The Hypergenesis sideboard seems bad. Beside only having one Ingot Chewer he run 6 creatures in Meddling Mage and Vexing Shusher that have a CC below three, a big no-no in that deck.
No, too much work/money. They don't even give you a write up for every round anymore, and we only got 1 draft viewer the entire PT.
And those "podcast" match coverage was the worst thing I ever heard. I made it 2 minutes. One of the most boring things ever is listening to a play by play of a Magic game. When it's streaming video it's much easier to visualize board position, while an article can summarize it much better and more quickly.
I like the podcast match coverage. It's not as good as video coverage but it was interesting. The real problem with it is the tape delay problem. Once I know the results my caring goes down a lot. But there's SO MUCH Wizards could do to make the coverage better. As someone who loves to follow online it is disappointing they never actually make it any better.
Paulo's decklist isn't any different from LSV's. they are in the same deckbuilding, playtesting group.
If you watch the video on lsv's deck tech, then you will know what it looks like.
but anyway, some decklists were posted on the day 1 column not too long ago.
EDIT: top 8 decklist is up. glimpse the unthinkable. when i see that card, i roflmao. a bad card like this has became tournament playable is astounding.
Glimpse is a very sick card in dredge because it has apretty good chance of hitting Golgari Grave-Troll, Bridge From Below or Dread Return. Laugh at the card if you want but what makes dredge good is that it uses jank cards. By themselves the cards are bad but when you combine them together it's very powerful. I could easily see dredge running One With Nothing as well which is another jank card.

Understand, Dredge is not really a Magic: The Gathering deck. When a card is playable in it, it doesn't mean it's a tournament playable card. It means it's playable in whatever crazy fantasy world that Dredge operates in.

I am so tempted to sig this. Best explanation of dredge ever.

Does any one know if nassif or chapin will be posting their list any time soon, I think with as much zoo and dredge is in the t8 I could tune it to beat them both. Gotta love gifts based control.

It's not zoo....It's Big Naya or punishing fire control 2 different decks in playstyle.
How the hell is a deck that runs Nacatl, Noble Hierarch, 10 burn spells, Goyf, and Knight of the Reliquary control? Because it ramps into Baneslayer? It's a straight up aggro deck, except he's got amazing long game with Baneslayer and Punishing Fire.
It's the logical evolution of the Ranger and Knight Zoos from the end of last extended season, eschewing the smaller drops for bigger drops that can't be easily killed by Engineered Explosives, and laying threats that must be answered, especially in the mirror (Knight, Goyf, and BSA). Plus it can just beat the mirror with Punishing Fire all their creatures.

If he had 3 mana he would much rather cascade.
How would he cast it?
EDIT: Nath'd
Which you would use to cascade instead of playing mortify.
Yeah, this is why blue based control doesn't tap out during it's turn even if your not palming a counter echoing truth (ect) work to get rid of it.
