That Lands vs Enchantress match-up wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be. Apparently Enchantress has no answer for 20/20 flying indestructible creatures.
Elephant Grass and Oblivion Ring can stop them for a while thanks to Marit Lage being a black creature. I guess the problem comes when Lands can just keep making 20/20s if Enchantress doesn't have Rest in Peace or something.

It's nice when you're watching a match up you haven't played yourself, and the person on camera is the community's expert who wrote the primer So, what to expect post-board from Jeremiah Rudolph's Turbo Eldrazi against Death & Taxes:
This is a taxing control deck so treat it as such. Show & Tell Titan often blows them out, and you very rarely get to Eldrazi-casting mana levels. Titan is your plan 90% of the time. Never ever ever keep low mana hands against these guys. A 7 land hand is a snap-keep hand against anything taxing. Needle naming usually go in this order: AEther Vial, Wasteland, Rishadan Port. If Mangara is lingering about you name it of course, and the same for unequipped equipment. There are only two real threats in the deck, Aven Mindcensor and Cataclysm. You can be prepared for both by siding in Force of will or Swan Song.

That quote is hilarious because he kept a low mana hand and then got blown out.
I love to watch Feline Longmore play High Tide. She is so fast and knows here deck so well. If everyone played like this we would never go to time
I'll give Feline due respect for her ability to play the deck, but High Tide is a deck that needs to die a horrible death and rot in hell. It's obnoxious, boring, and easily causes matches to go to time.

I love the interaction that the players have done with the camera today! It's hilarious to see Feline showing her ponder to the stream and Ross showing his "Are you not entertained?" poster.
Holy smokes! DnT takes it as an underdog vs Elves. This also stops the Elves pilot as being only the second player to win both Standard and Legacy tourneys during the same weekend.
Shiels had some pretty damn good luck on his side to take this down.
i would actually says it's Merrim's fault for not mulliganing away that Progenitus. I've seen elves win off of 5 cards before. Then again, those hate bears really got him too.

Seeing this Goblins vs Deathblade matchup really shows the reality of power creep. UWx decks have historically had trouble with Goblins, but the printings of Stonforge Mystic, Batterskull, Snapcaster Mage, Deathrite Shaman, and True-Name Nemesis have really turned things around.

Want to be a better Magic player? Read the rulings forum and check out the comprehensive rules!
And in that time, Goblins' best additions have been Krenko and a card that isn't even a Goblin. Kind of sad, really.
I thought Solitary Confinement should be able to keep Marit Lage in check, too. ...Sphere of Safety does a better job of stopping Marit Lage than Moat does, too. Late-game, Sigil of the Empty Throne should be able to keep Marit Lage at bay.
...screw Engineered Explosives, Oblivion Stone, and Krosan Grip.
