I do too but considering how well she's done so far it's a lot harder to care. If they did this and she fell flat on her face then wizards should be getting a lot of flak but so far she's been really good.
Edit: Wait, she writes for TCGplayer? No wonder her face looked familiar.
Yeah, I feel like "well at least she's doing good" is a bad way of approaching this. A lot of players could do well but don't have the time to commit to the grind or just had a bad streak, and decisions to invite "community contributors" marginalizes both the efforts of players who won their spots and the misfortunes of those who were left out.

I have a stupid question. If you have an evolve creature that is currently a 2/2 and you have a forest and a mountain and you play a flinthoof boar, is the +1/+1 something that goes on the stack? I'm just curious how it works, I'm assuming the evolve creature get's the +1/+1 because flinthoof would enter the field as a 3/3, not get the bonus after coming in, right?
The last draft round on the pro tour is finishing up, so Standard will be starting up again soon: http://www.twitch.tv/magicprotour
Yeah, it comes in as a 3/3 so you'll get your evolve. Same thing with stuff that enters with +1/+1 counters on it.

The finthoof boar's power boost is a static effect; it doesn't use the stack.
It enters the battlefield as a 3/3, the evolve trigger on the 2/2 will trigger, and the evolve creature will get a +1/+1 counter.

Damnit, last night someone Act of Treason'd (or a similar effect) my Memnarch and then used his second ability to steal him permanently.
No worries at all
Smart. No reason this wasn't already being done.

By the way, I just destroyed faces all night with a G/R aggro. Madcap Skills and Alpha Authority on Burning Tree is amazing. I need 4 more Ash Zealots though.
YGM one more time, made an updated offer.
Zealots are pretty strong, I am surprised they have not received more love.
I think they said there would be changes to pro points in April
Some dude just conceded game 1 straight away so he can go straight to boarding...

Dual screening with SCG stream and PT stream is giving me a headache I think lol.
It is funny that we were talking about how most SCG people were better but when they are bad they are bad and right now they have one of my least favorite (Adrian Sullivan). I like his entheusiasm but he really does not know what he is talking about most of the time.
And check yo pms WW.

Saito made a deck with it. The rest is history.
I'm kind of confused at what happened in the Shiels-DeTora game. DeTora had an angel, Shiels had spear and mortar. Why couldn't he just nuke the angel when she played it?
EDIT: Nm, I forgot Mortars was a sorcery.

Not as bad as Gonzales almost discarding a searing spear with like 10+ mana up.

If primordial hydra comes out with corpsejack already on the field, does it come out with double counters?
Or do the counters only double each turn afterwards

Fuck yeah, Melissa ended at 3rd place in the swiss. We're all rooting for her here in our home region to take it down.
Edit: and Eric Froehlich top 8'ed as well? Haha wow, this PT couldn't have gone any better for providing proof that the invite system is broken.
That's awesome news. It doesn't entirely fix the problems, but it certainly is a good start.

Amazing...
Yeah I just played a 3 man free for all. Summoned Primordial Hydra with corpsejack out, got 10 counters on him instantly. No one had the ability to get rid of him so the next time my turn rolled around, he got 20 more counters on him and I sacrificed him with Jarad to do 30 damage to both the other players.
This game is wonderful sometimes

Look up a card called Doubling Season. Then cry at the price

Wait, Froelich is a poker player? :lol Wow.
He and Williams got back into the PT system via special invites as they're both WSOP bracelet winners and had prior high MTG finishes. They're both qualified via normal methods now. (I actually went to school with Eric and he was one of the ones who taught me how to play back in 5th grade.)
So I've been working on a reckoner-less naya deck and this is what I've got so far:
Seems pretty solid so far. Trying to find the right mix of removal, what's there is working pretty good though.
Main thing I've learned from this deck is that Ghor-Clan Rampager is the real freaking deal.

Came in to brag about my home brew B/W zombies. Turn on SCG Live. B/W zombies in finals.
Ghost Dad is awesome in this deck.
Ghost Dad is awesome in this deck.
That deck is scary.
I don't understand why he didn't just attack with Ghost Dad when it was just a beast token and a Thragtusk on the field and he had Orzhov Charm in hand. Instead, he Orzhov charm Thragtusk and passed turn. To me attacking with Ghost Dad, you can either get in free dmg if he doesn't block, or opponent double block and in response, cast Orzhov Charm on Thragtusk, getting a two for one, or he just blocks with one creature, if it's Thragtusk, then use Orzhov Charm, if it's the Beast token, you took it out for free.
Am I missing something here?

Nope. Just a bad play, assuming the Naya player was tapped out.

Fuck all the haters. I really want Melissa to take this down.

Hell yeah. Either way she justified her invite.
I'm having a ton of fun putting together a deck for each of the guilds today. The hardest decisions is that Izzet and Azorius wants Snapcaster and Azorius and Selesnya want Restoration Angel. I think Snap belongs more in Azorius and Selesnya needs Resto a bit more. Orzhov was the easiest deck to put together, but I ended up with 4 lingering souls that didn't really have a place. Simic was hard as hell to put together too.

I've said it before: Marshall and Zac is the only official WotC pair that I can stand to listen to.
