SHOW THE loving BATTLEFIELD, oh my god, come the gently caress on, they loving show only the players from when Muller casts his Harnessed Lightning, and I have no idea what the gently caress happened.

I haven't been able to watch any of it, are the Top 8 decks known already? I'm guessing it was a fairly even split of Marvel/Mardu/Zombies, did UR, GB or the weird UW spirit list make an impact at all? I also tested a bunch of Marvel builds and the Temur Marvel builds and the version with 2 Chandra 2 Bounty of the Luxa was my favorite. Any Cut // Ribbons being played? e: It's only for PC but the Streamlink Twitch GUI app is great if you hate Twitch and its lousy interface and how awful it is in a broswer. It will play twitch through a VLC window.

Jason Chung loses to the Ulamog he forgot to exile with Lost Legacy. It's possible he left it in because he assumed he couldn't hardcast it, though.

Yes there is. Lost Legacy would cause you to draw a card and if you assume it's 100% dead in his hand (having looked at his hand and knowing what is in it), perhaps you'd rather not give him anything.

Even if Fabiano only had 4-5 lands I don't see a time where you would leave it in the hand.

GoutPatrol posted:Even if Fabiano only had 4-5 lands I don't see a time where you would leave it in the hand. If your opponent has land land Ulamog and he has 5 lands in play and you have, for example, a Zombie token and a Mastery (e.g. not an overwhelming boardstate, but still a clock), I could see it being a very viable strategic choice. If your opponent draws nothing highly relevant immediately you just win, unless you draw nothing and he draws a bunch of action. Ulamog isn't actually that good in a deck where you have to hardcast it and it isn't built to hardcast it. Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 02:40 on May 14, 2017 |

Mardu was always medium-to-bad against everything that wasn't Saheeli. I'm not sure why someone would pick a deck that has no positive matchups as their deck to play at the pro tour though.

Top 8 with 8 relentless dead, 0 main deck Gideon, what has the world come to. (of course, 4 copies snuck into a sideboard, it's not quite the apocalypse)

Mardu is still putting up 5-0s on MTGO. I don't think it's bad, just likely what wasn't played by the top teams. I don't think there is an obvious best deck which is good, the cat ban gave a pretty wide open format.

In my experience, Gearhulk decks can't always quickly close out the game before you hard cast the Ulamog, assuming they keep you off Marvel. U/R is great vs GB and Mardu, but only medium vs Marvel, and really struggles vs all flavors of zombie due to their fast clock and recursive threats. Chandra, Flamecaller as a 4 of is spicy AF, good for whoever brewed that one up. It just had a huge spike on MTGO if anyone still has their copies, sell em before anyone is certain how good they are while they're in demand. e: Looks like the only G/B player and two of the Marvel players were the only 6-0 players in draft to make the top 8, Yukuhiro, Froehlich and Tobiasch. The number one seed has 4 Wayward Servant and 0 Relentless Dead, which doesn't surprise me one bit. Also 0 of the Dispossess/Lost Legacy nonsense and the full 4 Transgress, which again doesn't surprise me. All the threat light Marvel decks board into Tireless Tracker anyway, if a card like that is ever good, it's against a real combo deck like New Perspectives.
