Todd Anderson has Fiery Temper in hand, 4 red mana, a Thing in the Ice on 2, and the red merfolk that draws a card when you cast your 2nd spell. He's dead on board to a Reality Smasher and 2 Vile Aggregates. His draw for the turn is another Temper, which the Commentary guys are sure means he's dead. He cast the first Fiery Temper targeting Smasher, uses the trigger to madness the 2nd targeting his opponent, flipped the Thing, cleared the board, and died in like 2 turns anyway.

BW Control/Eldrazi is neat and good, Avacyn is bonkers, various Human flavours. Current round is GB Tokens with Cryptolyth Rites (sp) vs Naya Midrange feat. Nahiri

I find the use of Drownyard Temple pretty interesting. It makes sense, if you bin it with one of the discard outlets it basically flashes back as a 3 mana Wild Growth.

e: in particular it's a good way to squeeze extra value out of Magmatic Insight.

Correct, it only has the characteristics of its front face in all zones that aren't the battlefield. (Color identity for EDH is an exception.)

Cedric was trying to describe the other guy in the booth jumping to a neighboring state to win the States championship and then taking it back home as being sort of like CM Punk winning the WWE title, quitting the company and then defending the title in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Not only did this not happen, he didn't exactly

It was actually a lot closer to Ric Flair taking the Big Gold Belt with him to WWF.

I think if Jadine knew that 2 of her Declaration in Stone were on the bottom, she should have used Nahiri's ultimate to shuffle her library.

EDIT: Oh she won anyway because she's the best

That game was bonkers, the board state was jammed on both sides and stalled with an Ormendhal on one side and a Nahiri on the other.

For those not watching, she had two cards left in her deck. She flips a den protector to get back a nadir I, then untapped and attacks with 4 den protectors. Harlan blocks with Ohrmendal and Jadine uses dromoka's command to have it fight an Ulamog and die while putting a counter on an unblocked protector. Harlan goes to 4 life. And Jadine casts Nahiri, discarding Avacyn's Judgement and hitting for 4. Exactly.

There appears to be a Deck lists link on the SCG front page but it only seems to lead to coverage. Flash player or whatever isn't compatible with my phone so maybe it's that.

He's actually been pretty entertaining and has had some good banter with Cedric. Definitely the best out of the new ones, all the others have been really awkward or boring.

Are there any good resources out there to read about pauper? I recently got started actually playing (with the duel decks) as opposed to reading about/watching magic, and I don't really want to spend a ton of money. I've found the metagame breakdown on mtggoldfish, but I know very little else about the format.

A goon after my own heart. Apparently the store near my place (which I thought only did EDH/draft) did a Modern FNM Easter weekend that I didn't learn about until this past week :( I, too, would have been the mill goober in that room.
