Wow, day 2 matches were quite nice and interactive... the top 8 is kinda surprising in that sense. Chapin not getting there is sad =/
Burn, Elves, Ad Nauseam, Affinity, Goryo's vs Coco and 2 UR Twin. It's actually a good snapshot of Modern as a format (with more linear/non-interactive decks than "fair" ones), but BGx missing is surprising.
I guess the flavor of linear decks just change from week to week according to the amount of hate people play? Given that Tron and Amulet did so well last week, people over-prepared and that opened a door to stuff like ADN and Goryo's.

Collected Company OP
Klusa is my buddy and was playing the podless collected company deck. Zero goyf in it if I remember correctly as well, mainly combo focused.
Well, I don't think SCG is browsing these forums to see what we think, so like I said, if you didn't like their choice of the feature match, I suggest you try to criticize it in a way they might actually see, like Twitter.
I have no problem with the Twin mirror, since I even enjoy it (it is a really skill intense match-up). BUT there are so many cool decks in the top 8, so that's why I raged a little bit.

What I play or have:
Modern/Legacy
either funpolice (Delver, Deathcloud, UW Control) or the fun decks (especially those ft. Griselbrand)
Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than they already have. - René Descartes

Good point. Well at least its over early. On to the other matches!
watching SCG eat CROW with all the Bloom Doom was awesome!!!
all that Bloom hate, watching it lose multiple times on camera and not making top 8 (even though i love the deck) is really amazing!!
and Ad/Goryo in the top 8 and its not the feature match, we get more f*cking twin?! come on!!!
Anything, but nothing at the moment...

Might be a good idea to try tweeting your displeasure at them. Maybe they'll take notice.

I want to see some Company and decks we don't see literally every other tournament.
The good side of this is that one will loose and we won't have to watch it after this!

Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.

A Blue card to give other Blue decks the finger especially when coupled with a spicy Cavern of Souls naming Wizards
GRISELBRAND DEFEATED
AD NAUSEAM IS NOW THE DREAM
Sad sad time, but still an awesome run!
