What is your favorite deck seeing play at Pro Tour Born of the Gods? I really like Blue Moon.
I like Blue Moon, but I'll always be a pod player at heart. There's a weird Melira list that runs {Knight of the Reliquary}, so I'm going to go with that.
I really like the Amulet deck I saw running about

It's awesome eh? I'm so happy that i bought 3 Amulets for my EDH decks when they were $0.50 lol
I have two play sets from when I played my mono green mana ramp
I like blue moon as well, I'm hoping for it to win because:
It seems like the most efficient of the rogue decks in the pt
If it becomes more popular, ill win more because I'm trying to build affinity
{Amulet of Vigor} deck is one of the more interesting decks. Watching him win with the pact/hive mind route was awesome.
I'm not a fan of either decks. Blue moon is good in a zoo heavy meta and the bloom deck has been around for awhile and isn't my thing, are people now paying attention to it because this is a PT?
Twin, living end, pod, zoo, and UWr are likely going to top 8. I haven't seen any lists but I'm hoping for Affinity, UWr or Zoo. I didn't see anyone playing BGx or Bogle which makes me sad :(

I saw one or 2 Bogle decks but that's about it. Then again I didn't catch all of the PT
I really like Blue Moon, because I have been trying to build a Black Moon deck. Its basically just a Rakdos control deck, utilizing Pox style control and discard, but the {Blood Moon} helps shut your opponent down even more. Additionally, the red splash enables a lot of different mainboard and sideboard options.

That's a really cool idea! I actually really like that and Blue Moon it just makes sense why does mono red get the only benefit from Blood Moon? {U} and {B} should have it too!!!
Out of curiosity and a stunning volume of ignorance, let's say I had this friend who would like to watch this "PT", where could this friend (not me mind you) find the applicable footage?

I like the mono black control/8rack that made day 2

Was it similar to your 8-rack?

Yeah very similar core of the deck. Has some small differences.

The footage is on YouTube and they stream PTs on Twitch.tv also, just go there and search Magic: The Gathering.

I'm loving the strength UWR has again. Also, this tournament is a great show of why deathrite is banned and probably won't be unbanned. We have so much more diversity, and Jund isn't 6 of the top 8 decks.
Yeah, but now we have 50% of it being Twin lists :/

And sideboards will adapt :), twin isn't even in the finals. Birthing pod is, no surprise here, the deck is still top 2
It's still going on? 😱I figured it'd be pod v twin or pod v UWr

Yes, there is a lot more diversity, but I think it will be unbanned in a few years. I think many things will eventually come off the ban list as the format grows. The only things that should stay on the list long term are broken combo pieces.
From what I've read bitterblossom isn't as pimp op as everyone thought
