Y'know, you can just look here:    http://www.classicquarter.com/dci_report.asp?TourneyID=26

But since Flash will be active by next tourney, I think that might be the last ES that looks like nothing but aggro

[Zherbus]

Yeah, but I was hoping to backfill in the rest of the T8 at some point. Those results just show the T4 and don't really give a more complete look at the metagame. For instance, from looking at the T4, can you tell there were combo (or at least comboish) decks and affinity?

No, but then since you don't actually register decks (only if you win a prize) it's pretty hard to force people to post thier decklist.  So you are likely to be repeating exactly what is on the tourney link unless you get more decklists from the non-prize winners.

Just don't see the point of repeating the decklists in a post such as this.  Mentioning what kind of decks were used sonds great to me though.

[Zherbus]

Well, if anyone new to Classic wanted to post questions and discuss the lists, it'd be a good thread to do it in. And there is also the people who look here but don't look there. I know a refusal to click a link and navigate the tournament system sounds silly, but it happens. I've been doing this whole forums thing for a while. You could give me the benefit of the doubt that I don't make total waste of threads.

However, I do encourage anyone to use the deck system on ClassicQuarters website. Danger has set it up nicely with a really strong search engine. It's a simpler interfaces than SCG's, but has all the important parsing options. Give it a look. Also, look at the Tournament standings for the season. You can watch yours truely try to stay in the running for Classic worlds despite my insistance on playing bad Affinity decks (I go by LordHypno there).

As to Dangers other comment about the T8 being mostly aggro, I think it'll somewhat mirror Legacy. But I wouldn't put nearly as much stock in Goblins in Classic when Flash is around.

Yeah without REB or Pyroblast, I can't think how they'd hope to beat Flash.

So is Gifts Rock actually superior to Vampiric Rock? I'd be surprised...

Well, in one way.
