Mono red is really rolling the dice with the metagame. I think for a player the caliber of Owen to play that deck is just lazy.
I'm still watching the replay as I slept through most of it being in Australia. When coverage starts around 3am (my bed time) it makes it the worst time to have live games on for me.
What was Brad playing? Standard king. Already platinum I'm pretty sure so this is all just gravy for him, save some pro points for other people bro.
People really exagerated thinking that esper Dragons would dominate.Every week a diferent archtype is dominating so i'm quite amazed at this Standard meta of how volatile it is.
I was kinda surprised by all the different Abzan decks and no Esper Dragons in the top 8 but I guess the Abzan decks shouldn't surprise me. I kinda wanted the Mardu Dragons deck to win so I was kinda disappointed to see him mull so low game 3.
Also kinda sucked that only 1 of my friends made day 2 only to scrub out
let's make a thread about how den protector is unbeatable and will dominate the format for months until next week when we're all freaking out about the infinite tyranny of zurgo bellstriker or whatever the next 15-minute long """"""""top tier"""""""" card is.
The Anger of the Gods Conspiracy
Hey guys I cast den protectors and deathmimst raptors but this new card anger of the gods cheats and makes them not work and thats unfair i want my money back
Fun matches to watch, minus the final (twitch went out, mulling, land screw.. bleh). Was very strange to see these old 'Khans' abzan decks though. Wingmate roc and Sorin? Where have they been!
Also nice to not see esper dragons. It's a really good deck, and can be fun to play (4 turn clock in a control deck, woots!) but its also nice to see people playing out their decks, even if it is den protectors over and over...

Got rolled by some pretty excellent draws by Esper Dragons while on RDW.

I have most of the deck but I haven't wanted to go the whole way and build it.
Same goes for Shenhar for Mono Red. Drown in Sorrow gonna getcha good.
Loving the Grindclock from Huey Jenson.
I really like that card.
Anyone on board to give her the nickname Warrior Mum?
Because she is a warrior with a baby on her
Den Protector is already being referred to as "Maternal Witness."
Dammit!
Well maybe next time.
I'd never heard this, but it's AMAZING.
The deck is still very much relevant.
Now is it dominating? Maybe, maybe not, but people downplaying it's lingering significance are delusional.
