[Free Article] The MTGO Power 9 Challenge – Results & Analysis

[ajfirecracker]

Hi folks!

There's a free article up over at http://www.eternalcentral.com/the-mtgo-power-9-challenge-results-analysis/

I analyse the importance of the Power 9 Challenge on Magic Online, focusing not only on metagame shifts but also the broader significance of the event for Vintage.

I also have a little bit of video embedded - my entire Top 16 run from the Power 9 Challenge. If you're interested in the "Pitch Dredge" deck, I highly recommend you watch to get a feel for lines of play with that deck.

"The most interesting and worrisome development was the 1st-place finish of a Tezzeret/Thirst/Thoughtcast deck at Ovino X." - The deck is TezzCast, and was developed back in 2008.

Other than that, I agree that the Power 9 Challenge is one of the best things to happen to online Vintage. At least for me, as I bought into online Vintage one year ago, but never got to play with the cards until that event was announced.
