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.

MiddleEastBeast posted:I totally missed it, what was the play that put Lee in top 8? On the final turn before he dies to attackers (at one life, turning off any fetches or Mana Confluence), he top decks a Jeskai Ascendancy, then draws into that discard 1, draw 2 red spell, that draws into a Dig Through Time, that draws into the win.

BXCX posted:That's a lovely Xenagod you've got going over there, it would be a shame if you didn't trade it for this sweet Singing Bell Strike though In seriousness that deck has been really pissing me off. I can never close the door with it. I've been trying the Soul Blade version but that hasn't really gone well either. I'm probably just bad.

A big flaming stink posted:Combine that with Humphries "amazing" showing at the open where he won both the standard open and modern premier, does this mean we have ought to be suspicious of anyone that does extraordinarily well? A friend and I were talking about this last weekend. With two pretty high-profile players getting caught doing basically the exact same cheat, it makes one wonder how widespread it is. Someone else brought it up a few posts above, but it would be interesting to see if there are any players that are Top 16'ing tournament after tournament. That exceeds the 60-65% win rate of matches you would expect from the very best players. This is purely anecdotal, but you pretty often at the open series see guys that show up often enough (Reid Duke, BBD, Todd Anderson) scrub out pretty often. I'd be interested to see the final finishes of the guys that grind that series but aren't really good enough to hack it on the pro circuit.

I, like you, am insufferably autistic. A side effect of this condition is that I watch a lot of Opens on stream. He's been a pretty regular fixture on that circuit for a while. That's why there was a fair amount of video evidence people could just go back and find.

Niton posted:I would be beyond amazed if Reid Duke was cheating in any capacity, not because he's a standup guy (though he certainly is), but because he rose to prominence through Magic Online, where it's a good deal harder to pull off sleight of hand I agree. He, and the other ones listed, seem (disclaimer: have not actually checked his finishes) to have finishes more consistent with what a pro players win rate would be.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:The only decks I've seen use this are Rest in Pieces and Enchantress. There's a modern version (it doesn't have the draw engine, it's really more like Stax) that you could maindeck RIP if you wanted. That deck is actually pretty good in a meta without a lot of tron and UWR control

For D&T players: How big a deal is being able to Vial stuff in in the matchups that you want that hate bear? Flickerwisp has some obvious applications but I don't know important it is if you have access to that guy.

He's running Fleecemanes maindeck, list is more or less this http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/249779#online minus the Hornet Queen and with a third Wingmate Roc. Here's a tip for playing Abzan Midrange: just throw your cards down on the table and roll your face across your deck and playmat like a loving animal. just have someone count out how much mana you can have each turn and then play the card with that CMC

Deckchat: Standard: Nothing, but I might put that Jeskai Ascendancy Heroic deck together because it looks silly. Modern: Scapeshift and U/W Prison. Please U/W Prison online right now, it owns bones. Legacy: Dredge, Sneak and Show, and Solidarity. Vintage: Dredge, because it is all I can afford in that format

I Love You! posted:I feel like I cheated since I basically got 2 shots at the top 8 AND this was my first ever PTQ event (or even ptq qualifier). On top of that the deck i put together in the redraft was completely loving ridiculous (seriously, check this thing out http://www.twitch.tv/tedsternator/b/587115097 ). This is a cool and good watch because I am not very good at limited and it was interesting hearing you pick up on "tells" from what is getting passed to you which you obviously read correctly given how ridiculous that deck was.
