Ok, you're right.
It's better to lead with SS versus a crypt instead of FR because no matter what the crypt is coming back into play. The doubling up on the sunrise effect is solely to not lose eggs, and leading with SS will net you more card draw.
This was not clear to me in the text.

b) Tormod’s Crypt, Nihil Spellbomb
Double up on Sunrises. If possible, cast Faith’s Reward second as it will not return these rocks to your opponent’s side.
Bounce spells beat these if you’re going to cast Faith’s Reward instead of Second Sunrise. Otherwise, your opponent will sacrifice them and have them return when you cast Second Sunrise.
Wipe Away prevents your opponent from sacrificing them in response.
Casting Faith's Reward 2nd, chronologically, is a mistake because if you cast Sunrise first followed by opponent cracking crypt, followed by you casting Reward, then in reverse resolution order (the stack):
Reward resolves
Eggs come back
Crypt Exiles Reward
Optionally crack eggs again
Sunrise Resolves
Eggs come back again, but so do opponents ROCKS.
Word this to say, "Lead with Faith's Reward when you can double up on your sunrise-effect."

twin, faeries, blue zoo, and I think jund were the 5-0s who drew in.
Looks like the above but with Faithless Looting and a gifts unburial option in the SB in addition to twin/exarch.

Each of the 3 Competitive Seasons feeds a PT right? But within that season there is actually a PT! Us grinders will not have access to it (unless we Q'd last season) so the PT multiplier will be in effect for the Pros at that PT! Sucks, because that's a potentially large field of people gaining Points while you can't!
Hmm, 8 GPs per season in the United States. Maybe 1 or 2 PTQs per season locally. Plus 12 or so FNMs (at 30 or so points a piece).
Lot of pros on twitter are complaining about the Pro Tour Reward program and wondering how they'll stay on the train. If it's completely off of PWP then: HAHA .... EVERYONE MUST GRIND.
There's an appeals button at the bottom of the PWP page that lets you flag a tourney as 'WRONG MULTIPLIER APPLIED' just jot down the date and the sanctioning number.
No, a couple of the Opens are listed at 3x 5x multipliers. It looks like some of them (since they are 1x) were not upgraded to WPN status or something when the tournament organizer submitted via the DCI reporter or something. I'm guessing it's the TCGPLayer Opens right when they started cropping up.
The more players that play on a given FNM increases the multiplier, too.
SCG L.A. 2011 3x
TCG PLayer (?) 3-21-2010 Los Angeles 2010 1x
oops?
4 Mana Tithe
4 Spell Pierce
3 Spell Snare
to stop 12 Post ramp spells and early Zoo aggro threats. I really want to have options on turn 1 on the play and draw. I think thoughtseize and Tithe are better then Tithe and pierce though. And spell snare isn't impressing me.
Path is good against Aggro and versus a Resolved Titan but i really want to stop an eye of ugin more consistently than just 4 ghost quarters and draw spells to get them. What is Teachings-able instant speed answer to a top decked P Titan/Eye of Ugin?
Edit: Answer?Shifting Borders
If you draw two of the same combo piece, try to get up to 8 cards in hand and then discard it, right?
play 4 nodes since we cant tutor for it in Modern. play wrath. profit?????
