I think Wolf will win against Janse – go Wolf, go! (fellow Austrian)
Thanks for the Conley list, will definitely try to trade for the lands today (have all the rest).

In reply to Leshrac55. Round 16 results will be released any minute now. It looks like Paulo is indeed going to be guaranteed a spot in the top 8! Guillaume Matignon and Guillaume Wafo-Tapa are likely in as well.

Player of the year will almost definitely go to Sunday… Paulo looks almost guaranteed a spot in top 8

if you can send a BoP to graveyard, then necrotic ooze can give you any color mana, so you don't even have more need for lands….

In reply to Matt.

Grim Poppet can be used to create infinite mana with another creature in play.

Tap Ooze for G
Give Ooze -1/-1 counter to untap it
Remove -1/-1 counter from Ooze to give Creature XYZ -1/-1

(With the previous activation still on the stack) Repeat ad nauseum.

This can be used to clear the board for an arbitrarily large Ooze to attack.

In reply to Matt.

Here's the trick: You can make your Necrotic Ooze arbitrarily large, and then use Quillspike's ability repeatedly to create infinite mana all on its own.

Tap Ooze for G
Give Ooze -1/-1 counter to untap it
G, remove -1/-1 counter: Give Ooze +3/+3

Repeat ad nauseum

Then, alternate tapping Ooze for G and untapping it for -1/-1.

Isn't the infinite mana combo Necrotic Ooze + another creature in play + Devoted Druid and Grim Poppet in the 'yard?

Quillspike can pump the ooze infinitely but it needs the green mana produced by Devoted Druid to do so.
