So the Death and Taxes deck in the top 8 ran Banisher Priest instead of Fiend Hunter, I figured Fiend Hunter would be better since you can do the Flickerwisp shenanigans to remove 2 creatures, 1 permanently. Is there a reason to run the Banisher Priest instead of Fiend Hunter besides the 1 extra power?

HOLY poo poo HOLY poo poo HOLY poo poo!!!!!!!!!! Clay is a kid at my local shop here in Indy. Kid wins the Classic in Indy and now this. So freaking proud of him. In November he had to get a kidney removed where cancer was found in it. Months of chemo later here we are. https://goo.gl/photos/E2pciWPpnQRDc7Lj6 After his first round of treatment the shop pooled together and built Modern Affinity for him as a get well soon gift. Edit: His treatment was more preemptive since the form of cancer was so aggressive. He is cancer free as of a month ago. Backno fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Jun 13, 2016 |

If you guys missed the finals of GP Prague, its worth watching. Link to Game 3 here Its miracles vs Storm Miracles player is holding force, force, flusterstorm, flusterstorm, surgical extraction, snap caster, blue card, and has a top in play. Storm player manages to win.

Skyl3lazer posted:Do people bring in Sphere of Resistance against Miracles? Why would they? Sphere effects usually aren't great against Miracles, as it's aiming for the long game and will have mana to spare. For it to matter you'd have to be trying to end the game early, in which case Sphere is just as bad for you.

eSporks posted:For sure, even game one was really sweet. He baited on a counterspell on an Infernal Tutor when he was floating PIF on top. Even if miracles chose correctly and countered the PIF instead of the Infernal Tutor, he was set up to win the following turn. That guy was just incredible at playing to his outs and he found some incredible lines only by knowing exactly what he needed to do. Oh wow, did not catch that bit on the stream. Incredibly impressive game making skills by the storm player.

Please just ban Top already.

# ? Jun 15, 2016 18:16 |

I think banning Terminus would be the better choice IMO. Counter-Top was a powerful but not oppressive engine for years, it won tournaments and was good but nothing insane. The miracle mechanic was super dumb, and what really transformed Counter-Top from a powerful control deck with a neat soft lock, to just a miserable slog to play against was the sudden ability to sweep your board at instant speed for 1 mana. I remember having matches against three color counter-top decks, there was more variety and interactive answers to creatures like Vedalkan Shackles, I remember RUG variants with Grim Lavamancer and Punishing Fire to hedge their bets against the threat of aggressive strategies. Pretty sure I dropped a game to a BUG Variety with a Maelstrom Pulse once. The soft lock was still rough, but aggressive and tempo decks had a shot. It didn't feel as busted as it does today. I'd be perfectly happy to see those kind of Counter-Top lists return even if they frequently beat up the Burn and Goblins lists I was running when I first started breaking into the format.

yeah I've wanted to see terminus go away for years. it's retarded to have a wrath at 1 mana. Top is definitely a busted card, but its brainstorm-level busted. terminus does what it does a lot better than brainstorm does what it does.
