Want to discuss how well you're doing at GP: DC? Want to complain about losing a close game 3 due to a mana flood at the GP? Want to discuss the top 8 results (when they're up)?
Please post all general discussion about GP: DC here.
Vengevine Naya is going to turn a lot of heads today. It's been the biggest "under the radar" deck since NQs, and GerryT endorsed it with his decklist on SCG.
I'll go ahead and predict two or three Vengevine decks make it to top eight, followed by the usual mix of UWr, Jund, and Mythic.

I will predict that a single vengevine won't be on any top 8 list.
I agree, I think people are (wishing) this card would become popular, but it just is not consistant enough with most decks that try to use it. You may see a single deck in the top 8 running it, but that is a long shot.
Really interesting round 3, Devastating Red v. RB w/ Persecutor. RB deck came out on top on the back of vampire nighthawk getting passed manabarbs. Curious how that deck will do as the day goes on.

Manabarbs was a nasty card, but G3 it just backfired on him due to the Nighthawk being played. By the time he could kill it, Adam had turned the tide.
I can't seem to find this anywhere, and ggslive is being rather flaky at the moment. Where are we in the tourney/whose decks are winning? Is this Top 8? All I could see was a little bit of B/R vs RDW.

The standings haven't really shook out yet. Round three is just coming to an end. Not sure who is 3-0 so far, but I wouldn't put too much stock into it just yet.

I believe you're correct in that, I wasn't trying to imply he was getting lucky or playing easy matchups, I was just saying that last game was practically a solo game.
Not to discredit either Gerry or the deck (I expect it to do quite well), but that 4-0 would include however many byes he has for a Grand Prix correct? What level is Gerry?
granted he did just play against time sieve and that basically put up no fight at all against him.
That was terrible. Why he didn't play Tezzeret and tutor is beyond me. I cannot figure out why he did that when he was so close to getting everything lined up.

It was pretty rough for real, a lot of play errors made. The Naya deck can explode pretty fast, but still, he had that g2 and totally messed it up.
On a side note, word on the ggslive stream is that chapin and company are there with some kinda U/G deck with jace, sea gate oracle, and vengevine? Any ideas what's going on there?

Haven't heard anything about UG or Chapin's brew, but Wafo is apparently playing UWg control with the stock UW shell and Awakening Zones.

Sea Gate Oracle? ... That's awesome. Gah, I hope that deck does well. Even though the Jace/Vengevine part means I'll never be able to play it, heh.

my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan

Seagate Oracle replaced Divination in all my pre-Eldrazi decks. That may not be saying much, but I do think he's the best 3 mana draw spell that we have right now.

I believe he's 4-0. I'm not positive, though.
