With all due respect, wasn't that only a 19 player event? That is, IIRC, only 4 rounds? How next-level is your list if you can sweep 4 rounds? There are so many variable archetypes in modern right now, and a decent portion of the metagame has our deck at 45/55 or worse. What match-ups did you play? What decks did you face? How did you sideboard? These are relevant questions when gloating the self-proclaimed godliness of your deck list. All things considered, this result is not even as impressive as a 5-0 competitive league on MTGO.
Also, your article has literally one comment so I don't think "a ton of media attention" is warranted just yet
It was 5, and there were respectable Modern players at the event from the Calgary area. I've been asked to jump on podcasts, write more articles, jump on playtesting teams. I can also view how many hits the article has had, and my personal inbox on Facebook was contacted more than the article itself.
I've also top 8'd multiple 50 man pptq's, so I understand your criticism. I consistently competed and qualified for Nationals when ELO was the system used, and have been on the PT. The 15-0 on MTGO might be more impressive to you, but the article itself is my opinion, whether you agree or not you are free to discuss
In the process of writing an article, so I won't spoil details about much, I believe the decks will be posted on MTGTop8 soon and be looking forward to giving those tips in the very near future.
