CardBoard Live at MC London: everything that happened.
Dear fans of CardBoard Live,
What a stellar month it’s been for CardBoard Live. We carried the momentum of the PAX Mythic Invitational straight into MC London.
The CardBoard Live team partnered with our dear friends at Wizards of the Coast to power the #MythicChampionshipII event: live decklists, standings, and metagame analysis. CardBoard Live became a seamless part of the viewing experience.
We provided live standings every round, and collaborated with stats guru (and Magic Hall of Famer!) Frank Karsten to ensure that the complete metagame breakdown was available throughout the tournament.
Tune in RIGHT NOW for @karsten_frank and @MissMariapants's analysis of the MC London Modern metagame, powered by @cardboardlive!https://t.co/llq2vRDvY2#MythicChampionshipII pic.twitter.com/tysHEh8Q20

The detailed breakdown extended into the “Other” category, and viewers definitely took notice.
Highlights of the "other" category at #mythicchampionshipII: two Sram O's, two Vannifar decks, one Mono-Red Prison, one Electro-Balance, one Mono-Red Prowess and a lonely UB Mill player.

The other important feature that we rolled out for MC London was live standings. Viewers loved having the ability to follow their favorite players.
