They said 2 spots and 1 was yuuya and since I'm casting to the TV I'm behind on stream so since you "spoiled" one that excluded Owen.

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing what everyone has come up with.

When I go to Honolulu I have a feeling it's going to be like the fake fruit scene in The Interview. I'll get a glimpse of the nice, ready for presentation areas like the commentator booths and feature match areas before I go to the regular shitty seating with the other mediocre players.

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

This "1 Match Left" in the top left has me worried that something has fucked up behind the scenes and we are way more than 10-12 mins left...

NM pairings posted.
50 mins... annnd nm again.

 

[Ashodin]

No CoCO in the first match, lol

 

["God's Beard!"]

Oh my god Owen is playing Grafstone I love it already.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Temur Emerge? Interesting.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Temur Emerge? Interesting.

Using 12 Grisly Salvages to mill over Kozilek's Return makes a lot of sense.

hahaaha I was like what

 

[charlequin]

[Ashodin]

["God's Beard!"]

The Half-Vegeta

 

[charlequin]

man i really didn't think emrakul was gonna fuck shit up during the very first game of constructed.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Interesting that the turns leading up to Emrakul can result in you using destruction spells on your own creatures, to give your opponent less options.

 

[Ashodin]

man i really didn't think emrakul was gonna fuck shit up during the very first game of constructed.

Dem hidden PT decks

ANOTHER deck runing Emrakul? wat!

 

[OnPoint]

Love that Emrakul is immediately out there and making waves.

Still can't believe how useless Kozilek ended up being

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Now it'll show how many decks tech into infinite obliteration.

Oh coax nice anti tech

 

["God's Beard!"]

This is basically the all-in grisly salvage deck I tried to make with just SOI cards but the kozilek's return tech is pretty cool.

Love that Emrakul is immediately out there and making waves.

Kozilek is the best EDH general though

 

[SigmasonicX]

Reflector Mage... but also Reality Smasher and Drowner of Hope?

 

[Ashodin]

holy shit using Emrakul for emerge

 

["God's Beard!"]

Brad Nelson sacking Emrakul to pay emerge is the best thing I've seen today.

 

[charlequin]

Now I'm really curious what the actual Bant Coco prevalence turns out to be.

 

[OnPoint]

I wonder if there's a deck that can be built using eldrazi that make tokens, the emerge swine and Westvale Abbey.

 

[charlequin]

yes so amazing

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

Now I'm really curious what the actual Bant Coco prevalence turns out to be.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's only 1 or 2 in the feature match area just to mask it a bit. But really, who knows just yet.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Well you just got your answer.

 

[Schryver]

Coax From the Blind Eternities?! This is amazing

 

[Ashodin]

Coax as tech vs. Infinite Oblit, sheeeit

 

["God's Beard!"]

Round 1 and this is already the most surprising Pro Tour of the past year.

 

[Ashodin]

wow To the Slaughter too!? the fuck

 

["God's Beard!"]

wow To the Slaughter too!? the fuck

I actually have that in my current GB list. It's pretty good.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";212507652]Well you just got your answer.[/QUOTE]

I've actually never played against a blue emrakul ramp deck. Could be that they went into blue specifically to have access to the card.


Also finally someone cast to the slaughter, that card is so good if you get delirium fast. Of course against decks that aren't too creature heavy.

 

[SigmasonicX]

wow To the Slaughter too!? the fuck

And it hit both Planeswalker Jace and Baby Jace.

 

[Ashodin]

gather the bricks

 

["God's Beard!"]

gather the bricks

Crazier that he ran out of forests so fast.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Good thing I have my playset of deep fried already thanks Grimace or Kirblar

 

[SigmasonicX]

Hardcast Elder Deep-Fiend

EDIT: Or wait, I guess he just emerged all three of the ones in his hand.

 

[OnPoint]

Hardcast Elder Deep-Fiend

Three of them.

That card due for a jump?

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Voldaren Pariah!!! The fuck.

Hardcast Elder Deep-Fiend

EDIT: Or wait, I guess he just emerged all three of the ones in his hand.

no he hard cast all of them far as I can tell, he didn't have any creatures to sac to them.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Brad Nelson went 3-0 in his draft? Dude is gonna top 8 for sure.

 

[Crocodile]

Back to back to back Elder Deep-Fiend was just brutal LOL

 

[SigmasonicX]

Voldaren Pariah!!! The fuck.



no he hard cast all of them far as I can tell, he didn't have any creatures to sac to them.

That's what I thought, but I got confused because all three came out so quickly.

 

[Ashodin]

LSV is 4-0 fuuuuck

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I have 3 Kozilek's return please bump.

That's what I thought, but I got confused because all three came out so quickly.

he timewalked him by tapping all black sources, GB is rather B tilted.

 

[charlequin]

The decks we're seeing so far are such a bizarre list. Temur Emerge? Jund Delirium? Blue/black Madness? Bant Eldrazi Rites? Wtf fam.

fake-edit: oh wow I didn't realize the Kozilek's Return immune to Spell Queller tech.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Collected Company and Eldrazi and Cryptolith Rites?!

 

[Ashodin]

Collected Company and Eldrazi and Cryptolith Rites?!

Spell Queller useless!?

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Mono W humans is gonna prey on some of these decks teching against Bant Coco
