Very likely but not guaranteed.

He got paired down so if he loses it's technically possible he could miss, lol.

More comments on the SOI leaks:
* I think with the investigate mechanic, they're going to bring in Sherlock Holmes style detective stories in addition to Lovecraftian stuff. I guess the Lovecraftian stuff won't be that played up until the second set, though. Unfortunately, I think Jace will play the role of Holmes, so we may not get a legendary creature for that character type. He will be investigating the weird stuff happening, coming across clues, until he discovers Eldrazi involvement.
* Emrakul itself may not appear in this block, but Nahiri is her thrall.
* Investigate will probably be W/U only, madness will probably be B/R.

It's nearing $50. What more do you want? :lol

I mean, it's the perfect storm. I kinda figured that with Twin gone we'd see a surge in linear aggro, but didn't expect that the best version of that kind of deck would pop up at the same time.

He actually lost despite having Chalice on 0 and 2

I agree Emrakul won't actually appear in the block, there'll be a bunch of horrors and stuff that are the effect of her presence but she'll bounce to another plane at the end of the second set. When they actually defeat Emrakul it will almost certainly be in another set where they can do the full eldrazi thing, show off a mechanic for Emrakul's brood, etc.
I think even if they're doing "Jace follows the clues" there'll be someone local that they'll team him up with, since if that's a theme in this set it's too good an archetype to skip out on.
He was a lock with a draw and if he hadn't been paired down his opponent would have definitely drawn with him.
I'd rather play the deck than sell it, but everything I've seen from Wizard's handling of modern suggests that it will be banned, and as this is sort of the peak of modern before the next ban wave, I assume I should sell now.
I dont know shit, but couldnt you sell them as insurance and buy them later if they dont happen to get banned,

Is there another round left?
yup, one more
Yes. He has to hope he doesn't get paired down again.

ID still gets him in?
Yes, but he can't ID against someone 11-4.

Despite how garbage Modern is, this pro tour is pretty entertaining.

Couldn't affinity technically play or at least sideboard ensnaring bridge?
They can instant equip cranial plating and attack with a 1/1 ravaged, etc.

It's not a great idea. So many ways to go horribly wrong.

That would be hilarious. Ornithopter, instant Plating, get rekt. Not sure if it'd actually be any good tho.
You aren't guaranteed to get BB- you only have 12 Black sources in the deck.

It'd be more hilarious for Lantern to sideboard in Noble Hierarchs and Cranial Platings.

But it'd shut down the Eldrazi matchups if it doesn't get thought knotted.
Obviously would have to work on the mana.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Frank lost again.
I think every PT has that guy who goes 11-0 and then scrubs out in the end.

It's not like Eldrazi is the worst matchup in the world for Affinity.

If he loses someone might have to watch him for a day or two.

They want to knock him out and possibly get a team mate in. It's a good strategy actually.

I think he'll get a top 16 anyways and he gets an invite to the next PT anyways.
