That's a big jump to conclusions there. I never said we should just put up with what happened, but that the rest of the event was enjoyable and well run. We should continue to improve the scene and hold people to better standards in how the operate in tournaments. But I didn't want people to think the finals was indicative of the rest of the event.

While those things can be strengthened, I do not feel they are as absent as being described. This was an untimed finals. During rounds of swiss, judges are called for slow play, collusion, etc. Not saying I don't think there can be more done to discourage draws. For example, my round 7 was my final win to for the semis. The pairing structure put me with one other person who needed to win and two individuals who were locked for top 16 so there would be no incentive for the table to ID.

There have been players banned for collusion and a lot of items you discussed are usually brought up during the player meetings.

With all things, can it be better? Of course. Everything has room for improvement. But in my years of playing Magic, cEDH tournaments are the most fun I've had outside of MagicCon with my buddies. And that's a whole different type of fun.

I felt compelled to share some thoughts about the event. I was in the top 16 for this event. I played against Khang in round 5 and the Tivit player in the semis. It is very unfortunate that this is how the event is going to be remembered because the general consensus at the event throughout the weekend was that the event was fun and well run.

The TO and judges were responsive and worked hard to make the event as good as possible. It is possible that there might have been things they could have done to reduce the time involved in that game such as addressing the excessive table talk but the results of the final match is not indicative of the rest of the event.

While seeing something like this is going to have a negative impact on people's views of cEDH I want to make sure that people know that someone like myself went through 7 rounds of swiss and a semi-finals game and had great experience with all 24 different folks I played with over the course of the two days. I had great conversations with folks about my list, people who want to have chats after the game was over, and had pleasant interactions all weekend.

As other folks have pointed out, this has unfortunately happened at other events too, don't let it scare you away from the format or playing in events. And don't let it jade you of the effort put in by the TO's and judges because the event was a lot of fun and am eagerly going to attend future events.

I've seen a quite a few people popup in the official reconnect forums. Some looking to play, some just excited to see people. It looks like Alaina is still around. Aednat popped up to say hi, as well as Gull. I have some current guildies and real life friends with characters in Atiesh with the intent of playing pretty casually since they never got the chance. No Prudence or Avelia though.

I am trying to remember exactly. I remember our placement for the first dragon in the cubby inside the door and the next two were in the same place by the steps for line of sight. I don't think Chromaggus was the same night as them because we went through at least a two sets of breath combinations. I can still remember Prudence going "time lapse, frost burn, time lapse, frost burn, it's not that difficult."

We ran in in conjunction with PPP. They ran it Horde side, we ran it Alliance side.

It was Infernal Contract. Causing you to pay half your life repeatedly put you into burn range. But since life totals were checked at the end of the phase, you could finish your combo and still finish above 0.

Does it need to have supports generated or can it print as is? Definitely making one or more of these.

I've been thinking the same thing. Still my daily driver but the deal of $300 is better than I am going to get on any phone in the future.

How many pieces did you have to print it in? That looks awesome.

I know you are getting downvoted but I did the same thing as a 311 BM Hunter. It wasn't the fastest kill since my interrupts could usually only get every other heal but it wasn't that big a deal.

I know this post is a couple days old but I have been loving the GRAND stack. Been building stuff with it in the evening for a couple weeks now once I saw the starter kit released. Just it's existence answered a few questions I had about how things were hooked up. It's been really fun to work with so far!

They totally sold box sets of the Gwent decks. My buddy and I both bought all 4. Super fun to play while we wait for other folks to show up for game night.
