my god this means no prepration or edwin or mylgos or giants or doomhammer or jaraxxus or big game hunter or .. hmm somehow I feel bad for warriors they lose brawl, gorehowl, grom and shield slam. I think priests get the long stick in this one :D I'm not that sad to lose any of my legendary or epics :D

Haha @ priest comment. To be honest I wouldn't be sad at loosing any of our cards except holy nova, mind control and mass dispell.
I think these bans will help us have a better(not exact) feel at the beginning of the beta when were all stuck with random lowbee cards
Now the only problem is practice. Not everyone is playing a tournament deck and it's already lot harder to find regular opponents these days now it's near impossible to find someone without epics or legendaries.

Our Teamspeak should help you find opponents with similar intent and you could also befriend them on cockatrice and hopefully find them when you log on. I know a lot of them are actually practicing as of now.

Just to clarify something after the stream, we will not be using the "updated versions" of the card as it is not enough time for most people that have been building their archetypes and also putting them in practice (ie: fireball will still be 5 mana for 6 damage) to modify.
Also, due to popular demand here is a link for the ManaGrind cockatrice backgrounds displayed today during the tournament stream(there are four pieces that you can navigate through in the little nav bar right above every picture): http://imgur.com/xYtRJW0,RQcrFII,yFk9kRV,wNk5YNl#0
we had guests that left 3 hours after the tournament started, I felt like I forgot something I remembered after I saw the winners :D Also how do I get those images to work with cockatrice?
