The math required in the Tinker mirror was insane; these two guys also knew each other's game like no one else, having been long time friends and team members. The whole match, but especially this game, were top notch.

mtg opened Yes when ESPN 2 was struggling for content in the 90's it was a staple of coverage on the network. Eventually ESPN started getting college sports on ESPN 2 which eventually forced Wizards to invest in their own set of cameras, etc. for coverage.

@carlosspencer53696 жыл бұрын
If Maher put Finkel down to 1 then he would not be able to pay for processor and that basically shuts him out of the game, playing necropolis post combat will protect from colossus too. Finkel is just so good to have seen this misplay.

@FlamingZelda33 жыл бұрын
@@patmacrotch5611 He paid 19 life and then chose to make life mostly irrelevant, the reactors saw that as a strong play, but his opponent (and the comments above) recognized that he did not need to play that artifact when he did and it may have been stronger to hit his opponent for 19 life.

Well that’s what happens when you’re playing a set that contains only four cards that are worth $40-$100 and then when the set gets shipped it out the $40 to 100 cards are now $.25 each. That’s why you have to use those cards quickly become pro or end your miserable career

for those of you who are wondering about the play of all these cards without sleeves... the DCI had a rule where in all high level magic tournaments the top 8 would be played without sleeves to prevent cheating. I think replacement cards were on hand to make sure cards were without nicks and scratches and such.
@SyntheticaYT11 жыл бұрын
Bob Maher played Crumbling Sanctuary, which turns all damage into milling instead. But he played it BEFORE attacking...if he waited and attacked for 19 *first*, Finkel would have been at 1 life and couldn't pay any life to make blockers with his Phyrexian Colossus. Instead, Finkel got milled for 19, made blockers with Sanctuary, and eventually won.

Two players pay 19 life, but what made Bob concede was milling his Stroke of Genius, that would mill Finkel thanks to Crumbling Sanctuary previous work. This was a mill mirror match disguised as a control match with big bois. LONG LIVE THE MILL.
@kcostell11 жыл бұрын
I guess the play being referred to in the column is Maher playing the Sanctuary pre-combat, allowing Finkel to let the token through unblocked and still have life to play for his own Processor?

Why would he pay 19? Paying 10 is still a 2 turn clock, it still blocks a Colossus, and you don't die to a Colossus.

because colossus is a one of, and the main kill from each deck was to make tokens. if your opponent got bigger token than you, you essentially couldnt win.

2 reasons: 1) glare means that the old cameras could not see the cards 2) sleeves were badly produced back then, so they were often miscut, WotC could see this as a form of marking cards, so sleeves were banned in tournaments.
