Just thought I'd point out that the podcasts aren't loading. Could someone please try and fix it? I always enjoying hearing what Rich has to say.

In Alan Comer's game 1 against LSV, wouldn't he have been better off attacking Ajani with his War Monk rather than LSV?  Hitting your opponent to 15 is a lot less important than not losing your creature and letting your opponent keep charging up his Planeswalker.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the design of the plane of Golamo in the Great Designer Search 2!

im really interested in the summoning trap deck, i know at least one of them went 4-1 in standard
I like fun, but competitive decks.  So I might not play what is optimal but they have normally been tested to have a 2/3 winrate.

In the Round Nine coverage - Did Yellowhat call a Cruel Ultimatum twice in one tournament?

I confidently remember the called Cruel against Marco Orsini-Jones, not LSV.

No, there was only one called shot Cruel Ultimatum. Mind you, LSV and Orsini-Jones were playing the same deck, so it's not hard to see why the coverage people got it mixed up.

(Bill) LSV did it.  16-0. Unreal.



Wooooooo! Go LSV!

Since they don't have the Invitational anymore, including the winner getting a card they design with their likeness on it printed, Wizards should seriously consider resuming this for the PotY and those who achieve other historic feats, such as going a perfect 16-0 in the swiss of a modern multi-format tournament. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, this is one of the greatest single event accomplishments in Pro Tour history.

So here's the top eight:
1. LSV (USA)
2. Daniel Gräfensteiner (Germany)
3. Kyle Boggemes (USA)
4. Simon Görtzen (Germany)
5. Niels Viaene (Belgium)
6. Yoshihiko Ikawa (Japan)
7. Craig Wescoe (USA)
8. Jeroen Kanis (Netherlands)

LSV is the only one with top eight experience, but a fairly intersesting group of players none the less. Gräfensteiner and Görtzen have been at the top of German magic for some time, it's nice to see them do well here. I don't know anything about Boggemes, Kanis or Ikawa. Viaene is playing his first Pro Tour, but top eighted the gianormous grand prix in Paris last season. I haven't heard of Wescoe before but apparently he top eighted a pair of grand prix back in 01-02.
