If you saw that typo, no you didn't. Bit rough trying to get back into things but hopefully more content soon! As always see the full lists on Egman's website here: egmanevents.com/bss04-format/pro-play-games-chicago-grand-tour
Hey thanks for the video, you're the first one i've seen review the top 8 for chicago! I won Chicago and it was pretty fun! The reason I ran avalanche was because of tiger, which I did go against in round 2. The reason I sided in third eye snake is because player BigDawg showed me a ramp deck that i had no response to. Eva caught me by surprise. Sooo many players in that tournament were playing it, and i had to learn how to beat angels on my feet. Observations I got from that is that eva02/08 is a good deck, but I have yet to go against it. There were barely any hydra players, though some were splashing it in their deck. My friend went hydra and got 22nd i think... Anyways thanks for reviewing the deck, I took a while building it! Have a good day :)
I was at this event, and here's my perspective: There were 37 players at the event. Ira was REALLY heavily represented. I played against it in rounds 2, 3, 5, and 6. I was on Hydra. I'm only aware of one other Hydra player in the room, who took tenth in the event. If I had to guess, I'd say probably something like 12-16 players were on Ira. The player in 17th (I didn't get his name, which I regret) lost his last round to the Hydra player who ended in tenth, and his list was a saucy hybrid Ira/Hydra list. Austin was very friendly and outgoing, and spoke quite openly about how good green aggro is; he seemingly easily got 3rd in this event, so I think he was probably onto something. Most importantly, the community was really friendly and very welcoming, which was awesome. My friend (who got me into the game while playing a Friday Night Magic tournament about 3-4 weeks before this event) and I drove up from central Illinois after I saw this on the BSS website. We weren't sure what the turnout or community would be like, and it was really awesome to meet so many great people!

Thank you for the video and the invite to the MI crew!
Great video Koz, i think we’ll see a really different top 8 (aside from Ira) in Italy with more than double participants and a top cut day 2.
Thanks for the kind words about the deck!
How is hydra not even top 8?
Huge MI dub
Whats the health of the game atm?
Who knows, Eva set is fun as hell so I’m going to keep jamming games when I can. It’s not like Bandai gives us any insight so it’s hard to say.
I second this opinion on the Eva set. It has been more fun than ever to build with this set
bad state
Must be a op glazer @@lionelbale4313
