Two similar control decks ("Teferi's Last Stand") could conceivably make it to the top table. Chances are not good for it, but I personally would enjoy it over the creature features littering the rest of the field.

I hope they have good coverage of Brad vs Kai. Sounds pretty epic right there :P
Well, they're going to start with that match.. no doubt about it.
When Finkel did his big comeback we didn't miss a second, I hope they'll do same with Budde.

How were the Limited and Constructed results pooled? It seems to me that it was the draft performance what gave those players a top8 spot with the actual Extended results being somewhat irrelevant, which is quite disappointing.
If Limited gets in the way of printing good Constructed cards...
Screw limited

The results are pooled like in any swiss event (3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss). There were 6 rounds of draft and 10 rounds of extended. Nobody in the top 8 lost more then two rounds of constructed. You had to not be terrible at draft to top 8, but the 10 rounds of constructed weren't in any way irrelevant.

There were MORE rounds of Constructed than Limited, so quite the opposite is true: the Constructed portion mattered more than the Limited portion.

In fact, Kai went 3-3 in Draft and 9-1 in Extended. So, Extended ended up being super-relavent for him.

Hi all.
My name is David Lyford-Smith, and I'm the judge that'll be running the push tool today.
This means that the little card window that appears on the coverage button, as well as the match scores, will be determined by my hand today!
I'll also be keeping an eye on the forum for today's power-packed Top 8, so let me know what you are thinking and what you are seeing.
The best way to get through to the commentary team is by hitting up their Twitter, and tagging your post #ptams is the way to get it picked up.
Looking forward to it!
P.S.: Don't forget that we have some awesome Scars of Mirrodin preview cards to talk about today!
