20 Tweets: SCG New York
Going into a Star City Games event, it’s hard to predict what Twitter will focus on for the weekend. Some popular favorites include who’s announcing, a cheating scandal, pros in attendance, trash talking or sloppy play. Despite the Standard title being taken by Chris Dillahay’s U/W Delver (over a third of top 8 and 16–he’s back!), the biggest excitement was for second place finisher Kurt Crane’s Elf Wave combo deck featuring mana-hemorrhaging green creatures, Genesis Wave and some powerful finishes in the form of Ezuri, Renegade Leader and Craterhoof Behemoth. Switching over to Legacy, a diverse but unsurprising top 8 came down to Josh Cho’s Merfolk deck versus Kenny Castor with perennial top-finisher RUG Delver. In the end, Cho “lorded” it over Kenny and said go fish.
While the Wife is away, the kids will play.... Watching #SCGNY with the family. Congrats on HoF @thepchapin. twitter.com/MrScottyMac/st…

@shivdragon77 I love these wild creature decks. Infinitely better than yawning at Delver mirrors. #scgny

Stole Brad Nelson's Trading Post deck for #SCGNY this weekend. Didn't finish in the money but I did finish higher than Brad. Funnest. Deck.

@adrianlsullivan the esper player didnt have enough white to cast sun titan #scgny
— Austen Hoey (@AustenHoey) July 29, 2012
#SCGNY If I were Alex, I would concede this game as he can probably win game three and Sun Titan is really the only thing winning it for him

@scglive #scgny Wow. Great job Alex. Totally above-board. Bravo, sir.

nothing better then waking up to a breakfast of Cheetos and Fuze while watching #SCGNY. @scglive makes my weekends so much better #elfwave

I’m actually rooting for the Delver deck in the #scgny finals. Does that make me a bad person?

@fellwolf Did they GL him? Just turned the stream on. Who plays DFCs in white sleeves??? #SCGNY
— Chris Lansdell (@lansdellicious) July 29, 2012
@scglive They are either opaque, or not opaque... Not opaque enough = not opaque. DFC game losses not rare on this. Use checklists! #SCGNY
— Kim Warren (@Fellwolf) July 29, 2012
#SCGNY I really wanted to see the natural ending to that game 2. Having it end with a game loss for those delvers is blargh.
