I didn't feel like checking and I remember Thrillo pretty much not agreeing with the FoS guys on like anything.
this is a false assumption. i loudly disagreed with the one important card i disagreed on (stormbreath dragon), and got into an argument about how i wasn't disagreeing on the assessment of watchwolf (that it is just fine or whatever) tied to the previous loud argument about dragon.
i started out for ashiok, had my favor tempered when i realized it only affected the cards it exiled and that jace milled for 10, and then regained that favor as we got closer to release because of parallels with drownyard.

i'm pretty sure that card is insane as written

+0 if he were 3cc for middle ability and i think -2 at 2cc... -1 at 2cc reads "GG: put 3 2/2s into play" at worst and jace beleren-grindy gradual card advantage engine at best.

garruk
communes with beasts so 1/1s that aren't black mana-warped deathtouch wolves aren't permitted via flavor law

i could also see it being -3 make a 3/2 trample token

it's a 2cc planeswalker i don't have a lot to go on with what is and isn't balanced.

it obviously should discard a card at random first

Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2013 7:44 pm
by Thrillho
sorry i'll fix it:
garruk but he lost all him limbs fighting a beast GG
planeswalker -- garruk
as an additional cost to cast garruk but he lost all his limbs fighting a beast, discard a card at random.
+1 untap target land. discard a card at random.
-2 put a 2/2 green wolf creature token onto the battlefield under your control. discard a card at random.
-8 search your library for a green creature card, discard a card at random, then put it onto the battlefield under your control.

all i got out of this first weekend of tournament data is that people suffered collective amnesia that the card burning earth is good and exists.

that mono red deck actually looks good and like someone put a modicum of thought behind it, which is more than i can say for most of the rest of the top 8.

hear that fos members i'm publicly complimenting a mono-red deck.

though i would absolutely play a rubblebelt makka over that single gore-house chainwalker. if you're going to mise something in your deck overloaded with 2-drops, you may as well mise a card that will do something.

Can you link me to the top 8 you're referring to?

Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2013 8:49 pm
by Thrillho
also i'd like to point out how absolutely miserable the 1-drops in red are compared with the 2-drops in every color including red. owen turtenwald's red aggro deck is overloaded with 1-drops, but then do a 1-to-1 with any of the 2-drops in the other red deck and it's like why would you ever play those 1-drops.

97% of the time following the release of a new set, people reference the results of SCG open events as it is usually the largest, most robust data set available from a single event in that sort window in which the set has been legal during. as a result, it is also usually understood than when discussing outcomes of a large event after a new set's release, it can be assumed that the data in question comes from a star city event.

i'm sure a non-0 number of events have happened ever release weekend that weren't release events and were constructed events, but i can't name any as large as SCG events off the top of my head.
