I am entirely aware. I just thought it was hilarious that someone tried selling us the most obvious fake possible.

He said it was going for a hundred online

...the person who says honestly that he despairs is closer to being cured than all those who are not regarded as despairing by themselves or others.

At a first glance, 15/24 decks are running Smuggler's Copter and 14 of those are running 4. That's pretty good.

Most of those decks look like they get a bye if they play against Aetherworks. I think that deck is a good metagame choice in a field full of aggro, but not when there are blue decks. That said, I'm keeping it together because I don't play in many tournaments and it's super fun to play casually! The one Aetherworks deck in this bracket has other avenues to win other than a turn four Emrakul.

Took spirits to the modern 3K, went 5-3 and cost myself two matches through misplays because I had two hours of practice with the deck. A+ would recommend. Tournament report up later.

There are some Humans builds in Modern that play it. Typically the Boros or Mono White types. 5 Color Humans doesnt have room for it.

The best thing about that trophy is the close up shot Ari Lax posted of the name badges. They aren't even spaced neatly.

He was trying to get someone to concede so someone (him maybe?) could make top 8 from what I heard. He asked them if they would like to concede, then later on like 5 turns on asked if he was sure he didnt want to split.

They just treated a 8 power attack like a 9 power attack on coverage and no one was corrected.
