Holy poo poo somehow I had ~350 people watching me stream today despite competing directly with the PTQ livestream. Probably because all the pros were there or something so I was the only decent MTGO stream??? Or do people just REALLY want to see Sultai deck brews in standard?

In more relevant news, Sultai is definitely going to be a thing in standard. There are just too many good ways you can build those colors right now. I haven't even TRIED treasure cruise in these shells and I am building a completely enormous yard every game with no real effort.

I'm guessing they wanted to watch Magic while nothing was happening on stream.

Edit: so who's going back through the thread to find quotes about the viability of the Ascendency combo in standard?

NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.
Trip report: Goblin Grenade is awesome, Pauper Goblins otherwise is an awful deck that dies to flood way too easily. If Hymn and Sinkhole weren't so backbreaking I'd just stick with Burn. Also thank god Strip Mine (and Mishra's Factory) aren't legal. Not sure exactly what cards are bugged now, other than Hymn/Sinkhole/High Tide/Merchant Scroll/Grenade are legal in online Pauper.

This Standard format looks boring as hell, but the draft format looks like the most fun to spectate since...maybe before Innistrad. Good stuff. That Wescoe match was great.

What's the purpose of Dig Through Time-ing in response to a Thoughtseize effect from Mardu Charm? Why not just let it resolve first?

Because it can't take creatures or lands.

Dig for 2 creatures and your opponent can get hosed.

I'd like to take a moment and complain that this is basically the only PT since DKA where I wasn't able to start at the beginning in the "Past Broadcasts" and catch up, skipping the the boring parts. :(

As of now, there's only 90 minutes of video there of the 6 hours since they started

Was it? I just don't really think of the card when I think of "enchantment removal", I guess.

So far no major movement on the Doomwake Giant (up ~50 cents) or the Necropolis Fiend (still less than a dollar) fronts but Dig through Time has spiked up to $6-8 from the $2-3 it was about a week ago.

C'mon Pro's make some of these middling cards I have worth something.

E: Has Wingmate Roc shown any amount of worth yet? Why is it still at $15? It's like everyone in the world got Empty the Pit's and Wingmate Roc's prices mixed up or something.

True, it's probably a 2-of at best. It was $2-3 when I got some 2 weeks ago and it's still only at 5.

There was a sweet BUG control decklist Karsten Cotter posted that had just 4 Emtpy The Pits as the win condition. I think technically it had 4 Satyr Wayfinders/4 Caryatids/4 Courser, but those nerds aren't going to get there.

All these villainous wealth brews could probably win more I if they just swapped all the wealths out for pits. I think it might shape up to be a completely legit wincon for control decks.
