I liked it. It's easy to see that you applied yourself by the ammount of information it countains. The videos are nice too. Yes a few small things need improvment but overall it's pretty good.
What about Riptide Laboratory ? That card was like not even 1 about two weeks ago and it was already heavily played then. You don't need playsets and I dont think anyone ever will hoard this card, nor pay 6 tickets for it. Must be a mistake in pricing or I am missing something big. :)
@ham: This format is way better for the whole index, thanks a lot for changing. Maybe you could also paste (as you obviously already have them) the +/- for std, ext, cls?
the decklists are much better presented than your last article, although the frank karsten elves is still bad :(
two things i would have liked to see:
first graphic on percentages, not on number of wins
second graph with a third bar on "percentage of wins", because fae got alot of top8s but very few wins. it would be interesting to see what were the best performing decks overall.
there is also a missing reference that the "attendance" is on top8s, it can give the idea it's the attendance of a whole tournament :)
Excellent article, very good for whoever's playing ptq able to know what to expect all very well analyzed in this article.
We want more of these articles.
Colossus, as well as Progenitus (which has the same ability):
When painter/stoned, if there is exactly one colossus or progenitus, then the loop will end with it being the only card in the deck. If there are two, whether two of the same or one of each, it is an infinite loop and the game will end in a draw. MTGO implements this by the game server "crashing" the game, which means that your client freezes for a bit and when it unfreezes, the game has ended in a draw.
Gaea's Blessing is better, as long as the opponent does not have Stifle or instant targeted card drawing. The main difference between the two cards is that Darksteel Colossus has a replacement effect (doesn't use the stack), and Gaea's Blessing has a triggered ability (hence Stifle can stop it) that does use the stack.
I'd just like to point out Whiffy shared the list that won the PE today...
loved the detail on this post, even if Fae is rather succulent I do like the new dredge and the Death cloud decks, seem utterly nasty :D
Nice article, very good Andrea
I understand your thinking underneath but still Bone Splinter is quite a bomb in that kind of deck. Still good job and good column

Yeah, definitely made a mistake there, I was just a bit creature shy, but still, should have made this one.
I do agree with you about all subjects. Ill try to improve in the next article.

Good stuff.
Keep up with the good work. Maybe next time you could expand the analysis to the metagame we can expect online.

great articlE
It's a creature, so it's a token when removed by Necrogenesis.
or answer here if u cannot see my mail adress..
It's either early card draw plus a token or a late game finisher, it's all things..

Looks like I got everything back up and running. Good job on the article, a lot of good work here, and plenty of information that is important.
Thank you, The Editor is working fiercily to solve the issues with the article
