First thing that came to mind for the new format was Jeskai Ascendancy, could possibly combine it with the Cat combo and just have a cluster combo deck with 3 mana teferi to help insulate it.

Not even close to as dumb as Oko/Nissa decks everywhere will be. At least with field once they started making 3-6 zombies a turn the game would end pretty quick.

Cruise seems like a probable candidate for banning, although it is a lot weaker without fetches.

immediately banned fetches, nice.

Helps playing against maybe the worst secondary in recent memory.

I mean the meta was dumb, but predicting metas and picking a deck accordingly is a major part of high level events. Nobody is claiming that these aggro decks with little to no removal in them are good intrinsically. I just said that it would be good for this specific tournament.

Fumbles are fun or something.

It was favored against over half the field, pretty sure that's pretty much exactly what you want.

Look at that a Golos vs deck that's good vs golos in the finals. Who predicted that gruul might be well positioned for this event?

I mean generally if you have Cousins in fantasy you just play him and accept that every few games you're going to get a really shit score out of him.

Well this hasn't aged well. Both teams shitting the bed in the 4th.

Dolphins and Bengals both up. Good times.

Fair enough I guess. Still not really sure if the success rate of college dudes coming in is actually significantly worse than other methods of picking coaches. As I said earlier, you're usually changing coaches because your team is shit and that usually means that whoever comes in will have...

Unfortunate that my guys didn't win the series, but it was a good series. 3 run differential over 6 games. A lot of the games were close late, was pretty damn good baseball even if the wrong team won.

Jim Harbaugh?

Could be worse. Could have a Wisconsin or even a Missouri weekend.

Well day 2 was totally separate from day 1 for top 8 so they won't necessarily match up. Like the gruul deck made top 8 but only had 8 wins because he had good breakers on both days.

I mean you say that but they're still winning 3 or 4 more games a season since he got there. And who would the replace him with that would suddenly have them win against top 10 teams?

I mean not all of them, but there's bound to be a bunch due to there being 28 decks and like 12 or 13 of them were field decks and only 1 made top 8.

Would just be a non issue if Field of Ruin had been reprinted. Should probably be in almost every core set. Oko is actually a bigger issue to me than Field.

Only 1 Golos deck in the Top 8. Like a 3 or 4 percent conversion rate. Mono red 100 percent conversion rate.

Maybe he'll suck real bad like Jimmy Johnson or Bill Walsh. I'm not really sure college coaches going to the NFL really are all that much worse than the random retreads and shitass coordinators. It's just that most coaches fail, and the teams that are replacing their coaches are generally the...

Mono Red Cavalcade in the Top 8 now also. Good times.

Vandy wins. Good times.

Pretty nice comeback by Oregon. Missouri down a TD late to Vandy lol.

And Mardu Knights in the top 8.

Nice work Wisconsin.

Bant or whatever ramp decks would still be a deck without oko, but it would mostly kill the food decks.

Embercleave is real strong when most of your creatures are 1 or 2 mana.

Seems unlikely that they'll ban it, even if they probably should.

Can even go more recent with Clint, Unforgiven would be real, real hard to improve.

All the scoring was in the first inning. Just need 2 more!

How does it not just get turned into an elk like all the other big dumb legendary artifacts?

I mean he's been pretty good, but he's not on brees/marino level, he's thrown more than either of them at this point, which isn't really saying that he's a shitter, but context matters.

Yeah, I always liked him back when he played for Miami.

Yeah, maybe he should have had a job back then, but he's been out of the league for awhile now and I don't think it's just something you can just pick back up easily

My first PTQ win was playing U/W Counterpost splashing 3 Stone Rains with a 4th in the sideboard in Ice Age block constructed before the Glaciers ban. Caught a lot of people by surprise and the format was all about Thawing Glaciers and Kjeldoran Outpost. Have played plenty of land destruction...

Components for the raid augs for crafted gear. AAAA is the container used to make the last blood augs.

Fair enough. Autumn is really, really good at this game so this likely isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
