Re: the conversation currently taking place with Aaron Forsythe covering Avacyn Restored - 
It's a shame we'll only get to draft it for a month and a half, both in stores and competitively, before it's swept aside in favor of (yawn) the latest core set full of vanilla dudes and effects and newbie chaff like the lucky charms.  I would much prefer to see Avacyn Restored drafted competitively until the Fall 2012 expansion.  Why bother developing third sets for Limited if they'll be so quicly dismissed?

Re: the possible return of team limited -
PLEASE don't do this at the expense of solo limited.  Solo limited is already increasingly playing second fiddle to constructed.  Several consecutive US GPs (what, five?) being Constructed is a travesty.  US players like to play sealed and draft too.  Please keep it 50/50.

Finally good coverage, good job WOTC.

One thing that could still use still work in the live coverage of matches is the camera work. We still get far too many seconds of camera focusing on players faces, hands or other irrelevant things when there is actually some action happening on the table. This has always been a problem for the T8 webcasts and it's still present.

Agreed 100% with av.313 and I've shared this sentiment before.  Stick to the board exclusively while the match is in progress.  Show their faces, the background art, etc. Only in between rounds.  StarCityGames is doing this right in their Open Series coverage; WotC ought to follow suit.

Finally... I guess you realized that people like the SCG thing.

Now get rid of BDM as a moderator please.

Paulo vs Blohan:  BDM "He's got a hinterland hermit in play."  (It's actually a bane of hanweir) "It must attack and must be blocked".  Uh..... ?

They have the entire video coverage here. The interview with Aaron Forsythe is right in the beggining.

There are 3 kinds of people in the world: Those who know math and those who don’t.

There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
