T1 crushing fringe decks, sad times in the kingdom.
Probably won't see anything clownier than that missed Y. Pyromancer trigger -> draw 8 Mountains -> Oracle of Bones...no Tribute...SEARING BLOOD YOUR DESECRATION DEMON (to make a 1/1) showing for awhile.
I want to like Oracle of Bones but without mainboard Toil // Trouble or Catch // Release (or even Warleader's Helix) I'm not seeing it.
I think the name R/W Burn is misleading. A more accurate name would be "not quite R/W Burn", since the version that is currently successful does run a good amount of creatures.
IMO it should be Boros Deck Wins. It's basically red aggro with a white splash and burn finishers. But SCG coverage tends to give things functional "color + simplified role" names
Funnily enough, when Control is the best deck, you never see someone start posting about how 'Wizards hates aggro' and that the game is being ruined. Why is that?
Also good to see that BNG naysayers seriously underestimated the set's potential to change the format.

Starcity always has their ***** together compared to wizards.
Satyr Firedancer ain't good.

None of the 4 R/W Burn decks that made it to the top 16 of SCG Open: Seattle ran Satyr Firedancer. I'm not sure why one would.

Alan Mai played a Sylvan Primordial and targeted a Hallowed Fountain, and David in response tapped it to add one white mana before it got destroyed.
Cash? Credit? Gold? or Jace?
Seems to me that if the BW player had just been a tad more aggressive near the end there, he could've pulled it out.
