I think a meandecker, Dixon, Folonius (if he goes), JACO, Shawn Griffiths, Joel, or GLACKIN will win the event.

Soly is only going to 0-2 if he doesn't drop after losing round one and tilting.   Very Happy

I will do my best to fulfill your prophecy, good sir.

While we're on the topic of picking winners, why is there no NYSE bingo? Sad

To attempt to fill the void from a lack of bingo, let's play a little over/under with some Conspiracy hotness. Assuming Nick publishes the Top 16 decks, over/under in the Top 16:

4.5 Council's Judgment?

3.5 Dack Fayden?

2.5 Coercive Portal?

1.5 Dack's Duplicate?

0.5 Cogwork Librarian and friends Very Happy?

There was last year, so I'd imagine yes.

RE Video - Nick posted at some point that it would happen I believe, though something might have changed.

Nick, good luck on an outstanding event and I wish all the players the very best.  I will be forever indebted to someone for having Jeff Menges alter a Master of the Hunt to have sleeved arm tattoos and two daschunds in the frame.  Keith was taking it, but may not be able to attend now last minute.

Got the finals and last games of the semis on tape.

Keith Seals on Shops won.  Rob Edwards on Oath had some rough mulligans.

Couldn't make this one but my team did and they had a blast!  Wish there was more coverage but i understand that it is a community run event and resources are limited.  I hear the artists were all wicked cool and though no one on the team placed very high, the community and players and general vibe in the room was top notch!  Congrats to Mr. D for pulling off a great event!  I will make every effort to attend next year, this event looked awesome!!  How did Soly do?   Also, Mr. Lim was NOT on Dredge...well played, Sir.
