Suck it mill, suck it Blue Tron haters, suck it Affinity. I just sold Blue Tron on MTGO yesterday. I got tired of never actually drawing a spell in any of my games.

I am just going to point out, that these decklists shown on the GP stream is actually something the MTG production crew is doing better than SCG.

It just looks nicer and anyone watching who cares about that stuff would rather see it that way than just a list.

Paulo conceding the game instead of going to draw was too classy. Crazy.

The coverage of this GP has been very good. Hardly any breaks. Actually interesting side bits. Lots of diverse matchups. Very strong.

Also, magic players are the worst: Marshall Sutcliffe @Marshall_LR So my camera apparently got stolen from the booth at the GP. I use it for LR/vlogging and such. If anyone has any info on it hit me up

Did that UB Mill guy ever get on camera again? Wanted to see more of how the deck worked, most everything he won that Tron match with is stuff I'm already using.

These Ben Stark quotes are loving amazing.Sickening posted:GP's are a thief's paradise. Sad but true  Edit: So for all you guys that goes to multiple GPs, besides getting rest and having snacks/water with you, how else do you guys last the 9 sounds of magic? I ran into a wall in round 5 and I just nodded and made really bad plays and I barely remember anything from that round. Thisuck fucked around with this message at 00:17 on May 23, 2016 |

Irony Be My Shield posted:He lost a narrow match to Jund first today. They did show his decklist yesterday, the really funny thing about it are the 4 Manic Scribes and maindeck Jace's Mindseekers. I did see his decklist yesterday during his Tron match, I just wanted to see how Bridge/Phantasm did on defense and how much work Scribe could do. I really question the need for both Bridge and Phantasm but I think Scribe could have a legit home in the deck especially with 4 Mesmeric Orbs. I was also hoping to see a Set Adrift->mill line for the world's rudest pseudo-Vindicate.

Also the bans opened up a lot of sideboard space and it's very easy to not lose to burn with a good sideboard plan. little munchkin fucked around with this message at 00:34 on May 23, 2016 |

Just like others have said, today was the best Magic broadcast ever. It's not even close. If WOTC continues this for all GP/PT events, good things are coming. If I were SCG, I would be looking to steal a lot from this coverage. Eldrazi seems to be good without being oppressive. Control is playable again. Hell, everything feels playable right now. Modern is amazing again and holy gently caress my balls are humming with righteous power right now. MTGfinance is about to get silly again though. A lot showed up this weekend that wasn't on the radar and should be spiking pretty hard.

Turns out, Gaby and LSV make a pretty solid team, I'm glad to have caught it for myself. The whole production was great, even with the few technical issues, really hope that CFB can keep it up. Or that Magic coverage can get better. Okay that last one is probably about as realistic as "Standard-legal reprint of Black Lotus at common", but it was a good weekend for watching some Magic.

I'm glad to see Eldrazi is still good, modern could do with more archetypes. I look forward to Kaladesh breaking Affinity (again) e: also banning Twin and unbanning Ancestral made Modern so much better, wow.

11-4 at GP Charlotte with junk midrange/goodstuff. Picked up my last loss and knocked out of top 64 in round 15 Day 2 went waaay smoother than day 1. Got to take Brad Nelson out of the tournament. Not bad for my first GP and still had a lot of fun.
