I like the CFB stream though. The commentary is really great, as an intermediate player, I learn a lot from LSV as opposed to the normal Wizards commentary where the commentator doesn't even know the cards being played.
But maybe they put the cap higher than they could actually handle? Or it's maybe just the software fucking up randomly, maybe has nothing to do with the amount of players.

Isn't it well known that Wizards Event Reporter is a huge piece of shit software?

I did laff a little bit though when Gaby was like "She fetches a forest" after a Plains was clearly put into play, or when she and Luis were like "We can confirm now that the Phyrexian Revoker did target Bird of Paradise" right as a judge was laying down a marker that said "Viscera Seer".

Mill deck best deck
Not sure if I agree with the Extirpate vs. Surgical though.

Trap+Extirpating out the money spells.
Also looking at the list it looks like they have 3 Bridges maindeck, so if you drop one of those they have to kill you with Hierarch beats.

The hope has to be that appointing a new CEO means Hasbro is willing to see some things change, because someone competent with Cocks' background is going to look at this and almost immediately peg "fire the technical staff and hire new people at market rates" as the correct response to these issues. I think literally everything outside the technical team is functional (R&D, creative, marketing) or fixable (judging, OP) but every technical team just needs to be gutted.
This is a new, different huge piece of shit software!

BTW, on the subject of digital stuff, I just noticed that Dan Emmons, previously considered one of the best up-and-coming designers at WotC, is now working on Hearthstone. He quit WotC a couple years ago and cited bad digital/social policy (e.g. not being allowed to stream games while an employee) as one of the big factors.

That is a new kind of low for Magic's digital arm. It's so bad that it's kind of impressive.
I like SCG's streams too, but they aren't doing one right now so I'll gladly take the CFB.

Man the jund player made me cring in round 8 yesterday. Why didn't he take the trade with the viscera seer and bob, why did he play goyf over scooze, he really was just asking for it.

That UB Mill deck is sweet, hope to see more of it today.
Oh man, good for him. I remember when he left WOTC and started doing his own thing, but I hadn't realized he moved over to Hearthstone. It's still funny to me to see him doing this given that we graduated from college together with him in electrical engineering.
:lol :lol :lol
Yeah we know our software is shit, but at least we tweeted about it. Sorry guys!
This is amazing! Poor Lossett that first game. lol
I don't know, it seemed pretty fast. It has ensnaring bridges for the decks that primarily deal combat damage. I don't think it went 8-0-1 without ever playing burn, affinity or infect.

Well it just lost to Jund, we'll see how long it survives in day two.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Remember when I drafted that 5C Slivers deck? My opponent was that guy. He randomly mentioned his MOCS win during the conversation about my "awesome" deck.

Breaking out of the color pie has its price.
Yeah he was always a bit stuck up. I always beat him with my Grixis tier 2 decks. My friend sometimes uses my other friend's account who has won a national championship and uses this fact to rile other people up when they complain about his luck. Sometimes it's fun to troll people. :lol

It also comes into play untapped and dodges Choke. So that's cool.

Running a poll "Is the guy on Lava Spike casting a spell or getting spiked?", and then bringing Mark Tedin in to answer the question
This whole GP broadcast has been the best non-PT magic broadcast I can remember- 2 distinct commentary teams (LSV and Gabby and Mashall and Huey) that each have a high level pro to provide color, constant recording of matches so they can show multiple full matches each round, prepared short time fillers like Keep or Mull and these Fact or Fiction polls, images of each deck they show on stream, and almost no dead air. This is what everyone should strive for.

Agreed the absence of dead air is astonishing. Even SCG has long stretches of rebroadcasts. Gaby is great in commentary as well even though she says dumb stuff at times. I'd argue it's better than the PTs I watched so far. The viewership also seems to back it up 16k.
Modern could do w/o choke. Blood Moon is needed imo but choke just one sidedly hoses a single colour.

I remember being really surprised when I took a close look at the Lava Spike card art and realized that the attack was coming from a small thing in the background, not the man.
