Doomsday is back???? (prob not)

Oko Landstill

Breakfast!!!!

Artificer's Intuition

Negator 77-The difficulty some players had being able to play in the PTQ last weekend and the upcoming showcase event due to the reduction in league QP prizes relative to the forced entry for those events (40QP), when it was 35 for the "playoff" events last year and open entry (P Points/Tix) for the PTQ's.  People almost have to grind a ton or find time for the awkwardly scheduled daily (ahem sorry, prelim) events.

so spike a prelim or GRIND a lot

4 for a 5-0, 2 for a 4-1.. none for 3-2

so 10 5-0's, 20 4-1's or a combo

I won the trophy race and barely had the 80 required for the ptq and this weekends showcase playoff

Modern Open

http://www.starcitygames.com/decks/Star_City_Games_Open/2019-10-12_modern_Indianapolis_IN_US/1/

Storm likely being the best deck is indicative of bigger issues within legacy

Stryfo pile primed to crush?

Surgical much less common

Sperlings resp to the ari lax tweet wrt taking the draw

Twitter questions

https://twitter.com/ThirstForCast/status/1184253979359887360
Discord questions

Steve S-Do you think Wizards is pushing the power level of cards not just because of Standard but because it encourages Modern and Legacy players to buy singles, driving sealed product sales?

Dylan H-When w6 was printed many people were thinking that it would best fit in a “lands” style deck weather it is aggro Loam, lands, or a KOTR deck. Like deathrite shaman it found its best home in blue decks. Do you think the ability to put cantrips around powerful cards is going to end up putting pressure on WOTC to ban a blue card like ponder, daze, or brainstorm? Especially if they keep their current design strategy up.

NotSoSilentBob1-If you’re going to play a constructed trios event what decks would you press your teammates to play in each format

Lawrence Harmon-Is it true that being bald makes you better at magic because you spend less time on your hair and more time grinding? Do you think shaving your head is the secret tech?

Real question: Lawrence-How do you feel about your scg years? Do you look back at them fondly? How do you feel they shaped you as a player? Will we see the return of the iconic pink sleeves?
