As of noon CST, we're currently watching a 10 year-old destroy a budget Burn deck. Both players demonstrating some of the most questionable sequencing (and egregious misplays) I've ever seen, BUT it's a blast to watch.
Yuck that match of Company vs Bant Eldrazi was gross. Now I can see why and how B/W Processor Eldrazi worked so well against this meta, the constant discard, exile, and removal helps against these unfair deck.
I missed it, but I'm curious, what makes this Human company deck unfair? legit question, I'm not up to par on the list, any combos like knightfall, or just lots of going face?
I play against it frequently on MTGO as Ad Nauseam, Cheeri0s, and Gx Tron. I've never been impressed with it; it seems super low-power and just pitches too many non-interactive matchups in Game 1. It might have a solid DS matchup though (can't speak to that), so perhaps it picks up an edge there.
the card itself really isn't worth the card board its printed on...does it serve a purpose? Sure its a blue 1 drop that might not be a 1/1. I would not put it in a list and expect to win a PTQ or GP though.

In addition to the classic Viscera Seer+Anafenza/Vizier of Remedies+Kitchen Finks combo for infinite life (and a guarantee to draw what you want the next turn), it also has Devoted Druid+Anafenza/Vizier of Remedies+Walking Ballista for infinite damage.

Isn't this called "Abzan/Counters Company ? (Also Devoted Druid + Anafenza isn't a combo)
These grindy grixis decks are just dominating Legacy and Modern now. Highly interactive that rewards strong tight play. This is what we wanted right? That said, Mirran Crusader is an amazing card now.

Grixis DS increasingly showing it's the best deck, even if all players don't know that yet.
