when at the time of recording it was already putting up strong results.
Sorry, I guess this is where I misspoke - you're right that Mystic Forge didn't have any finishes yet. My intended point was that it's more enjoyable and interesting to listen to you guys make predictions when no one knows anything yet. In this case, there were already Mystic Forge decks running around at the time of recording, so the predictions were less interesting than usual.
I'm not really sure exactly what that means. Andy Probasco previewed the card with the Team Serious guys, and posted a quarter dozen decklists at that time. So, the card arrived with people presenting decklists. Given that, it wouldn't really be possible to make predictions when "no one knows anything yet."
I'm not sure we can ever make a prediction when no one knows anything, as the very day, and often hour, that cards are spoiled, people are making commentary and drafting decklists.
That said, we made these predictions before a single Mystic Forge appeared in a Top 8, and more importantly, before the card was even officially released into paper, and long before the NYSE.
