Balon posted:How are these human decks doing so well? Is no one playing any board wipes like Languish, Tendrils, Radiant Flames, etc? Because it's week 1 and everyone is playing too aggressively to want board wipes because the effect hurts more than it helps too often to want it.

GeneX posted:Got it in one. The bant company deck is good vs languish decks anyway. If they tap out for a turn 4 languish you still get to coco, and you have tons of card advantage, sylvan advocates, and lumbering falls which are hard for the control decks to deal with.

I am actually thankful for MTGO for the reason that beta allows me to get burned out on a deck before I decide to spend way too much money on a week 1 deck.

That UR deck has all the trappings of a Day 1 SCG-tourney deck that does well because nobody knows what it's doing.

There was a mill version using Sphinx's Tutelage copying the discard then draw red spells. Since this is copying real cards instead of just draw that draws you more air it's a lot better. It's still relying on a five mana artifact though.

The top 8 one isn't playing it. Just all normal creatures. Thalia's Lieutenant could be pretty hilarious off a Interlude though. Everything comes back swole, Lieutenant gets loving huge. Edit: no t8 lists yet that I can see.

It showed up in the tokens deck, which was more of an all-in on activating Westvale Abbey.

On a related note, I'm enjoying Craig Krempels' and Cedric Phillips' banter a lot this weekend. I enjoyed the Patrick Sullivan and Cedric Phillips combination too, but I like these guys more. Krempels is more funny and playful compared to Sullivan's crotchety and angry.

Thopter Spy Network Investigate deck. Feasible? I'm guessing most people have dismissed it as being too slow, but I like the idea of getting big unblockable Tireless Trackers using Whirler Rogue and getting all the card advantage via Thopters and sacking clues. Edit: On a different note, I foresee Natural State getting jammed into every green sideboard from here on out with the number of Always Watching and white-based enchantment removal floating around.

Looks like Davis is going to win, since I literally know two things about the guy (that stupid article he wrote, and the fact he plays glacially slow) and both them make him seem like a twat.

I enjoy him a lot on Ced Talks and on commentary, I just don't think he's the best. To be fair he's probably the second best (in his prime) after Randy Buehler and Brian David Marshall combination. Edit: Also Patrick Sullivan reads the Economist.
