Sorry I went to school for broadcast journalism and focused on production, this is all loving amateur hour bullshit.

I also lol'd at GP Vancouver last year when I saw the tiny tricaster setup they had for coverage.

Wizards please hire me, I will do a better job than the (what I can only assume are) first year community college students you have working for you.

I work in broadcast, the running joke is that you do this as a hobby and have a second job to support it.

Which is why I'm a full time producer and on-air radio DJ, as well as a full time server.


Working in a restaurant pays better, but my career has intrinsic benefits like health insurance, weekly scotch tastings, weekly massages, and press passes into all the shows.

So as a compromise, I just work full time at both jobs :v:

Holy poo poo those 2 judge call against Finland, seems the judges want the Dominican Republic to win.

5-2 after day 1 and 10th though :finland:

Looks like they changed how day 2 works for this year. Still gonna be pool play, but no points + stupid tiebreakers from the day 1 ranking anymore. Eight six team pools, where first the four bottom teams play 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5 single elimination match. Then the remaining four teams in the pool play double elimination. Two match losses and you're out. At the round of 16 similar double elimination in four four team pools for the top 8.

Just re-watching coverage, for Unified Modern it sounds like they said that the US Team built their modern decks around letting Kevin Jones play Grixis Delver. He is really good with the deck, but drat... Then again, Owen on Infect and him Grixis Delver is a pretty good basis for a modern squad with pretty much zero overlapping cards outside of maybe dredge hate?

If I knew how to play Delver as good as he did, I understand it. That last match against Jund was amazing.

I loved his post win interviews for the SCG events - I think it was something like "everyone on my team says it is a bad deck, but I like it, know how to play it, and keep winning with it"

Is there a reason Kaladesh 8-4 drafts aren't available on MTGO?

I just realized that Silumgar's Assassin can kill both versions of Silumgar.

This amuses me, because I've been watching way too many theory videos on youtube and now I'm thinking this is a story seed for the next Tarkir expansion. It almost certainly isn't.

Harnessed Lightning or Servant are close and probably come down to preference. Honourable mention Renegade Freighter.

I'd probably take the Freighter since it's one of the best threats in the format and doesn't commit you to a second color, and there aren't any playable white cards even if you were trying to signal.


EDIT: Freighter is also insane with the Built to Lasts that are in colors and you can probably pick up.
