>5/8 The End in Swiss
>7/8 are hamburgers
Guise, the end and burgers aren't a problem!

Hmmmm, I was going to say 'why the fuck are you playing Stands you retard'?

I cannot prioritise, it seems.

Trust me, I facepalmed at the stands too.

Aww Daiyusha lost.

The End castration plz, honesty, if Ji Endo isn't restricted in thr English meta after these results, it's because the list is never coming at all...

In before it was Flame Seed Salamander while he mained no Heatnail Salamanders.

Is there any place where you can post each finalist's decks? Because I cannot accept the no Heatnail thing.

It can't be a thing.

Right?

You're forgetting this is Vanguard, Lich...

The players over there must be very bad to lose to the no critical The End.

Apparently the stands were for Tejas (and to a lesser extent Bellicosity).

That's...terrible.

What I want to know is what is the deal with that Ezelmore?

Lucksack.

It's GPs answer to everything.

Got a bad field? Lucksack. Behind on taxes? Lucksack. Naggy spouse? Lucksack their ass too.

Winning deck. Too lazy to watch, someone post the list plz

Duce put it up three posts ago.

Do not read if you want to live.

Almost makes you vomit seeing all this.

It semi makes sense. people expect end decks to be crit and draws, so keep guarding the Vg. When stands begni to appear they realise the error but between the end still standing if it hits and has the G3 they can't be sure if there are crits in the deck and eventually ti wins.

Basically shock tactics in a 1 of format throws opponents off guard.

Uhh that's not a tactic dude. Security through obscurity doesn't work. You STILL have to guard the vanguard whether it has stands or crits because it's The End. That logic doesn't work. In that case, you'd be better off with crits because at least those do something for you when they're checked against a hamburger.
