Happy Monday MTG peeps,
A solid chunk of our weekend was spent getting one member of the MTG Realm playgroup up to date on a Commander decklist that she is wanting to launch. Quite specifically, she had the nucleus of the list all together and the group helped flesh it out. The next step is to sell some of the many different infinite and limited combos that are available - such as taking additional turns through Thopter Assembly + Time Sieve, or perhaps a repeatable (one-sided_ board wipe with Nevinyrral's Disk + Darksteel Forge. Anywhoos, much more to think about with this.
The 2015 World MTG Champ Seth Manfield took top spot at Grand Prix New York with a W/B Control build. Just over 2,000 players gamed in this event and WotC staffer Marc Calderaro has a great article on what the post Shadows Over Innistrad metagame looks like. As expected, White-Green Tokens, Bant (now four colour) Collected Company and White-Black Control were the decklists to beat. Here are the Top 8 -
