"[Bolting the knight is] kind of a judgment call. I'm not sure why he would do that." -- Because with Necro, life was cards. Back then, any damage you could avoid taking later meant you could draw more cards instead. I hear drawing cards is pretty good.

At about 15 minutes they say it's a miss play to block the beast. The announcers are wrong; with a Necro in play every life is a card. By blocking, he traded one card for 3. That's ancestral recall!

@Thebrianweissman7 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the compliments, hard to believe this was 20 years ago! Randy deserves to be in the Hall of Fame for sure. No player should be judged on how they play in a single game (we've all made horrible mistakes), and I don't recall him even making horrible misplays in this match. I will have to rewatch it to be sure of that of course, just wasn't my overall impression.

At 10:00 when Suver cuts Randy's deck you can see him motion towards the top and makes another cut. I think since the backs of Ice Age cards where of a different shade I think he was purposefully cutting him away from what might have been a Necropotence or Demonic Consult. Just an observation!

+oR3Io Some people took it a lot further actually. Tomi Hovi and Olle Rade, both hall of famers, were notorious for using the various subtle differences in foreign print runs to their advantage. Sleeves were not mandatory, so both of those guys filled their decks with four-ofs from different editions and languages. It was a brilliant exploit of sorts, completely legal at the time, so neither can really be faulted for taking advantage of it. The early days of the Pro Tour were definitely the Wild West.

Why at around 10 minutes after Randy fetches a land he puts a land aside and someone hands him another one?
@deadnoobie285910 жыл бұрын
The land fetched was a Plains that was a proxy for Scrubland. Buehler didn't want to be shuffling with the Scrubland (it wasn't his and was lent to him and was given to him after his win) in deck so a proxy for it was put into the deck and when he fetched for it it was replaced with the actual card. Right after that you can see Suver's hand where there is a Plain's with the word Counterspell written on it as both players were playing with proxies.

It had really good stats if you were beatdown. stats that went beyond 1power/1mana were quite efficient: Black Knight, Ironclaw Orcs, Woolly Spider, Ernham Djinn. All 'very efficient'. Phyrexian War Beast: same story. Though it makes less sense in such a superslow deck...
@egeozdemir4127 Жыл бұрын
This creature looks like a bad card by today's standards. Back in the day, it lived through some of the premiere removal spells of its day (immune to Terror, four toughness for Lightning Bolt). It's stats were very aggressive for creatures during this time period. That said, Suver may have wanted to sideboard them given how poorly they lined up against Disenchant.
