugin preferred to imprison the Eldrazi; he doesn't know what role they serve in the multiverse or if their absence will have unpredictable consequences a millennium from now.

I'm calling bullshit. That link to SCG took me to 2263 pages of results. Link to the individual decks.

Edit: I did some additional digging on SCG, these are the possible decks he found:

Grixis Delver legacy open 2/27 philly

grixis delver SCG Classic 01/03 cincinnatti

grixis delver 1/24 SCG Classic atlanta

grixis delver SCG Classic 1/10 charlotte

The other two are for IQs, which definitely wouldn't have 100 people. Do we know the attendance for those classics?

Uh, it shows 6 here? Fix your internet.

Also the whole Painful Truths as a random 1-of sideboard card seems like it's really against the spirit of the bet to find decks that "feature Painful Truths."

See, the Eldrazi were also vulnerable to just being hit very hard. Sorin and Nahiri just got played by Ugin into thinking it was impossible, and that's why they did not try.

Ugin is basically Urza 2.0, and he was planning to harness the eldrazi later for the "greater good"

On the flip side we were asking for top8 finishes and one of those is a 775 player tournament.

The rules were set up and he barely squeaked into a finish and gangsines has already graciously admitted defeat so why bother trying to argue it now?

I think even mcmagic will agree it's not a legacy powerhouse but it's more playable than enchantress decks XD
