Who's attending GP Charlotte? Looks like I'll be on staff for a couple of days.

I will be more than likely.

Deathmist Raptors, Nykthos, Genesis Hydra, etc. all seem to be getting bought out ahead of the Pro Tour. Is G/W Devotion just that good? I do wonder, if it becomes super prevalent whether or not Mastery of the Unseen gets the ban stick or not for being disruptive to tournaments due to the matches taking so long (same reason Second Sunrise was banned).

There is no world where Mastery gets banned in standard.

Agreed. Aggressive G/R monsters style or Jeskai with Mantis Rider are both good at keeping GW Devotion in check. The Esper Con

All G/W Devotion Top 8 at the Pro Tour: THE FIRST TWO WEEK LONG PRO TOUR.

100% of Chromanticore decks at Pro Tour Dragons of Tarkir made day 2.

I tried to start the video at 30:55. It happens by 31:15. Did you see it?

Ya reddit posted it, He picked up his temple of deceit and replays it on his turn. There were at least 2 DQs on day one plus the whole Chapin fiasco.

I hate that shit so much. Aside from the fact that cheating makes you a gigantic faggot, you'd think people would just not do it during a feature match on camera.

That was day 1. Makes you wonder how much having judges eyeballing the game even helps.

Lol, i am terrible. watched it 4 times before giving up on what i was supposed to catch.

what is even the point of doing that? his opponenent was on air, he had a planeswalker, and a 2 dig through times.

Yeah, I read what he did - and went back to watch. Just couldn't catch it on my own. I am just amazed at how often he must cheat to do that while in a dominating position while on camera.

Narset +1 lets you look at the top card of your library and draw it if it's non-creature. The scry gets you a peek to try and guarantee that you hit. His opponent is in top deck mode so I guess he figures it's worth the risk to try and get ahead like that. So ballsy.

I played an Esper list last night. Rebound'ing Dig Through Time isn't exactly Sphinx's Rev for 4, but it does give a close approximation.

Now now, if the commentators caught the cheating then that would be an unfair advantage for non-cheating players whose games are on camera. They need to lose their games to cheaters just like the off-camera players or it isn't fair.

Holy Shit.

Second semi.


1. Strasky plays Dragonlord Atarka.

2. Yasooka plays Dragonlord Simulgar, chooses to take control of Dragonlord Atarka.

3. Strasky burns out Dragonlord Simulgar, taking Dragonlord Atarka back.

4. Yasooka (playing Blue Black control btw) plays a second Dragonlord Simulgar, retaking the Dragonlord Atarka and attacks to close to game out.



Second game of the match Strasky sideboards out the Dragonlord Atarkas.
